This Week in Comics

Secret Invasion #5
This actually came out the previous week but I was traveling and therefore I will talk about now! Looks like we crossed the hump so to speak. Earth and her heroes have been been beat up enough...now it is time for as the Thing would say, "Clobberin' Time" Reed is back in business and Tony ain't a skrull. Three issues to go...who is going to kick it and who is going to come out swinging. Can you taste the Spider Woman / Iron Man brouhaha?




Uncanny X-men #501

Good now that the "event" is over we can move on and start telling good stories again. Not for sure but I think this fits the mode of "this isn't your Father's X-men anymore".  Between the Emma and Scott sexual exploration and the fact that it would appear Scott wants to add to the mutant population I just have a hard time accepting this (of course it could be just Land art work).  In the end the show stopper was the Red Queen...hmmm could it be Madeleine is back?





Captain America #41
Brubaker continues to put a great story together.  Love the end "I'm Captain America"
