So far, the week has gone pretty good. I went by the college to see if I could set up an appointment with one of the job placement workers, but was handed a card instead. That means I must either call him or send him an e-mail to set up my appointment. Something I will need to think about this evening...
Infinite Crisis finally came out yesterday, and while I was enthralled by the intense action and drama amidst the pages, the majority of the book was defined in quite a good way by someone I know very well: "It was depressing as hell." After giving it some thought, I found myself agreeing entirely with the previously mentioned statement.
Young Justice #12: Heck's Angels Part I
Earlier this week, I went to the college, updated my resume, then had it printed out. I went by the comic book store nearby afterward and came across a number of good issues, this one being one of them. This was the first of a four-part saga that was a Young Justice/Supergirl crossover. This was a pretty good issue, that had humorous parts, such as Cissie telling Bart she loved him, only to ensure he would stop going so fast after he vibrated enough to keep his friends from being caught by some agents. (Completely wrong for Cissie to tell him something like that, but it did the trick.) The team had to face a guy who used winged monkeys to control others, but they ended up under his control near the end, which leads into Supergirl. Sadly, since it wasn't there, I wasn't able to pick up Supergirl #36, which is the second part of this four-part saga.
Young Justice #13: Heck's Angels Part III
Even though I wasn't able to see Supergirl #36, I still had a good idea of what was going on in this one, since it flows right along with Young Justice #12. In this one, there wasn't that much humor-only drama, and a fight scene or two. (Plus, Supergirl-Linda Danvers, since this was back in 1999-ended up getting a nose bleed after launching an attack on a possessed Young Justice, then she went after the chessmaster of this whole fiasco named Dante, who was working for someone else named, weirdly enough, Dis). Sure, there was humor-like Robin hitting Impulse on his head for a comment about credit cards-and Impulse running after the team's Supercycle tried attacking the possessed Impulse, but not much else.
Supergirl #37: Heck's Angels Part IV
The conclusion was, to put it lightly, stunning; I was on pins and needles for this book after reading the last two issues. This had nothing but action and drama, from start to finish. Young Justice ended up freed from the monkeys on their backs, they, along with Supergirl, saved the people that had been trapped below, and things ended on...a stunning note. Sure, it led to something else, called Day of Judgment, but at least I got the last part. Eventually, I may see if I can order the 2nd part of this saga.
Infinite Crisis #1 of 7
Pure action and drama right from the start. There was extreme tension between the World's Finest-Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman-while they were on the moon, even when they ended up fighting an old foe. Superboy, still in personal turmoil over his actions during the Teen Titans/Outsiders crossover back in May and June, had the choice on whether to join with the Titans again...he decided against it, however. Anything else involved the forces of good battling against the forces of evil, and so far...good is losing terribly. Probably a major reason why the words "depressing as hell" fit so well.
The quote for this evening comes from Infinite Crisis-something Batman said that starts out neat, but ends on a more...disturbing note.
"Everyone looks up to you. They listen to you. But they need to be inspired. And let's face it, 'Superman...' The last time you really inspired anyone...was when you were dead." -The Batman, Infinite Crisis #1
