Meh. Is it a decent read? Yes, but just barely. Does it utilize Jim Lee's talents? No. Does it even read like a Geoff Johns book? No. Does it come across as an Elseworld? For now, yes. Does it need a second print when you can buy it digitally? No. Is it getting one anyways? Yes.

It’s the Goon versus midgets, bearded ladies and well every other imaginable type of freak show out there. After getting run off the road the Goon and Franky decide to give the torso-man an ass kicking and chase after him into the woods.

The first major story arc for Mindfield wraps up and frankly I haven’t kept up with the book since the first issue so I was a bit curious to see how it turned out. Our main characters are in a standoff in Nebraska to stop a psycho with his own mental powers from setting off a nuke in Minnesota’s Mall of America.

The first three issues have consistently raised the bar for this series, but the fourth issue hits a plateau as it transitions into the next plot line. Finally though, we get that intense meeting between Pinhead and Christy that the series has been building towards with the first three issues.

The first issue of Loose Ends grabbed me and caught my attention, but this second issue is so different and so good that I’m hooked me on this series. It’s exactly what an indie comic should be… different from everything else.

I’ll admit this was my first issue of Blue Descent and really I have no idea where it falls in the Fathom timeline. I did find the issue to be very interesting as it revealed the origin of the water species which is divided in two groups: The Black and the Blue.

Allow me to sum up my history with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise… I love it. I am one of those many nerds that still have all of their figures, comics and video games… and a VHS that I received for one of my birthdays.

There something about Lotus that really grabs me. I think it might be that the angle is different form the other Executive Assistant titles in the Hit List Agenda crossover. Perhaps I’m able to sympathize more with Lotus as a character than I can with the others which makes the ending of this issue all the more shocking.
