Dean’s Top Picks

Best of the Past Week: Wolverine and the X-Men #2 – Even though it was a light week volume wise, there was a LOT of quality last week (Secret Avengers and Cap & Bucky were also excellent), but my favorite was Wolverine and the X-Men #2.  It just has such a different tone than what we’ve typically gotten from X-Men comics because it incorporates Jason Aaron’s black sense of humor.  And of course, any comic with Chris Bachalo drawing is almost automatically going to be in the running for “pick of the week”.  I know there are some folks who complain about Bachalo, but they’re wrong.  Dude is among the best in the business.  Keep reading this site and we’ll train you properly in art appreciation.  🙂  Runner-up: The Unwritten #31.5 (found inside: some answers!)

Most Anticipated This Week: Daredevil #6 – Yeesh, another light week for me.  There are a few other comics that I’m looking forward to (see below), but Daredevil has been sooooo good since its reboot that it has to be the pick here.  Mark Waid has been telling a fun and accessible story and the art from Marcos Martin is sure to be incredible.

Other picks: Spaceman #2, Bomb Queen VII #1, Thunderbolts #166, Uncanny X-Men #2, Haunt #19
