![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Weekly Rankings For 11/26/08 Here are this week’s comics ranked prior to reading them: 9. Secret Invasion X-Men #4 of 4 Here are the rankings after the first read through with a mini-review: 11:28:29 am, by ComicList Categories: Reviews, Geek Goggle Reviews, Ardden Comics ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Flash Gordon #3 Another solid installment in the Flash Gordon reboot. We get some new characters added to the mix and some interesting plots begin to hatch. The comic doesn’t waste any time establishing situations and pushing the character’s personalities into those situations, which creates a fast moving, but tension filled comic. It’s been a great read and things look like they will continue to accelerate in the coming issues. 07:39:08 am, by ComicList Categories: Image Comics, Reviews, Geek Goggle Reviews ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Walking Dead #55 The issue that marks the start of what will be Volume 10 (for those that are trade waiting) is an excellent opening issue. There are several pieces moving here and all get some solid page time. The issue is wrapped around the notion that the group is “on the road” but that’s only the setting. For the most part the issue is more character analysis and it throws in some potential symbolism about some of the newer characters. A terrific comic. ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Batman #681 RIP ends with this issue and it’s a tremendous ending. While not every single question is answered, the comic provides a meaty story that leaves a lot of threads open for other stories to pick up. The comic provides iconic type images using a wide array of characters to make sure that the larger bat-verse gets their faces shown in a light that their fans can appreciate. The story retains classic characterizations of the main, older characters and leaves the newer characters with an established status quo to be revisited some other time. This is one of the best comics I’ve read this year. I can even recommend this to someone with a passing interest in Batman who is not following this arc. This should not be missed. 08:02:18 pm, by ComicList Categories: Marvel Comics, Reviews, Geek Goggle Reviews ![]() Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Uncanny X-Men #504 This issue has a couple of threads starting out here. It doesn’t make for a terribly exciting issue, but it does make for a decent read. There isn’t much action, but there is some nice character interaction. I can’t say this issue is very memorable, but it served its purpose. I’m sure things will pick up from here with the foundation built in this issue.
