This Week in Comics

New Avengers 37
Boring, big yawn...who really cares to read about martial issues in a freakin comic book. Where is the action....this is the Avengers for god's sake, not some freaking soap opera. Come on Bendis, get it together. I don't read the Avengers for heart wrenching drama...this is supposed to be about big throw downs. Yeah you've been building up this stupid skrull thing for like 2 years. At this rate the story will be the biggest let down of all time. Ughhhh, you build a team of bad asses and what to they do...sit around like some bad MTV sit come and bitch....




Fantastic Four 554
Looking forward to a big lead off hit and all we got was a dribbler to short. I realize it is tough to steer a ship that as been around since 1961 but really there was just nothing there. Maybe it will grow into something but it just seems tiring. Shake things up...define your book. That was what was so great with Morrison's run on the X-men. He came in and just reset the mood, the feeling. It made you want to come back just to see what crazy direction he would take. Granted it didn't all work but the body of work certainly freshened the team. Take some chances...stop being so respectful of Stan's characters!
