Three books in my bag this week: Alice Never After #2 - I really enjoyed the first series and this one continues to be a worthwhile read. This issue finds Alice, as the new Queen of Hearts, dealing with the return of The Cheshire Cat to Wonderland as well as a mysterious ailment, while in the real world, both her father and sister make visits to her former tormentors, the former to protect himself and the latter to see if Alice can be restored mentally to her former state. Incredible Hulk #3 - This was a fair letdown after last issue, as it was light on story and plot development, while being BIG on mindless fighting. Hulk takes over for Banner and picks up a new companion who is given some specific rules to follow if she wants to keep her place as the Jade Giant’s bestie. Not bad, but not all that good either. Moon Knight Annual #1 - This ties into something called “Contest of Chaos”, which revolves around a reborn younger and hot version of Agatha Harkness; I knew nothing about this crossover event coming in, and I know marginally more now. My assessment is that a good tree lost its life to print this meaningless steaming turd of a book. Absolutely pointless and a waste of my money. yeah, it seems the sole purpose is to make Wandavision Agatha be in the comic universe, which is unneeded and far too late. I would have skipped it, but it has the guy from Tiger Division(tae..something) fighting him.. that was so random I thought I'd see how that could possibly happen I had no idea who he was. Korean Superman in the Marvel U? |

He was the main character in Tiger Divison.. it was a mini series that came out a few months back with a team of Korean heroes. It wasn't revolutionary or anything, but very well done superhero fare. It was nice to see they're not completely forgotten.
He's not an alien or anything.. street kid that burgled a high tech lab and ended up with superpowers.

So I picked up Order and Outrage, new Starlin, worth a look. This is the last issue, and it took a turn... not really sure about the plot anymore, but this page sure made me smile.  |

I get the caricatures of Trump and McConnell but I have literally no idea what's going on there.

To be honest, I'm not sure either... the main character walking into the room ended up being some sort of assassin.. it was kinda a mess.. I just enjoyed the splash. Besides the obvious Trump and McConnell.. pretty sure the blonde alien is meant to be Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the one next to McConnell is Mike McCarthy. I suspect the the Supreme court is there as well (though not quite as accurate). It may well be the whole room and I'm just missing a couple.
