Anyone pick up anything interesting this week? 
A rather large haul on my side...
Avengers: The Initiative #1: You know, at this point, I'm ready to say that any Avengers comic featuring the pro-reg guys is a villain book. Initiative is well-written (as I would expect from Slott), but it's in a way that makes me dislike the pro-reg side even more. Quality stuff, but Civil War and the aftermath as presented here makes it hard for me to sympathize with anyone but Justice and the poor kids who have been drafted...
Runaways #25: Decent start so far, though I'm unsure yet where Whedon is going with this. In theory, this should be the kind of book Whedon should handle well, so we'll see...
Nightwing #131: Readable, with some good moments, but at this point I'd really like the Bride/Groom story to be done with. Nightwing's rogues gallery used to be much better than this...
Atom #10: This is a surprisingly good comic. Ryan Choi is (no pun intended) growing on me as a character, and the twists and turns with Jia and Ryan's past are compelling. I'm looking forward to the Search For Ray Palmer...
Zemo: Born Better #3: I would like a Baron Zemo ongoing if we end up getting more stories like this. Zemo vs. the original Union Jack is a good matchup, and works well. The final issue looks promising if Nicieza continues to deliver with this.
Superman #661: I get the distinct impression that the latest issues are placeholding until Carlos Pacheco comes back. This is yet another smaller story from Busiek, this time involving Lois and Wonder Woman. Okay for what it is, but I've seen better on this title.
JLA #7: Good stuff from Meltzer and Benes once again. A quieter issue that brings the League officially together and establishes the new setup. The JLA/JSA crossover looks promising so far...
Punisher #46: Another good issue from Garth Ennis.
Buffy Season 8 #2: So far, building up nicely. Answers some questions, but in a way that raises more. Looking forward to more out of Giant Dawn.
52 Week Forty-Eight: All the threads of 52 keep drawing to a close, and so far quite effectively. World War 3 is building up quite well so far...
