Last night, I picked up this weeks BATTLE FOR THE COWL tie-ins. Normally I wouldn’t but since BATTLE FOR THE COWL is a short arc, it wouldn’t hurt to get the ‘bigger picture’ with the tie-ins. Serena picked up volume 4 of FABLES. She says despite the art, the stories are very well written. She isn’t lying. She finished volume 4 in one sitting, last night. I’m a bit behind. I managed to finish reading volume 2 and tonight I hope to start volume 3 before I go to bed. The art isn’t terribly bad, but considering the subject matter, you’d think the art would be more epically drawn. The covers of the comics are awesome and like I said earlier, both Serena and I wish the interiors were done by the same artist as the covers, James Jean.

The Story: “MAGNUM OPUS,” PART 2 OF 4 — CROSSOVER WITH DEADPOOL
Everyone’s favorite Merc with a Mouth has the Thunderbolts in his crosshairs – but don’t expect this murderer’s row of
butt-kickers to lay down! The nastiest fight of ’09 has begun, and you’ve got the front row seat for all the ultra violence that
Andy Diggle (DARK REIGN: HAWKEYE) and red-hot artist Bong Dazo can dish up!

Even though I hate it when my normal titles crossover with titles I normally don’t pick up, I’m rather pumped to see Deadpool take on The Thunderbolts. Who wouldn’t be pumped to see this brawl? C’mon IT’S DEADPOOL, the real one, NOT that crap you’ll see in the upcoming Wolverine movie, and definitely NOT Ryan Reynolds.
