Batman Vol 2 #6 – see the linked review Nightwing Vol 3 #6 – the story is near its conclusion and it’s still pretty great Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 #679.1 – a great one-off that gives us more time with Uatu Jackson and sets up
X-Men Vol 3 #24 – deals with Jubilee being a vampire. One of the better X-Men stories in a while. Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha & Omega #2 – no one will listen to Quire and Wolverine’s out for blood Huntress Vol 3 #5 –
Uncanny X-Men Vol 2 #6 – the fallout from Uncanny X-Force continues. The result is a kind of Savage Land for new readers. Overall, I liked it less than issue #5, but still pretty good Defenders Vol 4 #3 – this continues to
FF #14 – This issue continues where the last one left off with the kids, Doom, and Grey Reed facing off against The Celestials. It also indirectly leads right into Fantastic Four #602. Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 #46 – The issue wavers in quality, but
Nightwing Vol 3 #5 – the main plot takes a break while Dick deals with Voodoo! Red Hood and the Outlaws #5 – the book once again looks exciting. We’ll see if #6 is disappointing or if Lobdell breaks the trend. Generation Hope
X-Men Legacy #260.1 – Rogue and team head to Wolverine’s school to work security. They struggle with the idea of keeping the kids from having the X-Men childhood they did. The book leaves Mike Carey’s hands, but Christos Gage does a good job with his
The Defenders #2 – Remains the funniest mainstream book I’ve been regularly keeping up with. Lots of fun. X-23 #20 – I thought this was the last issue, but apparently it’s the penultimate. Pretty good friendship issue between Laura and Jubilee. It was an absolute
It was a heavily X-Men week for me this week. Some great issues and some OK issues. All links go to Comic Vine. X-Men Vol 3 #23 – The end of the Sentinels in Eastern Europe arc. Good, but not great. Wolverine and the X-Men:
This week was a very small release for me, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have some fun titles to read. It was a bit X-Men week, that’s for sure! I had 3 explicit X-Men books and Avengers: Children’s Crusade features them quite heavily as
Batman and Robin #4 – The creative team hits their stride as a book I was once sure to drop and collect in trades starts becoming a book I can’t wait to read every month. This issue has Batman and Robin deal with escaping
Swamp Thing #4 – I’m sad that Paquette wasn’t on art duties this month, but that didn’t stop the book from being the prettiest of the week. Animal Man #4 – So grotesque all the time, but I’m intrigued with how this will tie in
A fairly good week for my pull list. Lots of great comics rivaling The Defenders for this week’s POW! Most, if not all, of the links are out to Comic Vine. Action Comics #4 – Grant Morrison goes back to a Golden Age (or is
