Nothing really filling my rant box so I'll talk about comics.Had a normal sized pull this week (Around £10) the three major titles this included were Fallen Son: The death of Captain America, Mighty Avengers and Ultimates 13.The fallen SOn series has beena bit hit and miss, this issue wasn't bad, with the newly resurected Clint Barton offered a chance to be cap and running into Patriot and his namesake Hawkeye. Not a bad issue, but not great, in short it wasn't needed and added nothing aside from Tony Stark knows Clint barton is alive. Also the artist couldn't draw Iron man, he seemed square. Still not a bad issue but picking this up I'm wondering what is the point at times.Mighty Avengers has been teh better of teh 2 avengers titles around, its first major advantage is in Art as the artist on New Avengers is not to my taste and frequently I can't work out who is who and whats going on, compared to Cheesecake artist extrordinaire Frank Cho finally getting to sho that, not only does he draw great women, but he can also draw a really good comic. Add to this the story, somehow Ultron has taken over Tony Stark and made itself out of his extremis enhanced body. Now it is in teh form of a silvery naked Wasp knocking the newly formed Avengers for six. Only gripe is that I clearly missed when Hank and Jan (Yellowjacket and the Wasp) split. She's not taking his calls and he's off bonking Tigra, largely so that Frank Cho can draw Tigra, and good on him. At the moment though this is much better than New Avengers fight Ninjas again.Finally years ago, back in teh mists of time, I read Ultimates 12. I'd given up hope of ever seeing teh conclusion, passing all rumours taht it was done off as lies and worse, statistics. Suddely here it is, isue 13, with a big gatefold fight scene. A good wrap up issue where ultimately you learn 3 things.
1. Thor Kicks Ass, Verily
2. Ultimate Tony STark Rocks
3. Millar and Hitch are that good that I am drawn back in despite the delays.
