This Week in Comics

Ultimate Spider-Man 117
Good conclusion to a good story although I thought the ending was a bit abrupt. Six issues and it all came down to a big fight, a death, and then a glossy three page hero definition. It appears that we will have a lighter fare with some good old fashion Spider-Man and his friends. Interesting to see if Bendis can pull off a cheesy TV show and make it fun.







X-men 206
Chapter 9 in the series starts to make some sense of where all this is going (or maybe not?). I thought Bishop was always an interesting underdeveloped character especially when comparing "Days of Future Past" (I suppose the definite future X-men). Since he was from a different version it will be interesting to see where they take his character. So obviously something triggers his future and Cable must have a vision of a different. An interesting development...where will it all end?

Captain America 33
I thought there might be more of a surprise of who was going to take the shield. No big royale battle with Iron Man...hmmmm kind of disappointing. Perhaps this will be revisited.
