Amadeus Cho Hulk was a fun read, surprising. The cameos and humor was spot on for me, and i'm saying this as a guy who never had interest in Banner or Hulk, outside of World War Hulk (in which i was tuning in more for the fukkery than anything else).

With ANAD Avengers, I feel it would've been better if they'd done this first 3 issue "origin" arc as a giant sized #1... just to get it out of the way. Because nobody cares about this Chitaurian guy and things are kinda dragging as we wade through all this set up. Compare it to the Ultimates in which the team is already assembled, they're already on their first big mission and the cliff hanger lets us know that formalities are over and we've hit the ground running with a reputable 'villain'.. All in issue #1.

And the Alex Ross covers aside, the art in ANAD is surprisingly subpar... like, how do you not get a top artist on the 'flagship' book? They should've put the guy on Invincible Iron Man or an equivalent on this.

I don't understand it. Marvel has Stefano Caselli doing art like this on that new Inhumans book:

But they are allowing sloppy rush job art like this on what should be a more important Avengers book:

 

[OmegaK2099]

read the issue where young jean meets oldman logan


bought the harley quinn little black book thing on the wonder woman issue, i got the ink cover by j scott campbell


arkham knight remains decent, especially in this issue where arkham knight fights scarecrow

Daredevil looks promising (10 fingers though?)

Picked up Hulk, X-men, GOTG, and Spidey too, haven't got to read any of them.

Any idea what hip hop variants are dropping next week?

 

[BXKingPin82]

Im sorry...
This may be the stan in me talking
But Daredevil gotta be the dopest character in comics
"I am Matt Murdock..."
"I am Daredevil..."
"I am not afraid!"

That Tenfingers thing, yeesh.

The art on Daredevil reminds me a lot of way back when he was rocking the armor and Elektra had no hair. That Snakeroot storyline.

 

[TheGodling]

That Tenfingers reveal was so random, like they build dude up for the entire issue and the big reveal is he's some Chinese dude who's got ten fingers on each hand.

The Sheriff Of Babylon was fukking great. I don't want to spoil it so I'll just say it reads like Sicario taking place during the Iraqi War... as if written by Warren Ellis (it is really written by Omega Men's Tom King).

Speaking of Warren Ellis, James Bond continues to be awesome. I really hope he stays on this book for a long period, this is the most I've enjoyed anything James Bond related since Casino Royale.

Meanwhile Ennis finally finished All-Star Section Eight and shyt on the full canon of the DC universe by suggesting it's just the imagination of a drunken bum in an alley way.

Too bad about the "new" Section Eight team, but at least the legend of Dogwelder lives on.

How are the All- New X-men and Hulk books?

tony got some crazy shyt with the suits making themselves and remoteing them in...

 

[Bigbigguy]

Sheriff Of Babylon was excellent. Initially I was just planning on getting the first issue then wait for it to get collected since its a mini but I'm getting it monthly now

Nailbiter was great as usual and Unfollow is also promising

 

[MenacingMonk]

Apocalypse Wars coming next year. Running thru all 3 X-Men books. I'll wait for the trade.

Anyone read Red Wolf? I only copped it for the HH variant. It was good, but that ending tho.

 

[nieman]

I picked up ANAD Avengers, Red Wolf, Daredevil, Extraordinary X-Men & Robin War. I liked them all, but Extraordinary was the weakest link. I'm really not feeling the Logan Jeen relay - and Old Man isn't the real Logan but still the O5 are the real?

Avengers really does feel like a spinoff team. They need a few more vets.

Robin War really surprised me. I really effs with Damien, especially when he interacts with Drake & Jason.

Brehs, I'm late but how is Captain America Sam Wilson? I might start reading that. Also how many issues is that series in?

It's pretty good. The best and most prominent Sam has been written in a long time, plus Misty Knight, D-Man are fun supporting cast, and the whole social media/fan perspective mockery is hilarious.

I'm not quite sure how i feel about issue 3 and the implications there, but I'd def say check out the first 2 issues at least, to get a feel for it.
