Comic Three-In-One

Supreme Power: Hyperion

I dunno, I guess you can just imagine that the alternate future presented here where Hyperion has taken over Earth represents the conclusion of the Supreme Power series, since it never actually gets resolved.

RATING: 62%


Ultimate X-Men Vol. 8: New Mutants

Boring, endless Bendis-talk, although there is a great single issue here where Logan is sent to deal with a kid whose powers are just to kill everybody around him accidentally.

RATING: 67%


Sandman Vol. VI: Fables & Reflections

A collection of standalone issues, with the retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice being the strongest. I guess only half of my Sandman trades move the story forward, but whatevs, it's still great writing.

RATING: 71%

New Mutants: Back To School

I guess I remembered this starting off a lot stronger, but boy does this first storyline suck. Basically this book was focusing on a bunch of new students who were recruited by old members of the New Mutants to come to Xavier's school. The writing is fine, but for these first six issues it often seems as though it's repeating itself (but I'm not a mutant! Oh I guess I am. I'll come with you.), and the art is fucking terrible. Also, I think I read on Cracked a few weeks ago about how whenever you put an American Indian into a comic, they always have to be vaguely mystical and have a feather in their hair, and this one is no exception, so thanks you racists at Marvel.
