Marvel Comics

  • AGENTS OF ATLAS TP – This miniseries had enough sales and positive reviews to turn into an ongoing with Dark Reign. I haven’t read it myself, but I’ll review the first story arc of the new ongoing with the other Dark Reign reviews.
  • AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #582
  • DAREDEVIL BY FRANK MILLER TP VOL 03 – I recently reread Daredevil. This was a great run.
  • FANTASTIC FOUR WORLDS GREATEST PREM HC – The first Millar and Hitch story arc. It’s not bad, but it just doesn’t feel like the FF.
  • INFINITY CRUSADE TP VOL 02
  • INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #9 – Dark Reign
  • MARVEL ZOMBIES 3 #4 (OF 4)
  • OFFICIAL INDEX TO MARVEL UNIVERSE #1
  • PUNISHER #1 – Dark Reign
  • SECRET INVASION TP
  • SECRET INVASION WAR OF KINGS ONE SHOT – We’ve seen some preliminary War of Kings materials, but this is the first to really let us know what’s going to be coming in that crossover.
  • SPIDER-MAN FEAR ITSELF #1
  • ULTIMATE ORIGINS PREM HC – This wasn’t thrilling either. There’s one major revelation that explains why super powered individuals are such a recent phenomenon, but I’m sure you can pick that up on Wikipedia if you want.
  • WOLVERINE SWITCHBACK
  • X-MEN MANIFEST DESTINY #5 (OF 5)
  • X-MEN NOIR #2 (OF 4) – Both Noir titles are off to great starts. Issue 1 is also reprinted today. If you like noir at all, pick this up.
