You know what to do, right? Please let us know what your favorite comic of the week was and why down in the comments.
There were actually a surprising amount of good books that came out on Wednesday. X-Factor #200, Underground #4, Brave and the Bold #30, and Daredevil #503 (just to name a few) were all solid reads. One book that surprised me was Forgetless #1 from Image. Interesting story and good art made it very enjoyable. I will definitely have to keep up with this series. BUT as great as all of those books were I am going to have to go with Green Lantern Corps #43 because it was kinda epic.

Best of Marvel – MIGHTY AVENGERS #32
Best of DC – JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #40
Other – IDW’s Ghostbusters #4
I see Pham is back on the art of Mighty Avengers. *vomits*
J.
His artwork has improved.
No it hasn’t! The only good art I’ve seen from him is the first arc of Inc Herc. His X-factor issues before that and his spotty shitty issues of MA have been turds. This guy has averaged bi-monthly issues on MA and they still look like shit.
I can’t believe I am going to say this but I agree completely with djsweet.
J.
I’ll nicely agree to disagree with you, Jose.
Hey, I just found that i was kicked off your youtube channel. I was wondering why you hadn’t put out a comic review in so long. I’m djbullock4 on youtube.
Really? I never kicked you off and I’m usually the person who does it. I’ll look into that right now and see what’s up and if I can fix it.
J.
Cool, I just was allowed to subscribe again. And to think, If i hadn’t been real curious I would have missed the Bendis triple shot!
If I wanted YOUR opinion mrdj, I’d ask for it.
Yeah Green lantern corp was briliant, a half red and green lantern that was briliant.
Daredevil was good, but yeah I have to go with Johnny Horror Mighty Avengers was the best of Marvel.
DAREDEVIL #503 & BLACK PANTHER #11 round out my top three.
Wow. Two picks for Mighty Avengers already? I guess I’ll have to check it out at work tomorrow.

I just found the relationship between Pym and Osborn, battle of egos kind of
Brave and Bold gets my vote this week.
great story and art, left me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside!!
thanks to the CCW for turning me on to this book
You’re welcome Curtis.

I agree. That was a really good comic Generaldark.

My best of the week is a book I didn’t even plan on buying.
Justice League of America #40
I was a little bored tonight so I wrote a review of it just for fun. I would mail it to Jose, but I think his head would explode if he had to edit more than two of my reviews in a week =)

My best of the week is Power Girl #7. The w/a trio still delivers in my opinon.
Matthew
surprisingly:
cable #21
any cable fans in the house? no? just me?
honorable mentions:
mighty avengers 32(i recently started reading this book again, glad bendis isnt stinking it up)
nomad – girl without a world 4 (looking forward to this as the captain america backup)
Favorite from DC is by far GLC #43
Favorite from Marvel was Thunderbolts #139 featuring Agents of Atlas
I have to say that I liked Justice League of America, but can anyone tell me what Gypsy’s powers are? :S cos I just didn’t know what she could do through that book except turn invisible.
Gypsy can create illusions aside from turning invisible.
She has the power to glow bright yellow when confronted by Black Lantern Steel =)
Underground #4
GLC#43 was my fav closely followed by Power Girl#7. I didn’t buy a single Marvel book this week. I am quite proud of myself.
Number 1 was a HARD pick to make. I had to pick X-Factor #200, it was just awesome from start to finish, and one of the best single issues of the year along with Daredevil #500. Fables #91 got beat by the smallest of margins.
Here is the overall Top 5 (of what I read so far, I still need to pickup a few books) and their star rankings.
1) X-Factor #200: ****3/4 Stars out of *****
2) Fables #91: ****3/4 Stars (What a Satisfying conclusion to Witches and quite a few storylines)
3) Green Lantern Corps #43 ****1/2 Stars (The Star of Blackest Night continues to Roll On)
4) Black Panther #11 ****1/2 Stars (Black Panther is the most improved book of the year. Mayberry may put himself in position to win an Eisner in 2011)
5) Daredevil #503 ****1/4 Stars
Honorable Mentions goes to Power Girl #7 (Which made me laugh out loud in the Subway), and Thunderbolts #139. They may not have been books #6 and 7, but both stood out on a very good week with some excellent character moments, and the promise of a next Issue that may content for Book of the Month.
ummm, amazing spider-man #549
i bought it this week-ish.
good book this week? Try good book this year…. fu#%ing tv writers piss me.
Marvel is like this now… good plots…. Cr@p Exposition. Every comic runs like a tv series rather than linked singular stories.
