Brief Comic Updates.

I’ve really been behind my comic book reading as of late, (anywhere from 2-4 weeks per book title), but as a brief highlight I can give you my take in the following highlights:

Darkest Night cross overs happening with the Green Lantern family of books over at DC is much better than Final Crisis and Countdown combined.  [...]

The return of Captain America

Here is a story I copied from CNN:
NEW YORK (CNN) — Perhaps he should be called Captain Phoenix?
Rising from the dead after being killed off over two years ago, Captain America is being resurrected by Marvel Comics.
Though the circumstances of his return are being closely shielded, the star-spangled superhero returns July 1 in a five-comic-book [...]
