This Week's Comics - 25/1/12

This week I have another steady 4 comics, those being Superman #5, Teen Titans #5, Alpha Flight #8 and X-Men Legacy #261. Out of these I am definitely most looking forward Alpha Flight, this being the final issue to a series I completely adore. I'm both so excited and so sad for this issue to come out, excited because of how much I love this series and the characters and sad because after this there will be no more. I am scared that how much I've built this series up in my head will just lead to disappointment if it doesn't end the way I want it to, but I'll still be happy because I love the story and the characters and the art always makes it enjoyable to read. Teen Titans so far has been fun to read and this issue promises to be fun and action packed with a battle between the newly-formed Teen Titans and Superboy. I am looking forward to seeing a few characters that are tugging on my nerves with their egocentric arrogance get knocked down a peg or two when Superboy kicks their arses. Superman so far hasn't been the best series I've read in The New 52, each issue within itself has great writing and the art has really highlighted the elemental creatures that have been attacking Superman. However, the overall story has been intriguing but confusing and rather stagnant. I'm interested in seeing where this story goes, but since its taking so long to get there I'm kind of loosing interest. The end of the last issue gave some hope with the creatures coming together and beginning to reveal their origin to Superman, lets just hope it continues to move forward. X-Men Legacy is the issue I'm least looking forward to this week, and the series is actually pretty close to being dropped. I've only read three issues so far and am already disappointed with the characters who I saw great potential in and feel its just to similar to Wolverine and the X-Men to justify me buying both series. I'm giving this series another go for this issue but if it doesn't do anymore for me than the last lot have then I'll only be getting this comic if there's a specific storyline I think looks interesting.
