I didn’t review anything last week because nothing looked good. Found some this week though.
Captain America: Steve Rogers (2016) #10
http://marvel.com/comics/issue/57875/captain_america_steve_rogers_2016_10
Not my favorite book of the week, but still something I keep coming back to. This book is mostly a retelling of evil Captain America’s origin as it was rewritten by the Cosmic Cube and the unfolding of evil Captain America’s grand plan. It’s not an emotional book. It just lays out the series of events in order. I read it mostly because I want to see where it’s all going, which seems to be a big Marvel event that is coming down the road.
Score: 5/10
Civil War II: The Oath (2017) #1
http://marvel.com/comics/issue/60574/civil_war_ii_the_oath_2017_1
The only reason this book is worth mentioning is that the end of the book gives you a glimpse at evil Captain America’s end game. I probably wouldn’t buy the book. Just walk into your local comic book store and read the last few pages.
Score: 3/10
Doctor Strange (2015) #16
http://marvel.com/comics/issue/55430/doctor_strange_2015_16
Bachalo’s art. That’s the main reason to buy this book. The story is fine, I just don’t like that Doctor Strange has become a mystical Tony Stark. Doctor Strange used to be a more wise, mysterious character. Now her cracks jokes and reminds me more of the Doctor Strange in the movies. A big change to attract a more mainstream audience I guess.
Score: 6/10
Infamous Iron Man (2016) #4
http://marvel.com/comics/issue/61550/infamous_iron_man_2016_4
Likely my favorite book of the moment. I’ve seen Maleev’s art before and I’ve always enjoyed it. That doesn’t change here. It’s just fun to see this spin on Doctor Doom. Not much progression in this issue, but still all right.
Score: 6/10
Inhuman V. X-Men (2016) #3
http://marvel.com/comics/issue/61596/inhumans_vs_x-men_2016_3
Another fine issue. Worth the purchase if you’ve been following along.
Score: 6/10
Justice League v. Suicide Squad (2016) #6
Not a great book, but I can see the appeal if you’re interested in the Justice League or the Suicide Squad.
Score: 4.5/10
