Comic reviews - Thor #2, The Gunslinger Born #7, World War Hulk #3

Gunslinger Born #7

This is it! The final comic in the seven part Gunslinger Born series. Each issue so far has been amazing... probably the best Marvel has had to offer in the past couple of years. The last issue ends with a bang with the final and epic battle. The writing feels just like a Dark Tower book, despite the fact that it's not written by Stephen King. The artwork is just how I imagined it to look like while I read the book years ago. While it was sad to see the series come to an end, it's great to see that they're going to start a new Dark Tower comic series in February 2008!

Score: 10/10

World War Hulk #3

Recently this five part series has been getting a criticism. While this issue is a pretty good book, I just felt like I've seen the exact same battles before - All Hulk does is smash, smash, smash. Despite this, they somehow manage to jam a whole bunch of text in there, which is pretty enjoyable. It was great to see Doctor Strange, and was quite nail biting once he encountered the Hulk. Also revealed is that Sentry will probably be fighting Hulk... This is something I'm in no way excited for, unless Hulk rips right through the hated hero... man thad't be cool...

Overall, if you're somehow able to find the issue, then get it. It's longer than most of comics out right now, though the down side of this is it costs a buck more as well. The art may not wow you at all, though the writing is pretty good...

Score: 8/10

Thor #2

The last issue, while good, seemed to be quite short for a debuting issue, and beyond that it had very little dialogue. While this issue seems to be a little longer, the text issue is still here. Thankfully, they have a good writer, though I just couldn't help but notice that I was zooming through the issue. The art is some of the best Marvel has to offer right now, and while the story may seem to go a little slow, it's still pretty good.

Score: 8/10
