Between The Staples

Hey all. Yes this weeks Best Bang is very late as I took the weekend off and went to enjoy family and a wedding. So the best books for this week are the likes of The Umbrella Academy #6, Angel #4 and The Mighty Avengers #9. Due to the blah of this weeks Red Hulk, I thought its head (in a top hat no less!) would make for good rankings, as always from top to bottom.

Like always you can Click here read the reviews on the Z2H blog >> or you can click below to read the reviews on this site.

The Umbrella Academy #6 (Dark Horse) This series started with a bang and ends with one. Best series of 2007/2008 bar none!

Angel #4 (IDW) One name. Groosalugg. Nuff said. Only downside was seeing Lorne again as it does not fit with the ending of Season 5 in which the character walked out on a high.

The Mighty Avengers #9 (Marvel) Okay I loved the first few pages which has Doom and Morgan LeFay sleeping together and trading spells. That made the book for me, the rest was so-so. Loved the last panel as well!

The Un-Men #7 (DC/Vertigo) Nice start of the next storyline for this book and characters. I think ths book is really finding its groove and I look forward to many more issues!

Batman & The Outsiders #4 (DC) I am really liking this series now. I enjoy the way the characters interact with one another. Chuck Dixon rarely lets me down.

Justice League of America #18 (DC) I hated the short main story and back-up story format. Hate it. Did not mind the issue but it did not really move forward well enough which is too bad.

Terror Inc #5 of 5 (Marvel Max) I really enjoyed this messed up horrific book with a nice anti-hero in Terror and a great few last panels.

The Boys Volume Two: Get Some - TPB (Dynamite) Collects issues 7 - 14. If it gets you off then its a good thing.

Wildstorm: Revelation #3 of 6 (DC/Wildstorm) Nemesis and the girls outwit more of the Wildstorm Universe until Grifter and Zealot show up. Nice little bit with the original Blacklash. The story decent and the art was okay but I am not fond of the parts of unfinished work bleeding out of the panels, it made the book look unprofessional and unfinished.

The Loners: Secret Lives of Super Heroes - TPB (Marvel) I was expecting more of a Runaways feel but it came out and stood on its own which was enjoyable to read. Decent.

Checkmate #23 (DC) Mix in Superman with Checkmate and Kobra and you got a good book. It is too bad that Rucka is leaving the title which gave the entire issue a strange taste. I don’t want to enjoy the book too much since I know he is leaving soon.

Red Hulk #2 (Marvel) Seriously is anyone reading this book? Its all over the map and Red Hulk goes from Godzilla/King King size to regular Hulk size and its like WTF?

The Ultimates #3 (Marvel) Wolvie leads The Avengers… I mean…. the Ultimates after Magneto and Pietro in the Savage Land. *yawn*

Countdown #10 (DC) Granny Goodiness is gone, the old Gods are back and some how the Piper is still alive. Seriously anyone reading this series?
