DS’ Top Picks
Best From The Past Week: Batman: The Return Of Bruce Wayne #3 – While the Return of Bruce Wayne was briefly in contention, there’s no doubt that X-Men Legacy #237 was on another level. The sheer number of brilliant, stick-in-your-mind moments was off the scale. I mean, the master mold of the future (2 of them!), Magneto’s injured stand, Cable’s desperate rearguard action, Cypher shooting for all the marbles…breathtaking. Second Coming is the game to beat.
Most Anticipated: Green Lantern #55: Brightest Day is marching on, and the mystery of the white lantern is still to be resolved. I’m gambling that despite Lobo (whom I can’t stand as a character), Johns is going to deliver a solid issue.
Other Top Picks: Astonishing X-Men #34, Captain America #607
Alex’s Top Picks
Best From The Past Week: Legion of Super-Heroes #2 -Another amazingly stuffed issue for the Legion and another fantastic experience. This is definitely a series to hop on-board for, whether you’re a Legion aficionado or novice.
Most Anticipated: Green Lantern #55 – Lobo?! Hell yeah!
Other Picks: Secret Avengers #2, Captain America #607, The Flash #3, Madame Xanadu #24, Thor #611, Unknown Soldier #21, Wonder Woman #600
Dean’s Top Picks
Best From The Past Week: Amazing Spider-Man #635 – This was a really awesome issue. In hindsight, I think we’ll probably find out that it was Kaine in the Spidey-suit, but a comic still doesn’t often hit you in the face the way this one did on the first reading (especially not in this age of advance solicitations, previews and online teasers). If you ever needed a reason to NEVER click on an 7-page advance preview, this was it.
Most Anticipated: Invincible Iron Man Annual #1 – Besides all the hoopla surrounding this issue because it’ll be released digitally via the Marvel app, I’m just hoping for a good Iron Man story. Invincible Iron Man has been dull recently and Iron Man Legacy just stinks. Hopefully this story about the Mandarin will save the day.
