May 4, 2008 10:50 pm I have been a big Fan of Sim's for the last decade, so I will not contend that this review is in any way unbiased, but I thought this book was brilliant.  I thought this was one of the most interesting first issues I've ever read.  The art is fantastic.  I for one don't really know what this series is going to be about, as to whether there is going to be a storyline and whatnot (I hope so) but I loved the approach to this first issue... I certainly can't remember it ever being done before.  I'm looking forward to the next issue to see where this goes.  BTW, the cover to my copy is totally different then the one you have shown here.  I like yours better!!

I'm most looking forward to Mighty Avengers this week, can't wait to find out what Fury has been up to all this time, and another major reveal is supposed to take place in this issue.

Also looking forward to the new Ms. Marvel.  Last issue was awesome, and I think it really didn't get the attention it deserved.

Can't wait for the battle of the hulk's in Hulk #3.

I'm hoping we'll get some clues as to what's going to happen with Batman in the upcoming R.I.P. storyline in #675.

Can't help but look forward to another Brubaker penned issue of Uncanny X-men.

Flash is finally going to be back in the pages of Justice League of America.  It's about time.

The new X-Force series has been great, and I'm looking forward to #3 this week.

I thought the last issue of Thor was the best so far of the series, so I'm hoping to get the same quality this week.

Young Avengers Presents focuses on my favorite member this month, The Vision. I've liked this series a lot so far.

Looking forward to Countdown this week because it's finally going to be over.. Thank Jebus!

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting but these are what I can recall at the moment. Should be a good week.

I will be picking up the following issues, listen in order of my excitement:

 

1. Captain America #37 After last issues ending this book tops my list

2. Captain Marvel #5  Can't wait to find out the truth

3. Avengers Initiative #11  My favoriteMarvel team book. About to get a major overhaul

4. ASM #557  Best arc of BND by far. Bacvhalo's art is amazing

5. X-Men Divided We Stand #1  Been wondering what is happening with some of the "New X-Men" since MC

6. X-Factor #30  This book is so solid, Arcade is cool again.

7. Wolverine Origins #24  Usually hate this title, but I need my Deadpool fix from somewhere

8. Countdown to Final Crisis #2  I'm hoping the last two issues can salvage this title to an extent

9. Superman #675  Last issue for Busiek on this title,  Looking forward to the new team next month.

10. Iron Man #28   Books been pretty solid lately.

 

I may pick up Iron Man: Legacy of Doom, but I have to take a look at it first. I will do the same for any Indie books that look interesting.

 

The longest I ever stayed awake was for 5 days at a music festival, thanks to lots of LSD, ecstacy, mushrooms, and cocaine, alcohol and pot  Ah... To be 20 again....  If I tried that now I'd probably die by day 2.
