Marvel Comics

  • AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #560
  • AVENGERS INITIATIVE #13
  • BLACK PANTHER #36
  • CAPTAIN AMERICA #38 – This is always a great read.
  • CAPTAIN MARVEL MS MARVEL SI INFILTRATION – Reprints some of the infiltration issues for these titles.
  • FANTASTIC FOUR #557 – Wraps up the first Millar/Hitch arc on the title. I’m a big Reed Richards fan, but even this feels like it’s pushing things for me. They need a dynamite issue here to pull it all together.
  • GHOST RIDER #23 – Long time fans see the return of a major character here.
  • HULK VISIONARIES JOHN BYRNE TP VOL 01 – I’m not sure there will be a volume 2. Byrne had a very short run before he headed over to DC to reboot Superman.
  • INCREDIBLE HERCULES #117 – Secret Invasion tie-in: expect a prompt review.
  • IRON MAN DIRECTOR OF SHIELD #29
  • MIGHTY AVENGERS #14 – Also a Secret Invasion tie-in, with a higher review priority than Hercules. This will probably be the first title (out of 14) I read when I get home, and I’ll review it immediately.
  • SPIDER-MAN PREM HC VOL 01 BRAND NEW DAY – These first few issues of “Brand New Day” are much more enjoyable than the story that led to them.
  • ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #54
  • ULTIMATE X-MEN #94
  • X-FACTOR #31 – Divided We Stand tie-in
  • X-MEN DIVIDED WE STAND #2 (OF 2)
