I already talked about Star Wars last week since I got to flip through it. Now that I looked over Star Wars again, there were some pages (the first few) that were beautiful and very well done to make it realistic, but later I see art that's just okay.... Like when Luke goes to free the prisoners. I can understand that drawing consistently well is kind of difficult, but your name is in the front of the book. You should take pride in the pages you draw and try to make each page like the opening page.
Other than that, I'm getting my hands on this beauty! Greg Horn did the above cover art. He does so well with his art. I have at least five of his prints in my living room right now. I need more of his newer Psylocke prints though! Anyway, this is a GameStop variant. I recently bought an Xbox One. Those points allowed me to get this bad boy! If you like Star Wars and games, this comic is only 8000 points! They also have a few All New Captain America variants and a few others, one of them is non-marvel/DC. I just can't remember it at this time. I feel like after this cover, I need to check out the GameStop rewards more often!
The force is with you, my friends.
But if Obi Wan tells you to run, you better freakin' run!
Also, I got all three pins. So I have no care in the world! Yay!
Grayson also came out this week (yay)! After this issue I would like reinforcements to aid my boy wonder. I'm still impatient on knowing what Spyral is. Though, after this comic it seems like there is something behind Spyral, something more Brother Eye sounding... Brother Spyder? No, just Spyder probably. Spyder is capable of doing some mind-boggling things. And Minos might just be a front as well. They gave me sympathy for this creepy mysterious person! Damnit Seely and King.
Also, I can't believe we are only on issue six of Grayson. I guess I'm just getting used to the fact of a former caped crusader turned super spy. People ask me in the shop all the time, what I think of Nightwing going Grayson, and at first I was mad. I have always been in love with Nightwing, and it felt like my world was going crazy when I found out he won't be NIGHTWING anymore. I blame Dan Didio. But, I felt like this is something DC always wanted to do. They re-made Nightwing and he just gets beat by everything coming at him, then they reveal that he is supposed to be a Talon. Now, as a spy he has to be more careful with his life, and use all the skills that he learned from being in the circus, to being robin, and being Nightwing to take down a whole new kind of bad guy.
It's also kind of refreshing, because he isn't in the same place all the time. It isn't Bludhaven or Gotham, he can be anywhere in the world, so they can do so much with him now! I just also like how he is trying to accept his new role in life, but he is still trying to stay himself. So, I love Grayson.
Also, Grayson's first issue made 62 of the top unit sales on Diamond Comics of 2014. Crazy! Star lord made 67! You know who made first? Amazing Spider-Man with his comeback issue! Kind of expected, most of the list was influenced by people who like the movie and show... Let's be real here. Batman's issues made the list multiple times. We can already guess what will be the top sales of 2015. I bet top three is Star Wars 1, Darth Vader 2, and Leia at number 3. Unless they make a boba feet comic, he might take the number 2 spot. I should make a raffle....
Last, but not least (three comic this week, CJ? Yeah!), I honestly haven't been keeping up with Injustice because it turned bi-monthly, but I read this one. It's kind of sad. It makes me think, this is what Superman thinks about all the time... If you don't read injustice, you need to pick up a graphic novel now or something. Injustice has yet to disappoint me.
This comic basically is Superman's dream after he gets knocked out (by I don't know what because I didn't read the last issue... He dreams of a world where Lois somehow survives the WAILING and the "space adventure" with the baby being allowed to be born and live as a halfling. There's something your dream is missing Superman, reality! Lois wouldn't become president, and Wonder Woman and batman? I guess... Well I'm sure someone ships it. Kind of makes Wonder Woman like a poor replacement for Lois in the end. Also, Lex Luthor would try to use the daughters DNA to try to finally make another clone.
Tis only a dream, and it makes Supermans life seem sad. Not only sad, like boo-how sad. Kind of sad that either way he thinks he can control the world, just, in the dream, through his wife. If that's not sad, I don't know what is.
