X-Force Special: Ain’t No Dog (2008) #1: Whose Hands Are Clean?
X-Force Special: Ain’t No Dog
There may not be much heart involved, but I’m guessing that’s not really what this story is getting at either, and that’s okay. Sometimes you just want to see Wolverine take out a whole group of fanatics in the most violent way possible while screaming “Jeezus I love this!”, and that’s exactly what X-Force Special: Ain’t No Dog #1 (Huston, Aaron, Palo, Dell’Edera) delivers.

After eight issues of tidbits of information placed at strategic points in the story, Planetary #9 (Ellis, Cassaday, Baron, Heisler) feels explosive thanks to it’s willingness to dig into the core of what this series is doing.

The Flash: Fastest Man Alive #3: Science Nerds
What’s a lighthearted superhero romp is derailed by woefully inconsistent art in Flash: Fastest Man Alive #3 (Simone, Henry, Maiolo). Probably not spectacular enough to lure new readers in, and too basic to be of much interest to seasoned vets: this comic lands frustratingly in the middle, resting in the limbo of comics you forget almost as soon as you’re done reading them.
