Let's get this ball rollin'!


Agents of Atlas #3 - Another fun issue. It was fun to see the interaction between Osborn and the team, and the flash-backs are really fun as well. Overall a really fun title.

Amazing Spider-Man #590 - I really liked the idea of the Fantastic Four and Spidey teaming up just like old times. The universe they explore is fun, but the only thing that kinda irked me was the whole Unmasking Spider-Man...again! It doesn't have the shock-value like it did in Civil War, and now it's getting annoying having him unmask in all the different books again.

Astonishing Tales #3 - Wasn't the Spider-Woman story a Marvel Digital Exclusive? What's it doing here? Anyways, let's get some new fresh one-shots up in this bitch.

Avengers Invaders #9 - Sometimes it feels like this 12 issue series is NEVER going to end. I liked some of the stuff with the alternate future, but please, let's get a move-on and finish this series up.

Bang! Tango #3 - Meh. I think I might enjoy this series by reading the issues back-to-back. Also, this issue seemed a lot more wordy. But still, in Joe Kelly we trust.

Black Panther #3 - Next stop, Panther God! I'd really like to see this new Black Panther in action before I deem her worthy for the title or not.

Battle For The Cowl: Man-Bat #1 - At least it was better than Bruce Jones' Man-Bat mini-series.

Cable #13 - Very cool issue. Nice Indiana Jones 4 reference by Deadpool, and I couldn't imagine staying in a fridge for 800 years. Next issue is going to be action-packed!

Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #2 - I'm sooo enjoying Hickman on the Fantastic Four! And all the time shifting in this issue was a really fun way to see what the other universes look like. Finally, Marvel's first family is fun to read again.

Dead Romeo #1 - Romeo & Juliet, only with vampires. Do yourself a favor and skip it.

Deadpool #9 - Two comics featuring Deadpool out this week?? Somebody pinch me! The humor was rampant in this issue, and I really do hope he gets the girl in the next issue. Laugh out loud action-packed fun!

Destroyer #1 - I liked this first issue. If it's one thing I've noticed with Kirkman, is he likes people getting punched through the face a lot. I'm signed-on for the rest of this intriguing mini.

Flash: Rebirth #1 - I thought it was really, really mediocre. It's rare when Geoff Johns lets me down, and this is one of those rare occurences. I have no doubt that the remainder of the series is going to be spectacular, but as for issue one, it was too much of a set-up issue to me. I love the Flash as much as the next DC Fanboy, and I'm absolutely thrilled Johns is going to clean-up the on-going disaster the title has been since Bilson & DeMaeo, but issue one was pretty 'meh' in my opinion. And I seem to be one of the very few fans who thought so this week. tongue.gif

Franklin Richards: April Fools - Fun for both adults and kids. Finally one book this week to address the holiday! And Puppy is my favorite.

G.I. Joe #4 - Continues to be an action-packed title!

Gravel #10 - Cool introduction of the new character. Warren Ellis has me hook-lined and sinker with this title, and more people should pick it up. Harry Potter meets Reservoir Dogs.

Greatest Hits #6 - I enjoyed the beginning of this series, but the later issues kinda fell apart for me. Didn't go out with the BANG I was hoping for.

Invincible Iron Man #12 - While it was cool to see Pepper trying out the suit on larger disasters, I thought it was pretty lame how Tony defeated Namor. Pollution at the last second? Really? He's going to lay down and die because of it? No way. The Namor I know would have torn-off Tony's head lickity-split.

Irredeemable #1 - I enjoyed it. I like how brutal the first few pages were, and the whole idea of the world's greatest hero turning into the world's greatest villain. The guy is so evil, he lobotomized his old side kick. I look forward to issue two!

Jonah Hex #42 - This title has been consistently enjoyable. I especially enjoy any stories of his up-bringing, and loved how his old Pa is just as tough as a grizzly. Never mess with a Hex.

Justice Society of America #45 - Kind of a let-down. You would think with all the thousands of years of experience, Black Adam would be more aware of what was going down. I did like the statues at the end, with the flower opening in the palm. But this new secret villain? Meh.

Masquerade #2 - Let's just say I'm enjoying the Death Defying 'Devil mini a lot more than this one.

New Avengers: The Reunion #2 - I know this might sound odd, but while I didn't enjoy the story of this issue, I really did enjoy the coloring. The darker colors, then the yellow of her glasses just popping out. It was very pleasant to look at.

Prototype #1 - Interesting first issue. Is this another one of the video games WildStorm is adapting to comic book form? They seem to be doing that a lot recently.

Savage Dragon #146 - I was kinda hoping for more, especially after the cliffhanger last issue.

Scalped #27 - Hands down my pick this week. Seeing the brutal and dark back story of Nitz is something I've been looking forward to for a long time. A whole lot of things make more sense after reading this issue, and I hope he does get Red Crow some day, but something tells me it won't be by legal means.

Seaguy: Slaves of the Mickey Eye #1 - Yeah, I haven't read any Seaguy before, and after reading this issue, I have no problem not reading any more in the future.

Secret Warriors #3 - Very cool to see Gorgon in action! and that last panel? D'awwww!!! I can't wait to see those two good friends work together again.

Star Trek Countdown #4 - After reading this final issue, a lot more makes sense to me of when it takes place (kinda).

Superman / Batman #57 - Like the idea, but why don't they just hire the Atom to find him?

Teen Titans #69 - Hey! Another new Teen Titans line-up! That's not getting old!

Teen Titans Annual #1 - Haha, I love that the upcoming crossover takes place among three titles I could care less about! Thank goodness it won't taint my other DC books.

The Boys #29 - After a long and insufferable arc, this final issue was actually pretty enjoyable. I honestly wasn't expecting that outcome. Now I can't wait for the next arc!

The Mighty #3 - Slowly but surely this series is growing more and more on me every issue. Maybe next issue I'll deem it Fast Five worthy. Glad to see Tomasi doing his own thing.

War Of Kings #2 - Continues with the action-packed pace! Can't wait to see Nova and the Guardians of the Galaxy intervene!


What did YOU think was good this week???
