Bought Thought Jully 11, 2007

Very good week. Not a single book disappointed me. I wish every week was like this.

X-Factor- PICK OF THE WEEK! Man, it's been a while since I could say that. This book hasn't been bad by any means, but it hasn't been as good as usual. Luckily, this issue is one of the best in a while. Talk about a shocking second last page! Great stuff. 9/10

New Avengers- So far, I've guessed one of the side-switchers. It makes logical sense, when you think about what's to come. I really liked seeing Logan lay it all out for the team. He's very blunt, and I liked the joke about him being all over the place. I'm very excited to see where all of this goes, provided Bendis doesn't take the Skrull thing too far. 9/10

Runaways- Ending sold it for me. Can't wait for next issue. Sadly, I'll have to wait longer than I would've under Vaughan. :cwink:8/10

Fantastic Five- As much as I love my girl, I've been digging Tom Defalco's other MC2 titles a little bit more than Spider-Girl lately. This is a great old-school FF tale, and Lim's art is a perfect match. FF fans need to be reading this. 8/10

Deadpool/GLI- There really isn't much to be said. It's a lot of fun starring Marvel's most fun characters. A lot of nice loose ends are tied up, and Nicieza and Slott have some fun with continuity. Great issue. Too bad the art's just okay in most parts. 8/10

Punisher War Journal- Man, I was really shocked by Frank's actions. I really didn't expect that. My only complaint is that I feel like Fraction screwed up showing us Frank tied up so many issues ago. 8/10

Spider-Girl- Getting better. I love seeing Darkdevil, and it was nice to see President Bridge again. 8/10

Was I the only one who actually read Nova? Richard Rider is not dead. Ko-Rel even says that he's alive. He's hurt and the Worldmind says that it's damaged, but obviously both of them will recover. I am looking forward to seeing Ko-Rel in action. My guess is that she's going to inspire Rich to rebuild the Nova Corps by the end of Conquest.

Also, I thought Wraith was all right. Nothing spectacular, but Wraith seems like a cool character and the alive/not alive thing is interesting to me. I think one issue is too little to judge a new character on, especially one that's pushing for mystery in the first place, so I'll keep reading. Grillo-Marxuach didn't let me down with Super-Skrull, either, so I'm gonna see Wraith through for the rest of the mini.

I read Nova and did a review on the first page. I don't think he's dead either.

Wraith on the other hand was just not as cool as I wanted it to be. Grillo-Marxauch isn't anything special in my opinion. His Super-Skrull mini was the weakest of the bunch for me.

I loved Super-Skrull. I'd probably even put it over the Silver Surfer mini. Ronan was easily the weakest of the Annihilation minis for me.

I wasn't talking to you about Nova. A bunch of other reviews said stuff about Rich's being dead, so I was talking to them. Try to keep up, my friend. :o

Wow, this is one area where we do not agree. I thought Ronan was up there with Nova as being better than Silver Surfer and Super-Skrull.

I thought it was all right, but it kind of careened off the edge of sanity towards the end. I wasn't a big fan of Glorian, either. Of course, I paid the least attention to Ronan's mini every month, so maybe I didn't fully appreciate it. I was more interested in Super-Skrull and Praxagora's twisted romance.

This is how I rank them:

Nova
Silver Surfer
Super-Skrull
Ronan

That's not to say I didn't like Ronan and Super-Skrull, as I thought they were all great in their own right. It's just that Silver Surfer and especially Nova were just so good. God I loved Annihilation. If it wasn't for Annihilation I wouldn't be back into comics as strongly as I am. I think I'm gonna go buy vol. 3 today, even if I have the issues.
 
Plus, Titus' artwork on Super-Skrull was pretty bad at times. He's more of a fluid, animation style designer than a comic book artist. Rendering shadows and light is not his strong suit.
 
That I'll agree with. I bet Super-Skrull would've been even better than it was if it'd had another artist.

Question: Am I the only one who read Batman Confidential? If so, then shame on all of you, for this was actually a pretty good story.

I read it and enjoyed it quite a bit. Nice tongue in cheek slams to former Batman weapons and the yellow chest logo. I think this should shape up to be pretty good stuff.
 
How long is the Heroes guy on Confidential for?
 
anyone read Green Arrow: Year One?

I wanted to check out the issue but I was never a fan of Diggles work. just wondering if anyone would recommend it to me.
 
I walked into my comic store with my Jamie Madrox outfit on , and they were jealous. I also walked into my comic store after reading a tiny little blip about Nova beind dead. So I was kinda pissed.

I'm kind of ODing on Space stories right now, with Nova, Wrath and GL but oh well.

Darth might kill you for the Madrox shirt. Watch your back.
