Went to the comic book store on a whim today to pick up Secret Avengers #22 after having read 22.1 last week. I was blown away! This is a fantastic issue, from the art, which is very Winter Soldier-esque, to the plot, which has a covert, real-world aspect mixed with the bombastic omniverse trappings of an Avengers book. This is my first Remender book but I kinda see what all the fuss is about now.
Also I finished up Hush yesterday. Gat damn does Jeph Loeb write a lot. Every fight scene is littered with flow-of-consciousness musings from Batman about the most inane crap ever, which is so out of place when he's in the process of trying to kick someone's ass. "Catwoman. I trust her. Or do I? I must. She knows my secret. But Talia. What of her father? Distractions. He wants me to be distracted. I must clear my mind. It is the only thing that will save my life. Unlike Tommy. Oh Tommy. My childhood." Blah blah blah SHUT UP ALREADY. The book was good, but towards the end I just got so sick of Loeb and his monologues.
