So, what did you all get this week?  A small stack this time around, but okay overall... Exiles #93: Light week, so why not. I got curious about this book after hearing about it from Phil, so I'm giving it a shot. Cause, frankly, I could use a regular Marvel title that isn't drowned in misery and badly-written event stories. Astro City: The Dark Age #3 Punisher: Barracuda #3 JSA #5 52 Week Fifty-One: Still looking forward to seeing how this ends. Now just one last week to go. I'll miss this book. |

Exiles 93. I'm so on board for this one, loving it so far. But you should try to get the rest of the arc, Steve (started with 90.) That's when Claremont came on and also when Psylocke became a part of the team.
Also JSA 5 and 52 # 51. And I'll also miss this book as well. Hopefully Countdown will be just as good.
It's nice to be reading American comics again, it's been a long time.

Sounds good, Phil. I'll look out for back issues next time I head to my shop. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find them, but we'll see. Exiles was interesting and I didn't have any trouble following the story even four issues in. So far, Exiles seems to be closer to the standard I hold present-day Claremont to. That is, a solidly entertaining superhero book. I'd hoped Claremont would be a good fit for this book, and that seems to have played out. I have to admit, I rather like the new Slaymaster. Now this is how you credibly establish a villain. |

Slaymaster certainly tore Sabretooth up!

52 #51 & 51. So near the end now, but still good WW3 - rather less than I'd hoped. Not a bad look at Martian Manhunter, but overall disappointing, I felt. I'm really not sure why they spun it off into a four part mini. Everything important got covered in 52 itself. Crossing Midnight - still very good. Barracuda - typical Ennis humour - dark, cruel, and incredibly funny ;D JLA. Setup issue. Justice. Not bad. Cable & Deadpool. Bit of a filler issue. Sets of DP's status quo, and irons out a bit of back story I'd forgotten about. And didn't care about, really ;D Ex Machina. Still good stuff, and building well. Fallen Angel. Interesting. I do like FA. One of those very under-rated titles that does something truly different. |
