Avenging Spider-man #4

Congratulations Marvel!  I now hate mask-less Hawkeye as a character and not just as a character design.

Pull list for the week of February 15th, 2012.

Eagerly anticipating Batman this week, although Avenging Spider-man and Daredevil are sure to be good.

Hey, maybe we’ll finally get some answers in X-Factor?

New Mutants #37

I read Wolverine and the X-men first this week and it was wonderful, but damn if New Mutants didn’t blow that out of the water.

Best.  Mephisto.  Ever.

I really like where this is going.

Wolverine and the X-men #5

That art.  Everyone should be reading this book.

No matter how good the writing on Uncanny X-men is, it can never be the equal of this, at least until Marvel finds a better artist.

Amazing Spider-man #679

The two issue arc in ASM #678-679 is excellent.  Sure, it’s a rather conventional sci-fi premise, but wonderfully executed.

This would be a great jumping on point and in fact, I’m pretty sure it would be an enjoyable read by itself, even for someone who hadn’t been following Spider-man for the last few years.

Fantastic Four #602

I knew FF and Fantastic Four were going to be great this week, but between them, they are flawless.  I’m not sure I can remember when two books coming out the same day fit together like this — thank you Marvel, for getting the scheduling right on these.

While I have no idea what Jonathan Hickman’s scripts look like, with a plot like this, I’m envisioning a room wallpapered with notes and red string, à la A Beautiful Mind.

Really looking forward to FF.

New Mutants #36

Didn’t disappoint. I’m so very glad that Abnett and Lanning took over this title. Please don’t ever die again Doug.

The rest of the week was pretty good, with the exception of Greg Land’s art on Uncanny X-men.  Doesn’t it seem unfair to saddle Cyclops’s side with awful artwork while Bachalo is killing it on Wolverine and the X-men?

As far as everything else goes, both Amazing Spider-man and Avenging Spider-man were great this week and the dialogue in Avenging was particularly superb.  But wow, I can’t wait for the next issue of Batman.

I tremendously hate it when artists do that whole boobs-and-ass-facing-forward shitty pose. You’d be surprised how common it is, even among non-deviantart artists!

THIS.

Preach.

Impossible not to reblog.
