This Week in Comics - Marvel Comics


Sorry for the lateness again but this week we received 11 titles and it has taken me some time to work through them. As always X-Factor is a pure joy to read and floats to the top of the stack for what I read that week. While on the topic of X titles, Uncanny leads us into a crossover with Dark Avengers called Utopia. Matt Fraction is doing a great job writing our favorite mutants and the road to the Dark X-Men looks to be a great read. On the other hand, Astonishing X-Men has sunk to the bottom of the pile and is almost a pass. Warren Ellis has done very little to follow up Joss Whedon's great two year run. New Avengers wraps up its story arc that lead us to our new Sorcerer Supreme, Brother Voodoo. Bendis has once again scored another great story and made the Hood an A grade villain.
I have yet to dig into the DC portion of my stack, how sad is that. But if Animal Man is any indication then I might have been right to hold off this long.
