More, before I pick up a new batch today.
Netherworld #2
New series from Image..and while the first issue sparked my interest, this one made it wane a bit. Still, see enough to continue on. It's set in a type of purgatory..a place between Heaven and Hell, where souls can set about to redeem themselves; but, Kane is amassing a large following, and wants to turn it into his own vision. (Naturally, that vision isn't a good one.)
A mild

Incredible Hulks #630
More red, green, and blue Hulks; and, I'm just excited that Pak is leaving this book very soon. We need a new writer who'll start over from scratch; and, while they're at it, get rid of Amadeus Cho, also.
Annililators #4
After being a bit bored with Thanos Imperative, this miniseries has really brought my interest back to the franchise. Both stories were great; and, better yet, so different from each other. It was great to see the Dire Wraiths come back (great, old Marvel villian from Rom), and while the various heroes were basically interchangable and uninteresting, the return of the SpaceKnights were worth picking it up. The real gem, though, was Rocket Racoon's story. Funny and adventurous, I loved every second of it.
for the Annihilators, and
for Rocket Racoon and Groot!
Black Panther: Man Without Fear #519
Liss actually tells a decent story, if you can just get past the ridiculousness of why the Panther is even in Hell's Kitchen. My problem with this issue is how after being revived from the dead, Kraven is popping up everywhere. But, that's what Marvel does. Villians disappear for a while, then it seems as if everyone starts to use them for a six month period.
Super Heroes #15
One of Tobin's better issues, as Captain America teams up with Chat. In fact, Chat is better here than she's been in the stagnant Spider-Man. Sad to see that Tobin seems to have abandoned his Avengers format that used to appear in this title.
Ka-Zar #1
I was so excited about his mini. Not only has Ka-Zar been making a fantastic appearance in Skaar's latest mini, but Jenkins would be writing this book.
That's where all the excitement ends. This book SUCKS! I was bored to tears with the "save the Savage Land" theme, and the art looks awful. Skip it, skip it, skip it!!!
Dean Koontz Nevermore #3
After the last two reprint issues from Dabel Bros. defunct title (good idea of Dynamite to provide the previous material, thus not losing readership who are thinking, "why are they starting with issue #3, and what happened in the first two issues"), we get new material. I'm glad this book is still continuing, as I am really interested in this time travel storyline. Some might be disappointed that the shift in focus is less on the main character trying to get back his dead wife; but, we get some good action with the monsters. I'm still aboard, and can't wait for more.
Orson Scott Card's Formic Wars #6
Much better than Speaker Of The Dead, this book has gone back in time to show readers how the Formic Wars began. Best of all, new readers didn't have to worry about all the other Ender's Game books, as this is a story in and of itself. I've enjoyed it very much.
