    So the new four horsemen:

    Grim Reaper
    Daken
    Banshee
    Sentry



    PS. I hate the Apocalypse Twins. En Saba Nur 4 life. I liked him more as a villian before I read about celestial/force of evolution upbringing/purpose.

      The whole story in Uncanny Avengers hurts my head. I believe it's the lead up to the whole big Thanos event later this summer so for a guy like me who isn't a huge fan of the galactic side of the MU this is going to be a rough period for me.

        Finally got caught up on my Justice League. I think this is my overall favorite book between all the Marvel, Image, and DC stuff I am reading.

          Saga is still my favorite but Batman '66 jumped up to 2nd. That's just all sorts of fantastic.

            I need to catch up on my DC comics from this week. Other events have kept me from reading em but the best DC book overall to me would have to be Batman.

            Best comic right now though? Uncanny and All-New X-Men because of the whole new dynamic that Bendis has put into the X-universe.

              I LOVED the court of the owls, but death of the family and the in between arc issues of Batman havent been my favorite.

              Justice League has that vast stable of characters that keeps it interesting.

                I hear you on that, I think the one thing that kinda killed Death of the Family is that it was essentially turned into an EVENT and thus the story became stretched out and then it was spread over other books. I'm hoping Year Zero will be more self contained and thus better.

                As for JLA I think the books have been good. I'm intrigued with how they're using Martian Manhunter and want to know more about his backstory/how he operates. I also really enjoyed the Shazam backup in one of the JLA books as well.

                  Okay I just finished reading JLA 22 and yep, I can see why someone would love that book. Geoff Johns has crafted a really great story here and the Shazam stuff that was the backmatter for a while actually paid off! This looks like it's going to be a really strong AND cohesive crossover storyline. I look forward to reading it.

                    Those Shazam stories have been great and tie into the Trinity War arc nicely. The MMH stories/origin in JLA have been fantastic too!

                      Batman '66 hitting it out the park again. Deadpool was also fantastic this week with a great dig at Iron Man 3.

                        Trinity War Part 1 & 2, very good, very intriguing, hopefully more shakes up in terms of death and devestation though.

                          Dunno if anyone has been reading the Wolverine Max series but it's pretty good. The new arc which just started has the feel of a 60s movie starring Peter Fonda or Dennis Hopper.

                          Really enjoyed the latest Deadpool issue and i'm liking how they use "lost stories" from the past as a means to introduce new villains into the ongoing story. That's pretty novel and a fun way to poke fun at Marvel history. The whole running joke with Iron Fist needing to charge up said fist was well executed.

                          All-New X-Men was a little messy art wise for me but it moves the story along a bit and the tease for next issue is INTRIGUING.

                          BTW for anyone that read the latest Cable & X-Force...

                          Spoiler
                          Other than that question it seems like the whole issue was based on Boom Boom's rather STUPID thinking.

                            I've been reading Wolvie MAX since issue #1. Was enjoying the book up until the run-in w/ the red headed British girl. Didn't really understand the point of that whole story and the art started to get a little messy in those issues, more like lazy.

                            I am about to drop it from my pull list. Have the most recent issue but haven't started reading it yet. Hopefully its as good as you say so that I can keep some Wolvie in my lineup of books.

                              It's a bit of a slow issue with nothing really interesting going on til the last couple pages. I did enjoy the issue because I got an Easy Rider vibe to it though.

                                Is the new digital Wolverine any good? Also is it really 79 pages or is it "79" pages meaning you're going to press the button to advance 79 times through about 20 pages? The $3 price initially put me off with Injustice and Batman '66 being $1 but if it's actually that long then it's alright.
