House of M (2005) Issue 2

Scott and Emma are together hearing about Mary Jane on the radio.

Wonder Man is on talk shows.

Miss Marvel stops a crime done by Gambit.

Kitty is teaching about mutants.

Luke Cage. Dr. Strange

McCoy talks about Stark.

Storm exists.

Logan and Mystique dressed up as Jean Grey.

Logan and the House of Magnus are the final note as Logan is flying in the sky.

Overall, it's a good follow up to the previous issue. The two issues are so different from each other in a New Hope-Empire Strikes Back fashion. It sorta has a Batman: Animated Series dream world, It's a Wonderful Life fashion. It adds a bit of a curiosity as to what's going on which is the intent of the issue.

I felt like they could've done something more Alan Moore/Frank Miller-ish with the Mystique cosplaying thing.

Disney's Star Wars: Lando Issue 1 review

Really good.
Lando is a sexy scoundrel. Has sex with a woman, talks out of his way of getting assassinated by her.

He discusses with his number 1 on plotting to defeat the Emperor and whether they'd succeed.

The positives of Captain America: CIvil War, January 2017

I enjoyed the intro. The whole spy thing worked in the beginning, prior to them all lining up, which works visually but didn't quite hit the spy motif.
I still don't know why Scarlet Witch has an American accent, other than just to make Elizabeth Olsen's acting better.
Lizzie and Scarlet duping Vision prior to Hawkeye betraying was nonsense. No one's side makes any sense, and the more complicated they made it the more obvious they really didn't want to go into the interesting stuff of what made someone evil, like Bucky, Zemo, Black Panther, etc..
Spider-Man was introduced well, but his portion of the story has nothing to do with the Civil War aspect. Nothing does. Then again, Stanley Kubrick introduced portions of film that weren't connected. Same with Steven Spielberg with Indiana Jones.

Batman (2016) starts off quite lame and gave a bad impression of Rebirth to me

So two characters are introduced at the end of Issue 1. Gotham and Lady Gotham, two Superman-ish 80s Batman characters. They have super strength etc..

Batman doesn't trust em but Gordon wants the help, which is kinda overkill.

They're not written with much depth, but since John's wrote Superboy Prime in one week why not?

Teenage whiny people like Red Hood without the intellect in 2016's, although Lady Gotham's explanation of stuff was alright.

Too many Gotham puns on saving Gotham.

Frank Miller's Holy Terror review

I wonder if it was censored, because it wasn't as anti-Muslim as I hear his Batman comic got. Sure, it shows a stereotype, but there are type of people that were like that and even Frank Miller's Fixer character wasn't even a real pure hero anyway.

Flashpoint: Batman seems to be a great entry into the 52 multiverse

Thomas Wayne seems a bit more comic booky than in the Dini/Timmverse version, and a lot more is explored than sharing the spotlight with many in a 90 minute film. Really cool.
Also, unfortunately, this also makes the Joker Martha Wayne even more forced in the film, as it was obviously a lame attempt to snag fans from this series, even though it's minor and even distracting to Flash's story in Flashpoint. I definitely would've edited Martha Joker out.

Wayne seems more in tune with Gordon and uses his wealth a lot better than Bruce. Thomas is older and has more experience with the expenses.
