Good start, but looking for meatier backup stories ... 1
I just pawed through issue 1 of Avengers Classic, and while really good, I'm reserving judgement until issue #2.I'm a big fan of Classic X-Men, have that whole run, and the bar's set pretty high from that series.For those not familiar with the gimmick, the "Classic" iteration reprints original comics -- in this case, starting with Avengers #1. What hopefully sets this apart from just being another way for Marvel to milk the franchise, or a retread of the Marvel Masterworks or (a more expensive v...

Hulk finally, truly on the rampage? 0
(Spoilers)If you've been out of the loop, here's a quick summary. Turns out there's a group of the brightest in the Marvel U. acting secretly in concert, orchestrating events for years. They're called the Illuminati, and they include Iron Man, Reed Richards, Professor X, Black Bolt, Namor, and Dr. Strange. They, in their infinite wisdom, decided the Hulk was too dangerous, tricked him into a spaceship, and shot him into space. The Green Goliath crashes into a distant, waring world, quickly ascen...

Joss back on top ... 0
http://www.adamcreighton.com/blogs/reading/2007/05/astonishing-x-men-21.htmlOK, I like Joss Whedon. And the last several issues of Astonishing X-Men have been OK, but I've been OK with the impending end of his run on the book. Then I get ish #21. Now I'm not so OK with him being done. The depth and quality of the dialogue pulls full back (using a X-Jet, or perhaps X-Wing, metaphor), and the plot twists and possibilities run hot and heavy (and that language is intentional). Thick, solid issue, go...

Fairly disappointing so far ... 0
I'm a fan of old-school Alpha Flight. I really like Beta Ray Bill. I strongly dislike US Agent.Michael Avon Oeming and Scott Kolins were the tie breaker.That is, until I struggled through the first two issues of "Omega Flight", with the second being worse than the first.Nothing is happening in these two issues. It's a two-issue trip to get somewhere, which doesn't service the fans, and doesn't actually go anywhere.And I like Michael Avon Oeming and Scott Kolins -- in other stuff. This #2 issue i...

Punisher War Journal #7 0
I got into the Matt Fraction relaunch early on, and I'm glad I did. Turns out Frank Castle's got a thing for Captain America (not like that; perv), and he's not taking his assassination lightly. And when a new Hate Monger comes onto the scene in a costume that's a rip-off of Captain America, The Punisher takes him on, in a Punisher-meets-Cap costume version of his own.OK, that mixed costume is hokey to me (The Punisher wouldn't do that). But everything else works.Like Fraction doing a good job w...
