Default Re: have you THOUGHT about what you've BOUGHT 4/27 (bitches)?

CAPTAIN AMERICA #5: Of course it was great! Why wouldn't it be? More awesome use of obscure Marvel continuity.

CITY OF TOMORROW #1: Pretty good. See review thread.

DAREDEVIL #72: Great issue. The "Daredevil" title may be a bit misleading though...but if/when this all dovetails back into the DD story, it'll be worth it.

NEW AVENGERS #5: And the team is assembled. Good issue, good use of the characters.

SUPREME POWER #16: Another great issue.

ULTIMATE SECRET #2: Good issue, but felt a little too transitional (they just spent the entire issue moving chess pieces).

RISING STARS VOLUME 3: FIRE AND ASH: The final trade. Reads very well as a third act.

Did you see the Adam Hughes cover to Kabuki #4?
I'm real happy with how that turned out.
And check out the pencils to it in the back of the book.
Amazing work.

This has to be the best week in comics ever. Every issue had something different to offer and every artist was on the top of their game. I'm going to be rereading every single one of these issues over and over again until they get so beaten up that I have to buy the trade.

I highlited the best of the week but every single issue was fucking outstanding!!!

Daredevil 72: The best example of how great a book can be without the main character being in it. Solid story, great characters and beautiful art. This is why Bendis is king.

Sleeper 11: I wasn't ready for this. Fuck. I know the story is almost over and there is no way it could have ended well but this is an even harsher ending than I was expecting. Fuck Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

Captain America 5: Pretty good. I know Bru wants to shake things up and by making Bucky a cold blooded killer is one way to do that.

Batman/Superman 19: The best issue of this book I think. Read almost like one of the WB cartoons. Nice to see Loeb making this Supergirl interesting and using Identity Crisis and Hush.

Authority 7: Holy fuck was this ish great. Knocked this up there with Millar and Ellis' runs. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect comic. Great job.

WonderWoman 215: Good stuff. Not a big fan of the mythology stuff to be honest but the new creative team is a fucking wet dream for anybody with taste. Really enjoyed reading the story and looking at the purdy pictures. Morales/Bair are the best DC has at the moment and with Rucka this book can do no wrong

New Avengers 5: Fun fun fun fun fun. Don't have to say anything else. Fun fun fun fun fun.

Young Avengers 3: Forgot this last week. Great issue with tons of things to geek out over. Patriots identity is fucking genius. I was already in love with this book but this ish kicked it up even more.

Goddammit. Two weeks in a row Diamond screwed over my shop. Last week they forgot to send Amazing, now Cap this week. Wtf??? Well, it was still a solid week. I guess I have incentive to go to the shop next week now.

New Avengers- PICK OF THE WEEK! No surprise there, I assume. Lots of action, some big surprises, unused/underused characters and fantastic art. 9/10

Daredevil- The surprise of the week. All in all, Decalogue wasn't something I was very excited about. I'm much more excited for "The Murdock Papers", but this issue really sold me. A great story that used some good bits of DD continuity. Maleev is simply mind blowing as usual. I honestly feel like DD would make a helluvan HBO series, because that's what Bendis' run feels like. 9/10

House of M Sketchbook- Maybe I shouldn't rank this, but how can you deny the sweetness of this freebie? 9/10

Amazing Spiderman- pretty cool. I agree that the second half was pretty blah, but the rest was really cool. This arc has a lot more potential than it's given credit for. 8/10

Pheonix Endsong- Nothing surprising, but solid writing and nice art. Oh, and that cover is just beautiful. 8/10

AoA- An interesting ending. Kind of rushed though. I would pick up another mini about Kirika, Silver Samurai, Sunfire and Psylock's adventure in Japan in a heartbeat though. 8/10

Forgot Batman 639: Lot of fun. I might become a Winick fan yet.

Daredevil #72 - Um Awesome. I stopped recommending this title to non-Daredevil fans because let's face it, with all of the references this is an arc dedicated to Daredevil fans. Where Brian is tying in the rest of the Marvel Universe in his other titles, Daredevil stands alone. He's tying in the rest of Daredevil's mythology into this arc and Matt Murdock's reign as King of Hell's Kitchen. Story was beautiful and I feel pity for those who don't like this arc.

New Avengers #5 - Eh.... some cool scenes but I'm not a fan of the revealations. I mean the big fuss was just over some savage land mutants?

Ultimate Secret #2 - like 50x better than the last issue. This one perfectly balanced out action, comedy, scientific mumbo jumbo, and characterizations. Great great read. My only complaint is this whole trilogy taking place before Ultimates 2.... just seems really bad like the coming of Galactus really has no impact on the Ultimate Universe.
