Iron Man 2 review and comic pickups of the week

Song of the week Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek"

Went and saw Iron man 2 this last week and have to say i really enjoyed it. A lot of reviewers have been downplaying it saying its not good and/or not as good as the first, and i disagree. The movie itself is a different beast it doesn't have the same WOW factor of the first and by that i mean when you went to see the original you weren't expecting to see a really great movie with really great acting in it. This time around you get the same good acting with a slightly less good story. Though i must say i really enjoyed the character development and the introduction of characters were well done. I do wish they wouldn't have said that the Black widow was in it at all, would have made her later appearances alot more enjoyable. overall i think id give it a 9/10 definitely a must see for action fans as well as comics fans.

All right my pull list of the week was, btw this was one of the best weeks in a long while.

Prince of Power #1- Amadeus Cho is the new CEO of the Olympus group and using all his resources to find his best bud Herc.-pickup
Siege #4- End of the Siege epic what will happen to our heroes with the sentry/void out of control.-pickup
The Sentry: Fallen Sun- Can't say much about this comic its the epilogue to the whole Siege storyline.- if you like the sentry pick it up
The Return of Bruce Wayne #1- Grant Morrison's Grand return of Bruce Wayne- pickup
New Mutants #13- The cross x-comics second coming storyline continues- pickup
War of the Supermen #2- Superman at his best, this whole storyline has gotten me into this character, who i thought was boring due to his overabundance of powers. It really goes the distance- pickup
Justice League: Generation Lost #1- Everyone's after Maxwell Lord after his resurrection in Blackest Night.- pickup
The Flash #2- Continuing the wanted storyline which looks to be good the rogues from the future, which are time cops, are after Barry for killing one of there members. The murder itself hasn't happened yet but the craziness ensues.- pickup

Overall one of the best weeks of the year finishing some epic stories, siege, and starting new ones , The return of Bruce Wayne. And i can't wait to see where certain personal favorites go.

Until later,
Stay Frosty Heroes
