Here's Some Deadpool to Pass the Time...

My friend has this mini and I just had to read it. I mean, it has Deadpool in it! And he's one of our favorites here at Haphazard Heroines!

So, this is called Suicide Kings and here goes the commentary:

There's been a lot of Deadpool about lately, whether he's in his own book or one of several crossovers (including Messiah War).

This is a funny mini and there is a bunch of mayhem, as usual. 

Some rich kid wants Deadpool to kill a bookie for a million dollars, which Deadpool readily agrees to. Somehow, he realizes that this kid isn't going to pay him (wow, when did he become able to do that?), but he's really into women, which he can get with money, so that's why he agrees. 

I like the "Hooters" reference, casually called "Knockers". XD

So, we figure out that the plot isn't as easy as it sounds, as the Punisher and a villain named Tombstone are main characters.

I really like the jokes cracked by Deadpool, as usual, and I really like that, even though the plot doesn't make sense half of the time, they just keep it going, making jokes and continuing with the convoluted plot.

I definitely liked the first issue, and I haven't read two, three, or four yet, but, all in all, I'm excited to see where this small series will go.

Also, really big fan of the fantasy wedding to the Knockers girl. Meeeeeow!

I Don't Know Whether To Scream or Laugh

Barack the Barbarian?

This is the description:

Tim Seeley According to THE MADDOWIAN CHRONICLES he was the one destined to save the great republic of America and dethrone the overpaid despots of the time.

Join Barack, Sorceress Hilaria, her demi-god trickster husband Biil, Overlord Boosh and Chainknee of the Elephant Kingdom. Who can the lone barbarian trust, if anyone? 

Overlord Boosh? Sorceress Hilaria? What's next? Princess Mi-Chelle?

Gotham City Sirens?

Just picked this up yesterday (it said it was new... and it said "Gotham City"... how could I resist?) and it's alright.

This is the oddest series I have read in a while, and that's really saying something.

It starts with Selena going on about how she still feels crappy and basically tells everything that's been going on. She was beaten up by like a mugger or something, and, strangely, Poison Ivy comes to her rescue. Do they have some kind of villainous understanding or something? So, Harley is living with Ivy (which is kinda crazy) and Ivy is like "wth?" when it comes to Selena, who is still shaken about the whole "had-heart-taken-out-of-body-by-Hush" thing.

And somehow the Riddler's in it...

Anyway, then Ivy drugs Selena to ask what Batman's secret identity is (not so nice after all).

That's when the issue ends, with a hair-splitting cliffhanger. I really wonder how they managed to pitch this. I mean, it's not bad, just weird. I guess because it goes well with the whole Batman: Reborn thing.

So, in issue 2...

I like the little trick Selena uses to not have to tell the identity of Batman. Thanks Talia al Ghul! It felt like Harley and Ivy were just going through the motions, not really feeling it, because it just seemed mechanical in the writing. Most of the story is that way, actually, making it seem superficial, as if nothing important is going on in the story for the entire issue(s?). It's a bit forgettable. It could be a pretty good series, but the writer needs to step up.

I'm trusting Paul Dini to keep this good, because DC has been really weak lately. The art I didn't like too much. Too...exaggerated? It's got that thing where women wearing almost nothing pose in impossible ways thing. It's weird. Maybe I'll grow to like it.

Return To Wonderland

Not the other Wonderland story I have posted on.

No, this is "Wonderland like we've never seen it". Sounds promising!

I just bought the softback version of this and so far, it's pretty good. I really can't spoil much, as I just began reading it myself, but I wanted to post on it before I moved on and forgot.

It's definitely worth getting.

So, basic summary:

"Years have passed since Alice took her trip down the rabbit hole. She is no longer the little girl you once knew. Alice is now a grown woman with a husband and kids, living the everyday life of a typical housewife. But everything is not what it seems.

Alice's mind has become detached from reality, leaving only an empty shell of her former self. Now her daughter, Calie, will follow in her mother's footsteps to discover the truth behind madness that plagues her mother and the twisted world called Wonderland where the story of Alice was only the beginning."

XD

Buy it or borrow it or something.

It's definitely better than the Titans Prelude XD

Soon To Be Mine...

Batman Confidential #32 - 

Very excited for this one. Batman goes to Moscow because the guy in charge of the mob in Russia wants to take over the Gotham City mob, so, of course, Batman can't let this happen.

Wait, I thought he was dead?

Deadpool - Merc With a Mouth #2

I've been waiting for the second part of this.

Head Case Pt. 2 - he sees his own zombified head?

And I thought the last issue was good!

Doom Patrol #1 - 

I've talked about it before, so we know it's gonna be great. I pre-ordered it online because my local comic store sucks XD

What I am NOT Reading:

The Death of the New Gods.

Sorry, DC, but it's boring and confusing. I had to reread the issues like three times to kind of understand...

Batman and Robin...Minus the True Batman

IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT!

Dick Grayson is one of my all-time favorite DC Characters. I really love him! But I hate reading the newest Batman and Robin series, because, as much as I love Nightwing, I love Batman more.

As another comic blogger has stated, there is the old "different personalities" dynamic between Dick and Damian, which a Dick and Tim combo would lack, as they are more like brothers.

But Damian gets to me. I didn't like him in Batman and Son or Battle for the Cowl. He's just annoying. And I really like Tim.

So, don't get me wrong, it's a good series, but I really hate reading it (but I do anyway).

So, Batman and Robin #3 is coming out soon and, yes, I'm going to buy it.

Recap and Review!: "Batman" and "Robin" are up against the Circus of Strange, which are pulling a Gotham-City-Psychopath move and attempting to kill them. There's this guy named Professor Pyg, and they have to defeat him too. But! There's this scarlet hooded person hanging around in the shadows in the upcoming issue. Funny, I swear there's been a red-hooded person in the Batman stories before...*cough*RedHood*cough

Plus, I hate the cover art for this one.

Can't Wait!

The Amazing Spider-Man #601 should be good.

It's come out on the 5th, as you should know.

I'm not usually into Spider Man, but it's going to have the return of Mary Jane and some pretty good art.

Plus, the only other thing I have to read is Blackest Night.

I have kinda missed Mary Jane for a while, even if she is a bit of a Mary Sue (and so is Superman in my opinion, but they keep writing stories about him...why not Mary Jane?).

Blackest Night #2

Definitely better than the first issue.

Bleez (the vampiric Red Lantern) got a spotlight in this one and it was very entertaining. She was a princess and nice person that was changed when she was captured by the Sinestro Corps and tortured at their hands.

It was actually kind of depressing.

I was most interested, though, in the story of Carol Ferris (Star Sapphire) as she was inducted back into the Star Sapphires. I haven't really read Green Lantern for a while, so the look back on her love life was nice. Great art, by the way. Much better than the last issue. Gene Ha and Pete Pantazis did a fabulous job (maybe not their best ever, but I thoroughly enjoyed it).

The finaly tale was about Blume, this kind of member of the Orange Lanterns (he eats the most prized posessions of worlds...).

The issue was a bit predictable, but all in all, better than issue #1. Keep up the good work!

P.s. Yes, there were some other stories and thing,s but Kiliwog has never interested me.
