Return of Haiku Reviews!

So, yes, I've been pretty remiss in a lot of bloggy things, I know. Sorry. My "14 Comic Book Couples I Love" remains only 98% complete for nearly a year now, I have a part two of Excalibur Cocktails to complete (because The Red Monk called me out. Blogless tomato-growin' punk.) and Haiku Reviews haven't existed in a dog's age. Well, guess what? I'm gonna finish up my nerdy ode to Scott Summers and Emma Frost just in time for the next VD and, just like The Gargoyles, it's time for my abuse of Japanese poetry to LIVE AGAIN!*
*Dear Lord, I am a nerd.

There are SPOILERS here
Seventeen syllables worth
. . . so not that many.



Secret Invasion: Dark Reign #1 - F
by Brian Michael Bendis, Alex Maleev, Dean White


Define "ludicrous" -
Osborn bossing around Doom?
My eyes, how they roll.

BONUS HAIKU
:

Whedon and Ellis?
They can write Emma Frost well
Bendis? "Yeah, okay."

Ultimates Vol. 3 - F
by Jeph Loeb, Joe Madureira & Christian Lichtner


Around issue three
I realized this wasn't
Meant to be funny.


Incredible Hercules #124 - A
by Fred Van Lente & Greg Pak, Clayton Henry

Move aside, Ayn Rand -
"Atlas Got Rochambeaued"
Is way more awesome.

Secret Six #5 - A
by Gail Simone, Nicola Scott & Doug Hazlewood


Bane takes licks from bricks
While Tarantula high kicks
Last page reveal? Squicks.

Hey, better late then never. Though when is VD? Not "very distant" I hope :)

VD is my snarky nickname for Valentine's Day, February 14th. And thank you for your patience! :)
