The week leading up to Christmas was as slow as expected. As usual, The "Gang War" and "FAll of X" storylines are dominated by pull lists. Hickman's "G.O.D.S." book dropped another issue and a few more Spider comics. And while all of these books were ok, I must admit that my best read from this list has to be the collected 4 volumes of Brian Michael Bendis' "Powers". Comic Book of The Week: Powers Collection Vol. 1–4 I first read Powers when I got through the first volume of Bendis' run on Marvel's New Avengers. After going back and reading his Daredevil, and…

As expected, this week's pull list was pretty weak. We had a few 'Fall of X' titles, Moon Knight meets his ends, another interesting issue of the new Outsiders, and Marvel's street-level heroes continued the 'Gang War'. The list as a whole was pretty 'mid', but if I had to pick one book from the bunch, It would be: Comic of The Week: Miles Morales: Spider-man #13 To be honest, I've been enjoying this "Gang War" story more than I expected to. I always enjoy it when we focus on heroes on the street. In this issue, Peter Parker's strike team to…

As the year quickly wraps up, we comic book readers know the pickings start to get slim on Wednesdays. This week, (with the exception of one Bat book) it was all Marvel. Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly reboot The Thunderbolts once again under The Winter Soldier's leadership, Jason Loo launches Sentry #1 with a new take on the character, the street-level heroes continued with the ongoing "Gang War" storyline this week in Amazing Spider-man, and we got some solid issues of X-Men, the Avengers, and Batman. But the pick of the week (as usual) has to go to:  Comic Book of The…

When it comes to the end of the year, comic books become slim pickings. We're smack in the middle of the holiday season and normally nothing groundbreaking happens for releases, so you take what you can get. I love this time because it gives me time to catch up on a lot of stuff I missed... mostly DC books. There's a ton of Batman stuff I need to catch up on, so I'm good to keep it slow, knowing that major events will start pouring in early next year. Still, we got some treats sprinkled in this week. Marvel quietly…

Comic of The Week: The Invicible Iron Man #12 Since it's Thanksgiving week, comics were a little scarce. But I can't tell you how much I've been enjoying this current run of The Invincible Iron Man. Cleverly inserting Tony Stark smack dab in the middle of the X-Men's Fall of X storyline, and pairing him with the unlikely partner (and now wife) Emma Frost has been an enjoyment of snarkiness and quips. I was a little apprehensive when I first heard Gerry Duggen would be penning this volume of Iron Man. But he's done an excellent job, and it's got me going…

Book of The Week: Outsiders #1 That's right! In a week where there are Spider-man, X-Men, and Avengers comics, I pull a swerve and pick a DC book as my favorite for this week. Why? For a number of reasons. The big one is I'm a big fan of Batwoman as a character. But to be real, she hasn't had a good story since Greg Rucka and JH Williams ran in Detective Comics back in 2009. Throw in Luke Fox (Batwing), and there might be something here. This volume of Outsiders also seems to buck the tradition of being led by…
