What on earth is that?
There are some really good ones IMO.
It's a homage to The Life of Pablo, by Kanye.

Oh. I wonder what cabinet position Trump is going to appoint Kanye to.
Kanye is going to be the next president after Trump.
6 issues to go. I feel like future quest is a limited series but I have proof yet

New Guardians issue is a done in one masterpiece. Really don't get where y'all come from on this book.
How do you guys pronounce Busiek?

Anyway, I'm reading through his Avengers run from the late 90s and early 00s and I'm thoroughly engaged. I skipped the Wrecking Crew issues that weren't written by him. I'm about to finish the Kulan Gath arc, right before the Kang Dynasty. I get the impression that his depth of knowledge about the Marvel universe is vast, which opens all sorts of paths to explore that I would likely never even know existed, plus I think he does a super job of laying the groundwork for stories throughout the run that lead to satisfying confrontations and conclusions later on. I LOVED Avengers Forever and Ultron Unlimited, and I'm really excited to read Kang Dynasty. They all heavily feature a couple of my absolute favorite comic villains, and he's done a great job with them so far. It makes me want to read his Thunderbolts stuff, too.

Dazzler and Emma taking down Black Bolt was genius. This was much less "DRAW FIGHTING" and much more "Oh here are interesting smart conflicts.

Even in Death of X they had some creative stuff at the end
such as using Alchemy, knowing how resistant to psionics the Royal Family is, etc
I'll have to pick it up ASAP then

ASM Renew Your Vows #2 was very good. It's nice to have a grown Peter by a different creative team again. Enjoying the family angle a lot too. Bringing MJ into the mix really helps to separate it from Batman and Superman raising their children and fighting crime.
Hawkeye #1 was... OK. Not bad or anything but not crazy about it. I'll give it one more issue to grab me.

I didn't like how the Hawkeye touches were done in the computer lettering, and not built into the art.
otherwise, great stuff.

Spider-Man #10
yep this is Bendis best book right now. Probably one of the most powerful spider-man issues I have ever read. I don't want to see anyone else write Miles.
Power man and Iron fist #11
this series has definitely taken on a whole different tone thanks to the events of civil war. This issue was more of big setup. I didn't mind it because it is not everyday a cape book goes into depth when it comes to the bad guys. The book just feels more serious nowadays. I miss the jokes and fun of the first arc. Still a solid book though.

Oh my God Squirrel Girl 15 is nuts. Pun intended
My boy Taskmaster getting serious and soloing Hulk Captain America Miss Marvel America Chavez Hellcat Spider-Man Iron Man Squirrel Girl and more.
It was spoiled weeks ago in the new Iron Man series and Infamous Iron Man.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Bendis spoiled his own event in the two IM books
make that Spider-man as well.
I didn't even need to read civil war to know how it is going down.

You know, I have a lot of respect for Giuseppe Camuncoli. He's clearly a workhorse who stays on schedule, his action scenes look fantastic, his "camera work" and composition are phenomenal. BUT man. An artist who does everything well EXCEPT faces really breaks the deal. Women especially, he has a hard time mixing up, and Anna Marie just looks like a child. Actually, it seems like he rushes faces a lot and they just don't look good. When he puts more time in, and there's more detail, he CAN do well.
Captain America: Steve Rogers #7
the perfect issue that proves Red Skull has what it takes to actually succeed this time. The plot twist at the end was cray.
Nick spencer is putting in work at marvel. They better never let him go.
this is not a battle of brawn but a batle of wits between red skull and cap.

That's not a leak. It's a page from this week's issue of Spider-Man.
It also doesn't give us any information we don't already have. Death remains unconfirmed and unlikely.

So, you'd like him to leave eventually?
:}}
that was a grammar mistake. meant to say don't let him go.
I mean if he feels he can produce a better story elsewhere then so be it but I love his stuff with the cap books, and feel he can tackle other books at marvel once he is done with them.
I feel like I am learning while reading his books.

Like, I haven't been that particularly fond of the Civil War event, but I've found Miles' tie-in's to be pretty strong.
I'm also excited for that Spider-Gwen crossover coming up. I really enjoyed the Spider-Women crossover from earlier this year so it should be a fun read.
a lot of the civil war tie ins made a lot of books more serious about social/justice issues but Spider-man is one of the few that executed it amazingly. I am also extremely eager for the cross over. I plan to read some Gwen spidey as well to prepare.

Yeah, I love his two cap books too. Didn't think Ant-Man was all that great, though.

Ant-Man just meandered on till it finished, which is a shame as I really did like it to start with. I haven't touched either of his Cap books properly but it's nice to see them so well regarded.
Nova #1
well that was fun. Same seems more obnoxious in this new issue than what I can recall from his original run. Not necessarily a bad thing though, and it did deliver the lulz when tried to talking to the new girl. The colorist and penciler put in some work this issue. I liked richards's panels and the last two panels were beautiful. I am excited about this book.
Moon Knight #9
hands down a defining moment for the Moon knight character. Lemire was able to handle it well. The way the art and color changed was amazing! The chapter felt short, but man did it get through the point. No more games, no more bs, it is time to end this.
One of the few books were Bellaire gets to truly shine as a colorist.

saving my ant-man read for next year.
Doesn't Jordie only colour 1/3 of it. Only the smallwood stuff. She definitely doesn't colour Francavilla.
I wasn't sure! if so then I retract my statement.
Lemire and Co have outdone themselves though. This arc was better than the last while still upping the crazy, and delivering a a great finish to the arc.
up their with Vision and deadly class when it comes to my favorite arc this year.

Weird face art aside, this is such a cool action shot.

BOO-SEE-EHK is what I've always said. His run was what got me into comics as a kid and i think it still holds up today. I love the first arc and have a soft spot for any Avengers book that spends a healthy amount of time selecting a roster, so I still get a kick out of those issues.
I actually kind of like the idea that character stuff for Cap, Iron Man and Thor was happening in their own books, so the Avengers should focus on the rest of the team. I think that did wonders for Scarlet Witch and Vision, and I loved Justice and Firestar on the team as the newbies, so I was a little bummed at the roster shakeup.
Ultron Unlimited is definitely the high point. I love the kind of silver age feel in modern trappings the book has and Perez is the GOAT, when I think of "The Avengers" I think of his designs and that team, it's a good send off to that era.
Jessica jones #3
From the opening panel to the very end hell even the summary for the next issue was just one big tease. Least we know kidnapped her.My suspicions were right though
Bendis might take forever to make stuff happen in his books but I am somehow enjoying all of his stuff right now.
Cage #2
since I just read Jones why not Cage.
Honestly I try not to use gifs nowadays but damn this issue blew my mind. My personal favorite for the week.
#3 coming this month.
The colors! The action! the facial expressions! the dialog! Omg. #1 was questionable due the stereotypes, but this issue takes that all out of play. Like damn.
It honestly felt like I was watching a cartoon. Fans of Samurai Jack need to read this asap. probably the most fun mini series you will read this year.

Rogue One: Better than TFA(which I thought was a 3/5). Music is unremarkable aside from Williams' themes. Vader is a BAMF and I think his HQ was
. A bit too much "Ah ha!" nostalgia.
on Mustafar going by them not naming the planet
I kinda want to see Rogue One in theaters even after not liking The Force Awakens much. I might just wait for the next main wars though...because i hate theaters. Rented Don't Breath, that's a movie.
