X-Infernus 1 (Marvel) - by Cebulski, Camuncoli, Delperdang, Gracia, Finch, Miki, Keith. Awesome! I loved it! It was great seeing C.B. and Camuncoli/Delperdang on this. The art and dialogue was perfect. Looking forward to the next issues.

Criminal, vol.2, #7 (Marvel/Icon) - by Brubaker, Phillips, Staples. Though this is not my fave comic, I do admit to how good the series is. It's a lot for one issue. The story feels like how they used to do comics, but 1000% better. I had no idea what the characters or story was all about, but it was easy enough to follow. For anyone liking crime comics, this must be their nirvana.

Ender's Shadow 1, variant cover (Marvel) - Carey, Fiumara, Brusco, Green II. I'm guessing this is supposed to be some book that I'm unaware of? In any case, the world this takes place in is fascinating and original. A tad querky, but the writing is really good in this issue.

Marvels: Eye of the Camera (Marvel) - by Busiek, Anacleto, Haberlin. I don't know. They got Jay back for this? I mean, sure, the original idea was very cool, but this...

I Hate Gallant Girl #2 (Image) - by Valentino, Cahill, Damoose, Tripp. Another good book by the new team. Though nothing surprising, it's still a fun read.

Sandman: The Dream Hunters #2 (Vertigo/DC) - by Gaiman, Russell, Shimizu, Mignola. This was really, really good. I'm confused about that whole back letter thing where this is a book that was written years ago, but wasn't..blah, blah, blah...there was no need for it. Just a well exectued issue.

Sgt. Rock: The Lost Battalion #2 (DC) - by Tucci, Hi-Fi Design. This issue is okay, if it were a war movie. But as is, there is nothing endearing about it. The art is wonderful but making this fun..something is missing.

Terror Titans #3 (DC) - by McKeever, Bennett, Jadson, Reis. If this were a Marvel title, it might be a Max title. I like the bloody freedom that it seems like the creators are exercising here. But some instances are a little silly. Though fun, I find nothing really worthwhile in this issue.

Terra #3 (DC) - by Gray, Palmiotti, Conner, Mounts. Though I like the art, this story is wearing on me. I'm not sure if I don't really care about the character or it's just the story I find boring, but anything Amanda is on, should be highlighting her art and strengths, not what is executed here.

The Punisher X-Mas, variant cover (Marvel/Max) - by Aaron, Broschi, Brown. A decent book, but it felt too disjointed to be a more complete story. Too much narrative for the Punisher.

Moon Knight: Silent Knight 1 (Marvel) - by Milligan, Campbell, Loughridge, Crain. Art was great and I loved the effect of the snow. But there was something about this book. Kinda felt like it could be a Punisher book. It was another nice example of how crazy he is, but it got disjointed when mixing the two stories. The purpose of this issue? Who knows.

Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine #145 (Kenzer and Company) - by Blackburn and co. Another good book by the team but I think sadly, rpg'ing is dying, a lost art.
