June 29, 2010 11:36 am This really didn't jive with me.  What I loved about the first Jurassic park was the atmosphere and mood (developed through the characters, the dinosaurs, but most of all the ISLAND).  I know its hard to get right into the action on an issue #1, but thats what good creators do!  I'm not hooked.  I'm just glad I was able to find the cover that I wanted and that Jurassic Park will be on HBO this week for my DVR to record :D

That Secret Warriors Cover and the preview paragraph sold me on repicking up this series (stopped when all the Siege stuff and The List stuff started pouring on).

 The same can be said for Green Arrow, awesome cover and really nice preview art. (Still waiting to read the two though :/)

June 7, 2010 4:51 pm I'm on the drop line for Cap.  It just hasn't been delivering over the past year.  The last arc I was gleeful over was Batroc ze Leaper and that was about a year ago.  Rebirth and siege really through a horrible wrench in this book for me personally.
June 7, 2010 4:49 pm I've heard great things about Hack/Slash but never picked up an issue.  I'll flip through it and see what I think, but if that cover is any kind of indicator, I'll at least have to pick this one up.
June 7, 2010 4:48 pm I've really been enjoying Daredevil with Diggle.  I feel like the last few issues pulled the gas back and I'm wondering if they are trying to maneuver for the Shadowland event.  Heres hoping for more great stories with Murdock/Hand Mayhem.
May 27, 2010 12:45 am SOLD!  I totally have to pick this up.  I didn't finish reading the review, but I felt Ron's love for the title, Heard Luke Cage is in a strong leading position, and Marvel B-Z level characters abound, and I'm on board.  At least for issues 1-3 :P

April 30, 2010 1:54 pm YAY!  Locke & Key getting some love, this series has been fabulous in my opinion and the cover helps sell this issue.  Not a great jumping on point, but grab #4 with this and you have a nice introduction to this wonderful work.
