Pool's Comics - October 2, 2008

DC
Batman #680 - The Black Glove has won, they have destroyed Batman from in every possable and now they are the first ones to witness Batman giving up his fight. The Joker is in this and may be his greatess apperaence ever, the plot s everywhere right now ut it is Grant Morrison.
Rating: 8/10.
Batman and The Outsiders #11 - Superman and a drunk Green Arrow are out trying to find the missing Batman while the Outsiders try to figure out if they are still a team. Very solid book, it takes place after Batman R.I.P. so it gives hints to what happened to Batman, Green Arrow is very entertaining in this issue.
Rating: 8/10.
Detective Comics #848 - Hush is trying to take out Batman once and for all and his first victim in this war is Batman's long time love, Catwoman. Very good issue, Hush is much better in this then in any other story in the past, Scarecrow makes an apperance. My major complaint is that this story feels more like Hush 2 the Batman R.I.P.
Rating: 9/10.
Nightwing #149 - Nightwing isn't having a very good night, right when he gets some free time on his hands 8 of Batman's greatest villians attack him and it doesn't look like Nightwing can get past this. Two-Face is very good in this issue but the end of this story is pretty dissappointing and again this is nothing like Batman R.I.P.
Rating: 7/10.

Marvel
Avengers: The Initiative #17 - The Skrulls are taking over Camp Hammond but they have to get through the Shadow Initiative first and 3-D Man and the rest of the Skrull Kill Krew are getting set to head to New York to get rid of all these damn Skrulls. Great story, great art, great comic. If you are picking up one Avengers book this is the one.
Rating: 9/10.
Captain Britain and MI:13 #5 - Secret Invasion is over and MI:13 is back to bussiness and that is greeting their newest member Blade. This has turned out to be the biggest surprise comic this year and with Blade getting into the mix itcan only get better.
Rating: 8/10.
March On Ultimatum Saga - This is a nice little comic that gives you all the info you need to know about the Ultimate Universe so everyone is ready for Ultimatum.
Rating: 10/10.
The New Avengers #45 - What happened to the Skrulls during House of M? Well you'll find out in this issue. Like always this is another really good Secret Invasion cross over and Avengers title.
Rating: 8/10.
Punisher War Journal #24 - The Skrulls are taking over and whos the only guy crazy enough to go out there and fight them, Frank Castle. This is a really good issue that moves the Punisher's story along and shows some more of Secret Invasion.
Rating: 9/10.
Thunderbolts #124 - Who are you gonna get to save Washington, D.C. from the Skrulls, thats right a bunch of psychos who would rather kill you then the Skrulls. This could be the best Secret Invasion cross over and best comic going right now.
Rating: 10/10.
X-Force #7 - X-Force has been through alot of shit lately and now it's time to heal the wounds but it's alittle hard when two team members want to kill each other and Wolverine is making more sense then Cyclops. Great issue, great series, best X book right now.
Rating: 9/10.
