This Week in Comics
Another week has passe, and is another week where my budget with amenities is restrained due the economical crisis and my own personal one; but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to enjoy one of my few indulgences, comic books (yes, even if I am 25 years old I like comics). One of the interesting comics that appeared this week was the Third Chapter of Messiah War which at the same time wasn’t that interesting *spoiler* as Stryfer reached Hope, X-Force and Cable; and we could get a glimpse of Apocalypse appearing at the end; maybe that means Archangel is going to join the baddies again, but in the weird Marvel time-line he appeared on issue #508 of X-Men, but I guess we need to wait to see what happens because we know Marvel time line is almost as messy as D.C. time line.
The art of Messiah War chapter three is a perfect ten, we have to applaud Clayton Crain for bringing the photo realism with this comic, as many comic books don’t have this kind style where reality is tried to be emulated until the last consequence. The writing is really cool Craig Kyle and Christoper Yost make a great team in terms of story telling as not many writers can achieve the suspense as this team gives, or as Michael Bendis who created the event Secret Invasion technically by himself.
With Messiah War, we are going to see the last consequences of Secret Invasion and what role is going to be played by the so called Mutant Messiah.

So… this is the beginning of the end of the Initiative? it better be, as the story seems to be running out of fresh ideas and I don’t think this title is going to be missed by many people and it sounds a good idea to that issue 24 or 25 would be the last one, and the members of the initiative would be placed on new teams or in the limbo where they are not going to be killed or anything. After almost a year the secret of the cloning of MVP has been revealed, Norman Osbourne closed Camp Hammond so what else is left for the Initiative, is difficult to speculate what is going to happen with all these characters, we can assume that some of them as Ultra Girl is going with the New Warriors an maybe Trauma is going with the baddies (if that happens is going to be cool) but what can the fans do?, just wait.
On a side note, I don’t know what to expect with the Avengers, there are what? 1, 2, 3 and 4; four teams of Avengers, The Avenger, New Avengers, Dark Avengers and Avengers: The Initiative; Marvel needs to do something with so many titles of the Avengers, is getting ridiculous, but what is getting really ridiculous is that there is no freaking clue about the Scarlet Witch, the real one.
