| They're sort of boned; I mean really what can they do? They can't kill off the Illuminati and at best, the Hulk can humiliate them.
These days, the things I look forward to the most are whatever Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis are doing, and the current Green Lantern run with the Sinestro Corps. It's amusing to no end that DC's big countdown event is a turd and that GL Corps and GL are featuring an awesome story, that has so much more in terms of possible ramifications for the DCU. Same goes for Annihilation at Marvel, great space based story that's more enjoyable than the current mainstream books.
Last panel of the last Punisher MAX book was fucking great. I love this book, it's so bleak and full of despair. Even when Frank is winning, everyone is losing and each arc brings us some new villian who manages to be more vile than the last. That slavers arc has been my favorite so far. So far the best sequence in the book is a dream sequence with Frank roaming NYC and the streets are piled high with dead criminals as someone calls his name. He turns to see the silhouettes of his family - only to hear his wife say "Frank, we're still dead." |
