This Week in Comics Part I

The New Avengers 115
Okay so Bendis finally got around to explaining the whole "carnage/venom" happening and it seemed to me that it was just a potential plotline that might have been interesting but ultimately didn't get Bendis' attention and so it was cast off. Which kind of made things a bit lame. Also I am tired of Yu drawing this book...it looks half done, half scribbled. His women are awful. It does not complement Bendis' style at all. Oh and the Mighty Avengers just let the criminal Avengers go? Ughhh be consistent. Have to admit there was one good line between Luke and Jessica "Logan's having words with her.," "Really?," "Oh, Really.," "Words or Claws?"



Buffy The Vampire Slayer 8
Kind of a filler issue for Vaughan...not quite the bang of his first two issues. All the same a good plot continuation. Somewhat surprised the Buffy confrontation occurred so early...thought it might be drawn out. Also this is Vaughan's next to last issue so it looks like his 4 run series was a "Faith" aside. Good character developments. Will miss Brian's writing.







Ultimate Spider-Man 115

Bendis, bendis, everywhere. Okay can someone please change Kitty's uniform? Ughhh what the heck is she wearing and how in the heck can she see? Also the outfit reminded me of another character's spandex...I thought it was Darkhawk but no it was the cover to X-factor 35. The Orphan Maker...yikes that goes way back. And then is she trying to bring back the ghost of Psylocke with that sash? Kitty doesn't have a costume! There is a reason for that! Anyway good issue, good Parker cracks and great full page spread about midway throught the issue of Spidey doing his thing. Good ending too, one I think every comic book issue should have. Fantastic cliffhanger wanting more!
