March 13, 2008 3:12 pm Didn't pick up FF, so my pick was X-Factor in this lackluster week.

March 13, 2008 3:08 pm Im with you Balefuego.  This was my pick of the week.

Is there anyway to leave Sentry in that past without destroying mavel's space-time continuum?

March 10, 2008 5:20 pm This book is seriously underrated and that Alex Maleev cover is boss.

February 28, 2008 5:10 pm Good pick.  The art alone was enough to consider it pick of the week.  I however would have picked JSA just because of the sequence where KC Superman destroys Hercules while regular Supes gets a bloody nose from an elbow.  KC Superman is boss.

February 26, 2008 8:48 pm @JonSamuelson- True enough, but it just seems strange to me that Dr. Strange or any of the New Avengers, who all know him, would not at least go to him for some help.

February 26, 2008 8:37 pm Good call.  Since Johns left, the book has no focus.

February 25, 2008 8:07 pm Mike Carey has quietly been doing a great job about exploring Japanese myths and modern culture through this book.  I'm just afraid it might too quietly and Crossing Midnight ends up getting cancelled.  Anyone who is interested in the book should know that it is in the same tone as the classic 80's movie Labyrinth but with less Bowie bulge and hokieness.  If you did like this book you might want to check out the movie the Great Yokai War.  It is less serious, but shows off a lot of the different spirits (Yokai) in Japanese myths.  It's really fun movie.

February 25, 2008 7:51 pm I have read all the issues of Countdown to this point and the storylines are starting to converge, but I just don't care anymore.  At least in 52 I cared about the characters in it.  For example, the whole Mary Marvel storyline seems to have been for nothing.  Mary goes to "the dark side" and it meant nothing because they made it seem like it was the Black Adam power was the cause of her change in personality and not that she received a massive amount of power that corrupted her.  That would have made her a more interesting giving her a character flaw.  I read Countdown and fell empty inside because most of the things that have happen in this series seem to not matter in end.

February 25, 2008 7:32 pm Have liked the series so far, but disappointed that Thor was not better integrated into the Marvel U given all that is going on.  I guess that's JMS for you.
