Avengers #19
Say what you will about Brian Micheal Bendis, but I just can't stop loving this book. Unfortunately, Spider-Man and Wolverine aren't on the team anymore, but the Vision...IS! I'm still wondering how it even happened, because isn't the Vision's body with the Young Avengers? Of course, I could be missing something that occurs in Avengers: The Children's Crusade...Also, not a huge fan of Acuna's art, but I guess it could be worse.
Justice League #3
Wonder Woman is a serious badass. She's like a female Thor who works for the US government. I like Cyborg's new origin-not so much blame on his Dad. Most of all, I love Jim Lee's art, which has remained phenomenal throughout this.
Green Lantern #3
This is why I love Green Lantern. Sinestro and Hal Jordan working together is perfect-the positive and the negative, the yin and the yang. Sinestro's chemistry with Hal is perfect. It's a bit like their team-up in Green Lantern: Secret Origin. Doug Mahnke, as usual, draws like the master he is.
Point One
This...wasn't what I expected. Sure, there were good stories-the Dr. Strange and Scarlet Spider stories were the standout-but it just wasn't the "Rosetta Stone of 2012" we were promised. The big hints at 2012's Phoinex storyline, mainly told as a Nova story. Yes, I said Nova. That Nova. Or maybe not That Nova. Actually, I have no idea who this Nova is, how/if he came back, or what the ending meant. If somebody wants to explain it to be, let me know. The Ultron/Avengers story, which I was looking forward to, was a bit hard to see and understand. All we have is Hawkeye and Spider-Man running from some suicide-bombing Ultrons. How they got there and who they're interacting with is never explained. The X-Men stories were decent, but it's not my favorite series.
Avengers Academy #22
This the reason why I love this book. Maybe it wasn't the best decision to divert from the huge cliffhanger and the murder storyline to a Quicksilver/Finesse/Magneto storyline, but it sure turned out great. Sean Chen's art is a bit like a replacement Mick McKone to me (I miss him so much), but it's not something I hate seeing every month. Well, every month before this. This was his last issue. Well, as long as Christos Gage is on this book, I'm sure it'll be great.
Fear Itself #7.2
This has me confused. Very, very confused. Alright. So, when Thor's body is being cerimonially burned in a Asgardian ceremony, Tanarus, Celtic thunder god, rises from his ashes. Suddenly, nobody but Loki remembers Thor...I actually had to read the recap page from the Mighty Thor #7 for that. Apparently, in every memory Thor used to be in, Tanarus is in his place. This makes me wonder...was Tanarus there first, and Thor took his place in everybody's memories?!?!
Fear Itself #7.3
This is why Iove Iron Man. A Fraction-Larroca special is delivered, that being an emotional yet action packed story. While you don't get right into Iron Man's head, you see him question the world around him, and if there is a God, why would he let horrible things like Fear Itself happen? He has a pretty good conversation with Odin, and has some great interactions with the Grey Gargoyle. I want to renew my subscription soooo badly.
