Comics: The Good and the Bad

The Bad: Wolverine Origins #5

The problem with this series is that every issue's the same. It promises answers. All we get is a few hints, and it's been going on for five issues. The only real reason I still get this is that he's wearing the brown costume, but Dillion's simplistic art doesn't make even that worth the $2.99 this issue costs. Cap also seems uncharacteristically hostile in general, and Cyclops would not scream like a girl. That being said, the page afterwards is the only worth a peek at. C-



The Good: Buckaroo Banzai #2


This 80s icon cut through red tape and licensing problems to save the world once more from the threat of red lectroids. I don't even know where to begin when it comes to describing the plot and that's part of the beauty. The only problem I have is the sudden appearance of Happy Weiner, but the art's steady and overall pretty impressive. It may not be for everyone, but it's definately something good you're not reading. B+
