I didn't see a thread for this last week so I figured I'd start one (better late than never, eh?)
Invincible #31 - Let me preface this by saying that I'm an unapologetic Kirkmaniac - especially when it pertains to this book or The Walking Dead. After the big space epic, everything about this book was perfect to me. It's great that Mark is back on Earth and interacting with most of his supporting cast. I'm excited about all of the sub-plots going forward. The writing was great, the art from Ottley and Rathburn was beautiful and Bill Crabtree knocks it out of the park with the coloring (especially the Africa scenes). I say this every time, but the next issue can't come soon enough.
The Thing #6 - I fear that I won't see 12 issues of this book. Slott wraps up the Yancy Street storyline and has a good time needling Spidey about the Iron Spidey suit. I already miss DiVito's art (it was a big draw for me) but Kieron Dwyer is a decent replacement.
Captain America 65th Anniversary Special - If it involoves Brubaker writing Cap, then I'm going ot buy it. A very fast, set in WWII read. I'm looking forward to revisiting this storyline line in the main book in the future.
Catwoman #54 - Here is the best part about not having deep-seated affinity for characters before OYL - the change is good and I don't have much ground to stand on when arguing that the book was better before OYL. My favorite of the jump books so far.
Ex Machina Special #1 - It's been a while since I've read a book that contained Chris Sprouse art. Solid stuff and it's nice to see a straight forward Great Machine superhero story for once.
The Amazing Spider-man #531 - I'm really ready for Civil War and the return of Ron Garney!
Astonishing X-Men #14 - So far, this arc is not hitting me like the first two did. Maybe it's the bi-monthly schedule, maybe it's the lack of action. Whatever it is, I think that I may self-trade this book now.
Birds of Prey #93 - Damn you Gail Simone! (raises fist to the air angrily!) Once again, she has taken a character that I never really cared for (Lady Shiva), added her to the team and created an exciting storyline for me to read. Still not too thrilled about the new art team though...kind of boring to me.
Savage Dragon #125 - The lettering is getting better. I loved The Fly story. I have the ashcan of The Wish that I bought at Wonder-con 2005 and it was cool to see it colored in this book. This was my favorite issue of Savage Dragon released this year.
