-The next person to bash X-Men Legacy had damn-well better not be picking up X-Force that week. X-Men Legacy might be boring, but at least it's readable.

Man, that's a lot of SI tie-ins. I won't be getting the Spidey one, as I've not touched one since OMD, but the rest still interest me. I'm iffy on Thunderbolts as well if it's like last issue, which was already entirely covered in Secret Invasion, but with some mentions of Swordsman's sister mixed in. I've pretty much decided that I'm dropping Thunderbolts after SI, so I wouldn't mind dropping it early and saving some money, especially on bigger weeks like this. The rest really interest me though.

I'm giving the new Iron Fist team a try and the first issue was alright, so I'm still hanging on to that one. Old Man Logan is 100% surprising me. I've not bought Wolverine since Enemy of the State, and even before then I think it was since the relaunch, so it's rare for a story to grab me out of that title... but this story is really good. Legacy and X-Force so far are kinda bleh for me, as are most X-Titles at the moment. These two are probably the best of the lot, but even so I'm still not THAT impressed. I hate to think that I may just be finally wearing thin on the X-Universe after 15 years (plus if you count the fact that Ive read an enjoyed them since the All New All Different).

Overall could be a good week. I'm eager for SI to end though so I can free up some spending money to try some other titles not Marvel related. I've recently bought End League through Dark Horse, and Echo by Terry Moore and I loved them. I've always been interested in more Indipendant titles, but most aren't clean enough for me, but these both revigerated my interest... and I want to see what I can find. Invincible is an eventual target as well. I read around the first 25 issues and stopped I want to pick up on it again eventually.

Not that it matters, but I don't even think that mini is about Spider-Man. Just his supporting superhero cast, aka Jackpot

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Spider-Man's busy in the main SI mini.

 

[Phaedrus45]

This is going to be a freakin' expensive week! Marvel alone has over 30 titles.

-Wow. Almost forgot about Teen Titans Year One.

My six year old daughter loves this comic. I'm glad to see she's starting to get into comic books. Hopefully, I can convert one little girl into seeing how cool comics can be; especially, since her mother cannot stand them.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I lost interest in Teen Titans: Year One. I was reading it mostly for Karl Kerschl's art in the first place, but the story just kept getting progressively dumber, I thought.
