    Brubaker's Winter Soldier is quite good, at times it has a bit of a spy movie feel to it in atmosphere and tone. You guys should like it.

      That Spider-Man story only covers one day so wasn't as intresting as hoped. Still fun but didn't much like the ending.

      Found out today they're ending I Vampire. It's arguably been the best since the re-launch. For a while it was the best but Batman caught up. Any suggestions for a replacement?

        I am liking Team 7 a lot, personally I take a liking to the heroes who are human w/ no special powers i.e. Batman, Team 7.

        Love the artwork in Team 7 and the dialouge has been great.

          Speaking of cancellations I'm surprised Green Arrow has survived as long as it has though I think maybe it's because of the TV show. That book has ZERO direction though it looks like it now has a firm direction with the new writer coming in (I forget who exactly) Ann Nocenti completely screwed that book over and her stench is all over Catwoman right now (though from a sexism POV it sure as hell beats out the launch of that title)

              I can't read the text but I can definitely tell what's going on. That's gonna be fun to read.

                All-New X-Men and the illumanati Avengers book were both fantastic this week (the latter kinda surprising, but I'm a sucker for infinity gem-based stories). Still need to get around to reading SSM, Thunderbolts and a couple others. Marvel feels better than ever.

                Looked at the promo card/checklost for Ultron... looks disappointing and limited, kinda like the X-Men crossover.

                Age of Ultron:

                MARCH 2013
                Age of Ultron #1
                Age of Ultron #2
                Fantastic Four #5
                Age of Ultron #3
                Superior Spider-Man #6

                APRIL 2013
                Age of Ultron #4
                Ultron #1
                Avengers Assemble #14
                Age of Ultron #5
                Age of Ultron #6
                Wolverine & the X-Men #27

                MAY 2013
                Age of Ultron #7
                Avengers Assemble #15
                Age of Ultron #8
                Uncanny Avengers #8
                Fearless Defenders #4

                JUNE 2013
                Age of Ultron #9
                Age of Ultron #10
                Age of Ultron Epilogue

                This news just made my day though, Marvel's big crossover for the summer kicking off on free comic day:

                  Re: Comic Book Fans....

                  Thanks for the AOU checklist

                  Not gonna go into a long litany here but I just want to say I really enjoyed All-New X-Men and the Illuminati Avengers A LOT.

                  I think i'm gonna stop reading Iron Man as it seems it's going off into the galactic side of the Marvel U. I'm also starting to become wary of the main Avengers book with all the cosmic mumbo jumbo but at least Hickman is keeping it (relatively) simple.

                  Oh and finally, on a cosmetic note THANK GOD they've made ghost Peter's dialogue/though boxes legible. I was seriously straining my eyes the last couple issues.

                        X-treme X-Men and Age of Apocalypse were cancelled in January I guess, they will end with the conclusion of the X-Termination event.

                        Checklist of books I probably won't buy, but probably read/skim at best:

                        March

                        PROLOGUE: Age of Apocalypse # 13
                        PROLOGUE: X-Treme X-Men # 12
                        Part One: X-termination # 1
                        Part Two: Astonishing X-Men # 60

                        April

                        Part Three: Age of Apocalypse # 14
                        Part Four: X-Treme X-Men # 13
                        Part Five: Astonishing X-Men # 61
                        Part Six: X-termination # 2

                          I think Marvel is saturated w/ too many xmen books.

                            When has Marvel NOT been oversaturated with X-titles since the early '80s?

                              Honestly since the 80s the Xmen has truly become its own sub universe in the 616 so its not really a surprise. So many mutants and enemies its crazy. As long as the writing is good overall I don't kind it personally.

                                I picked up the tpb for Thief of Thieves yesterday, collects issues 1-7. I will let you guys know how I like it.
