Since there are so many comics released, usually a great reviewer can’t always post those reviews. However, fret not the comic team behind all of the reviews, news, and features create a simple article that has out thoughts about comics that were released this week. For the week of 12/29/10 comics of DC Comics and Marvel release the last comics of 2010. Here is what came out and what I had to say about them. There might be a chance that I will create a full review for most of the comics listed below.
Action Comics #896 Pass
Paul Cornell continues to create all new original Lex Luthor adventures! When Vandal Savage puts a threat on Lex’s life, he can’t beat the immortal caveman by himself so he calls in the bounty hunter team, the Secret Six! Will the Secret Six be enough to stop Vandal Savage, or will everyone die before Vandal gets what he wants? Written by Paul Cornell and artwork by Pete Woods. If you want to check out the current Action Comics series, issue 896 isn’t a good place to jump on. Pick up some of the previous issues.

It means you should’ve thought of never going into an old apartment without taking all of your anti-toxin antidotes! Don’t forget about the second part of Commissioner Gordon’s story as he finds out that his son (whom as I am shocked about) is behind (probably) everything!
