YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS #3

Hmm, a so-so week. The new blood on Moon Knight's not offered as much promise as the new blood on Ghost Rider. Kick-Ass may either prove to be more than the first chapter hinted, or not. And Logan is a very well written, albeit very generic, Wolverine story. But there is YAP and P:WJ. And of course, SI #1, in which the MU gets more mayhem that no one asked for.

MARVEL COMICS

Definitely:

CLANDESTINE #3 (OF 5) $2.99 - this has been a fun series; enough to get me to fork over the money for the original series hardcover.
YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS #3 (OF 6) $2.99 - slipping one week behind, thus leading to two YA issues in one month; since these issues all use different artists, that's a bit odd.

Maybe:

SECRET INVASION #1 (OF 8) $3.99 - Really, it's significant, I'm buying some related stuff, and I'm not an anti-Bendis partisan like a lot of people here; I'll wait to see a bit more of Yu's art, which was garbage on NA, but the preview we've got where he has an actual inker and a better colourist looked okay.
YOUNG X-MEN #1 DWS $2.99 - I got the preceding NXM series, but lineup doesn't inspire; at the same time, Marvel's artist choices for UXM and X-Factor in the near future seem almost calculated to repel me, so maybe I will end up buying it.

Astonishingly small week; two confirmed buys and two maybes (leaning towards buying SI, against buying YXM).

Not a bad week. I know I've got to get SI, due to the changes we'll receive. I like Yu's art, anyway. I think I'm really awaiting Logan, tbh. I want to steal BKV and acquire his writing skills

NEW WORLD ORDER #3 $3.50

That looked pretty interesting put I passed on it. Any good?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The first issue was weird. It's all about secret societies and backroom politics with some religion and what I can only guess is a serious treatment of the Reptilian theory mixed in, if I recall correctly.

Yes. Next is Vision, then Stature, then Hawkeye.

Cool beans.

Yeah pretty much what Corp said. If you like your books conspiracy-lite, it's worth a look.

 

[iloveclones]

Amazing Spider-man #555 $2.99
Secret Invasion #1 (of 8) $3.99 - this is in the top tier because I always like BMB's set-ups. The conclusions are almost 100% guaranteed anti-climactic, but the set-ups are almost always good.

Young Avengers Presents #3 (of 6) $2.99 - the two so far have been pretty decent
Twelve #4 (of 12) $2.99
Logan #2 (of 3) $3.99
Kick Ass #2 (mr) $2.99
Moon Knight #17 $2.99
Cable #2 Dws $2.99
Young X-men #1 Dws $2.99

Dark Tower Long Road Home #2 (of 5) $3.99
Omega Unknown #7 (of 10) $2.99
Punisher War Journal #18 $2.99

NEW EXILES #4 $2.99 - brand new tier entitled "Judge him not, for he knows not what he does"
