Comics!
Cable and Deadpool: WHEE!
New Excalibur: Very shiny.
Black Widow: Kick ass, baby.
Cable and Deadpool.
The Good:
ITTY BITTY TOWEL.
The writing, as always, was snappy and incredibly amusing.
Itty bitty towel.
Irene? What was up with the pants?
The cat-guy's talking the girls down. Heheheh. And, er, kicking their asses.
Itty Bitty Towel. (no, I can't emphasize the fact that we had naked Nate and mostly naked Nate, and OMG FABIAN WATCHES newBSG) More exploitation of male nakedness, please.
OMG. The almost shout-out to the Black Widow LS. Apparently, Fabian and the other dude like similar names. Rafel Palmiero vs Rafael Perez.
The Bad:
No Domino.
Conclusion: Fabian is on crack, but so's Patrick. And Nicole loves us.
New Excalibur.
The Good:
TJ, Nightcrawler, Kitty, Pete (OMGPETE), Dazz, Juggernaut... the list of characters running around is fabulous. Yes, I miss Meggan, but Brian is NICELY balanced between emo and not emo.
The opening sequence, with the fight? Very pretty. The art through-out is just beautiful. Brian's uniform design is spiffy, and I liked the pacing and layout.
Kitty and Pete's conversation (while, um, Courtney Ross watches... o.O). OMG MY SHIP IS STILL CANON. And they're back to hating each other. Well, she is. Kitty! Make him pay! On his knees. Which, this Kitty? Wearing a skirt. Kitty! Was this so Pete would have easy access?
Juggernaut being all worried about Dazzler. Has he ever even met Ally? I don't think he has.
Can I mention the opening fight again? Because it was really pretty.
The broken lighthouse! OMG, Brian, you Emo Bastard!
Betsy being alive, and the crack about it running in the family (Brian died first, bitch! And then you got gutted! HAH!).
The sense of... family, actually, when they all showed up and Betsy hugged Brian.
Kurt! OMG. I forgot this until now, but the bit where Kurt starts praying? Very delicate and nicely done, and while I MISS SWASHBUCKLING KURT, priest!Kurt ain't shabby.
The Bad:
Courtney Ross. WTF? The real Courtney is dead, and the bitch that took her place disappeared into the ether with Jamie Braddock ten years ago, but, suddenly, she's still in London??
I didn't know Dazzler was British.
Kitty Pryde does not wear skirts.
The pacing was a little haphazard. It was running, full-tilt, and there was no time to pause and take a breath.
The anti-mutant hysteria. Um. Yeah, guys? STOP HAMMERING IT HOME. WE GET IT. I know that anti-mutant is your favorite trick pony, but England wasn't America, last I checked.
Pete Wisdom, Captain of the Let Me Tell You My Feelings Brigade. Um... Yes. Because Pete likes talking about his feelings, and wouldn't just ignore her and gaze at her and smoke a cigarette. Which, and Timey just noticed this: WHY ISN'T WISDOM SMOKING??? C'mon, the man was a fucking chimney, and now he's gone cold turkey?
Conclusion: Not bad. Had its low points, but on the whole was decent, and it looks like someone's keeping Claremont's dialogue from being overly loquacious. Plus, Kitty and Pete hating each other? We're back to the drawing board withangry fucking against a wallpossibility for expansion. Especially, 'cause, y'know, she's actually an adult now. And legal. Very legal.
Black Widow
The Good:
The art, as always, has this incredible feel of film noir with bright colors and grainy shots, and movement.
Natasha deciding what she wants--not good, not right, just one person.
The call to DD. OMG. And Nick Fury teasing him. HAHAHAH.
Lots of things going boom.
Natasha with a knife at someone's throat? Oddly hot.
Kestrel being a lesbian is still good. (I liked the bit with the waitress in the last LS. Um, yes. May be fixated) Kestrel being a bitch and a cold-blooded one at that, is also good.
The Bad:
Er. Kestrel's new partner. Kind of boring. Kestrel using him was amusing, though.
There's a little less flow to this LS than the last one. I feel like less of the pieces fit together. Like there were dangling strings, but then they accidently knitted some of them elsewhere.
Conclusion: Still one of the best things out there, with one of the strongest female characters leading the wave and kicking so much ass.
New Excalibur: Very shiny.
Black Widow: Kick ass, baby.
