Amazing Spider-Man #50

Amazing Spider-Man #50

The oversized Amazing Spider-Man #50 gives us the return of the Green Goblin… again. Starting with the tease from the character who after this issue will be known as the Walking Brain, we get warnings for and about Peter Parker which leads to the discovery that Norman Osborn has lost himself to the Green Goblin once again. Is Spidey surprised? Are we? Hardly. In fact there are several panels where Spider-Man yells at the Goblin reiterating he never trusted Norman and all of this was inevitable. Nice art, though.

IF

IF is an uneven, if sometimes quite charming, family film centered around 12 year-old Bea (Cailey Fleming) who discovers imaginary friends are real while staying with her grandmother (Fiona Shaw) after her father (John Krasinski) is hospitalized in need of surgery. The imaginary world is shown to Bea through Cal (Ryan Reynolds) who is sort of the self-appointed agent for the imaginary friends (called “IFs” for short) attempting to unite those who have been forgotten with new children.

City Hunter

Certainly less wacky than the 1993 adaptation of the manga of the same name, but still very much over-the-top, the new City Hunter still plays up the womanizing of private investigator Ryo Saeba (Ryohei Suzuki) and his unlikely partnership with the younger sister (Misato Morita) of his dead partner (Masanobu Andô) who is determined to help him discover the reason behind her brother’s murder and the number of odd occurrences around the city which is traced back to a drug manufactured and tested in secret on the homeless including the cat girl and cosplayer (Asuka Hanamura) Ryo was hired to find.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #306

Despite his prominence on the cover, Snake Eyes doesn’t get a big role in G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #306. In fact we only get the Joe on a training course shooting some targets with an even shorter cameo from Scarlett. That’s indictive of the rest of the issue as well with jumps around quite a bit, almost like a checklist making sure to hit several plot points that may play off at a later date.
