James Robinsons Fantastic 4 continues to impress and I love Leonard Cooks art.

Uncanny Avengers is too good.

i think this was the first issue where I realized Scott and Alex have aged considerably.
Also: I laughed at the sunfire and wolverine situation, and immediately felt bad right after. Poor guys
Going on Sunday. Tweeted Rucka to see if he was staying for Sunday and he is.

His mother more likely.

I guess he gets raised by his mom instead of his dad then?
I kind of agree about the story. However, I'd liked the voice for Elektra and that other female character that she's working for. Nothing was offensive, and with art like that I'll keep reading until the story drags.

Matt's mom was a nun, but considering you can't become one until your children are adults and she was never really in Matt's life, I imagine the sin they're referring to is abandoning her child.
Huh, is that what Original Sin's about?
I see what you did there

It's a #1, I'm always willing to let those slide on story. If they actually included enough pages in comics these days to launch a title, Marvel would charge us $4.99 for the privelage.
The storyline proper is more of a murder mystery. Someone kills the Watcher and scoops out his eyeballs.
It does raise the question of what we're going to do about regulars, though.
This guy gets it.

Spider-Man has his very own bible verse. Book of Benjamin 1:1. I'm sure it'll play a more prominent role in that story than most/all of these others.

It was kind of skipped over when I posted earlier but have there been any recent Deadpool runs worthy of note?
Mainly the new Marvel Now! version or whatever. I missed out on all the Deadpool Corps and everything that went on with that as well. Is any of it worthy of being picked up?

I can't vouch for it, but when it comes up people usually say the new Deadpool is pretty fun if you can endure its mediocre opening arc.
I think the previews on ASM #1 show another women being bitten by the radioactive spider IIRC

Original Sin #0 was interesting. Pretty cool for the start of an event to be so new reader friendly. I'm on board for my first Marvel event even though events have pretty much get old too quick and don't move fast enough. Let's see how it goes.

Shot in the dark but have you read Uncanny X-Force? If not, read that, some could argue that Deadpool is the star of the show.

Yo, I checked out the first issue when it came out. Enjoyed the premise despite feeling the first issue was light on content. #2 came out today?
Marvel Now! Deadpool is good.
Issue 3 came out today. It's a shame Image books don't come with a digital code, I'd give it to you to check out.

Read all 12 of my books and Uncanny Avengers was my book of the week. Remender is awesome.
Top 5
5. Red Lanterns
4. All-New Invaders
3. Batman Eternal
2. Justice League United
1. Uncanny Avengers
Biggest surprise was The Flash #30. The book was quality and was a fight for my 5th spot on the list up there. I was not disappointed by any of my books this week and that's awesome.
Top 5 and Flash, Fantastic 4, Daredevil, Original Sin, Elektra, Aquaman, and even a Lobdell written Superman were entertaining. Today was a good day.

Ah, thanks for the thought! Man, I totally lost track of Fuse--I'm going to try to track down the second issue before I cop the third. Otherwise, I'm going to have to trade-wait this one.

The binding is stellar. Now, just add All New Doop to your pull-list already!
Elektra #1: it's not fair comparing it to a comic that doesn't exist but hopefully my boy Zeb gets his shot at the character again one day with someone as good as del Mundo. This isn't bad at all but it does make mistake numero uno for Elektra comics and also: the obsession with flappers? Kinda annoying!
Uncanny Avengers #19: maintains its status as the only essential monthly superhero comic as superhero comic (Daredevil is good but it's never "I gotta read this now" good). Pound for pound The Best.

You should. I just got into it myself, it's pretty great.

Psylocke and Fantomex are the stars of the show. Deadpool is the comic relief. He's great in it but not really in the spotlight much.

Checking out the solicits, new print of Alias Omnibus! 
Edit: and yeah, no Amazing Spidey or Uncanny X-Men for some reason...

I didn't even know the Marvel solicits were up for July. Alias omnibus reprint? Yes please!
EDIT: rofl, great minds, and all that.

I said some could argue. I would say he had the most character development. His moment with Evan at the end would have never happened at the beginning of the book. Fantomex would be a close second.

On the count of three, name your favorite dinosaur. Don't even think about it. Just name it. Ready? One, two, three.

100th Anniversary Specials? Did i miss an announcement?
YO JAMES STOKOE DRAWING AVENGERS THOUGH
there's a lot in these solicits gettin' me stoked. Ron Wimberly doing an issue of She Hulk? Skottie Young doing a Rocket Raccoon series? Alan Davis doing a Hulk book? shiiiiiiiii man. I guess that Ron Lim/Dean White GOTG book isn't until August then, though. Saw a print of what it'd look like at wondercon and it looks pretty tight
