Book of the Week 6/27/07 Sinestro Corps #1

Written by Geoff Johns
Art by Ethan Van Sciver

Unlike last week where big events were unfolding in almost every book, this week seemed a little lackluster to me. Sure, amazons were attacking, x-men were bickering, and monitors were still giving me a history lesson.


However, about a month ago I mentioned big things were in store for the green lantern corps. and this week is where it begins. The sinestro corps is now assembled and launches its attack on the green lanterns. Ethan Van Sciver's art is spectacular and really plays with the light and dark visuals. It's easy to picture the rings are actually glowing on the page. Geoff Johns also shines here. Like he did in REBIRTH, this story ties current events in with the green lantern mythos, this time looking at Kyle Rayner's past, his time as a green lantern and the price he's paid for it. This leads Kyle to to a transformation that will have Kyle's fans up in arms.


As one of those fans, I don't believe this is the end of Kyle's story. He's just been taken off the side of the angels for the time being. Johns also makes great use of the green lantern villians. Sinestro, Parallax, and the Cyborg are all there...plus the escaped Superboy Prime and the revived Anti-Monitor. In darkest night indeed!

Book of the week 6/20/07 Captain America #27

Written by Ed Brubaker
Pencils and inks by Steve Epting and Mike Perkins
Coloring by Frank D'Armata
Lettering by Joe caramagna


This was a very big week from DC with a lot of surprises but I was left with mixed feelings about those books. Captain America 27 was the last book that I read and in one sentence I can sum up why it was chosen as the book of the week.

I'm OK with Steve Rogers death.

Before reading this issue I still found myself mourning over cap, heck I barely made it through Fallen Son: Spider-man this week without crying like a baby, but Brubaker truly does the impossible. He brings Bucky back to life (with a metal arm no less) and I am totally in love with the whole thing. I WANT BUCKY TO BE CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!! Brubaker is definitely teasing this but I can only hope that he follows through.


Epting and Perkins do an amazing job on this book but I have to say that the wild card on this team is Caramagna's coloring. You would expect that a Captain America book would be bright and full of red, white and blue but the tone of this book is really dark and Caramagna's coloring does a beautiful job of conveying this. I can say that this is the first time in my comic reading history that I have actually taken notice of the coloring and it's something to be commended.


I'm so glad this book is back on schedule and I can't wait to see what happens next. All I know is that Bucky Barnes now has cap's shield and it looks good on him.
