Interesting.
Storm reforming her team? Just as long as none of my favourite X-Men die this time then I don’t mind it coming back.

This Week’s Comics: 15/02/12
Welcome to This Week’s Comics!
This week I have a lot more out than what’s normal for this time of the month. Enough of the poor introductions, let’s get to what we’re here for - comics!
This week I have:
DC:
Batman #6: Just one release from DC this week. Batman needs his Justice League to go out with him so he’s not alone, DC! Never mind about odd scheduling, Batman is still an amazing read and my initial worries about an 11 part opener have gone out the window if Snyder and Capullo keep up the rocket high standards. If you haven’t been following this book, then you are a fool.
Marvel:
Amazing Spider-Man #679.1: Amazing Spider-Man has been worthy of its title pretty much since the end of Spider-Island. The Waid 2-parter was brilliant and when Slott’s time comes to an end on the book, he should definitely be considered a candidate to take on Spidey for a few more years. But enough about Waid, in this issue we get more exploration on Morbius and his job at Horizon. It should be interesting, although vampires aren’t my interest, I like Morbius. So it should be fun. If not I can just stare and admire the pretty cover.
Avengers #22: This HAMMER war has been going relatively well. Not amazing but not horrific. After last issue, the Avengers are in Osborn’s hands again. They’ll probably escape and Osborn will get one over the team again somehow. If the cover is anything to go by then a Gorgon/Cap scrap should be interesting.
Daredevil #9: My top book of 2011 is easily on course to become my top book of 2012! Waid is far from running out of steam on this book. After last issue’s stirring cliffhanger, I’m interested to see where things go here. Mole Man vs Daredevil should be fun. Marcos Martin art! What more could you want? Like with Batman, if you aren’t following this title then you are a fool.
Invincible Iron Man #513: Invincible Iron Man has been pretty much consistently enjoyable since the end of Fear Itself. Mandarin continues to advance with his grand plan and once again Iron Man is on the run from the law. I’ve always enjoyed this run and hopefully this issue will serve to be just as great as previous issues. If not, I’ve always got Salvador’s art to gawp over.
New Avengers #21: Ragnarok! New Avengers! Fight! This should be an interesting fight after the team took a battering from the Dark Avengers last issue. I’ve enjoyed the HAMMER war over in this title much more than in Avengers. Let’s hope this issue continues the trend.
Uncanny X-Men #7: The Tabula Rasa story continues here and so far it’s been brilliant. That more than likely has something to do with the story relating to Uncanny X-Force, but anyway Uncanny at the moment has been brilliant and I hope this issue keeps up the high standards.
Venom #13.2: So far my decision to return to following Venom hasn’t been a bad one as the past two issues have been great, I even enjoyed last issue despite it being Ghost Rider-centric. X-23 gets the spotlight in this issue, so I should enjoy this part of Circle of Four even more!
Winter Soldier #2: The debut issue of this book was just as brilliant as I imagined it would be. If the quality of last issue is maintained then this title could prove to be competition for Daredevil and knock him off his perch as my top book.
AvX: Should we be looking forward to this event?
I probably shouldn’t be excited for this event given the quality of recent Marvel events (exception to that being Siege). But for some reason, I’m really excited for this one. Phoenix returning, Avengers and X-Men beating the crap out of each other? Scarlet Witch! All of this could potentially make for the best Marvel event in years.
The teaser posters of the fights have only served to increase my excitement for the event! My favorite being Storm vs Thor with Coipel art.
But then part of me doesn’t want to look forward to this. After Fear Itself it’d be understandable if everyone boycotted the next few events (cause lets face it Marvel will have another one teased before the last issue of AvX is out!). But there’s something about this one that’s peaked my interest. Maybe it’s because all of the Architects are working on this together, instead of just one writer. Fraction, who clearly isn’t the strongest at working with a large cast would probably be directed or given pointers by more experienced writers at handling teams (Bendis, Aaron, Hickman). The fact that each stage is limited should stop people like Bendis from dragging plotlines out longer than normal too. Whatever it is, I’m excited for this event. I’ll probably pay the price for looking forward to this one. After all, I started getting excited for Fear Itself after reading the Prelude and look how that one turned out.

New DC Logos
I don’t really like them. At a first glance I only saw a C the first time. Personally think they should have stuck to the old one.

No Manners? General ignorance? No social skills? Inability to smile? Tendency to play music so loudly that the customer can’t hear themselves think?
Yeah then you’re the top candidate to work in Forbidden Planet!
