A really light week for me...
New X-Men #38: Still not bad so far, though I'd like to have a reason to care about someone other than Illyana...
Star Wars: Legacy #11: Good stuff from Ostrander and Duursema this time around. I like that Cade Skywalker is being forced to choose sides now, finally. Also interesting little character reveals, and Cade's family history coming back to haunt him. Still liking this.
Nova #2: Every single page of this comic, I wanted Nova to punch Tony Stark in the face. Honestly. I like the way Nova's role in the post-Civil War MU is being set up so far. There's good dramatic tension in Rich's indecision about what his future on Earth should be. But I will be really disappointed if Nova joins the Initiative. The Nova/Thunderbolts fight next issue looks promising. My hope is that Rich comes away from this arc seeing what the Initiative really is...
Oh, and I flipped through Countdown in the store. Not technically bad, just... eh. A lot of cryptic stuff involving the Monitors and Darkseid, with character encounters that left me cold. And considering the high standard that 52 ended on, that's not nearly good enough a start for a major weekly event. I am curious about what's going on with Mary Marvel, though...

Just Nova 2 this time - and I completely agree with Steve! That was a major disappointment! I wanted to see Rider kick Tony's behind to the Negative Zone!
But still, I like the direction the story's headed in - I think that Nova is going to be Non-Registration eventually, after he learns more about the Initiative - and the fact that Tony Stark really didn't give him a choice, he just pretended like it. We'll find out more about this after Nova 3, I think. If Nova DOES go Registration, I'll be majorly disappointed. He shot up to my top five favorite Marvel characters after the brilliance that was the Annihilation arc.
