Amazing Spider-Man 006 – amazingly dull.

Avengers 34.1 – clichéd nonsense.

Death of Wolverine 02 – .

Edge of Spider-Verse 001 – pretty good.

Fantastic Four 010 – the continuing sad decline of a once great book.

Hawkeye 020 – quirky.

Inhuman 005 – interesting.

Magneto 009 – excellent.

Ms. Marvel 008 – pretty good.

In my pile, I've only read the Wolvie issue, which I agree - was 'meh' but the last part gave me hope for issue #3. Looking forward to Kitty.

 

I really want Captain Marvel to hit like all of her previous titles - since the restart, this one has been a bit jumbled. I haven't read 7 yet, but will this week.

 

Thanks for keeping this up!

Yeah, I agree with all of that - Captain Marvel has been a bit hit and miss so far.

As you all know I loathe Marvel’s policy and I really did not think I would do such a thing, but this evening I bought the last two issues of Ms. Marvel (#6 and #7, #8 has yet to arrive here).

 

This title has something different, and in some way it’s gracious, despite the initial "confusion".

I like how she met with Wolverine, and some explanation on her powers as well…

 

 

 

Alright on the Fantastic Four…

 

And… no, I no longer like Peter David. Not in the least.

Ms. Marvel has been excellent the last few issues.

And the new artist is nice, he still has time to improve but nice… although the cartoon styled "takes" are a bit out of place sometimes – they should be more spare.

 

But Wolverine was Wolverine, the way Kamala Khan deals with the Marvel characters being both real and works of fiction refers to the established tradition started by Roy Thomas (I recall Fantastic Four #176, Marvel Two-In-One Annual #1 and many others), and we finally see why her powers are weird…

Overall the book is graceful and unpretentious, and somewhats gets back to the kind of respect I expect for the characters. Good stuff, definitely "out of the box", for now.

I've liked ASM Learning to Crawl. It's been solid story and art wise. One thing that it struggles with however, is it can't seem to figure out what era it is in. While it's supposed to be set after ASM#1 and before ASM#3, exactly when is hard to figure. One the one hand there are people on cell phones, but on there other there are guys wearing fedoras. I'm sure they're trying to be ambiguous with it so you can't age the characters, but it's a weird quirk.

Ms. Marvel has been excellent the last few issues.

 

I may have to get back into it. I tried for the first few issues (I liked the art) but the story wasn't doing anything for me. I'll give it another whirl.

I did enjoy the Spiderverse #2 where Gwen Stacy becomes Spiderwoman. I sure would like to see that world continue on.

[Comicopolis]

All-New Invaders 010 – interesting.

All-New X-Factor 014 – excellent, featuring a drunk Scarlet Witch.

All-New X-Men 032 – pretty good.

Avengers 035 – I gave up on this terrible book.

Black Widow 011 – pretty good.

Bucky Barnes The Winter Soldier 001 – disappointing.

Daredevil 008 – the children of the Purple Man – superb.

Death of Wolverine 03 – OK.

Edge of Spider-Verse 2-4 – good, terrible, excellent.

Fantastic Four Annual 001 – not bad.

Guardians 3000 001 – terrible writing meets even worse art.

Guardians of the Galaxy 019 – cosmic.

Hulk 006 – pretty good.

Hulk Annual 001 – dumb.

Inhuman 006 – poor.

Legendary Star-Lord 004 – mildly interesting.

Loki Agent of Asgard 006 – decent.

 

[Comicopolis]

Magneto 010 – first class.

Men of Wrath 001 – bloody.

Mighty Avengers 014 – an improvement.

Moon Knight 008 – art shot through a video camera – I didn’t like it.

New Avengers 024 – ponderous and pretentious.

Original Sin Thor & Loki 005 – dull.

Savage Hulk 004 – yawn.

Secret Avengers 008 – better.

Silver Surfer 006 – quirky & enjoyable.

Spider-Man 2099 004 – dull.

Storm 003 - not bad.

Superior Spider-Man 033 - pretty good.

Thor - God of Thunder 025 – two parts good, one part not so good.

Thor 001 – intriguing.

Thunderbolts 031 – poor.

Uncanny Avengers 025 – dire.

Uncanny X-Men 026 - not bad.

So you enjoyed Thor 1? I ordered a copy on eBay as it was sold out at my LCS and it got strong reviews.

 

I'm glad to see your still enjoying Black Widow. I'm really liking the book.

 

Did you ever pick back up Cyclops?
