New Comic Day February 23

The following comics/magazines are ones that I purchased today.
Here's a little review for each (from left to right, top to bottom):

Invincible #20



This is quite possibly my favorite comic to read every month. It's really too bad that Kirkman seems to like writing for Marvel more than spending time on Invincible. The comic is just too damn short! It could easily be two pages more each month. What it lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality. Invincible, although having the cliche' powers of flight and super strength, the situations he runs into are fresh and somewhat original. The similarity that comes to mind is of Spider-man. Both characters deal with the stresses of both being a super hero and maintaining some sort of real life. Peter with his job and Mark with school. Issue #20 introduces Mark to college and the readers to a new evil-scientist "mastermind". Mark's problems with his girlfriend also come to a head in this issue.

Strange #4



It's good to see that Marvel decided to give Dr. Strange a fresh look and develop his character a bit. Quite frankly he comes off as a prick and you scream to him in your head "Why are you like this??!!" However, by series end (#6) I'm sure he'll have learned his lesson and become the spooky, mysterious sorceror we all know and love.

Ultimate Nightmare #5



I don't really know why I bought this series other than that it was supposed to be "revolutionary" and "change the ultimate universe forever". After reading it though, it wasn't revolutionary and all that really happened was give a warning to the Ultimate Uni saying "Gal-ak-tus" was coming. Big deal in its own right, but was definately nothing special.

Y: The Last Man #31



I really, really want someone to make a movie or HBO series about this book. It reads like a movie already and I think the transition would be easy to do. There's a cool fight sequence between the ninja lady (Lucy Lui perhaps) and Agent 355 and it seems Hero is starting to redeem herself.

Wizard #162



Always a good read for whats current in the business with a dose of sarcastic whit thrown in for good measure. This month's issue is one of two, the other being a special movie based issue.
