FIRST LOOK: BRIGHTEST DAY #7 - Why "the 12" Came Back
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Brightest Day #3 Deadman vs. Anti-Monitor
Although, to date, Brightest Day has not been as exciting or as earth shattering as its predecessor the last three issue still have been a decent bi-monthly read.
The Source released a Brightest Day #3 preview (minor spoilers in pictures) and it's Deadman and the Anit-Monitor going toe-to-toe
Any appearance by the Anti-Monitor always makes Gfest happy. Enjoy the first few pages of Brightest Day #3.

Sneak a Peak at Green Lantern Corps #43
We also love Green Lantern Corps, except for Guy Gardner, who is such a whiny little biotch! With that said, Peter Tomasi 
(one of the best new writers in comics) with his wonderful prose helped me manage my anger towards Guy Gardner and allowed me to enjoy reading this title. 
begins and Tony Bedard steps in as the book’s regular writer, joined by artist Ardian Syaf, it will continue to pacify me. The first story arc is titled “Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns,” Here is a page from their first issue. With? Drum roll please, Guy Freakin' Gardner. Son of a Biotch!

GFEST Must Buy Comic Books of the Week
Green Lantern Corps #47
As Brightest Day begins, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner, along with the rest of the Green Lantern Corps, attempt to pick up the pieces from the horrific events of Blackest Night and take a long hard look at how the Corps is run now that major revelations have come to light. Who survived (and what the Alpha Lanterns have in store for them) is only one of the many new questions that the Green Lanterns will have to answer on the difficult and dangerous road ahead.

Truth be told, I have never been a Green Lantern Corps fan. Mainly because there are too damn many of them to keep track of as you read the series. Well that's not entirely true, I HATE GUY GARDNER! The only time I like Guy Gardner is when Batman is kicking his ass. With all the Green (now Orange, Blue, Indigo, Purple, Red, Yellow, Black, White) Lanterns, we could have easily killed him off and substituted anyone in his place. With that said, Peter Tomasi's run and the Blackest Night mega-event got me hooked on this title. I am hopeful that Guy Gardner won't ruin it for me.
Jack Of Fables #45
Jack Frost has finally come face-to-face with the Empyrean, but it's clear that someone somewhere along the way has been lying about what this is all about. In fact, it's beginning to seem as if everyone everywhere along the way has been lying.

The one (maybe two) loyal follower(s) of this post, know that I LOVE Fables. I also LOVE Jack of Fables. I was a little concerned when Bill Wilingham and Matt Sturges removed the main character Jack Horner from this book and inserted his son Jack Frost as the lead character. And like Megan Fox in any movie, it's still damn good! This story has been along-time building and mow Jack's son finally gets his shot at the giant.
JLA Vol. 03 Deluxe Edition HC
The JLA's very first foe, Starro the Conqueror, returns in this new Deluxe hardcover!
Gfest View
I am the first to admit that Grant Morrison can be the most frustrating S.O.B. in comics today. He dupes you in with beautiful, eloquent, timeless stories such as All Star Superman or his run on the JLA. Then as in Final Crisis, he will lead you on, teasing you, telling you what you want to hear, just as the Sirens in Homer's Odyssey did to Odysseus's crew. Then, at the moment you are about to succumb to his beautiful prose, the final issue arrives and feeds on your heart and liquefies your brain. With that being said, when the Scottish Alan Moore is on and in-sync, he's the best of the best. And, his run on JLA is fabulous.
Locke & Key Crown Of Shadows #5
Chapter 5: Light of Day. Four words: 'Giants hitting each other.' Don't miss the most smash-tastic fight issue of the year!
Gfest View
Locke & Key has consistently been one of the best books on the market since it's inception nearly two years ago. Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez have proven themselves to be at the top of the comic book industry. Each issue is better than the last. It's one of the those series that you can read again and again.

Bruce Wayne Still Gettin "F'd in the A" by DC Comics
At the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo in Chicago this weekend, the DC Universe Panel gave a glimpse into the future of DCU. One would think coming off Blackest Night the strongest series since the original Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC would be headed in the right direction. Think again!
Everyone's favorite "one-hit Starman wonder," James Robinson is going to continue making us suffer through two series. At the C2E2, Robinson discussed the "War of the Superman," which will replace the regular Superman books in May and feature a war that takes exactly 100 minutes to fight. Wow, since the current Superman books have been so fantastic this story should be riveting!
