Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #4
A nice little comic. Digging the return of Bart. A character makes a return from the grave, that was handled well. In a way, I wish that Gary Frank drew this instead of George Perez. Then again, Perez is a master at drawing massive fight scenes. Maybe, I'm thinking too much about the Legion tale in Action Comics too much. This was worth the wait.
8* out of 10*
RASL #4
Another comic that was worth the wait. Jeff Smith delivers a solid performance. The back story, on the dimension hopping front, was interesting. July can't come soon enough.
8.1* out of 10*
Thunderbolts #131
The worst issue out of Andy Diggle's run on Thunderbolts, so far. That doesn't meant that this comic sucked, though. It just means that I expected a bit more, from it. The execution of the ending seemed off to me. Hopefully, the next issue will be back to the level of quality that I expect out of this comic.
7.7* out of 10*
Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk #5
3 for 3 this week, on the delayed comic front. Probably, the most entertaining issue issue of this mini series since issue #2 came out a while back. The situations that are laced within this comic are pretty cool and the character work was solid.
8* out of 10*
Uncanny X-Men #509
That was interesting. Fraction did a good job, on the writing front, but it seemed a little off. I can't put my finger on it. Greg Land...well...delivers what you'd expect. I found it a little odd that Lady Deathstrike was sticking her tongue out while she stabbed the crap out of Wolverine. Still interested in how things will turn out.

Side Dishes on the House!
New Avengers #48-#50
I've sworn off buying $3.99 comics, that are only 32 pages(with ads). Why am I reviewing this then? Thanks to my local library, I was able to read some New Avengers. Now, the writing is typical Bendis. There are some nice moments inside these three issues, but everything feels a little stale. The art is simply okay, though there is some great art in issue #50. Not worth the $1 price hike.
7.4* out of 10*
Patsy Walker: Hellcat #4
An odd, but entertaining issue. David LaFuente's art was sharp. Nothing more to say about this comic, except that this was some wild stuff.
7.6* out of 10*
Tiny Titans #14
I should catch up with this comic. The various interactions between the Tiny Titans were great. This comic reeks of clean, cute fun. Oh..and the art was great, as always.
8* out of 10*
That's it folks. I hope that you enjoyed my Side Dishes series. Check back in a few months though, for a new project that's in the works.
