My Reading List

Casanova: Avaritia IV; "I wrote Great Expectations! Fuck you!"

New Mutants #44 has the Silver Surfer eating pizza. SOLD!

Uncanny X-Men #14; Mister Sinister being sinister.

Batwoman #10; not sure this book had the pacing to end on a "wait. what?" but it did. Felt abrupt in an issue full of abrupt half stops.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splinter; this new continuity is just so perfectly weird.

My Reading List

Scarlet Spider #6; the fact that the name makes Kaine cringe is amusing to me.

X-Men Legacy #268; Frenzy being Frenzy. Kicking asses, having flashbacks, defying orders.

Spider-Men #1; this could be really fun, or really depressing, but ideally will manage a balance of both.

Ultimate Comics X-Men #13; I was wondering when they'd come back to the team in New York.

AvX VS #3 has punching, shooting, stabbing and Russian. I may install the Marvel AR app that provides translations.

Now I've got to run away and watch Dawn of the Seeker. Later.

My Reading List

Going to make an effort to get more consistent with doing this again. Repeat until habit, right?

Creator-Owned Heroes #1; I enjoyed both stories, but was a bit overwhelmed by the shear amount of back matter. I'll wade through it at some point, the cover layout should have been a tip that this was more a magazine with comics then a comic book.

X-Factor #237; This team still needs a therapist on staff.

Journey Into Mystery #639; Don't worry, Kid Loki, my mom didn't get the reference either.

Defenders #7; I will buy just about anything with the Silver Surfer, that's an empirically provable fact. Defenders is doing something I love with it's plot: A Secret History that could, but doesn't, upset the status quo of it's shared universe for internally consistent reasons.

Mighty Thor Annual #1; I will buy just about anything with the Silver Surfer, that's an empirically provable fact. Thor and The Surfer fight space monsters? Sold!
