  • ASTONISHING X-MEN #27 – Manifest Destiny
  • GHOST RIDER #28
  • GUARDIANS OF GALAXY – Secret Invasion, and the subject of another of this week’s reviews.
  • IRON MAN DIRECTOR OF SHIELD #34 – Secret Invasion. Will be reviewed next month, as a set of issues 33-35.
  • MIGHTY AVENGERS #19 – Secret Invasion. Will get reviewed when issue 20 comes out, which is also Bendis’ last issue before Slott takes over and Bendis moves on to “Dark Avengers.” Slott has revealed that the roster is made up of Avengers who are definitely Avengers, including Jocasta. In Friday’s edition of “Cup of Joe,” Joe Quesada revealed this image, filled with people who can call themselves Avengers, including Jocasta. I’m thinking this is a combination of the pencil work for the covers of “Mighty Avengers #21-23.”

  • ULTIMATE ORIGINS #5 (OF 5)

  1. Astonishing Dialogue
    A great piece of dialogue from "Astonishing X-Men #27" that I’m posting here in the likely event that I don’t have time to review the story arc properly.

    After Cyclops unintentionally swears at Abigail Brand:
    Brand: Did you just say "****ing" to me?
    Beast: Scott, you just said "****ing" to my… um. … Actually, what are you? "Girlfriend" doesn’t sound quite…
    Brand: "Xenophiliac Experimentation Partner"?
    Beast: Scott, you just said "****ing" to my girlfriend.
    Cyclops: I wouldn’t say anything like that.
    Wolverine: Cyke, I heard you from down the hall. Don’t do it again, okay? It’s like catching a rerun of "Happy Days" and seeing Ron Howard pick up hookers.
