Got my newest DCBS order yesterday, and since Canada gets comics today, I figured I'd start us off!
Ultimate Spider-Man #150- Man, this was a GREAT comic. Fun story, great art... The only artist I wasn't thrilled with was the one chosen for the Captain America segment. Not that it was a bad choice, but just not as great as the Iron Man and Thor segments. Skottie Young, on the other hand, was a perfect choice. I absolutely loved his segment.
Avengers #7- I can honestly say that the opening sequence in this issue might be one of the best things I've seen JR draw in years. I've heard some complaining about the pacing, but I loved that opener, even if I'm a little "Hooded out."
Deadpool- This book is laugh out loud hysterical. Daniel Way has a great knack for visual humor and timing. Deadpool's decapitation of the clone was really funny. This is easily one of my favorite books, month in and month out.
X-Men #5- I cannot say enough good things about this book. What a fun arc. Ice Man only gets a couple brief panels, but he easily steals the issue with a really inventive use of his powers. Girschler and Medina are really acing this. I'm excited for Bachalo's upcoming arc, too.
X-Force #2- I am so glad I stuck around after Kyle and Yost left. I was on the fence, but man, this book is very solid. Great character interaction and superb art. I love the new headquarters! It out Batcaves the Batcave.
Invincible Iron Man- This was awesome. This arc has dragged on too long, but if next issue is anything like this one (fast paced and action filled), it'll be a nice wrap-up.
Amazing Spider-Man #560- I spoiled myself (a little bit) on this issue, but I was STILL shocked at the opening sequence. Holy crap, Dan. I'm a little sad to see something like this happen to one of my favorite Spider-Girl characters, but we'll see where it goes.
Thunderstrike #1- Decent start. I really liked Todd Nauck's segment at the end, although the costume accuracy (both in his segment and in Frenz's) is a little TOO good. I wish they'd just stuck to showing characters whose costumes haven't changed that much (like the Vision and Quicksilver), because the ones they did show look worse than they did back then. Captain America, in particular, looks like an idiot. Why bother reminding us?
Ultimate Avengers- Why am I reading this? This book is just insanely silly. I'm also getting pretty sick of all of these "wacky" secondary versions of Ultimate characters. It's getting really over-done in this book.
Transformers: The Best of Grimlock- I LOVE the stories they picked. I'm kinda bummed that his first appearence isn't in there, but there are a few UK stories I've never read in here. Can't wait to crack into this puppy.
Also picked up: Legion of Superheroes: The Great Darkness Saga, G.I. Joe: Cobra vol. 2 and G-Man vol. 1. I've got my reading cut out for me for quite a while. :surrend:
