January 8, 2013 2:34 pm I hate Peter Parker like I hate poison. I couldn't get into Ultimate Spidey until Miles showed up and I'll give this a definite try as well since Peter is gone (at least for a while).

December 21, 2012 1:05 pm Yeah, they have plenty of heavy hitters. No argument there. Just seems like the recruiting of characters like this kinda goes against the whole new mantra of there are huge threats, everything keeps escalating and we need to think bigger. Are more street level characters the answer to this? Doesn't matter what order these events happen in, even if you lump these two characters into the "support structure" side of things that Steve mentions, are a character (Jessica) that people have had endless trust issues with and a character (Shang Chi) who has no deep Avenger roots at all good choices?

December 19, 2012 6:33 pm OMG, guys- Thor, Hulk and Iron Man are all being held captive by someone immensely powerful! Quick, let's recruit... Jessica Drew and Shang Chi? Really?

December 19, 2012 2:25 pm (Kinda story spoilers ahead) This may be a dumb question but what exactly was Banner trying to pull over on Tony in the Himalayas scene? I read it twice and have no idea what his endgame was there. Was it really just to fight Tony? His internal monologue seems to hint at something bigger than that. And then when it's done, Tony is totally fine with it and doesn't care? That scene and the follow up scene make no sense to me.

December 19, 2012 11:43 am If anyone lives in the Bay Area (CA) - Darick Robertson is doing a signing today at Illusive Comics in Santa Clara starting at 4pm. Leaving work early and bringing Space Beaver and Transmet to get signed.

December 12, 2012 7:38 pm Power levels crack me up. It feels so out of place when the actual level names are verbalized by characters. Last time I recall seeing an example was in The Annihilators. It was something like Omega vs. Omega Plus.

December 12, 2012 2:11 pm SPOILERS: (filler text filler text filler text) I really hope it is thoroughly explained how Arcade is this powerful now. Maybe I missed something and need to give it a re-read but I won't be satisfied with a "this is his world so it is his rules" explanation. I mean he was ridiculously strong. I LOVE how he was drawn, though.

November 14, 2012 1:21 pm Floored by that panel where the stereo mimics Joker's face.

November 11, 2012 12:30 pm Good review. I'm with you, these guys just keep putting out quality books. Wonder how long they can keep it up.
