Secret Avengers #21.1
I wouldn't have read this book if Remender were not the writer, but now I look
forward to future issues.
Aquaman #5
A quick read that bridges the last story arc to the next. Appears that we're in
for a fun ride.
Foster #1 by Brian Buccellato
This book felt like a movie or television show. Solid writing and a shocking ending. Coloring truly enhances the art.
This is the sketch and coloring that Brian Buccellato did on the back of Foster #1 for me yesterday while I picked up my comic books at The Comic Bug. Get yout own copy by visiting Brian's webiste at http://www.brianbooch.com/dog-year-store/

20 Word Comic Reviews for December 31st
In an age where time is tight and concise writing is important, I offer my 20 Word Reviews of comic books.
Note: I had a remaining credit at my local comic shop from buying all of the first issues of The New 52 that needed to be spent before the end of December. So rather than just spend the money on random DC Comics, I decided to pick up issues 2, 3, and 4 of a series that showed promise in the first issue. After heavy deliberation, I chose to pick-up a Guy Gardner book because of the nostalgia factor from his time in the Giffen and DeMatteis scribed Justice League America. As a result, today we have a four issue review extravaganza of Green Lantern Corps.
Green Lantern Corps #1
I enjoyed finding out about the power of the rings as well as the genuine friendship between Guy and John.
Green Lantern Corps #2
Though I know nothing about each of the characters, I felt like they were well developed and everyone seemed necessary.
Green Lantern Corps #3
I’m a sucker for moments when “the Calvary” comes in to save the team so this issue was a winner.
Green Lantern Corps #4
The Martian Manhunter and Guy Gardner team up made me smile – despite their seemingly non-existent history in the New DCU.

Azzarello created an issue with all the elements of a Greek tragedy – sadness, redemption, loss, retribution, scheming, regret, and loss.
Uncanny X-Force #19
Remender tied up the Dark Angel saga and established some of the new dynamics for the various X-Men teams.
