THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #676
December 20, 2011 4:16 am More word balloons on covers, I say!
(It suits the tone of ASM perfectly)

UNCANNY X-MEN #2
November 30, 2011 7:09 am Yep. Just WASN'T funny. And anyone expecting younger new readers to pick it up are wrong. This book's better... just!

Pick of the Week – 10.26.2011 – Wolverine and the X-Men #1
October 27, 2011 2:50 am I'm geting old and cranky. I disliked this comic big time. It felt like reading one of those comics like Young Justice from DC that is aimed at kids. I didn't find it at all funny. But like I say I've just got old and cranky and probably lost my sense of humour.

WONDER WOMAN #2
October 18, 2011 1:18 am This is exactly my feeling. I tried this out after hearing how good it was... and it was pretty good. I don't really think that the quality of the story had that much to do with the character of Wonder Woman. The same story with some other main character would have worked just as well. The art was pretty need though.
As Neeks says it's going to be a "make or break" issue.

Pick of the Week – 10.05.2011 – O.M.A.C. #2

I'll definitely buy this as I use the PotW as a way of trying out new titles. But, really, the first issue wasn't particularly good. It'd have to have desperately improved in the course of one issue.

Remake & Reboot: A Doctor Strange Comic Series
October 6, 2011 12:20 am Turn it into a horror book and get Scott Snyder to write it.
Get Chris Samnee to draw it for that old-school style.
Nuff said.

Pick of the Week – 09.28.2011 – The Flash #1
September 30, 2011 2:51 pm "Artistically, Manapul and Buccellato are at the top of their game."
Absolutely right. I was shocked how good Manapul's become. I disliked his style when the Flash re-lauched just over a year ago. I only got this because it's PotW and I'm glad I did. Definitely a welcome evolution.
Personally, though, I thought Aquaman - another book I didn't see myself liking - or Justice League Dark (purely for Mikel Janin's art) were better. But, still, Flash was good.

September 27, 2011 1:37 pm I've got this. It is stunning. It MUST be a future pick for the monthly graphic novel. I think Josh would like this a great.

CAPTAIN AMERICA AND BUCKY #622
September 27, 2011 1:33 pm Samnee's art is brilliant. This is one of the comics I've been looking forward to.

ACTION COMICS #1
September 6, 2011 1:43 pm This is one of the books I'm really interested in. After reading Morrison's take on Superman in Super-gods, I'm interested in the angle of him being a hero of the common man (which could set up some neat conflicts with Bruce Wayne later on).
