Dean’s Top Picks
Best From The Past Week: Amazing Spider-Man #655 – A few people were pointing out how this story of loss and Peter resolving to do a better job has “been done before”, but I don’t think it has ever been done as well. Slott and Martin do a masterful job telling a silent story of loss that combines with a fever dream sequence that cuts to the core of who Peter Parker is. Runners-up: Fantastic Four #588 & Morning Glories #7.
Most Anticipated: Incognito: Bad Influences #4 – By the end of issue #3, the Brubaker/Phillips/Staples team had all of their game pieces out of the box, so I fully expect this issue to begin accelerating towards what should be a great conclusion to this series.
Other Picks: Sweet Tooth #19, Carbon Grey #1, Intrepids #1, Annihilators #1, Thunderbolts #154
Alex’s Top Picks
Best From The Past Week: Amazing Spider-Man #655 – This was a hugely difficult week to pick from, as there was just so, so much to like…even if I seem to be the only person high on Iron Man 2.0 right now. But there was so much goodness, between Action and Detective Comics and Fantastic Four among others. Ultimately though, I’ve got to give it to ASM, with its mix of a silent, mourning component and a surreal dream sequence. If anything, Marcos Martin tips the scales with his awesome artwork.
Most Anticipated: Secret Six #31 – This is the story I’ve been waiting for ever since the Six’s brilliant first story-arc. Better still, it’s a three-parter, which means things’ll be compact and not at all dragged out. I can’t wait to see where this goes. As a side note, I’m also pretty happy that we get a thinner weak after the insanity of last week.
Other Picks: Powers #7, Sweet Tooth #19, Secret Warriors #25, Brightest Day #21, Green Lantern #63
