This week in comics

52: After last week great issue, anything DC put out this week will be a comedown. It was worse than that, Week 45 was a letdown. Black Adam went postal, invade another country and kill millions of people just to find Death, the sole Horseman that live past last week's issue. In other countries, the Chinese Great Ten, Checkmate and the Americans Suicide Squad all prepare to move againest him. Yes, this is a set-up issue. Which was disappointing! After Week 44, the series was hot, hot, hot. DC should have kept moving the series forward, not have Black Adam tear up a country which most people didn't even know existed in the DC world. He is a villian. YES, we know that already. It was as if there is a need in DC to show just how bad Black Adam is so that we can feel for the heroes that will show up later to take him down. Like I said, disappointing.

Civil War: Confession: A blah, blah, blah comic that show a tearful Iron Man talking to the body of Captain America. First off I want to say this; I have no problems with the ending of Civil War. Iron Man and the U.S government won; Fine, I have no problem with that. What I have problems with is the way it ended. Captain America, the man who was in Europe in WWII, the man who live through all the bombing of WWII, gave up because New York suffered too much damage due to the superheroes' fight. Does that sound right to anyone?
I have the entire first run of Powers so a issue with lots of talking is not a problem for me. However, that ending just sucked all the life out of the Civil War event. I just can't feel anything for Iron Man or even the dead Captain America. Just finish the damm thing already!
