G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305

The two big reveals to come out of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305 is that Serpentor Khan has already double-crossed Revanche and that the Zartan who  Destro and the Baroness have been talking with is not the real Zartan. The combination of the mutated Cobra faction and Revanche makes for a formidable force. The question of how the Joes would take them down seems to have answered itself with the new Serpentor’s actions taking an important step for them which will no doubt lead to the two factions turning on each other and likely their defeat.

Holmes & Houdini #3

The three-issue mini-series concludes with Erica Houdini and Spencer Holmes teaming up to stop the dangerous, but completely inept, Nolen who is doing pretty good at ruining his own plans by losing control of the artifact and flooding the world long before the women (dressed in questionable attire) reach him.

Ultimate Spider-Man #3

My favorite moments of Ultimate Spider-Man #3 center around the interactions between Peter Parker and his daughter May who is the only one who knows her father’s secret. We get the pair working to keep the secret from Mary Jane and then May helping her father find the perfect look for this universe’s Spider-Man. We also get a fun little character beat with Peter discussing Spider-Man with Ben and Jonah, sticking up for the city’s new hero.

Wonder Woman #7

I often lament the lack of one-off super-hero stories. Give me a full story in a single issue and I’m happy. Everything these days gets geared to an arc to be easily bound together as a trade paperback with most of those stories, unfortunately, being often stretched beyond its limits. So I celebrate Wonder Woman giving us a fun little one-issue story of Wonder Woman and Superman shopping at a galactic mall for a birthday present for Batman. Sure, it’s it he most bizarre and illogical place ever (in the middle of Wonder Woman’s battle against Sovereign which is mostly ignored), but it’s still a fun read.
