This Week in Comics

Captain America 28
Another good story line. Had to go to wikipedia to figure out what exactly is the story behind all of this and I quote, "the Red Skull was assassinated by the Winter Soldier under the orders of Aleksander Lukin, and one of the Skull's henchmen, Crossbones, broke into the facility and kidnapped Synthia (Skull's daughter). Crossbones tortured Synthia to break S.H.I.E.L.D's conditioning. After he succeeded, she entered into a relationship with him, and - with Synthia now calling herself simply Sin - the two went on a killing spree. They later reunited with the Skull, now living inside the mind of General Lukin (However, before he died, the Skull used the Cube to transfer his mind into Lukin's body, leaving the two men stuck together "like rats in a cage." Well there you have!






Ultimate Spider-Man 111

Filler issue...although we do get a sneak peak of Stuart Immonen's pencils starting in issue 112.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 5

Must be filler issue month. Joss does a one shot. Not really my thing...enjoy continuity. Vaughan starts his mini next month.









New X-men 40
I want to love this book...but the characters are too diverse and the art makes it difficult to determine who is who. Have to hand it to Claremont...he was lengthy but he always tried to write a book as if this was someone's first. A fine line for most comic book writers but they need to remember that every issue could be someone's first so ensure you give a little background so we don't get lost. Anyway love the characters but there are so many it is difficult to figure it all out. And this is my 4th issue...aghhhh
