Three of the best comics I read this week. Normally, I would have not placed Batman on this list, but this week was tough money wise, so I will have to save Avengers #14 (which has been getting good reviews) for next week.
Uncanny X-Men # 538
Written by Keiron Gillen.
This issue concludes the Breaking Point story, and does so very well. Kitty Pride is back to normal and has a a sweet scene with Colllosus at the end. The issue mostly deals with Kruun attacking the X-Men and the action is good. The ending between the Breakworlders and what happens to them afterward makes sense and is fitting. A very good comic book.
4/5
RUSE #4
Written by Mark Waid
Art by Mirco Pierfederici
Ruse concludes its four issue mini-series here, and continues to be excelllently written and heaps of fun. The relati0onship between the two main characters Simon, and Emma is one of the best in comics. I've loved this series and cannot wait to see what they do with it in the near future. The art is good but could be a lot better and that's really my only niggle, becuase the story is fantasitc. Reccomended to anyone, particular mystery fans or those who enjoy a good Sherlock Holmes type story.
5/5
Batman #711
Written by Tony Daniel
A lot of people say that Mr Daniel's writing is poor, but for some reason I fail to see why. This issue continues the Two-Face story and is solid. Perhaps it isn't the best batman ever written, but it's by far not the worst. I enjoyed it personally and I'm beggining to feel bad about wanting to read the Snyder written Batman when it relauches in september, instead of sticking with Tony and reading Detective Comics. The only way to imrove it practise, so I for one am happy for Tony Daniel to keep writing and grow.
The story itself involves Two Face loosing his coin, the Riddler and Enigma engaging him in some yet to be revealed plot, Gilda Dent's return, Mario Falcone and leaves room for very little Batman.
Solid story, detent art. Nothing special but still worthwhile for bat-fans.
3/5
