Any week that has Uncanny X-Force in it is a winner. But I'm also excited about Silver Surfer #4. I'm surprised by how good that mini has been. As much as I want Greg Pak to stay on Hulk, I'm okay with him branching out if this is what he can deliver.

X-23 and Generation Jean Ripoff are also on my list. So are Avengers and Alpha Flight. I want to give Astonishing X-men a chance, but I really haven't been able to get excited about that book for a long time. It just seems like it doesn't serve as great a purpose now that there are so many other quality books that use the same characters. I think once the Schism event is over, Astonishing needs to be overhauled or it should be set aside for a while.

Nice week!

Alpha Flight
Astonishing - only picking up b/c the cast is different
Avengers
H4H
Surfer
X-Force
X-Factor
X-Men Giant Sized
Prelude to Schism
x-23 - with Takeda's art!!!

Generation Hope just seems so lame, I just can't stand it.

In X-Force, I love the idea that 1) they'd be hanging out in Cavern-X instead of Utopia and 2) that Wolverine has time to read a book. If he's not with them, he should be on Utopia, on a mission with the Avengers, or seeking revenge on Mystique
