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

This was a wonderful read as Bendis and Immonen both gave everything they had. The book didnt lose a beat without young Scott and was extremely enjoyable on every level. The writing and art were spot on as this has been one of the best issues in the series. Bendis and Immonen continue to strike gold with this title as they perfect their talents month after month.

Dan Slott's run on Spider-Man may be ending, but many of his stories and ideas will live on. Amazing Spider-Man #801 is a wonderful feel good issue that allows Slott to go out on top. You honestly couldn't ask for a better art team for this issue. The light colors and pencils help convey the message that Slott wants to tell. Amazing Spider-Man #801 is a must read for all Spidey fans.

If you didn't enjoy this, you're not a comic fan

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.

For an issue that had barely an action, it kicked butt in every aspect. Ruckas story and emotion was drawn beautifully by Dauterman. Everything clicked this issue and this is by far the best of the series so far. Next month will be hard to top, but if there is a team that can do it, its Rucka and Dauterman.

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.

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.

Death of the Inhumans is the book to read this week.

The Death of Wolverine is off to a fantastic start. Charles Soule turns in a great script that has great characterization. The art and colors by Steve McNiven and Justin Ponsor are such an amazing compliment to the story that should leave everyone engaged and impressed. This is killing off an iconic character the right way, with a talented team of superstars.

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.

Extermination set the path for where the X-books will go in the foreseeable future.

Ghosted is no longer a little known secret, every issue of the book has gone to a second printing, but it is one of the best horror books on the shelves. Williamson continues to craft an intriguing series that is not afraid to take chances and Sudzukas art is so perfectly fitting to the book. Hopefully the quality will keep up and the shocks keep coming.

This book has honestly been one of the best series to come out in a good while. Joshua Williamson continues to kill this series with great character work and thoughtful story telling. Not that you need another reason to buy this series, but the letters page has been turned into a share your ghost story section, which is downright creepy. An all around great job by everyone involved.

As this event concludes, it has been a pretty good story featuring characters that don't get the chance to share panel time too often. Bendis did a very good job with his storytelling and made everything feel natural, with the exception of Gladiator's odd behavior. The art was taken to another level this issue and the fans were treated to some great panels by some talented artists. Even though this was a mini-event, hopefully other writers will follow this blueprint for the next big crossover involving the X-Men!

House of X is the X-Men story fans have been salivating for.

House of X is the benchmark for what an X-Men book should 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.

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.

While only two issues in, this has been on of the best Marvel NOW! titles to hit shelves. Ellis is a writer who will take chances with his storytelling and Declan Shalvey is doing great work with the art. This has all the making to be an excellent series for a long time to come.

Moon Knight #1 kicks serious ass. Jed Mackay brings everything to the table and delivers a powerful and enjoyable read. The colors and pencils rock and put this issue over the top. Moon Knight should be the best book of the week for everyone who bought it.

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.

This was by far the best issue in the series and has the potential to cause a huge uproar amongst the folks on the message boards. Jason Aaron is a talented writer and this issue shows why he continually gets picked to write these big events. The tandem of Deodato and Miller are also putting forth a great effort for anyone who is reading the series. It truly has been a joy to read so far and hopefully the best is yet to come.

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!

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!

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 is the Milligan and De La Torres best issue yet. They seem to be finding a groove together and this is just their first arc. Milligan is doing a great job of humanizing Jack and also giving us good scares along the way. A great issue and a must read.

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. The artists, inker and colorist all shine in this issue as well. 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.

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 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!

This issue is a triumph for everyone involved

Uncanny X-Men is the X-book we've always wanted

Without a doubt, this is one of the finest event kickoffs in recent memory. Howard and Hickman have set this up as an epic battle between good and evil, and I have no idea which side will win. The pencils and colors should wow you as you flip through the pages of this amazing issue. X of Swords Creation will exceed your expectations.

X-Men is a series that cannot be missed!

X-Men #15 is everything you would want out of a comic book. There is political drama, a battle, and heroes doing the right thing. Jonathan Hickman turns in a flawless issue that will surely get you excited for the next part of the event. The pencils and colors are great here as well. Asrar and Gho knock it out of the park and come through when they are needed. X-Men #15 is the best issue of the event so far.

X-Men #19 is a must read book. Jonathan Hickman gives us a tragic tale about 3 characters that will actually stay with you long after you put the issue down. The pencils and colors are flawless and work well with the dark story. X-Men #19 is one of the best issue of the series.

Absolute Carnage is an absolute gem.

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

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

You'd be hard pressed to find a better comic on the rack this week.

Alien #1 is a really good first issue into Marvel's Alien-verse. The script by Phillip Kennedy Johnson is not just interesting, it's also a little terrifying. You honestly won't find better art in a comic book this week than the duo of Salvador Larroca and GURU-eFX. it's absolutely stunning. Alien #1 is a book that will quench all your horror and sci-fi thirsts.

Clever writing and vicious art highlight an already strong arc.

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

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

Cable #5 has everything you would want from an X-Men comic. Popular and likable characters, good story, great art, and overall, a tie in to the crossover. Gerry Duggan doesnt miss when he takes over a title. Phil Noto is showing off some of the best work of his career too. Cable #5 is setting the bar for the crossover.

Cable #6 was a very good issue and it gave fans what they wanted; fights, deaths and violence. Gerry Duggan again comes through and delivers the best issue of the crossover. Phil Notos stylistic art continues to impress every time he works on a book. Cable #6 should not be missed.

Cable has been a surprisingly good title for Marvel. My personal feelings on young Cable were mixed, but Gerry Duggan has brought me around and made me a fan. Noto's art continues to be impressive here as well. Cable #10 is one of the best issues of the series so far. This book seems to be going out on a high note.

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.

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.

Doctor Doom may be the hit of the week

It wouldn't be an X-event if the stakes weren't high, but the first issue of Extermination proves that our favorite mutants are in for a world of hurt. Ed Brisson continues to impress with his grasp of another set of characters in the Marvel Universe. You honestly couldn't ask for a better art team to compliment the writing. Extermination is a must read book!

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

Extermination is the best the X-Men have been since "Second Coming."

Hellions has been a book that has taken me by surprise. Zeb Wells has done a great job of reeling in readers and keeping them guessing. The pencils and colors couldnt have been better this issue. Hellions is a book that shouldnt be missed!

House of X #2 is another amazing installment in the Hickman X-Men era.

House of X continues to be the best thing to happen to the X-Men.

House of X #6 is a great bookend to a great series.

Inferno #1 checks all the boxes for a solid first issue. Jonathan Hickman gives us mystery, deception and betrayal all in the first issue. Where this goes will be an exciting ride that any self respecting X-Men fan shouldn't miss. The pencils and colors are amazing and highlight how epic this series can be with the right people working on it. Inferno is setting the standard for modern day X-Men stories.

Infinity Wars Prime is not some silly cash grab, this is a serious title that already has consequences. Gerry Duggan is playing with some top tier characters and that's not a good thing for any of them. The art team was spectacular and pretty much flawless. This is a book you need to buy.

Invisible Woman #1 is a must read book.

Marauders #21 is everything you hoped it would be. Gerry Duggan kicks off the Hellfire Gala with a lot of questions and some great firepower. Where things go from here is anyone's guess. The pencils and colors work very well for the story being told. Marauders #21 is a must read issue that sets everything up for the gala.

Moon Knight #2 is just as good and amazing as the first issue. Jed Mackay seems like he's building something something great with this run, and it's only been 2 issues. The pencils and colors couldn't be better. Moon Knight is a series that should be read by everyone!

This one is off to an excellent start

Powers of X hits you where it hurts

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

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. That is until the actual heroes, Carol Danvers and her crew get a hold of him. 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.

Sinister War #1 is a fun filled issue that is not as light as it seems. Nick Spencer likes to have you let your guard down and then hit you with something unexpected. The art work on this book is phenomenal. Bagley, Reber and company knock it out of the park and make this issue a breeze to look at. Sinister War is shaping up to be a classic Spider-Man story!

Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow should set the bar for what if stories. Chip Zdarsky writes something new and interesting for the wall crawler that should be engaging to all fans. The pencils and colors work very well together and should only add to the reading experience. Spider-Man: Spider's shadow #2 is a can't miss book.

The Death of Dr. Strange #2 is every bit as good as the first issue. By this point you have to be invested. Jed Mackay has crafted a well written story with characters we know and love. The pencils and colors add to the depth of the tale and help readers enjoy the story.

This is the most exciting the X-Men have been in a good while

All in all, this will be the best book you read this week

Cyclops is back and Ed Brisson is setting him up to be better than ever!

Venom #18 is a meaningful tie-in that should have some lasting effects on the series.

Venom #26 is off to an intriguing start. Donny Cates has set up the story well and Eddie and Dylan are already in a tough situation. The pencils and colors really enhance the reading experience for this issue. Venom is quickly becoming a must read book!

"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.

Web of Venom Empyres End may be one of the scariest stories youve ever read. The script and imagery work so well together. Clay Mcleod Chapman is on my radar now. He has an eye and ear for good scary stories. If youre not ready for Halloween to be over, check out Web of Venom Empyres End.

If you're looking for a book that will knock your socks off this week, Winter Soldier is the winner.

Wolverine #12 continues it's streak of must read issues. Percy has been building up to something good since issue 1 and we're starting to see more of that with each passing book. The pencils and colors rule and enhance the reading experience. Wolverine continues to be one of the most fun books Marvel puts out.

X-23 is a book for anyone and everyone. Mariko Tamaki turned in a great and funny script that really captures the youth of Laura and Gabby. The pencils and colors made the issue an even better read because they leap out of the book and grab your attention. This is a very promising start to a new series for a great character.

X-Force is a force to be reckoned with.

X-Men #1 is the first step in a historic run for the mutants.

X-Men #2 is the Summers family book we've always wanted.

X-Men is a book for readers who are willing to let the big picture fill in

X-Men is a must read series

Hickman is redefining the X-Men.

X-Men is one of Marvel's premier books!

X-Men #10 didnt disappoint on its return. A Vulcan centric story is always welcome with me. Hickman is a master storyteller. If hes planting a seed, it will become relevant at some point. The art is gorgeous and will floor you as you flip through the pages. X-Men is a triumph in the comics community!

As we wrap up another issue of this classic X-Men run, the wait between issues seems to get longer and longer. Hickman is one of the best writers in comics. Period. Each issue brings us closer to the end, and the build up has been great so far. You probably couldnt have asked for a better team on art duties. Yu and Gho crush it this issue and I hope we see more of them on this series. X-Men is the best book from Marvel right now.

X-Men #16 is an awesome book for many reasons, but thats pretty much what weve come to expect from Jonathan Hickman. His writing has set up this series for months, if not years, to come. Phil Notos work looks like some of the best of his career to date. X-Men is hands down the X-book to read.

X-Men #20 gives readers what they want to see, more turmoil on Krakoa. Jonathan Hickman absolutely slays every issue he writes, and this one is a true killer. The pencils and colors fit effortlessly with the story and just go together well. X-Men is the benchmark for how all superhero books should be written.

X-Men #21 gives us a little preview of things to come in the new X-Men series coming out. Jonathan Hickman gives us another good issue that raises questions and piques our interest. Where things go from here are anyone's guess. The pencils and colors illuminate the page and bring all kinds of different perspectives to the issue. X-Men #21 is a book that will leave you wanting more.

X-Men #2 is another great issue from Gerry Duggan and company. Duggan continues to build the ultimate team book by allowing characters to get exposure and good character moments. The pencils and colors are a total knock out. X-Men is a book that gives the reader exactly what they want.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

This was a really good issue that could potentially have some crazy repercussions throughout the rest of the Marvel Universe soon. Robinson has gotten better on this title each month and this is the best issue so far. There shouldnt be any doubt that Steve Pugh is a stud with a pencil. His work is very strong on this series and he will hopefully only get better. This series continues to get better every month thanks to the love that Robinson and Pugh put into their work.

There shouldnt be any surprises here, another good issue in the books. James Robinson is crafting an intriguing tale that will tie into the main Marvel universe. Steve Pugh continues his awesome streak of good work and most likely wont slow down any time soon. All-New Invaders is a hit!

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.

Battle of the Atom hit readers with the first two issues this week, and they were both great. Readers will be wanting two issues every week if Bendis and Immonen keep the punches and cliffhangers rolling like they have so far, This is a series that every X-Men fan should be reading.

The first issue after the major cross over was a huge success, and it will be interesting to see where Bendis and Immonen take this. There is a lot of tension built up this issue, and it should lead to good story telling. Bendis and Immonen score again.

This continues to be one of the best Marvel titles on the shelf these days, and with Brandon Peterson filling in this month, its a cant miss. Bendis continues to show what a great story teller he is through his work on this title, and the art is consistently top shelf. An all around excellent title.

Despite some minor flaws with the art, this is an excellent issue and if X-23 stays with the team, thats even better. Bendis continues to make this a must read every month and still keeps it fresh and surprising. While this isnt the flagship X-title, there is a very strong possibility that it could be sometime in the not too distant future.

This book is set for its second crossover as they face off against the Guardians of the Galaxy. Bendis is really cooking with this series and the future only seems to get brighter every month.

This issue wraps up an entertaining brotherhood arc. Brian Michael Bendis has injected some life into the X-Men books and has kept the quality of this title very high. Immonen has had better issues, but its hard to say he ever has a bad issue. This duo has proven to be great at everything they try and that doesnt look to change any time soon.

This is a good start to what should be a very impressive story arc from Bendis and Asrar. The script is good and the art is on the upswing, which is never a bad thing. Who knows, maybe by the end of all this, Miles could be a member of the All-New X-Men.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Amazing Spider-Man 13 is a satisfying end to this story arc. Fans of J. Jonah Jameson will love how much he's grown as a person on this run. Nick Spencer has done a great job of making every character matter. The art should give off some wonderful eye candy and visuals for those who love the medium. Amazing Spider-Man is the spider book we need

Amazing Spider-Man is back in the business of kicking butt.

Amazing Spider-Man #51 is a great addition to the series. Nick Spencer has written great a creepy script that will no doubt have a lasting impact on Peters life. The pencils and colors couldnt have been better for a story like this. Amazing Spider-Man is picking up steam and getting creepy just in time for Halloween.

Amazing Spider-Man has been one of the most consistent books from Marvel. Nick Spencer has written Peter Parker like he's one of his good friends. As a reader we know that Peter is in good hands because Spencer treats him like family. The pencils and colors this issue match the tone of the book and pay off. Amazing Spider-Man is fun and full of life.

Amazing Spider-Man #75 is off to a great start. Zeb Wells has lined up an interesting and engaging story that respects both Peter and Ben Reilly. The pencils and colors look good on the page and truly help sell this book. The work the artists put in make this an easy and enjoyable read. Amazing Spider-Man is in good hands and off to a great start.

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.

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

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

Astonishing X-Men #14 continues to be a promising start for this new team. Matthew Rosenberg has let his inner fan boy out onto the pages of the book and it's a really wild read. The art has been exciting and glamorous thanks to the hard work put in by all involved. Astonishing X-Men is the most fun you'll have with mutants this week.

Its not hard to see why Wheeler is an Eisner award winner. This is a really fun and funny book, and its great to take a break from a serious super hero book and pick this up and read it for fun, because lets be honest, thats what were all here to do. Have fun!

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.

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.

As a whole, No Surrender was a great success and a joy to read. Top shelf art and a great story make this another classic Avengers story.

The bat titles have been some of the more popular issues from the villains month rolodex, but Mr. Freeze is the issue to beat so far. A good story combined with excellent art is what the bat books are all about. This is an issue that deserves reading.

This was a really good read. Clayface may not have a huge fan base like the Joker, but he can be an interesting villain when written right and Hurwitz and Maleev are doing a fine job so far.

Silent issues can be a fun break every now and then and Hurwitz and Ponticelli have done a very good one. That being said, some dialogue would be welcome next issue, as a confrontation between Batman and the Penguin is going to happen, and a fight isnt as much fun without the banter.

My expectations for Black Cat #1 were middle of the road. Having said that, this was a really good book. Jed MacKay has proven that he can write Felicia Hardy in an extremely likable and relatable way. The pencils and colors were lights out too. Black Cat #1 is a great book and an excellent tie-in to King in Black.

Valiant is doing a great job of introducing new characters into already established books and giving them their own title. This book is no exception; while I love Bloodshot working with H.A.R.D. Corps, its only a matter of time before this goes back to being a solo title. With Dysart leading the charge, and the beautiful scenes drawn by Lupacchino, this is a cant miss book.

Even though this is an anticipated arc, it was still better than expected. The set up was very well done and natural and there is a twist that will leave you wanting more. The writing is top shelf and Barrionuevo stuns on art duty. This was an all around great start to a promising arc.

This is a little open ended and ambiguous conclusion, but it is a satisfying one. Valiant has been excellent in their story telling and continuity and this should have some effects on the universe moving forward. Boudreau and Gage end on a good note and leave many possibilities for team ups from the surviving members.

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.

Cable #7 is another good entry in what has been a surprisingly good series. Gerry Duggan is tapping into our innermost desires and giving us a family book that weve always wanted. Phil Noto continues to be an art master on the page; his work just keeps getting better. Cable has become one of the best books in this X-Men line.

Cable #11 offers us some closure and some joy as we brace ourselves for the final next issue. Gerry Duggan has been consistently good on this series, and it has been one of the more underrated books from the X-line. Phil Noto is always a joy to see on a title, and his art and colors are only getting better with time. Cable #11 is a sweet book that has big consequences ahead of it.

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.

Chastity is a book that will take people by surprise, although it really shouldnt. Marc Andreyko did a very good job Manhunter, which was underrated as well. Dave Acosta and Tiago Ribeiro make the story better with their contributions in art and color. This could be an explosive new series for Dynamite, and it has great ingredients to succeed.

Children of the Atomis surprisingly fun and entertaining. If you think this is something you've seen before, there is a little more going on than we think. Vita Ayala proved the naysayers wrong with this strong debut on Children of the Atom. The pencils and colors help build up the likability of this issue. Children of the Atom is a book that should be read by anyone who enjoys a good story.

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.

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 could easily have been a book that fell flat, but Greg Rucka and Russell Dauterman have done an excellent job of making it fun and exciting. Cyclops has been a character who is popular, but not popular enough to sustain his own title. The combination of Rucka and Dauterman have the book off to an exciting start that will hopefully continue every month!

This series has definitely been a dark horse in terms of quality. Its been a fun read every month, but also slaps a little meaning into it as well. Greg Rucka has the chops to take on any character and work wonders. Carmen Carnero is an up and coming talent that has impressed on this issue. Cyclops is absolutely one of the best books Marvel is putting out right now!

Greg RuckasCyclopswas an extremely enjoyable book for the short time it lasted. Even switching artist mid run didnt slow down the quality of the title. Its sad to see Rucka go, but John Layman could step in and do just as good of a job. As long as there are good stories and good art, it should still be a must read.

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.

These two tie-in issue have actually been very good, which shouldnt be too surprising with Waid and Lopez behind it. Daredevil is a legitimately fantastic series that has flown under the radar for too long. Take note of this series now before you get too far behind.

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.

Darkhawk #1 was a surprisingly deep read. The issues Kyle Higgins brings to light are relatable and very real. The pencils and colors fit the story so well that they just seem like they were made for a title like this. Darkhawk is back!

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.

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.

The Death of Wolverine has been a home run so far and the excitement is building for the next two issues. Charles Soule has really nailed every character hes written so far, and they have all served a purpose. Hes not just throwing in guest stars because its the end for an icon. McNiven and Ponsor continue to make this book the best drawn issue on the rack each week and deserve every bit of praise they get.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantomex MAX ends with a bang just as it was picking up steam. Perhaps there will be another opportunity for another solo in the future, but until then, he will be appearing in the pages of the new X-Force book. Fantomex MAX was a good read and a nice jumping on point for readers not familiar with the character.

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.

Ghosted #3 is a book that should leave the audience on the edge of their seats for the next 30 days. The cliff hanger could be a huge game changer for the series if it sticks, and could completely alter the tone of the book. Ghosted is a wonderfully under the radar series, and if the story continues to surprise the audience every month, it could be one of the better horror books in recent memory.

Ghosted has been one of the biggest surprises of the year. With excellent and inventive writing from Joshua Williamson, and gorgeously dark art by Goran Sudzuka, this is a must read book. Dont let another story arc pass you by.

Giant Size Fantomex #1 is a fun and interesting look at a character that we dont normally get that much information on. Jonathan Hickman continues his winning streak with Giant Size Fantomex #1. The art by Rod Reis looks amazing and completes the story that Hickman wants to tell. Dont sleep on Fantomex folks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It seems like Guardians of the Galaxy is in great hands. Al Ewing has delivered an exciting debut issue that leaves you wanting more. The pencils and colors bring a lot of life to this book, and the space panels rock. Guardians of the Galaxy is a book worth your time.

If you thought last issue was crazy, wait until you read this one. Dysart continues to put the work and effort into this book, and it shows. Teamed up with Clayton Henry, this can only be a comic book fans dream of. This series just hit must read status.

The renegades barely appear in this issue and it is still an enthralling read. Dysart and Henry are a powerful team that have great chemistry and appear to be on the same page. The quality of this book keeps going up and so does its fan base. A sure fire hit of a series.

This was a very good introductory issue to the final arc. Dysart is definitely keeping readers guessing as to which Renegade is going to get it and it could be a fan favorite. The tandem of Clayton Henry and Brian Reber come through again as well with a knock out issue. If the rest of this arc is comparable to this issue, the series will go out with a nice bang.

This issue should meet the hype for most fans, as Dysart delivers a good script that is bound to get a reaction out of the reader. The duo of Henry and Evans drew the issue wonderfully and with great passion. For any Harbinger fan this is a must read, and remember that the most interesting stories should be the ones that deal with the aftermath.

Harbinger #25 does not disappoint. If you are not a fan of Toyo Harada, you will definitely dig the story about Joe or the fan fiction story written by Justin Jordan. There is something for everybody in this issue, so everybody should be able to walk away happy. The creative talent on this issue is essentially everyone on Valiants payroll, so you know its got to be good. If youre a Valiant fan, this is a must read. If youre not a Valiant fan, but a fan of good stories, this is a must read too.

Harbinger: Omegas #1 was a very good read that should definitely please fans of the series. Joshua Dysart is almost getting to be a cant miss writer on this title. The addition of Rafa Sandoval is a welcome one as he brings high quality work and amazing imagery to the book as well. Dont miss out on a chance to get into this book, its been great since the beginning and the next step looks just as good.

This feels like another incredible chapter in the life of Clint Barton.

Hellions #7 is a very good read and has some amazing art. Zeb Wells continues his hot streak on this title as it follows up X of Swords admirably. You can't say much more about the art for this book. It continues to get better each week and is consistently some of the nicest looking images in all of comics. Hellions #7 brings the heat and intrigue to the X-books.

Hellions continues it's hot streak of entertaining issues and fan service. Hellions #9 starts a new arc that seems very promising and includes old adversaries that haven't been seen in a while. Zeb Wells knows these characters and he writes them like they are his friends. The pencils and colors are top notch, but that's nothing new for this book. Hellions is a must read for X-Men fans.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thunderbolts #1 is a very good tie-in to the bigger King in Black event. Matthew Rosenberg takes us into the event without being bogged down by everything going on. Were able to focus on the characters, which is what Rosenberg is best at. The pencils and colors by Juan Ferretra are unique and fitting to this story. Thunderbolts #1 is one of the better event tie-ins so far.

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.

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.

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

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.

Its sad to see this team end their run on the title because every issue has been great. Ellis, Shalvey and Bellaire were quite the team and can hopefully team up again sometime in the future. There are just certain characters that seem to fit with writers and Moon Knight is certainly a fit for Ellis. He may be walking away for now, but that doesnt mean hell never be back. Thanks for the great arc guys. It was truly a pleasure.

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.

Nailbiter is an interesting story that is wonderfully written by Joshua Williamson. This seems to be a pretty original premise and Williamson thrives with odd stories while Mike Henderson supplies an artistic style that compliments the writing and adds to the layer of the book. Nailbiter is off to a good start and Williamson and Henderson's efforts are the reason.

This is the most intriguing issue yet, and Williamson is just getting started. It seems that everything is improving with each issue, which will hopefully continue for the long haul. Williamson's impressive storytelling continues and Henderson is really coming into his own. This has all the making of a classic mystery comic and we're only 3 issues in!

This is perhaps one of the more important issue of New Mutants since the relaunch. Dealing with bullies, on line or in real life is something that everyone has to deal with at one point or another. How you handle that situation is very important. Ed Brisson knows and loves these character and it shows in his writing. The pencils and colors worked and looked very good on the page. New Mutants is a sensational book.

The New Suicide Squad has been a very good read for the first few issues. Hopefully the quality will keep up as Sean Ryan grows even more comfortable with the characters. The art worked pretty well for having two people on it as the styles were similar enough. This is a book that should be picked up each month, youll rarely have more fun than with the New Suicide Squad.

This is one of the better Futures End issues so far. Sean Ryan wrote a good issue with some well thought out plot points. The art was impressive and effective for the grim tone of the story. This issue continues the trend of fun issues from the members of the New Suicide Squad.

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.

The October Faction is a very good first issue. While there were some issues with the art, Steve Niles story is absolutely worth the cost of the book. Damien Worm has a unique style that may work for some and turn other off, but this book is worth a read based on story alone.

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.

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.

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.

Although this is a set up issue, its still a very fun and entertaining read. Aaron writes with an ease that draws readers in and Deodato wows them with his fantastic art. This series has been good so far and will hopefully only get better in the coming months.

Planet Size X-Men is a very good book that will have a huge impact on the X-Men and how things are done in the very distant future. Gerry Duggan wrote an issue that feels right in line with how Jonathan Hickman has been doing things. The art paves the way for your eyes and makes every page a joy to look at. Planet Size X-Men won't disappoint.

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.

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.

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.

If you're not excited for where Jonathan Hickman is taking the X-Men, you were never a fan to begin with.

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.

The second issue of Revenge is just as impressive as the first. We get more plot development and the lingering scent of several double crosses in the future. Jonathan Ross has presented us with two very well written issues that are accompanied by wonderful artwork from Ian Churchill. If the quality can hold up on both ends, this can be an outstanding series moving forward.

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. Rainbow Rowell continues her great character work on this series as the teen heroes grow each month. The art is perfect for this book and you'd be hard pressed to find a better team to compliment the writing.

Saga continues to impress by doing things the right way and developing interesting characters. While this was a slower issue that wasn't action packed, it was still very entertaining because the people behind it care about what they are doing. At this point, Staples and Vaughan seem as if they can do no wrong, and until proven otherwise, it's probably true.

While this was a bit of a tamer issue, Vaughan and Staples always make the issue worth the read. Vaughan continually gives us an issue that throw us curve balls and exceeds expectations, while Fiona Staples just wows on the art. Saga will continue to be great as long as these two are attached to it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can't say enough about what Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples have done on this series to keep it fresh. Their consistency is the key to why this series has been as great as it is. Here's hoping to 50 more.

If you're looking for a change of pace Avengers book, Savage Avengers is the cure.

There isn't much more that you can say about this series except that Savage Avengers is the most entertaining Avengers book on the shelf.

Savage Avengers #14 was an exciting step for the series. Gerry Duggan made the series fresh again by switching up the cast and diverting from the main story for a couple of issues. The pencils by Zircher and colors by Tartaglia are amazing. This is the best Savage Avengers has been in a while.

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!

This really is an excellent read. Justin Jordan has been putting out solid issues since this title started, and is making sure that Jack Boniface has a good, fleshed out nemesis. Jordan is doing exactly what the zero issues were intended to do, giving more depth and understanding to complicated characters. Once this title gets consistent art again, it will be a slam dunk.

This first issue is off to a wonderful start. Milligan and De La Torre seem to have the chemistry to make this a top notch book, and they are not afraid to take it in a new direction. This issue will raise questions, as well as the status quo for the title moving forward.

You don't need to be a fan of Shatterstar to enjoy this book

Shazam #12 is not a throw away stand alone issue. This is a book that sheds some insight and adds some character to Billy. Jeff Loveness reels us in with his words and Peterson and Atiyeh amaze us with the art. This is an issue that shouldn't be missed.

Sinister War had a lot of hype around it, and the conclusion paid off. Nick Spencer and Ed Brisson put together a worthy finale that sets up the end of Spencer's run on Amazing Spider-Man.The pencils and colors rock and couldn't have been much better given the large task at hand. Sinister War was a fun ride that saw Spider-Man in possibly his most dangerous battle to date!

Peter Porker is back and funnier than ever before!

Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow #5 was a good read that had a few surprising twists. Chip Zdarsky is one of the most underrated writers in comics. Everything he touches is met with a level of quality and care that you don't see in other writers. The pencils and colors are both done well and compliment the story. This series has been a nice surprise and a well added addition to the What If? mythos.

Kelly Thompson continued her amazing story about one of the more popular female characters to come out in the past couple of years. The art team couldn't have done a better job here either. Star is a breakout character ready to take the next step!

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 issue will hopefully be the start of a trend for Lobdell. It was honestly just a fun issue of Superman with excellent artwork by Rocafort. This issue also ends with a decent cliffhanger. Lobdell has the opportunity to have a nice streak going here if he can deliver on the rest of the arc. Heres hoping he can.

HEL is a extremely well written and drawn issue. Scott Lobdell and Dan Jurgens put together an excellent story with superb art. This book will catch readers of guard with how good it is. Pick it up while you can.

This was an unexpectedly funny read. Kuder has been labeled as an up and coming star for his artwork, but his writing talent seems to be just as special. If he can consistently write and draw at this level, his future in comics will be brighter than a yellow sun.

Scott Lobdell gets a bit of a bum rap on this title, but he really has done a solid job here. This issue is fun and he is continually building off of things hes done or plot lines left by other writers. Lobdell is usually paired with a good artist like Kenneth Rockafort, but he hit the jackpot with Benes. Hopefully these two can work together for the rest of the run, as it will make the story that much better.

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.

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.

Superman continues to be a must read book.

Superman #22 is a successful finale to the United planets story arc. Brian Michael Bendis delivers a good script that fleshes out Clark and Lois is a favorable way. The pencils and colors enhance the issue a great deal and really help convey the emotion in Bendis script. If youre looking a fun comic this week, Superman #22 is an excellent choice.

Symbiote Spider-Man #1 was a fun trip down memory lane. Peter David continues to put out great work and flesh out under utilized characters. The art is a great compliment to the story being told. Everyone involved with this issue should feel proud for putting out such a quality book.

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.

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.

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.

As the beginning of a new arc and a good jumping on point for new readers, this is a wonderful issue. Kirkman leaves us with enough questions and intrigue to excite us for the next issue. The art is great as always and the tones and inks make it even better. This is a great time to start reading for anyone who loves great story telling!

While The Walking Dead #130 didnt have a ton of action, a lot happened. Kirkman is still keeping things fresh and compelling, while Charlie Adlard turns in another very good art performance. This series is still a force to be reckoned with.

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.

The Wicked + The Divine was an excellent debut issue that can hopefully become another hit for Image. Gillen and McKelvie were really impressive with this title and worked extremely well together. This seems to be common for Image to get some of the best work out of some very talented people; Image strikes again!

Thor #14 wraps up nicely, and serves as a fitting end to a wonderful arc. Donny Cates continues to give fans what they want with Thor. The pencils and colors by Klein and Wilson are what you want to see in a mystical book like this. Thor is a series that never fails to exceed expectations.

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.

Uncanny Avengers is a book that shouldn't be passed up. It picks up steam with every issue, and is laying the groundwork for some big things to come in the marvel universe. With villains like Onslaught, Apocalypse, and Red Skull in this book already, the dossier of future threats facing the Uncanny Avengers seems too exciting to skip.

While this issue is not part of the story that Remender has been plotting, and is a tie in to a bigger event, it is still very good. This is a chance to see Adam Kubert on Uncanny Avengers too, so whats not to love. Even if you dont like Age of Ultron, this issue should leave you satisfied.

Uncanny Avengers is a book that has been getting consistently better every month, and with the Apocalypse twins story arc and the arrival of the new horsemen, the book is being taken to a new level of excitement. Acua is also progressing in the art department as well, which is helping the story flow even better. This continues to be one of Marvels better titles on a monthly basis.

Uncanny Avengers is one of Marvels best books on the shelf. The writing of Rick Remender makes this book worth checking out. The beautiful covers by John Cassaday are also a great selling point, and Daniel Acuas art is beginning to pick up steam. This is a book that will not disappoint.

As this story line keeps moving forward, this series gets more and more intriguing. Rick Remender has taken a book that could have been a complete flop and turned it into a must read with his expert story telling. The art could be better and Acua is capable of it, but it wont take you out of the issue. Another great issue in a series that continues to surprise and entertain.

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.

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.

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.

The crossover nears its end, and Bendis and Bachalo have delivered the finest issue to date. If the last two chapters can match this past one, Battle of the Atom can be considered another classic tale involving the X-Men.

Uncanny X-Men continues to be a great title for character development. Bendis and Bachalo are pulling out all stops and honestly making this a fun read. There doesnt always have to be life or death battles for this book to be enjoyable, and Bendis and Bachalo are proving that with this issue.

Jeremy Matcho is an employee of Amcom/ Xerox. He was born on the hard streets in Guam, and once met George Wendt at a local Jamesway department store. He was first exposed to comics at the tender age of 9, picking up X-Men #1. His favorite character then, and to this day is Cyclops. While he has been a Marvel fan for 20 years, DC is steadily becoming heavy competition. He also is the proud owner of a 2002 ford escort.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Uncanny X-Men is the relaunch fans have been waiting for

This is the best X-Men book on the shelf

Uncanny X-Men is a book that will floor you.

Way of X offers X-Men fans a different story than what they are getting in other places. Si Spurrier doesn't give us answers to anything, but that's perfectly fine. The pencils and colors looked good this issue and make looking at the pages easy on your eyes. Way of X is a book for anyone who wants a different feel from the current X-line.

Weapon H will exceed your expectations!

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.

The Wolverine Annual has been the best Wolverine comic to come out in quite some time. Elliot Kalan and Jonathan Marks offer up a good story and art that fits the mood. While it may not have much impact toward the main story of the series, this issue is worth a read.

X-Factor #4 is the second part of a large crossover, but it is a book that is a good read on its own. Leah Williams doesnt back down from the challenge of following up the massive first part of the story arc, and writes a very good second act. The pencils and colors are top notch too. X-Factor #4 is a good sign for things to come.

X-Force was a surprise hit this week. Ed Brisson has made this team of old friends feel fresh, and they have a new path and mission. The pencils and colors were fine enough, but I look forward to seeing how they grow as the series progresses. X-Force was my favorite book this week.

X-Force #2 is another amazing thrill ride for this series. Benjamin Percy has written another exciting issue, and the pencils and colors help boost the enjoyment. X-Force is emerging as the front runner for best series coming out of Dawn of X.

X-Force #11 gets the series on the right track. Benjamin Percy is doing a fine job writing this series and making it interesting. The colors and pencils rock this issue. X-Force is back on track and taking no prisoners this issue.

X-Force #12 is a good book that is building for the next big X-event. Benjamin Percy has been consistently good on X-Force and this issue is business as usual. The pencils and colors really steal the show in this issue. The work done by the artist and colorist shine and the issue is all the better for it. X-Force lives up to the hype.

The more the X of Swords storyline moves on, the more interesting it gets. Line wide cross overs can be tricky because there are multiple writers involved, but so far everything has been great. Benjamin Percy delivers another entertaining script that should build a following for Solem. The pencils and colors were dark and moody, which is exactly what you would expect from a story in hell. X-Force #13 is a must own for Wolverine fans.

X-Force #23 is another good issue in the series that has been slowly building to the downfall of Beast. Benjamin Percy has a knack for writing good stories that have long term effects on characters we love. The art was superb and both colorist and penciler knocked it out of the park. X-Force is a force to be reckoned with.

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.

X-Men continues to set the bar for the X-line with each issue.

X-Men #12 is a book that will have ramifications for the rest of the series. The information in this issue will be important moving forward. Jonathan Hickman hasnt put out a bad issue yet, on fact, each issue just gets more exciting. The pencils and colors are the perfect compliment to this issue and series. X-Men continues to be the best book on the shelf

X-Men #17 is another fine chapter in the book of Hickman. His writing is addicting and you just want to see what is going to happen next. Brett Booth and the art team did a wonderful job. There may not be a more complete comic that came out this week than X-Men #17.

I'm not sure what more you would want out of an X-book. There was action, story set up, good character moments and new villains. Duggan was impressive taking over the reins from Jonathan Hickman and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do on a flagship book. The pencils and colors are simply stunning. Larraz and Gracia absolutely crush this issue and dazzle in tis debut issue. X-Men #1 looks like it's setting up for great things.

X-Men #3 continues to focus on character moments and team work. Gerry Duggan is doing a good job of throwing everything he can at our newly formed team as they try to save the world. The pencils and colors by Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia may be their best collaboration yet. X-Men is the best X-book on the shelf!

X-Men #4 is a good entry into the creepy side of the X-Men mythos. Gerry Duggan is picking up and using the ground work that Jonathan Hickman laid out. The art is a thing of beauty this issue. If you're in the mood for a creepy superhero book this week, X-Men #4 should whet your whistle.

X-Men and Fantastic Four is a series worth your time.

For an opening to a crossover, X-Men: Battle of the Atom was surprisingly action packed and well done. Bendis has plenty on his plate right now, but still seems to be hitting his stride in the X-books. Frank Cho is very consistent and looks as good as he ever has. This is an important book for lovers of the X-Men.

Battle of the Atom has been one of the better X-Men crossovers in recent memory, and one that wasnt hard to keep interested in. All the books were written well, and for the most part, the art was good too. If Marvel can keep putting out crossovers that actually matter, ones that actually have an impact moving forward, Ill keep reading.

X-Men Black Mojo #1 was great fun.

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.

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

X-Men Legends #1 is a great trip down memory lane. Fabian Nicieza has still got it, and hes still making great books. The pencils, inks and colors are all top notch and make this title so much better. X-Men Legends is a book for anyone who loves classic 90s storytelling.

If you're an X-fan and you're not reading this title, you're missing out on a great story.

The Trial of Magneto #2 is just as good as the first issue. Leah Williams has given us two well thought out issues that honestly leave us with more questions on who is really behind the death of the Scarlet Witch. The pencils and colors were great throughout the issue and highlight the talent that Marvel has at it's disposal. The Trial of Magneto has been a roller coaster rides so far, and it doesn't look like it will be slowing down any time soon.

This book continues to intrigue and impress every month. Admittedly, I was not a big fan of X-O Manowar in the old Valiant days, but the rebooted Aric is one of the best characters in the re-launch. This book is revitalizing science fiction in comics, dont miss out on it.

Overall this was a pretty thrilling conclusion to a great arc. As far as buildup and execution for a sci-fi book are concerned, you would be hard pressed to find one that packs as much action into an arc as X-O Manowar. This is definitely a book worth getting, dont miss out.

This is a solid start to what appears to be a decent arc. Venditti has not disappointed so far on this title, and this was no exception. Teaming with Lee Garbett seems to be a perfect fit. His pencils are a welcome addition to a well written book.

Even though this issue wasnt as action packed as previous books in the series, its still extremely entertaining and wonderful to look at. Venditti is mastering the art of developing this character and it will be hard not to love the growth were seeing on the page. Cary Nord is showing everyone why he is one of the top talents in the industry with his consistent work on this series. X-O Manowar is a home run with this talented team.

Years of Future Past #2

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.

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.

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. Rescue 2020 #2 is fun and entertaining. Tony Stark may be dead, but have no fear, Pepper Potts is coming to the Rescue!

We're all excited to see where the X-Men go next, but don't skip out on Age of X-Men: Omega.

Age of X-Man Next Gen is a fun book!

It's disappointing to see Marvelous X-Men go when it's starting to get really good.

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.

Amazing Spider-Man is a tie-in that is worth reading.

You'd be hard pressed to find a better tie-in series than Asgardians of the Galaxy.

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.

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.

Exiles #6 is a pretty decent read this week; Saladin Ahmed is crafting an interesting narrative that takes the cast out of their comfort zone. There isn't too much to complain about when Rod Reis is on pencils and colors, because he's so good at what he does. If you're looking for a fun book to escape with this week, Exiles is a good selection.

The finale of Donny Cates run is a fun ride for anyone who loves emotional space adventures.

Hellions #8 is another good issue in the series that hasnt disappointed so far. Zeb Wells has really delved into what makes these characters tick, and he shows us every issue. The pencils and colors continue to showcase the top tier talent that Marvel has in their roster. Hellions is a series that is under the radar, but shouldnt be.

Hellions #10 is a fine issue that plays on all of the main character's emotions. Zeb Wells continues to roll out quality work month after month. The art by Segovia and Curiel is probably some of the top work you'll find on any comic this week. Hellions continues it's hot streak in the X-line.

Hulkverines is a fun ride

Marauders is a different X-Men title than we're used to, and that's a good thing.

Marauders is a fun book that is developing lesser known characters into stars.

Marauders #10 pushes the Hickman era of X-comics forward. It touches on some things that have been getting built up in other titles and fleshes them out a little. Gerry Duggan has been consistently good on this title, and hes really made it one of the fun books in the line. The art is clean and crisp with vibrant colors. Marauders #10 is a nice book to get you prepared for the rest of the line.

New Mutants continues to be a fun read that explores underused characters and makes them relevant.

New Mutants #10 is another solid issue in this series. Ed Brisson continues to write these likable characters with genuine care and concern. The pencils and colors go from a normal color palette to trippy in this issue. New Mutants #10 continues to allow these characters to grow and become superstars in waiting.

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.

Justin Jordan continues to craft a solid second arc, with an excellent villain. The love that he has for the characters is what really sells this book. Neil Edwards is progressing during his stint on the book, and if he can get a bit more consistent with his art, Shadowman has the potential to be a sleeper hit.

Shadowman has been a well written book for the entirety of its run. This book would benefit from some consistency in the art department, but that is not needed to make it a good read each month. The showdown between Shadowman and Master Darque is coming, dont be the one who missed the boat on this epic clash.

Star #1 is a standout book this week!

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!

Scott Lobdell has put together a few good issues in a row, and he doesnt seem to be slowing down. Superman started off a bit rocky, but has picked up tremendously in recent months due to the writing and consistent art. Dont judge it based on the writers who held the pen before Lobdell, this is a book worth checking out.

Superman has been the most consistent of the books in the Superman family. Action and Superman Unchained have bigger names writing them, but this is the most fun out of all three of them, with art that is just as exciting.

This is not a bad annual. While the focus is not really on Superman, it is nice to see Lois get the spotlight and add some depth to her character. Lobdell turns in another decent issue that is leading to a grander scheme within the Superman line, and Dan Jurgens' art is at the top of its game. This is definitely an issue worth a read if you love the Superman universe.

Symbiote Spider-Man is a nice little break from the current stories.

If you're riding the high of Avengers: Endgame, Thanos #1 is a book that will satisfy appetite.

Uncanny Avengers is a book that is setting up big events in the Marvel Universe. Rick Remender is a writer that can weave an epic tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats (See Dark Angel Saga). With more consistent artwork from Daniel Acua, this book can really be the next big thing.

This issue is still setting things up for a big battle between the Uncanny Avengers and the Apocalypse twins, but it has done a good job of putting key players in compelling situations. This series keeps getting better with each issue, if Remender can do with this book what he did with Uncanny X-Force; we're all in for an epic treat.

This series has been building for a war since issue 1, and it looks like it is finally going to get one. Remender and Acua are putting together a dark arc, similar to Remenders X-Force run, which is pretty odd for an Avengers title. Pick this up while it is still on the shelf.

The pencils, inks and colors bring this book to life and make it an overall enjoyable read.

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.

Weapon X may not be one of the most talked about books in the Marvel rolodex, but it is consistently one of the most fun

This series should leave an impression on the characters and fans as well.

X-Force is a book for fans who love these characters and want to take a trip back down memory lane.

X-Force #10 will be remembered for a few things, but none more than the last two pages. Benjamin Percy is definitely stirring the pot and turning the X-Men world upside down. The pencils and art are simply amazing. X-Force #10 will get you through this week and keep you talking into next week.

X-Force #17 is an enjoyable issue that focused on a character that many fans don't particularly like. Credit to Benjamin Percy for fleshing out some of the details of Kid Omega. The pencils and colors are great. There isn't much more you can say about it than that. It's some of the best artwork in a comic book this week. X-Force continues to surprise readers by offering a heartfelt issue this week.

X-Force #18is a fine book, but it's nothing game changing for the series. Benjamin Percy has been pretty solid as a writer on this title, so there is no reason to think his good work won't continue. The pencils and colors rock the issue. In a slow comics week, X-Force #18 is one of the better titles that came out.

X-Men #18 sets up what should be an exciting conclusion to the children of the vault story. Jonathan Hickman continues to build up characters and stories that are going to pay off later down the road. You won't find a better long term comic writer that Jonathan Hickman. The pencils and colors really shine this issue as we get many pages that highlight the character. X-Men #18 is a quick but effective read.

X-Men Blue seems to have gotten better since it ditched the younger versions of the original X-Men. This has become an exciting book that has many twist and turns. Cullen Bunn continues to give fans what the want story wise, and using characters that are often overlooked is a huge bonus for fans.

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

X-Men Legends #8 is a dream come true for Wolverine fans. Larry Hama gives us two classic Logan villains in this issue that deal a lot of damage and put our hero in a tough spot. The pencils and colors this issue look great and give us amazing visuals on every page. X-Men Legends feels like the 90's never ended, and that's a good thing.

X-O Manowar has the potential to be one of the better science fiction stories out on the market today. Robert Venditti continues to pump good dialogue with realistic character moments, and an action packed story. Cary Nord has the ability to be a break out talent. If we mix all these things together we get one of the best kept secrets in comics today.

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.

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.

Apocalypse and the Xtracts is one of the better books to come out of the Age of X-Man

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.

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.

The second issue shines a little more light on the mystery that was forgotten by the Invaders and Robinson shows us a little more character development. Steve Pugh is drawing at a high level and is not afraid to show off. This could be a hit book if the quality stays at this level.

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.

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.

Battle of the Atom has been a good arc with six issues down. The writing has been sharp and on point and, for the most part, the artists have stepped up their game. This is a cross-over that has great potential, and with a strong finish, can become a fan favorite.

While this was the set up issue, it was still successful in getting readers excited for the things to come. While Brandon Peterson filled in admirably while Immonen was off the title, it is good to have him back. Bendis and Immonen understand what needs to be done to make this book great, and continue to deliver twice a month.

This series has been one of the best to come out of the Marvel Now launch and Bendis is absolutely the reason why. When Immonen is on pencils, his consistency makes the book that much better. As the crossover wraps up, Bendis and Immonen deserve a pat on the back for their work here. Even though this is not a blockbuster summer crossover, it has been more entertaining than some recent ones.

This issue of All-New X-Men was pretty good, but it will lose some readers with all the time jumping. If you can get past the all of that, it should be an enjoyable read. Bendis continues to flesh out characters that need attention and he makes them interesting. The art is as good as its ever been and Gracias colors do wonders for this title. A solid issue for one of the best books on the rack.

While the writing was very good and very funny, the art takes a dip from where it usually is. Bendis continues to impress on this title with his witty banter and character development. Mahmud Asrars work needs to improve to up the overall quality of the book. He has a lot of great artists to live up to on this book, but seems capable of it. All-New X-Men continues to be a must read for fans of the band of merry mutants.

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.

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.

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 was an interesting set up issue. Readers are left with questions as the next chapter approaches, and teaming up with the Hulk usually ends in destruction. Mike Costa is telling a fun story that puts the original five outside of their book and it is worth a read. If you have a light week on your pull list, or are a big X-Men fan, this should be a story to check out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For a first issue, this was well done by everyone involved. Jurgens and Medina seem to be on the same page and pull off a book that raises questions that the reader will want to see resolved. Jurgens gave everyone a little panel time to introduce them and Medina showed off his talent with a pencil. Hopefully this title can keep up the mystery and intrigue, because this was a solid start to a series.

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.

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.

While the Futures End one-shots have been a grab bag, this was one of the more enjoyable issues. Dan Jurgens uses all the characters well and constructs a good enough story. Sean Chen does a nice job on the artwork and leaves everything on the page.Futures End Aquaman and the Othersis one of the better issues to come out of September.

Jeremy Matcho is an employee of Amcom/ Xerox. He was born on the hard streets in Guam, and once met George Wendt at a local Jamesway department store. He was first exposed to comics at the tender age of 9, picking up X-Men #1. His favorite character then, and to this day is Cyclops. While he has been a Marvel fan for 20 years, DC is steadily becoming heavy competition. He also is the proud owner of a 2002 ford escort.

This was a pretty good issue to kick off the event. Alliances were formed, enemies became allies and someone died, so overall it was pretty successful. Rick Remender is one of the best wide scope storytellers in the business and he put a pretty good first foot forward. The art was a little dicey at first, but Adam Kubert righted the ship at the end of the issue. This has all the making to be an epic event and Remender has a great track record.

As the second chapter ends, some more pieces are falling into place. Remender is an outstanding story teller that has huge plans. As a fan, Its exciting to see each new issue come out and the new developments that come with it. The art could be better, but Adam Kubert is a good enough artist and we should trust that hell get into his groove soon. Avengers & X-Men: Axis has been a fun ride so far, lets hope it continues!

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.

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.

Bad Ass was a good under the radar little story. The ending left things open for another mini-series or even possibly an ongoing. Herik Hanna and Bruno Bessadi have a good dynamic that will hopefully be seen again in the future. If you havent read this title, give it a shot, it was fun and overall very enjoyable.

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.

Clayface comes off very likable and conniving in this issue, which make for a pretty interesting read. He's generally a character that is forgotten, but this issue makes him relevant and dangerous. Layman and Richards do a decent job of making this one shot issue worth the cover price.

Batman the Dark Knight is a title that showcases the many foes that Batman has to face, and Hurwitz is giving them life on a monthly basis. Alex Maleev continues to draw art that fits the story being told, and he gives it a depressing and dreary tone. A quality book for any Batman fan.

This was a very interesting and informative zero issue. We got all the dirt on H.A.R.D. Corps as well as a little bit more history between Bloodshot and Major Palmer. While having several different artists can be something that hampers a book, that is not the case this issue. Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps continues its streak of quality issues and creative story telling.

This issue is solid for the second chapter in a story arc. The artwork and character development are very strong in this issue, and there are some surprises to keep the reader guessing about who will actually survive. Valiant strikes again.

Where this book goes next is what is interesting. Teaming Bloodshot up with H.A.R.D. Corps opens up a lot of possibilities for great storylines in the future. As long as Dysart has his hand in this, it will always be a good read.

The start of the new arc has raised some interesting questions and split the team apart. Dyasart and Gage are professionals who always deliver action and entertainment. The art could be better and hopefully it will get there next month. Overall an enjoyable read.

Bloodshot and H.A.R.D.Corps is an action packed title that delivers with every issue. Gage and Dysart have a knack for planting seeds and building on them in future issues and this month continues the trend. While the art was sketchy (pun intended) in some places, it wont affect the overall enjoyment of this solid issue.

This has been the second crossover involving Bloodshot and it was an entertaining chapter in his mythos. Dysart and Gage have a great hold of many of the characters in the Valiant Universe and this mini-events proves that. Tom Raney has been a treat for the few issues that he worked on, hopefully he can consistently draw for Valiant because his art transfers over well. Another job well done for the duo of Dysart and Gage as they continue to mold the new Valiant universe.

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.

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.

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.

This was a good little find on the rack this month. With a solid start to a promising story Napton and Fahey have our attention. There were a few hiccups in the art department, but it shouldnt ruin the story for you. Next issue will have to be just as good as this one to keep up interest.
