Let’s go ahead and dish out The Revolution’s weekly awards.
The nominees for the Che for the best read of the week:
All Star Superman #10
Teen Titans #57
The Winner: Teen Titans #57
This week was a solid week dominated by reads that were average to slightly better than average. Not too many titles this week were worth a nomination for the Che. All Star Superman #10 was another excellent read. Morrison continues to deliver pure magic on this title. I love the wonderful blend of silver age style plots melded with modern day style story telling. I am not a big Superman fan, but this title is an absolute joy to read.
However, I had to give the Che for the best read of the week to Teen Titans #57. It is hard to beat an issue that serves up tons of pure Ravager goodness.
And now the nominees for the Sequential Methadone Award for the worst read of the week:
Countdown to Final Crisis #5
New Avengers #39
The Winner: New Avengers #39
Countdown to Final Crisis #5 was another disappointing read. I had to endure through another issue told in the passive journal entry style with no dialogue balloons. I then had to suffer through watching Triplicate Girl get killed off by being eaten by rats. Honestly, this title can’t get any worse, can it? I’m so happy that I only have to put up with another four issues of this title.
However, I had to give the Sequential Methadone Award of the week to New Avengers #39. This issue was nothing but fluff as Bendis wasted time before Secret Invasion starts.
So congrats to Teen Titans #57 for winning the Che for the week and congrats to New Avengers #39 for winning the Sequential Methadone Award for the week.
