Top 10 Objects In Comics

Here are some of the coolest objects in comics! No matter how odd, no matter how cool, and how unused it might be I’ve got information on what objects are the greatest in comics!

10. Kryptonite

Kryptonite first appeared in Superman #61 on December of 1949. It was introduced when Superman decided to go take a trip to his (now dead) home planet, Krypton. The world soon found out that Krypton could weaken or even kill Superman; The Prankster was the first human being to encounter Superman with Kryptonite. This is one of the most common DC Comics object; that has had 335 appearances. Lex Luthor found out the hard way that it could give him cancer. However, lets save this story for another day?

Detective Comics # 871 – Review

Scott Snyder and Jock make their debut into the world of Batman and man ‘o man is it good! Jock’s art is taken to a whole new level and Synder proves why he’s an up-and-coming talent.

 Allow me to spoil one thing about this book… its Dick Grayson, not Bruce. If you were expecting Bruce then you’re opening yourself up for disappointment which will ruin how good this book is. That being said the story opens with a young boy being bullied at a swimming pool. After a struggle he switches into a young Killer Croc and bites the bullies hand off.

Buy, Read, Pass – 12/2 Edition

Welcome again to another edition of Buy, Read, Pass. Not as big of a week as last week which gave me a chance to pick up some titles I’d missed the week before. Just to refresh you’re memory this is a review section that runs through everything I read from the previous week. Everything is given a simple rating of buy, read or pass which should be self explanatory, but then there’s skip. Skip is when an issue isn’t really worth picking up when it falls in the middle of a storyline.

THUNDER Agents # 1 – Review

T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents has a very long history, but has finally come to roost at DC Comics. Don’t let the superheroes on the cover fool you; they aren’t the stars of the book… yet. No instead the stars are the UN agency that’s in charge of Thunder. It follows the people that deal with the red tape and have to write the reports when a mission goes horribly array.

The story begins with one of those missions. Thunder is made of members that all have a codename/job title on the team. Raven has been abducted by Spider – – The evil organization that looks a lot like Hydra or Cobra – – The rest of the team has been sent to rescue him while they send in an undercover agent to bring Raven to the extraction point. Unfortunately for Lightning and Dynamo they’ve been lead into a trap that will cost them their lives.
