Winter Soldier #4

/ / Comics

winter-soldier-4-coverAfter convincing Victor von Doom that he’s not there to assassinate the Latverian dictator, Bucky and Doom set off the the United Nations where Lucia Von Bardas has unleashed her Doombot and one of the Soviet Super-Soldiers for part one of her nefarious plan.

Although the unlikely pair of Doctor Doom and the Winter Soldier are able to control the situation and the amount of damage the Doombot and Arkady are able to do at the UN, neither are happy to learn from the dying Soviet that this is only step one of Von Bardas’ revenge.

As Bucky and Doom shoot up the UN the Black Widow works to track down the Red Ghost’s and his machine gun totting, jetpack wearing, gorilla soldiers who (given the cover of next month’s cover) we should be seeing more of very soon. Worth a look.

Batman and Robin #8

/ / Comics

batman-and-robin-new-52-8-coverI really enjoyed the last issue of Batman and Robin but was put-off by the final panel which saw a tortured Damian kill Nobody in front of Batman. I was skeptical as to how this event would play out, but I have to admit Peter J. Tomasi gives us a thoughtful follow-up that includes a frank, and loving, conversation between estranged father and son that should lead to a fresh start for Batman and Robin.

The issues is definitely light on action but character is brought to the forefront as Batman and Damian lick their wounds and discuss Batman’s desire for deadly vengeance and his promise to his parents to never let that happen.

The issue doesn’t ignore Damian’s actions from last issue, but it also doesn’t condemn him for it (as I expected it to do, further driving a wedge between the two). Instead Bruce uses the opportunity as a lesson for his son to move both of them forward. By the end of the issue we’re given a Batman and Robin I really want to see more of, and that’s really all you can ask. Worth a look.
