The Mighty Thor: #16-#20. Still a massive disappointment – woeful art and still that annoying font Marvel use as an excuse for Asgardian speak.

 

JIM: #641-#644. A nice Alan Moore homage but I grow tired of these Gods.

 

Destroyer: #1-#5 – Robert Kirkman writes a Marvel Max book – and it’s a very strange one indeed.

 

Total: 1853

30 Days of Night: Prequel, #1-#3 & Epilogue - Dark Days: #1-#6.

 

What could have been an interesting take on the vampire story is ruined by some of the worst art I've ever seen in a comic book. It may have been drawn that way to create mood but all it does for me is make it fairly impossible to see what is actually going on.

#367 - 368 - Night Force #4-5... Although the story is interesting, I have doubts about the main character who appears to be an ineffective version of the Shade.

 

#369 - 370 - Planetoid #1-2... Big monster machine planet and no way to escape? Whats not to love!

 

#371-373 - Rachel Rising #1-3... Terry Moore takes the Zombie concept and makes it artistic and interesting. A mixture of i,Zombie and serious story telling.

Its different to i-Zombie, but shares a similar theme. I would definately recommend it.

 

#374-376 - Rachel Rising #4-6... the plot thickens as more characters are introduced.

Destroyer: #1-#5 – Robert Kirkman writes a Marvel Max book – and it’s a very strange one indeed.

 

Avengers vs X-Men: #12. The end, and what do we have – the death of a major character (until they come back to life), a Royal separation and the undoing of a recent Marvel Event. I wish they hadn’t bothered.

 

AVX vs: #6. More of the same nonsense.

 

Avengers Academy: #38. Yawn.

 

ASM: 695. Double yawn.

 

Avenging Spider-Man: #13. Somebody please save me from having to ever read another book that has Deadpool in it.

 

AVX Consequences: #1 & #2. This was interesting and proved to be a much better read than the series that preceded it.

 

Cpt America: #18. Hail Hydra! A decent read with some nice artwork.

 

Fantastic Four: #611. A disappointing end to Marvel’s flagship title.

 

Secret Avengers: #32. Evil Ant Man gets ready to be evil and Flash Thompson gets it on with Valkyrie.

 

Invincible Iron Man: #526. Tony Stark enlists some old foes to take down the Mandarin.

 

Ultimate X-Men: #17. Ultimate yawn.

 

Uncanny X-Men: #1. A strangely dull first issue becomes faintly ridiculous with the appearance of the Goat Faced Girl and is only salvaged by the last page of the book.

 

Daredevil: #19. Another great cover as DD’s mind starts to unravel – or is it all just a villainous plot?

 

Mighty Thor: #621. Mythical Mogadon.

 

Marvel Zombies Halloween: Deathly dull.

 

New Avengers: #31. A magical mystery tour.

 

Ultimate Iron Man: #1. Nothing of interest here.

 

Ultimate Spider-Man: #16. Spidey joins the Ultimates and Cap becomes President of the USA without any help from binders of women.

 

Total: 1888

#377... Planetoid #3 - Continues to be an interesting read, sci-fi fans should read it. I could see this becoming a TV show.

 

#378... The Phantom Stranger - Hmmm, I'll wait until I've read more but so far nothing stellar.

 

#379 - 380... Proof Endangered #1-2 - Never read the original but this book provides enough backstory to bring me up to speed, throroughly enjoyed the 1st two issues.
