A one-man conchairto works if you’re targeting regular dudes, but if you’re trying to swat the Bat?
I’ve said a lot about Jeff Parker and how he rocks my face every month with X-Men: First Class. With the title’s most recent issue, I just realized that there’s one more reason why I love it: Colleen Coover. The All-Angel issue features a backup drawn by Ms. Coover and I can say that it’s the best XFC Coover backup so far. The two-page Angel story just melted my heart with its cuteness. Just look at that cute little mutant!
Awww. Widdle Warren bothered by the wings on his back? Awww.
Ahem. Next time on Face Rockery: MANLY MACHO STUFF! YEAH! GRRR!
Yes, I just had to put the question mark in the title. Why, you ask? I don’t even know where to start. Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s first arc in the Fantastic Four book is just… how do I say this… stupid. Not really Hitch’s fault. I’m not a fan of his style, but I think the art is more than OK. My beef is with Millar. I mean, the story didn’t really pick up until the third issue, and on the fourth, he introduces Anti-Galactus out of nowhere.
With the focus of this done-in-one issue being on a dude called “Butterball”, you’d expect it to suck big time. But it doesn’t. That’s why I love this series. You’d expect one thing while turning the first few pages, and by the time you reach the last page, all your expectations are already out the door getting dirty under the rain.
The new Guardians of the Galaxy ongoing series has just launched a couple of weeks ago, and it was all I expected it to be. Chief among my hopes for the new series is the inclusion of Star-Lord’s crew from his mini-series. We have Groot, Mantis, and the most awesome talking raccoon in the history of all time and space, Rocket Raccoon! Trust me, my friends, this book’s a keeper. If you’re not thinking of reading this book, YOU’RE INSANE! Now let me give you 5 mind-blowing reasons to read it:
1. It has a raccoon with a machine gun. A MACHINE GUN!
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
