Star #5 was a fitting end to the first mini series for a new character. Kelly Thompson knows this character well, and will make us love her sooner or later. The pencils and colors are the cherry on top of the issue that makes it stand out further. Star is a hero we need to see more of!

Rescue 2020 #2 is a pretty solid read. Dana Schwartz humanizes characters we many have no interest in and fleshes Pepper out in wonderful ways. The pencils and colors work and are light and fun.

X-Men Black Mojo #1 was great fun.

Who would have thought Shatterstar #1 would be such a fun book? You can never count out Tim Seeley on writing duties, he is just a great writer, no matter who he touches.

There isn't a bad thing to say about this first issue of Shatterstar except that we have to wait another month for the next installment.

Extermination #3 is a must read for any X-Men fan.

Runaways is a series that appeals to everyone. It has teen heroes, but they're written so well that people of any age can get behind them.

Amazing Spider-Man #801 is a must read for all Spidey fans.

This is the most exciting the Punisher has been in a long while. Seeing Frank going overseas and taking out terrible world leaders is great. Frank is showing that he can be the hero that people need.

Vigilante justice doesn't seem to have much of a place in the Marvel universe these days, but don't tell that to Frank Castle.

Weapon H will exceed your expectations!

This is a must read for anyone who is a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Anyone who likes great and epic stories should be reading "No Surrender"...a book filled with big characters and big moments.

The best thing to do here is to just take Damage for what he is and enjoy that. This issue was well written and drawn excellently. DC is trying to make Damage a different hero, and in time he will get there, but until then, this is a fun book that should entertain anyone with a sense of adventure.

X-Men Red is off to a decent start and feels like a back to the basics book for the X-Men.

This seems to be a rare instance where everyone working on the title is the perfect fit for it.

This was a little bit of a slower issue for Astonishing X-Men, but it was still a good read. Charles Soule has been putting out the best X-book every month since this title debuted. The rotating artists hasn't affected the book in any way and Noto fills in nicely. Astonishing X-Men should still be the first X-book you read this week.

This one is off to an excellent start

The Uncanny Avengers unity squad is no more, but we can take solace in the fact that Jim Zub sent them off on a high note. This was a fitting ending that should give readers and fans hope for the future of these characters.

This is a series that has consistency on it's side and if you're a fan of darker Marvel titles, Weapon X is worth a read.

Astonishing X-Men continues to be the book that X-fans should be flocking to.

Action Comics is right up there with Batman in terms of quality.

Superman continues to be a must read book.

If you're unsatisfied with your weekly pull, add X-Men: Gold to put a smile on your face.

Weapon X is decent this week, but it wasn't as great as it normally is.

Cable #150 has put this title back on the map. This was a fun issue that meshed some of our favorite moments from the past together.

Detective Comics has sort of been in the shadow of other bat related books, but this arc has been fantastic. James Tynion IV has put together two good and interesting issues to kick this arc off. You couldn't have asked for a better job on art duties than the team that was on display here. Detective comics is a breath of fresh air.

X-Men Gold is one of the most entertaining books on the rack this week.

Marvel Legacy #1 doesn't fix everything that's wrong with the Marvel Universe, but it is a step in the right direction.

Batman #31 continues to set the high bar for DC.

Action Comics #987 had a lot of hype around it, and it's definitely been met.

There really shouldn't be a doubt anymore that Astonishing X-Men is the premier X-book.

This issue was a bit of a let down because it was predictable. As a series, it was entertaining, but there wasn't a chance this series ended with a Hydra Marvel U.

Another issue that is on par with where the series has been since the New 52 ended...the pencils and colors weren't anything spectacular, but certainly served their purpose and were fine enough.

There shouldn't be any doubt that Steve Niles could scare you, but you can't say enough about the art. This series is an overall success so far thanks in large part to the dedication put in by everyone involved.

There may only be a couple of issue left of this series, but Secret Empire #8 is the issue that takes off the gloves and heads towards the finish line.

The art being spectacular is a huge boost to the issue, but overall, the disappointment from nothing changing in the status quo may affect how you feel about this event moving forward.

"Weapons of Mutant Destruction" has been an entertaining crossover, despite the lame name. Greg Pak has done a good job with all of the characters in the cast and has made this a very fun read. Every aspect of the art is great.

X-Men Gold is a book for throwback fans and new fans alike.

Amazing Spider-Man has been consistently good for a long time now. Dan Slott has worked his magic to make this title a must-read. To top it off, it's hard to ask for a better job in the art department than what's given this issue.

All-New Wolverine is arguably one of the best X-books on the shelf. Consistent writing and solid art help this book remain a good read month in and month out.

As far as introductory issues go, this is a pretty good effort. The story is interesting enough and it's a cool concept.

Venom #150 is a step in the right direction, but it's not perfect. Mike Costa needs to build up the relationship between Eddie and the symbiote more. It almost seems like we're thrown in and things are already in place. The art needs to be a little darker for a title like this. It was light in certain spots and didn't fit. We're on our way to getting the Venom series we want, but we're not there yet.

Anyone who has been on the fence about this series should be brought around by the first two issues of this arc. Sam Humphries and co. have found a way to break down both of his lanterns and show them that they dont know as much as they think they do. You cant say enough about the art in this issue. Everyone involved brought their A-game and it shows on the page. Were getting spoiled with the quality of the Green Lanterns books during Rebirth.

Titans #11 kicks off the mini-crossover, and it does a fine job of keeping you interested and wondering where things will be heading next week. Percy and Abnett are professionals and know how to craft a good crossover. The art steals the show here, though. Brett Booths pencils mixed with the wonderful color scheme really sell this issue. If youre hungry for an old school Teen Titans event, The Lazarus contract will be right up your alley.

As far as relaunches go, this was a pretty decent set up issue. Old characters are represented and some new ones are also introduced. Chad Bowers remains faithful to fans of the original series while also trying to bring in new readers. The art is fine, but could be a little edgier. Overall, if youre a fan of the book from the 90s youll like this issue.

Action Comics has been a wonderful surprise for Superman fans who were tired of mediocrity. Strong writing and good art help to make this series a must read. No Superman lover should be skipping this book. Period.

Usually zero issues are very uneventful, but thats not the case with Secret Empire. Nick Spencer builds off of his Captain America run with ease and the story progression feels legitimate and not forced. The art couldnt have been better by Acua and Reis. Secret Empire will wipe away your event fatigue with its intriguing story and excellent art!

Weapon X didnt get as much promotion as X-Men Gold or X-Men Blue, but this is a good start to the series. Greg Pak pulls us in with a few planted seeds that will grow as the series progresses. The art doesnt disappoint as Land, Leisten and DArmata all turn in solid work. Weapon X is a series that doesnt show all of its cards in the first issue, and there is nothing wrong with that.

X-Men Gold is a book that might have given some fans a bit of hesitation initially, but those fears should be put to rest after this first issue. Guggenheim has brought the X-Men back to their classic storytelling roots and done away with all the dreary circumstance. The art couldnt have been better and the entire crew knocked it out of the park. X-Men Gold has the potential to be a juggernaut.

Occupy Avengers is a title that flies under the radar, but its an excellent small scale series. David Walker is making the most of this hero road trip by fleshing out lesser known characters and allowing them to shine. The art fits the story and will be appreciated by readers who have a fine eye for different styles and creative expression. This is probably one of the least talked about Avengers books, but it shouldnt be.

This was an excellent first issue and everyone involved deserves a huge pat on the back. Iron Fist has had some mediocre series in his tenure as a hero, but this one is off to a great start. Ed Brissons script and the art by Mike Perkins and Andy Troy will leave you wanting more as you finish this strong introduction.

It shouldnt be a secret that this series is not a fan favorite. The cameo at the end of the issue says a lot about the direction editorial decided to take. Matt Costa isnt a bad writer, but this isnt the vehicle for him. The art has steadily improved each issue, but is ultimately not enough to make this a series to invest in.

This was an amazing debut into comics for R.L. Stine. Its hard to make people care about a character like Man-Thing, but Stinemanages to do it. With the help some wonderful art, Man-Thing #1 is an excellent book and should be read by anyone who just loves a good story.

Superman #18 is a good read, but is almost entirely set-up even as it continues to be one of the true winners to come out of DCs Rebirth line. These are the kind of stories that got lost in the crowd when Superman was being written as an object of mass destruction. The care that Tomasi and Gleason are putting into this title shows with every new issue, and theyve really made Clark a likable and relatable guy. Whether youre a Superman fan or not, this is definitely a book that should be read consistently.

Uncanny X-Men continues to impress month after month. Cullen Bunn certainly has a grasp on the characters he writes. The art is clean and well colored. This is a solid creative team that brings to life the characters' innerthoughts. One of the biggest draws of this series has been the consistency. Were not let down this month as Bunn shows us once again that a well crafted story with characters that you love make a huge difference in story telling.

All-New Wolverine continues to be one of the best X-books on the shelves. This issue had some problems, but its still a good read. There is something to be said for the way Tom Taylor has developed Laura Kinney as a character. Its easy to let someone be a wild berserk killing machine, but Taylor has given her a heart.

Champions honestly hasnt gotten a ton of press since its debuted. This is a pretty decent little series though, but it is getting a bit political, which is a turn off. Mark Waid is an excellent writer and hes teamed with Humberto Ramos, who is turning in some of his best work of his career right now. This is a series worth reading.

Extraordinary X-Men has been very good lately. There could be any number of reasons why, but it seems like Lemire is thriving with these smaller, self-contained stories. The art has also gotten better as Ibanez has gotten more comfortable with the characters. Its a shame the title will be ending as it starts to heat up.

In a complete shocker, Justice League #13 is one of the best comics of the week. Tim Seeley made this a fun and creepy book that had great art to match it. If youre not a fan of the series thats fine, but this is definitely an issue worth picking up.

Inhumans Vs. X-Men #2 didnt develop much in the way of characters, but the battle progressed and this was essentially an all out battle issue. Its hard to have both sides well represented here and that has been a flaw of the series so far, but it has been more entertaining than expected and heres hoping the rest of the series will be as fun as the first three.

U.S.Avengers was a bit of a surprise. This may seem like a book that you could easily pass over due to the lack of star power on the team, but it is a very good start to the series. Well written characters and a creative way to introduce them to the audience is what sets this book apart from other generic titles on the shelf.

Titans #6 has its flaws, but if you like the characters enough, youll like this issue. The writing needs a little work, but Dan Abnett does a good enough job to keep fans interested. The art is a highlight that should wow you as you flip through the pages. Titans is the book for people who love Wally West and want to celebrate his return.

Uncanny X-Men #16 was a pretty good issue, but it had some confusing parts that might force you to re-read it. The story was good enough and the art department stepped up as usual. Its a shame this book will be going away because it was a breath of fresh air in the line.

Action Comics #969 continues the trend of making the Superman books must-read since Rebirth. Dan Jurgens just has this rapport with Superman that allows him to write some of his best stories. The art this issue was great on both ends. Action Comics is a book any and all Superman fans should be reading right now.

Nova #1 was a bit of a let down. This feels like the second issue of a story arc and not an introductory issue. New fans to the series will likely have no idea what is going on and question if they missed something. The art is decent and captures the feel of a fun and carefree series. There is some work to be done for this to be a title that sticks on the shelves.

Inhumans vs. X-Men #0 was a very good read. Charles Soules script filled in many of the gaps fans had after Death of X, but still left some plot points dangling for the rest of the series. The art was amazing, but one ouldnt expect anything less with Rocafort and Brown on this book. If Death of X left a bad taste in your mouth, Inhumans vs. X-Men #0 is a good way to rinse out the awful after-taste.

“Disappointed” isnt a big enough word to use after reading this issue. The writing seems very uneven and ridiculous at times. Characters were stomped on for dramatic effect and it comes off terrible. If ever there was a book to skip on the shelves, Death of X #4 is it.

Suicide Squad #6 was alright, but splitting the main story with a back-up story really hinders the enjoyment of the issue. You honestly get 12 pages of main storyline and a redone Killer Croc origin that is pretty lame. This issue suffers because of this split and the main plot doesnt get the chance to progress enough. That aside, the art in both sections of the book is excellent. Once this series gets rid of the back-up stories and focuses on the main plot, it will be a better book.

Uncanny X-Men 15 is another wonderful issue to add to Cullen Bunns run on the series. The art, despite having several hands on it, is consistent and good. You really cant say enough about the quality of this series.

Champions #2 is by no means a bad book, it just isnt anything different or new from what youve seen before. Mark Waid is an uber-talented writer and needs to distance this teen book from every other one somehow. The art was the best part of the book. They turned in a very good performance with little missteps. This may end up being a series that needs time to get going.

As All-New, Al-Different Avengers winds down, you should walk away from this issue satisfied. If you didnt love the series as a whole, this is at least a very good way to wrap it up. Everyone involved should feel proud, as this was honestly one of the best issues of the entire run.

Death of X #2 takes a dip in quality from the first issue. Its not terrible, but some characterization feels forced and unreasonable. Lemire and Soule are both good writers, but if youre an X-Men fan, this isnt going to be an enjoyable read. The pencils, inks, and colors were all handled very well for the second issue in a row. If youre not interested in seeing one of your favorite mutants get ruined, at least the art is top-notch.

Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy is off to a nice start. Dan Slott has been criticized for his work on Amazing Spider-Man, but this event reads really wellso far. The art is very good in every sense of the word. Cheung and Ponsor are working magic on the pages of this book.

Death of X has been a series and story fans have been waiting to hear since Secret Wars ended. The first issue did not disappoint and should please fans of both the X-Men and Inhumans. The pencils and colors were very good in this introductory issue. This mini series has the potential to put the X-Men back on top of the sales chart, where they belong. If the writing is consistent and Aaron Kuder continues to crush the art duties, this will be an epic mini.

Action Comics has been one of the best books put out by DC during its Rebirth iniative. Dan Jurgens has been writing a very interesting story, and even though this was a slower issue, it was still very intriguing. The pencils and colors for this issue just flat-out rock. This is not only a book for people who love Superman, its a book for people who love good stories.

Extraordinary X-Men annual #1 was pretty fun breather from the serious tone of the regular issues. There issome excellent art and some art different from the norm art, but whatever your cup of tea, if you like the characters, you should like this annual.

Detective Comics #940is a wonderful issue that sends a fan favorite character out of our lives. James Tynion IV has a love for the characters that he writes and it shows with the way he handled this death. This series has honestly been one of the biggest surprises of Rebirth. It has twists and turns and, above all that, great writing and exceptional art.

No Avengers title has come further than Uncanny Avengers. This series started out slow, but has really picked up steam and is the best of the Avengers bunch. Gerry Duggan has found his groove and is telling a very interesting tale. The pencils and colors have also picked up to launch this book into must-read territory.

Captain America: Steve Rogers has been a heck of a ride. For a book that is surrounded in controversy, Nick Spencer is turning out an amazing story that will have lasting consequences for Steve Rogers in the future. The pencils and colors absolutely rock this issue and youd be hard pressed to find better art in any other book this week. If youre not reading this series, youre missing out on all kinds of awesome.

Civil War II X-Men #3 is a decent issue. Its nothing ground breaking or anything we havent really seen already, but its a decent enough issue. Cullen Bunns characterization of nearly everyone in the book is a testament to his wonderful writing style. There doesnt seem to be anyone he cant get a grasp on. The art probably wont wow you, but it is sufficient and wont take you out of the series.

Its odd to say that of all the characters in Detective Comics, Batman is the one that gets the least amount of focus. James Tynion IV has done an awesome job on this title so far and his superb character work is what makes it a different Bat-Title. The art has been incendiary and should only get better as Martinez gets more comfortable. This has been a great run so far and it doesnt look to be slowing down anytime soon.

Suicide Squad Rebirth #1 was a pretty good introduction to the main characters. Its no coincidence that the lineup just so happens to match up with the current film's, but what are you going to do? Rob Williams turned in a decent script that didnt offer many surprises, but was fine enough, andthe art is what really sells this issue. Philip Tan and Alex Sinclair really put in a good effort this issue and make it very enjoyable to read.

Titans #1 is a step in the right direction for a series that has had a very rough stretch lately. Dan Abnett is very capable of writing a good team book and this is a series that needs an architect. The art is very good and is handled by professionals in every aspect. If youre craving a Titans book that will satisfy your thirst for the classic story telling style, this should be able to at least get you excited.

Uncanny X-Men has undoubtedly been the best X-Men book on the market since the re-launch. What Cullen Bunn is crafting story wise could be end up going down as a great run for this great franchise. Ken Lashley really stepped up his art game with each new issue; he clearly got more comfortable and it shows. This arc as a whole may not be as good as their first arc, but Uncanny X-Men is the X-book to read.

The hype was met in Civil War II #3. Even if you know what is coming, the way Bendis and company handle it will still surprise you. Were now past the point of calling this series a gimmick and actually waiting to see what happens next.

Justice League Rebirth feels like a continuation of a title that was never fully told. You shouldnt hold that against it though, and just accept Justice League Rebirth for what it is. The script is decent and the art is excellent, and that should be enough for readers to at least give it a chance.

Extraordinary X-Men has been a book that has struggled with its identity and that continues here. Its hard not to feel like this isnt a series or storyline that weve read before. Jeff Lemire is a talented writer, but this hasnt been a good platform for his talents. The art is hit or miss and is more likely more miss. If youre a casual reader, this may be an okay series for you, but if youre a die-hard X-fan, its far fromanything special.

Justice League #52wont blow your mind or make you re-think how you read a superhero comic, but it is a nice end to a title run. Things get wrapped up and the possibilities of new adventures ahead seems promising. Dan Jurgens and company send this book out on a good note that should satisfy everyone whos been reading it consistently.

The Flash: Rebirth #1 was a fun read that had decent art in it. Joshua Williamson gave readers an interesting first issue that should get fans coming back. While the art wasnt perfect, it was good enough and shouldnt ruin the issue for you. This is an issue that ties directly into the rebirth one-shot. Any fan who wants to know what is going with DC should pick up this book.

Green Lanterns Rebirth #1 was a pretty good read. It probably wont blow you away or floor you, but it should absolutely get you interested in what is going to happen next. The script by Geoff Johns and Sam Humphries is intriguing enough and its good to see some underused characters get a chance to shine. The pencils and colors are done well in every sense of the word. If you dont like the story, the art alone is worth $2.99.

Superman #52 is a wonderful send off for a series that had a rocky existence. Peter Tomasi writes an emotional issue that will make even the toughest readers depressed. The art is downright killer and everyone involved put in an A+ effort. This is an issue worth reading.

Old Man Logan continues to be a must read book. Everything about it just flows naturally and gracefully off the page. Jeff Lemires characterization is spot on for Logan and the most interesting Wolverine he'sbeen in years. There isnt much more to say about Sorrentino and Maiolo other than they are simply rock stars. This is a series that should be read, or at least given a fair shot, by everyone.

Uncanny Inhumans has been a surprisingly decent book from Marvel, regardless of what the sales say. Charles Soule has done a good job in making this title accessible and easy to get into. His writing has been fun and on point. The art took a step back this issue, but Kev Walker may just need to find his groove with these characters. If you havent already, give Uncanny Inhumans a shot, its worth a read.

Uncanny X-Men is consistently one of Marvels best books available. The Angel plot wasnt that interesting this issue but it may heat up next month. If nothing else, have faith in Cullen Bunn. The pencils and colors were very good and this book has benefited from having some great art in it. If youre an X-Men fan and youre not picking up Uncanny X-Men, youre missing out on a potentially classic run from a writer that loves the characters.

All-New Wolverine has been a fun read of late. Tom Taylor must be finding his stride with these characters, because things are starting to click. The pencils and colors are about as good as weve seen them on this title. If this kind of consistency keeps up, this will be one of Marvels better titles.

This was a pretty solid issue, but it wasnt without its problems. The story was engaging and for the most part the art was better. Hopefully this can be a turning point for a series that definitely needs it.

This wasnt a bad issue; it just wasnt anything too exciting. Dan Slott writes everyone well enough, but this storyline just isnt all that interesting. The art on the other hand has been very good and helps boost the enjoyment of the issue.

Were six issues in now and if youre not reading Uncanny X-Men you are missing out. This is consistently a great read and there hasnt been a disappointing issue yet. Bunn succeeds in making every character a likable one. The art, even after switching out pencilers, doesnt miss a beat thanks to Lashley's skill and Woodards' continued mastery. This is a top-3 Marvel title.

JLA is wrapping up, but when you read this series as a whole it will impress you. Bryan Hitch did a fine job on writing duties and an even better job on the pencils. He gets some good help from Alex Sinclair and Daniel Henriques along the way as well. JLA may not be a series that stands out to many readers, but it is a series worth reading.

Uncanny X-Men continues to be impressive. There wasnt a bad issue in this first arc and everyone involved should get a ton of credit. Cullen Bunn told a very dark tale that sets the bar for the rest of the series moving forward and the art has been spectacular, making reading and experiencing the series extremely easy. This is a book that should absolutely be in you pull list.

Extraordinary X-Men still has a long way to go before it can dig out from mediocrity. This series has been slow and for the most part uninteresting. We keep waiting for Jeff Lemire to deliver a great issue and weve already waited too long. The pencils are serviceable at times, but nothing spectacular. This is still the least impressive X-book on the shelves.

Uncanny Avengers could have been a book that is easily forgotten, but the past couple of issues have really made a case for it being one of the better books in Marvel's stable, if not the best. Gerry Duggan is getting comfortable with the characters and its showing on the page. The art has consistently improved as the series moves forward. This series isnt a fluff book that can be blown off, but a series on the rise.

Uncanny X-Men has been great so far, and Bunn, Land, Woodard and co. have fans believing Marvel isnt mistreating the X-Men. This series has exceeded expectations and it seems like Bunn has a solid, well-thought outplan laid out for some of our favorite mutants. Greg Land is doing some of the best work of his career and being teamed with Nolan Woodard and inker Jay Leisten has really helped round out his art. If you arent satisfied after reading this book, there is no pleasing you.

If youre honestly not reading Saga at this point, you are really missing out. This is consistently one of the best written, drawn, and colored books on the shelves. Its hard not to get invested in every character due to the work Vaughan and Staples do on a monthly basis.

Extraordinary X-Men #7 is another decent issue, but nothing that will amaze you. Jeff Lemire is leaning too much on what Cyclops did and it is hurting this series. The strong showing in the art department makes this issue more enjoyable, but the story needs a few tweaks for this series to be considered a flagship book.

Old Man Logan has been an impressive series so far. Jeff Lemire has come up with a good concept and has written everyone extremely well. There really isnt much more you can say about the art. It elevates the story to a level rarely seen in comics.

All-New X-Men has some characterization problems, but it is still a very fun read and should keep you entertained. Dennis Hopeless has built an interesting premise as the young X-Men hop from place to place, stopping crime before it happens. The art is one of the strongest things about this particular book, and it continues to improve each issue. If youre not enjoying All-New X-Men, there's something wrong.

Swamp Thing is back and has been great so far. If there is anyone who knows how to get the character back to his horror roots, its Len Wein. The art is creepy and effective, but does have some spots where things are too big. Overall, this is a book that should satisfy anyone who reads it.

Without a doubt Uncanny X-Men is the X-book to read. No other book in the lineup comes close to matching the quality so far. Cullen Bunn is writing so many of these characters so well that they all become your favorites. The art team has been the best in the X-line so far and it doesnt look like any other group will be beating them anytime soon.

All-New, All-Different Avengers hasnt been all that impressive. This issue was filler and wasnt that exciting. Mark Waid is an excellent writer and has shown the capacity to right theship time and again; perhaps hes just finding his footing. The art this issue was decent, but there were definitely some miscues. As one of Marvels big books, this series needs to step it up or it will be easily forgotten.

This is the best issue of Extraordinary X-Men yet. Lemire has given us a more interesting premise for the story and he writes it well. The art team has come out and put together the best art this series has seen so far. If this keeps up Extraordinary X-Men could be back to getting on track and being the first book read off of the pull list.

Uncanny Inhumans has been interesting enough; Charles Soule is a good writer that should keep your interest piqued, especially for at least another arc. The art on this book is just superb. You wont find better art on a series this week.

Uncanny X-Men is definitely the X-book to beat. Cullen Bunn has the most original storyline out of the bunch and he writes these characters very well. Greg Land has improved on the art from last issue and will hopefully build on that. This isnt just one of the best X-books, its one of Marvels best books after the re-launch.

All-New X-Men is the lightest of the re-launched titles. Its a fun story that focuses on the younger students as they try to survive in a time that isnt theirs. Dennis Hopeless has made this an enjoyable book so far, but should try harder to get everyone involved more. The art is good and adds to the playful tone of the series. This is the X-Men book that anyone can pick up and enjoy.

Extraordinary X-Men had an opportunity to be something different and exciting, but instead just rehashed a tired old storyline. Jeff Lemire has one arc out of the way and will need to amaze people with his next arc if he wants fans to stick around. The art department is decent but nothing to write home about. This book needs to get it together soon, because fans wont hang around for mediocrity.

A-Force #1 is an all around great book. The script and perspective by G. Willow Wilson makes this a fun read for any fan that may pick this issue up. The art by Jorge Molina and Laura Martin is excellent and should be used as a blueprint for any other book on the shelf. There is a certain level of cohesion with this title that is hardly matched by other books.

Out of the two major X-titles right now, Uncanny X-Men has a leg up. Cullen Bunn turns in a good script that should keep fans excited for who and what comes next. The art a nice complement to the story and at times jumps off the page at you. A good introductory issue for Uncanny X-Men.

Squadron Supreme is off to a very good start. James Robinson has put together another good series that is engaging and fun to read. The pencils by Leonard Kirk help paint the picture for this world that Robinson envisioned, and with the help of Frank Martin, it looks wonderful so far.

Superman Annual #3 is a very good read for anyone who loves Superman. A depressed Clark is an interesting Clark, and these writers know that. The art has its pros and cons, which happens when a book splits artists. That is not a deal breaker though and this is one of the better annuals to come out in a while. DC got it right this year.

Bryan Hitch is back and all is well with the JLA. The writing is good for the most part, and the art is amazing. Alex Sinclair gets a lot of credit here as well. The rapport that he has with Hitch is really what makes this a different kind of DC book.

This has been Lemires best issue of Extraordinary X-Men, unfortunately the art didnt match that. The story is finally starting to get interesting and Lemire is getting a grip on some of the characters. Humberto Ramos and Edgar Delgado need to step back and take their time. There were many panels that could have used a little more work. Despite the sub par effort from the art, this is the best issue of the series so far.

Batman Europa #2 is a decent read, but it is not without its flaws. The writing by Azzarello and Casali is fun and the chemistry between Batman and Joker is great. The pencils and colors are where there could be some consistency and improvements. Its not bad by any means, just different. $4.99 is a high price for a book that is just alright.

All-New X-Men #2 is a fun book that should be a nice easy read. Dennis Hopeless has some skill with these younger characters and its showing in his writing. The art by Bagley and Woodard is light and allows this to be the book where you dont have to think about death and extinction. If youre not in the mood for dark and mysterious, this is a book for you.

Uncanny Avengers is off to a pretty mediocre start so far. Everything is just okay. The story or the art doesnt really stand out and there is nothing that makes this a must read book. The cast is cool, but they need a better story to go along with them.

You really cant complain about Guardians of the Galaxy. Many of the things that haunt Bendis, like slow-moving plots, and over-lapping dialogue are non-existent in this series so far. The art has been superb and has looked electric. This issue was action packed and should be a good read for anyone who buys it.

There is really no other way to say this, but Totally Awesome Hulk was totally awesome. Greg Pak made Amadeus Cho a likable character. Hes funny and quick-witted and all around fun. There really cant be enough said about the pencils and colors. This is some of the best art on a Hulk book in years. This is a series for anyone and everyone.

This series still hasnt quite found its legs, and, truth be told, it has not been that exciting either. Jeff Lemire better turn out a great issue soon or else fans may flock to Uncanny X-Men. The art has been fine so far, but it would benefit from a little more consistency in some areas. Extraordinary X-Men, so far,has not been that extraordinary.

It cant be stated enough that Saga is without a doubt one of the best books on the shelf. Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona staples are really making magic with this series. Regardless of which characters the issue focuses on, youll always be entertained. Saga is a comics juggernaut.

Uncanny Inhumans #2 is a better book then the first issue. Charles Soule is giving us an interesting story so far and we should be warming up to some of these characters. The art on this book is simply stunning. McNiven and Gho rock the pages and make this book look great. You have to hand it to Marvel, they are making the Inhumans interesting.

Extraordinary X-Men #2 is an improvement over the first issue. The hard thing about this series is that we want answers and we want them now. Jeff Lemire will eventually give them to us, we just have to be patient. The art has been very good so far and can hopefully continue to be consistent. Extraordinary X-Men wont blow you away, but you shouldnt be disappointed either.

All-New All-Different Avengers is another re-launch from Marvel. The good news is that its pretty decent and worth a read. Mark Waid doesnt generally disappoint and the art is well done by all involved.

This was an underwhelming first issue. X-23 was portrayed fine, but the story wasnt exciting enough. As stated above, Tom Taylor should have a grace period to get things together, but this wasnt the best introductory issue. The art was all right but seemed off for such a dark title. Overall, if youre a fan of the character youre going to pick this up, but if youre on the fence, it may not be a great investment.

Extraordinary X-Men #1 wasnt anything particularly epic. It was a decent intro that will more than likely take time to build up. Jeff Lemire was fine in his debut as an X-writer, but he didnt wow us like Joss Whedon on Astonishing X-Men. The art team carried the book for this first issue and should look to build on a strong performance.

For all the wait us fanboys and girls had, this really didnt live up to expectations. Things are left open-ended and we still have no idea what happened to Cyclops or Emma Frost. These big anniversary issues are usually filler anyway. Bendis Uncanny X-Men run does come to a close, and that could be a good or bad thing for some. He didnt have the impact he did on other titles, but it wasnt terrible either. If nothing else, hopefully youll have been entertained during some of it.

Story wise, this is a bit of a let down. The plot for this issue is a bit cheesy, but its enjoyable enough. The main topic of conversation should be about the artwork. Porter and Hi-Fi really do make this book look a lot nicer and deserve a ton of credit. If you can get over the goofiness of the story, you should be able to enjoy yourself.

There definitely is something “all-new and all-different” about New Avengers:its that the book is bad. Al Ewing is capable of a lot better than what we saw in these first two issues. The art leaves a ton to be desired and looks too much like a manga book. I have no idea how Marvel can fix this, but they need to figure it out fast.

This is by no means a bad book, its actually pretty enjoyable, but this is just a rehash of everything the mutants have already gone through. You could honestly switch Black Bolt and Cyclops and it wouldnt matter. Marvel is trying to push these characters on us, but they dont have an original story yet. The art was very good and gave this book a good vibe. In order to be successful, Uncanny Inhumans need to distance themselves from the mutants.

Some of these Secret War tie-ins have had disappointing ends, but Age of Apocalypse is very satisfying. You wont find many complaints from X-Men fans when Fabian Nicieza is on a book, and there arent really any in this issue. The art is better than itsever been and the book looks great. This was a fun book that will leave you feeling satisfied after you read it.

As far as opening issues go, Uncanny Avengers was decent. It won't blow you away, but it probably won't be the worst thing you read this week. Gerry Duggan did a fine job with many of the new team members and should look to build on that. The art could be better, but this is a first issue and Stegman needs to get comfortable drawing many of these characters. This issue is worth a read, but still needs some work to really take off.

This honestly is an awesome and explosive book, but the delay kills any momentum it may ever have. The delay is inexcusable and will alienate casual and hardcore fans. The writing and art really shine on this series, but if it comes out once a year its meaningless. Hopefully this series will get back on track soon, because Day Men is definitely a title worth reading.

As we say goodbye to another mini-series, this is one that should have fans excited. Old Man Logan in the regular Marvel Universe should make for a ton of great interactions. Brian Michael Bendis did some good things with this series and definitely paved the way for this character to be a favorite again. The art has been consistently good throughout the entire run and the credit absolutely goes to Sorrentino and Maiolo. This was a pretty good book that may bring around people who arent Bendis fans.

As far as preview books go, this was all right. There are some hits in here, but there also appears to be some misses. Avengers #0 is honestly a book that you don't really need to buy, and with a $5.99 price tag, it would be difficult to blame anyone for passing. This is a book for people who haven't paid attention to the Marvel Universe last year.

This is a disappointing end to a promising series. The first three issues were interesting, but unfortunately pacing problems and a bad ending ruin this issue. The art was serviceable, but could use a bit of improvement in some areas. Overall this is a series that will fly under the radar and probably be forgotten.

X-Men 92 is a book that took me by surprise. The writing was very good and its clear the Sims and Bowers will take good care of your favorite mutants. The art was decent but spotty at times, but Matt Millas colors were on point. This is a series that can rejuvenate your faith in the X-Men.

As we wrap up yet another tie-in, we continue to wait for the main series to make any progress. Marguerite Bennett has had her hands in several books for this event and has been very successful. Years of Future Past may not wow you, but you will walk away feeling fulfilled.

X-Tinction Agenda was a pretty interesting series. Marc Guggenheim did a solid job on the scriptand he also gave some forgotten mutants a chance to shine. While the pencils had their share of problems, the colors helped make the art work for the story. If you were a fan of the original crossover, you wont be disappointed by this.

You could honestly make the argument that this Age of Apocalypse mini-series has been one of the better written X-Men books in a while. Fabian Nicieza really has done a great job with this cast and title. The voice many of these characters have has been spot on. The art has improved a lot this issue and Iban Coello has shown he can ball. The conclusion should be another wonderful trip down memory lane.

As far as comics go, this is a very good read. As far as comics based on movies go, this is excellent. Shawn Gabborin turns in a great script that captures many of the things that made the movies fun in the first place. The art by Michela Da Sacco is a wonderful addition to the good writing. Puppet Master #1 should make people go back and watch these movies again. Action Lab has a hit on its hands.

Without a doubt, this current run on Action Comics is the best its been in a while. Greg Pak understands Superman and writes him as well as anybody has in years. The art from Aaron Kuder and Tomeu Morey is some of the best out in a book this week. These guys love what they do and it shows in every panel. Any die-hard Superman fan should be reading this book.

The Walking Dead continues to be one of the best books to come out each month. Robert Kirkman is a wizard with his pen and keeps finding ways to keep us hooked. The art for this book continues to be close to perfect. There is a reason why this comic continues to be a top seller month after month and it has everything to do with the creative team.

Deadpool Vs. Thanos may seem like a joke of a book, but its the funniest joke you'll read in a while. Tim Seeley really delivers a good script and hell have you laughing from cover to cover. The art is very good and complementary to the writing. Bondoc and Redmond work well together and the book is all the better for it. If you need a pick me up this week, make itDeadpool Vs. Thanos.

Age of Apocalypse is still a fun ride because of Fabian Niciezas writing. It would help if the characters werent exaggerated, but were 3 issues in now and that wont change. If you can get past that, its worth a read because many of your favorite characters are well represented.

As far as capturing a time period goes, X-Men 92 nails it. Sims and Bowers get so many things right about this age of the X-Men that should have any fanboy smiling. The art is a bit (lame pun) sketchy, but Matt Milla kills it with his colors. This is a book for people who loved 90s X-Men and its a great opportunity to go back with a fresh story.

If you're looking for a DC book to read, JLA is recommended. It's only three issues in and has been a blast so far. The art of Bryan Hitch may be a huge selling point, but the writing and story has been good so far too. The colors by Alex Sinclair rock and add so much to the pencils by Hitch. This is a book for people who like epic stories.

X-Tinction Agenda has been getting better with each passing issue. Marc Guggenheim has been writing good material and making little used characters cool. The art department had a decent showing, but there is definitely some room for improvement. As we wind down on this series, fans of the original and people who haven't read it, should be able to enjoy what Guggenheim and company have accomplished.

The Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows has been very good so far. This issue has set up the conclusion nicely and we'll get to see who makes it out alive. Dan Slott has done a good job with this series and should earn a little more respect from those who dislike his work. The art has been consistent and it's paired with an awesome colorist. Hopefully the conclusion will be as exciting as the events that led us there.

A-Force #3 is a can't miss issue. This series has been extremely fun and this was the best issue to date.

Years of Future Past has been one of the most consistent mini's to come out of this event. Marguerite Bennett brings consistent writing to the table along with steady character work. The art has been very good and quite underrated as well. This is one of the books flying under the radar, and it really shouldn't be.

This has been an extremely fun series so far. Fabian Nicieza hasn't missed a beat with any of these characters and can honestly do no wrong. The art had a few problems, mostly with over exaggerated body parts, but overall it's good. The story is really starting to get moving this issue and we are getting glimpses of things to come. Age of Apocalypse is the best it's been since the 90's!

As we near the Ultimate End of this series, we have to hope something fun will happen. This issue really didnt help any, which shouldnt surprise people who read the first three. Brian Michael Bendis is better than this. This issue is just not good enough. The art is a nice little boost but it can't pull Ultimate End #4 out of the gutter.

This was a well written issue, but the art hinders it from being better. Chris Sims and Chad Bowers have proven they can handle these characters and handle them well. Scott Koblish seemed like he may have been rushed this issue, but there is some room for improvement with the pencils. Overall this continues to be a fun ride down nostalgia lane.

This is the weakest issue in the series so far, but Brian Michael Bendis is a good enough writer that you shouldnt worry. Even if you didnt like the story, the art was still pretty killer. We will all just have to wait and see if the series can rebound from its first mediocre issue.

Uncanny X-Men has been slowly chugging along with several delays along the way. This seems like a book that just isnt going to end any time soon. Blame shouldnt be placed on Bendis because hes had to change-up a few things due to editorial. His writing this issue was fairly good and it was nice to see some of the younger members use their powers and take the spotlight. The art was the strongest its been in a while and the colors by Richard Isanov are flat-out great. Hope you got your X-Men fill though, because there is no telling when the next issue will be out.

Guardians of Knowhere is a thrilling story so far. Brian Michael Bendis continues to write good stories with characters we care about. The art team really did a wonderful job this issue and stole the spotlight, but that will happen when you have a great team like Deodato and Martin. This series is off to a fast start that should get better as it moves forward.

Its gotten to the point where reviews arent even necessary for this book because its so consistently good. Matt Hawkins and Bryan Hill continue to craft an intriguing tale that captivates readers every month. The art team is outstanding and depicts so much beauty in such a dark and twisted tale. Postal is one of the best books on the shelf.

For a comic like JLA, having a good first arc is a huge deal because it could easily be a book readers will drop. Brian Hitch is doing his best to make sure that doesnt happen. Hes doing double duty and doing them both well. The story or the art hasnt suffered so far and its been a very engaging read. As long as this book can come out on time, this will be a good series for a long while.

So far this has been one of the most enjoyable tie-ins to Secret Wars. Even though this is only the first issue it feels like weve been here before thanks to the continuity in writing by Fabian Nicieza. The art looks spectacular so far and will hopefully continue to grow with the series. This is a very good start to one of the most iconic X-Men stories.

X-Tinction Agenda #2 was a better issue than the first one. Marc Guggenheim seems to be finding his footing and is setting up a pretty good story. The pencils have improved from the last issue and will probably get better as each book comes out. This may not be one of the huge tie-ins, but it has been a very entertaining one.

Years of Future Past #2

Marvel has really been putting out some great books for the battle worlds. E for Extinction was a book with no expectations and it turned out to be incredibly enjoyable. Chris Burnham appears to have talent in the writing and drawing department because this was a great introductory issue. The art is gross and dark, but it keeps with the tone of the book and really compliments the story. This is a series that may take you by surprise, so pick it up if you can.

If you are craving a return to the 90s books, X-Men 92 is absolutely for you. Sims and Bowers absolutely capture the personalities and times of these X-Men and really kick up the nostalgia. The art is pretty good and it does the job for the story. This was an awesome issue that will bring you right back to being a kid. Feel free to listen to X-Men the animated series theme song before you open the issue; it will make this read even better.

The third issue of The Tithe is excellent and had an extremely strong ending. People are starting to die and essentially all bets are off at this point. Matt Hawkins has been killing it with some superb writing. The art continues to be well done with colors that are fitting to the style. The conclusion of this arc should be pretty epic.

Old Man Logan really has been one of the best tie-in books for the Secret Wars event. Brian Michael Bendis is turning in some of his best work with this series. His run on Uncanny X-Man may get scrutinized, but you really cant trash him for Old Man Logan. The art has been nothing short of outstanding. Sorrentino and Maiolo have been great and make this mini even better. This is the bar for what tie-ins must live up to.

As an introductory issue, this could absolutely alienate some fans due to the treatment of the Supreme Power team. Marc Guggenheim has never been afraid of taking chances and he takes a big one in this book. The art by Pacheco and Martin is very good and helps make this book a decent read. There are some interesting elements in place here, and Guggenheim is a good enough writer to give us a nice payoff.

Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps is a title that may take you by surprise. The writing team of Kelly Sue DeConnick and Kelly Thompson do a nice job of setting the tone for the rest of the series. We also get a glimpse of characters who start to doubt Lord Doom. The art by David Lopez is fine and a compliment to the tone of the story. There were a few rough spots but overall he did well with the issue.

The next arc of New Suicide Squad has started and it continues to be one of the more entertaining books on the shelf. Whether you liked the initial run or not, Sean Ryan is really making this a good series for fans new and old. The art has picked up from the last arc, but there are a few areas where it could use a touch up. Overall this should be the start of another solid arc for an underrated DC title.

Midnighter #1 was surprisingly very good. Sometimes these first solo issues can be a bit rough, but Steve Orlando wrote a very good script. The art had a couple of confusing panels, but overall the pencils and colors added to the enjoyment of the book. If issue 2 is this good, this could a hit with critics and fanboys alike.

X-Tinction Agenda #1 was a pretty good read that feels like a continuation of the original cross over. Marc Guggenheim set up a cool introductory issue that has the potential to be very thrilling. The pencils could use a bit of work, but they shouldnt take you out of the book. Overall this was another great tie-in to Secret War.

As far as tie-in books go, Old Man Logan pretty much rocked. Its not often you get to see someone get their foot cut off in a Marvel book, but you do in this one. Brian Michael Bendis wrote a very good first issue that should make everyone an even bigger fan of this alt-world Logan. The art and colors propel the book from very good to great. This is the tie-in to beat so far.

Inferno #1 is a pretty good read that will make you want to pick up the next issue. Dennis Hopeless writes a strong first issue that should satisfy fans of the original story. The art is fine for the most part, but at times feels too optimistic. Javier Garron has a good resume with demons and other beings, so hopefully he can get a better grasp on the X-Men.

Issue #4 of Postal is another good one, as usual. The writing team of Bryan Hill and Matt Hawkins continue to craft a well thought out and interesting story that continues to engage readers. You honestly couldnt ask for better pencils on this book then what Isaac Goodhart provides. His work, along with Betsy Gonia give this series the exclamation point that puts it over the edge. Another great issue from a standout team.

Just because this was a one and done story doesnt mean it was filler. Things actually happened this issue and they were important. Bendis is pulling out some of his best work on the series in these last few issues, which will hopefully make #600 epic. Kris Anka did a fine job with this book, but it wouldnt hurt if he showed a little more detail from time to time. Uncanny X-Men #34 is a nice surprise read this week, so dont miss out.

The bar for Secret War tie-ins is pretty high because the event is extremely good. Ultimate End isnt the greatest start to a series, but there is a ton of room to grow. Brian Michael Bendis is a writer that has done it all with these characters and can no doubt make this an interesting story. Mark Bagley looks like he never quit drawing these characters and continues to shine with his work at Marvel. While this wasnt the best opener, it should get another chance because Bendis and Bagley do excellent work together.

This was a slower issue with hardly any fight scenes, but it was still entertaining. That is absolutely a testament to how good the creative team is on this book. Staples and Vaughan continue to weave their intergalactic story at a high level.

Secret Wars #1 was a great issue that was a lot to live up to. Its not fair to judge the second issue the same way because its essentially a different book that deals with different characters. If you take the second book for what it is, then you will like it. Jonathan Hickman writes a very good set up issue that should please most fans. If you didnt like the story this issue the art should absolutely win you over. Secret Wars #2 is a success as an issue that sets us up for the big payoff down the road.

This event is almost over and it honestly cant come soon enough. This story continues to drag along with drab dialogue and terrible pacing. I cant recall a time since 1991 when Ive been this turned off from a series. Maybe this is DC telling Jeff King what to do, but there has got to be a better way to tell this story. At this point, no one should be reading this event.

This is how an event should start. Hickman blew the gates off of this issue and laid down the bar for every event issue in the future. Great writing mixed with great art and even better build up makes Secret Wars a cant miss read!

This has been a pretty disappointing event so far and it most likely wont get any better. The audience keeps waiting around for something important to happen and we havent had any payoff four issues in. If youre not that invested in this series, you can probably skip it and pick up the DC titles after the event ends.

Superman #40 wasnt a groundbreaking issue, but it was definitely a fun read. It was nice to see the Justice League get the chance to pal around as ordinary people. John Romita Jr. did a nice job on both parts of this book and should be proud of himself. Hopefully this level of consistency can continue in the book and give readers the Superman they deserve.

This could have been a disaster of an issue, but Bendis wrote the controversial scene well. Many of the people who have a problem with this havent actually read the book and only read the headlines. The art has continued to get better, but could still use a tiny bit more work. This was a solid and fun issue from a book that has consistently been great.

This issue was very good and it moved us along plot wise. Bryan Hill and Matt Hawkins are really doing a wonderful job on this series so far. The art by Goodhart and Gonia has been outstanding since the first issue and will hopefully continue as the series progresses. Postal may not be a book youre familiar with, but it should be.

Introductory issues have to hook a reader or they may pass on the book, and The Tithe should be able to snag readers. Matt Hawkins is putting together a nice streak of good book lately and this should be added to the list. Rahsan Ekedal did great work on this issue and certainly looks to have a bright future in the business. The Tithe is a book that deserves a read, the good writing and excellent art will keep you coming back.

As far as filler issues go, this one was all right. It probably wont be the best book you read, but it definitely wont be the worst. Its clear that Bendis is getting his pieces in order for the big issue coming up. The art is a little better the normal, but this could have been a stronger issue from Anka.

All-New Hawkeye delivers a good second issue story wise, but the art may turn people off. Jeff Lemire is a man who knows how to appeal to fans and get them excited for a book. The art is hit or miss and it could turn some people off, but the story should be good enough to keep fans of the character around.

As The Walking Dead goes on, it continues to impress. This wasnt the best issue in the series, but it was still engaging in large part to the writing and art. Robert Kirkman is a man who knows how to write good and likable characters. Charlie Adlards work is always amazing and one of the reasons this book is so great. The Walking Dead remains a must read every week.

Convergence #0 doesnt seem like it really needed to be made. It essentially set up the series in two pages, which probably could have been done in Futures End or Earth 2. Dan Jurgens and Jeff King didnt do a terrible job, but this is honestly an unnecessary book. The one redeeming quality comes from the art and colors by Ethan Van Sciver and Marcel Maiolo. If you find the price tag a little too steep, feel free to pass on this.

As a series finale, John Layman turned in a pretty fun book. His work on this series has really shaped Teen Scott and will help him continue to grow moving forward. The pencils and colors were fine as well and they brought Laymans script to life. Cyclops was a fun ride while it lasted and the entire team deserves a pat on the back for making it an enjoyable book.

Uncanny Inhumans #0 is a solid introductory issue to some of the major players, but it probably wont make you forget about the X-Men. Charles Soule writes a script that is easy for readers to follow and pretty friendly to newbies. The art is the real MVP of the issue, as McNiven and Ponsor straight up kick butt. This is worth a read even if you have no interest in the Inhumans.

As this series winds down, things are starting to take shape for many of the mutants. Its a shame we dont get more time though, Bendis was starting to do some interesting things with the characters. The art wont knock your socks off, but its serviceable. This particular issue was a little on the depressing side, but being a mutant isnt always sunshine and margaritas.

Guardians of the Galaxy #25 was a pretty good issue that was worth the extra money. Brian Michael Bendis is a wizard with so many of these characters that you would have to try pretty hard not to like this book. The pencils by Valerio Schiti and colors by Jason Keith just push this issue over the top. An excellent effort from everyone who was involved.

Teen Titans has really turned around and become an interesting book. Each month we question what is going to happen and what Manchester Black is going to do. Will Pfeifer and Kenneth Rocafort are doing great work on a title that wasnt too well received a year ago. If the writing and art can keep up, this will be a one of the best volumes in recent memory.

As we get further along in the Black Vortex crossover, it seems to keep getting better. Brian Michael Bendis is the latest writer to put out a really good issue, but its not shocking since the whole event has been a thrill to read so far. The art has been pretty stunning as well, none better than Sorrentino and Maiolo. This event has been a joy to read and look at.

Howard the Duck will probably surprise you with how good it is. Chip Zdarsky turned in a really funny script that will make you cackle and smile at least a few times. The art by Joe Quinones and Rico Renzi fits the story telling well and really makes you nostalgic. Overall this was a good read and more importantly, it was fun.

For a stand alone issue, this was pretty good. Brian Michael Bendis didnt phone anything in and actually gave us a book that has some substance. The colors and pencils by Mike Del Mundo work well with the story and are a welcome addition. This issue was a little late, but had enough good character moments and art to let it slide.

Postal #2 did not disappoint by any means and probably added to the wonderfulness of the first issue. Hawkins and Hill are writing one of the most underrated books on the shelf. Isaac Goodhart is crushing it in the art department and is laying down pencils that are rivaled by very few people in the industry. Postal is definitely worth a read!

Saga continues to be one of the best titles on store shelves. Between the superb writing of Brian K. Vaughan and the wonderful art by Fiona Staples, fans are treated to one of the most original and imaginative stories in the past ten years. This is a team that truly loves what they are doing and it shows every issue.

Even though this is the end of the series, its by no means the end of these characters. There is a lot of potential with many of these guys and they will surely be back. Dan Jurgens did a wonderful job and put together a fun series for 11 issues. Aquaman and the Others may be over, but Jurgens has left an imprint on the characters and readers alike.

Black Vortex has been a surprising cross over. Brian Michael Bendis injects his style and humor into this issue and moves the plot along nicely. The pencils and colors are (lame pun) out of this world and enhance the book exponentially. This is honestly one of the better events from Marvel in quite some time.

As far as introductory issues go, this was outstanding. The writing and pencils were extremely good and this should be a story anyone can pick up and enjoy. It almost seems like the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but with a robot in place of Ben Stillers character. D4VEis by far one of the best reads of the week.

Amazing Spider-Man has been decent under Slott's pen, but as a whole this was a fun event. Slott showed that he can do some wonderful things with many characters and has the chops to write them well. The art team knocked it out of the park this issue and really captured the mood of the various endings. Happy and sad collided here, and Camuncoli and Ponsor captured it perfectly.

This has been the best issue of the story arc and possibly one of Bendis best on Uncanny X-Men. His writing was very good here and things fell into place nicely. Chris Bachalo also turned in a great performance with his artwork. This was a great issue all the way around from the team. Next month cant come soon enough!

As the Black Vortex moves along, it continues to get better. Sam Humphries has turned in the best of the event so far and has set the bar. The art by Medina and Curiel will also be tough to top as they really turned in a well drawn and colored book. Here's hoping the next issue will be as good as the Legendary Star-Lord.

Plunder #1 was a surprisingly good read. It had a few flaws and some glitches in the art, but overall it was enjoyable. If youre a fan of horror comics this is definitely worth a look and even if you're not and it's a slow week for you, give it a shot.

All-New X-Men is still behind schedule, but Bendis has put together a pretty good story arc here. There was a ton of expectation for this arc and they may not have been met by some, but if you take it for the fun journey it was, youll have a good time. Mahmud Asrar continues to grow on this title and can honestly become a very good artist in the future, but he still has some work to do. All in all, this wasnt an earth shattering story, but it was an enjoyable one.

As the series winds down, this was a bit of a fast issue. Aquaman and the Others has been fun and the work of Dan Jurgens has been the main reason why. Even though this wasnt the best issue, it was still better than other junky books on the shelves today. Hopefully this crew will send it out with a nice farewell.

The introduction to Black Vortex was a bit underwhelming. The story shouldnt really wow anyone and if you are buying this book its because you read one of the characters involved regularly. The art had some solid panels but would be better if it were handled by one penciler if possible. Overall it feels like a gimmick to boost sales rather than tell a decent story.

Postal is a book that took me by surprise and really wowed me. The writing is incredibly interesting and well done. The art and colors are very fitting for the book and make it much more enjoyable. This is a book that needs to be read by anyone who likes good stories!

Even though this series is getting cancelled, James Robinson and crew are still putting their best effort to send it out on a high note. Many things are great about this series, but the work and dedication by everyone involved show how much they love what they are doing. A big kudos to the team at All-New Invaders on a job well done.

Were ready to move on from this story arc, and we still havent finished Xaviers will. Bendis has done some good things with this series, but this issue could have been better. Chris Bachalo had some nice pencils this issue and hopefully he will continue to draw like the pro that he is. The X-Men may not be united at the moment, but nothing brings people together like a resurrection.

Delays are something that can kill a book and this story arc is hurting because of it. If when you pick up a book you dont remember what happened last issue, you have a problem. Bendis has to start getting the ball rolling on this; slow burns are fine, but when a book has a delay like this one has, they tend to get lost. Mahmud Asrar also needs to continue to improve on his art. This month saw a lapse in his progress, but he can easily get back in readers good graces. Hopefully All-New X-Men will get back on schedule and finish this arc before it causes any more problems.

While there were a few slower moments this issue, a good cliffhanger and fantastic art make this a good read. The Finchs work great together and it shows on the page. Meredith and David need to keep up the good work and continue to make Wonder Woman one of the best characters in the New 52.

Cyclops continues to be an impressive book each month. I keep waiting for it to dip in quality, but it never does. Everything about this series, from the words to the pencils has been wonderful. Layman and Garron are putting in great work and really fleshing Scott out. Kudos to a job well done for everyone involved.

Another great issue from one of the best tandems to ever take over Daredevil. Its getting to the point that if youre not reading this book, youre really only hurting yourself. Waid and Samnee have secured their place in the Daredevil mythos with this masterful run on the title.

Feathers is a fun read if youre in the mood for something different. Its a book you could read to your kids, but also might enjoy yourself. While there were some odd things going on during the writing portion, the art is a breath of fresh air. Jorge Corona did a good job in this first issue and wrote an interesting story that could be enjoyed by all.

With the end of the arc fast approaching, we wait patiently for the post-Axis stories to start. Brian Michael Bendis definitely has big plans in store for the Uncanny X-Men but we have to get through this first. Chris Bachalo has picked up his game this issue and turned in his best work of the arc. The anticipation is starting to mount for readers as we patiently wait for Bendis to take us into the next phase of the series.

Teen Titans has definitely become a better book since Will Pfeifer took over. He brings realism and anidentifiablefeelto many of the characters he writes. The art by Scott Hepburn is fine, but he could use a bit more style in his work. Teen Titans has certainly done a 180 and its the best its been since Geoff Johns was on the book.

This was a decent issue, but nothing that will knock your socks off. The cliffhanger at the end is a bit weak, but if youre reading this book youre going to be back next month anyway. There is still a lot to uncover in this arc as Bendis and Asrar literally show us what happens when worlds collide.

As the series winds down we are seeing everything come to shape. This issue will definitely have some consequences that will linger in the Marvel Universe moving forward. Rick Remender is continuing his fine job on this mini, but the art holds this issue back. With only two more issues to go I cant wait to see what Remender has up his sleeve.

Brian Michael Bendis writing both Uncanny X-Men and All-New X-Men allows him to stretch this annual out to two different titles. After reading the first part readers should have been entertained and curious for what happens next. The art and colors were top-notch as this issue was very well done. Part two cant come soon enough.

In comics these days its hard to get second chances. Secret Six didnt come off as anything new or special, but Gail Simone alone is a good enough reason to give it a second chance. Shes very talented and turns everything she writes into an entertaining tale. The art struggled this issue but Ken Lashley is a very capable artist. He may be trying out a different style, but he has all the skills to get the art on par with Simones writing. Secret Six may not wow you with the first issue, but it is worth a read.

Ghost is a strong character in a book that doesnt get as much love as it should. Chris Sebela is putting some realistic real world issues into his stories that are worth a read. The art is top notch as Tolibao and Jackson turn out good work this month. Ghost is a book that deserves a chance and an audience.

Cyclops has certainly picked it up since last month and has edged its way into must-read status. John Layman bounced back this month and delivered a fun and witty script. The art and colors by Javier Garron and Chris Sotomayor were also well represented, making this an excellent issue. Next month should be just as good as it seems like Layman and company could be finding their footing in this series.

As the series progresses it becomes better and better. Paul Tobin and Juan Ferreyra are a dynamic team that turn out high quality work. The superb characterization and the eerie visuals make this a must read for horror fans.

This has been the most exciting version of the Teen Titans in quite a while and all praise should go to the writer and artist. Pfeifer and Rocafort really are turning in excellent work in this series and its only four issues in (five if you count the Futures End issue). If youre looking to read a good teen book, Teen Titans is worth a try.

Its odd to say, but Moon Knight has not dropped off in quality in any department since the new creative team has taken over. Everyone involved is doing great work and continues to make this an excellent book. Brian Wood is really impressive with his writing and the art and colors feel very natural with the story. Another great issue in what has to be considered one of Marvels most underrated books.

Uncanny X-Men #28 is a pretty good issue with some decent art. We get to see Cyclops really extend himself to another mutant and continue his crusade to help those in need. Brian Michael Bendis continues his run with consistent character moments and quality story telling. Kris Anka has turned in better performances than this, but it was by no means a terrible issue art wise. Uncanny X-Men is by all means the premier X-Men book and will continue to be that way as long as Bendis pens the title.

Drifter was a surprisingly excellent read this week. Sci-fi books can be confusing at times, but this one is easy to follow and well written to boot. Ivan Brandon and Nic Klein really blow the doors off with an exciting first issue. Having set the bar high, they will have to be on the top of their game to maintain this level of quality long term.

This was a decent issue, but nothing that will change anybodys mind on the event. Remender is really displaying that he can write any character he wants in Marvels dossier. The art takes a step back this issue, but Dodson is good enough that he can rebound with the next one. Avengers & X-Men: Axis continues to be an enjoyable read as we wait to see what happens next week.

Day Men #5 was the best in the series so far, however the delay is hard to overcome. Having a book come out every few months really hurts the readers. Having said that, the writing team and the art team are at the top of their games for this issue. Hopefully we wont have to wait another few months for the next issue.

Avengers & X-Men: Axis has been an enjoyable read so far. This issue was a bit slower than the others, but its setting up the major events to come later in the series. Rick Remender is a writer you should have faith in, because he always seems to deliver when he needs to. The pencils by Yu have done wonders for his two issue stint and have added great depth to an already good story. This is an event that continues to get better with each issue.

Terrible Lizard isnt a terrible book, but its nothing special either. Bunn is a very good writer and definitely worth giving another shot to if you didnt like this introductory issue. The pencils are fine, but the coloring by Ryan Hill is what shines brightest this issue. Terrible Lizard is worth a shot on a slow week, but can wait otherwise.

While many might see this as a filler issue, there were several things that happened with the characters. Brian Bendis has been taking his time with his stories, which is fine as long as there is a satisfying end. The art continues to improve each time we get a new issue as Asrar gets more comfortable drawing the characters. All-New X-Men has been the best selling X-book since it came out, it's not hard to see why.

Sundowners has really been a surprise series so far. Tim Seeley usually does well on these indie books and this one is no exception. The art and colors by Jim Terry and Sean Dove compliment the writing style immensely. This has all the makings of a great story, as long as Seeley, Terry and Dove continue to give a great effort, this book will go far.

This has been the best issue to date and Remender is only getting started. There is excitement when reading this to see what happens. The art gets a boost this week from Leinil Francis Yu, and the story gets more interesting as well. If this is a sign of things to come, were all in for a wonderful ride.

This was not a great issue of Cyclops in any way. The heartfelt writing that Greg Rucka built the series on is gone and we are left with an unrecognizable book. There is still some hope though because John Layman is a good writer, he just needs to find his footing. The art also needs to improve as well because it has the ability to set the tone as well. This wasnt a great issue, but it can absolutely get better in the coming months if the story and art pick up.

Colder: The Bad Seed is off to a great start so far. Paul Tobin and Juan Ferreyra craft a very entertaining introductory issue that should keep you interested for the next installment. Tobin usually delivers on his books, so this should be another good mini-series from Dark Horse.
