5 - darkwing duck #13
6 - godzilla: gangsters and goliaths #1
7 - batman #711

six good books last week, but nothing great. uncanny slightly edges out the competition. batman wasn't so good. oh well.

exciting stuff today as some of my favorite titles release new issues. on top of that there's a fierce battle for the cover of the week with 4 great looking books...

batman: gates of gotham #2 - COVER OF THE WEEK!

carnage #5 - COTW runner-up #1

wolverine #11 - COTW runner-up #2

the mighty thor #3 - COTW runner-up #3

deadpool #39

flashpoint: lois lane and the resistance #1

flashpoint: reverse flash

6/8 comics from best to worst...

1 - fear itself: spider-man #2
2 - the iron age: alpha
3 - flashpoint: emperor aquaman #1
4 - fear itself: deadpool #1
5 - starborn #7
6 - wolverine #10
7 - deadpool #38
8 - space warped #1
9 - batman and robin #24

the fear itself spinoff titles continue to better the main event, especially spider-man. iron age looks like it's gonna be a fun little mini series. i guess all the books were pretty decent last week except for the art in batman and robin. it was yucky.

a little bit of a smaller stack this week...

uncanny x-men #538 - COVER OF THE WEEK - i've really liked all of the covers from the current uncanny story arc. i especially enjoy the cast of x-men they chose to feature on this one. and kruun's shadow at the bottom is a very nice touch.

x-men: prelude to schism #3 - this has been a pretty good little mini but i'm ready for schism to actually start. i guess these books have been doing their job on building up the upcoming x-event.

x-men #13 - this is a pretty good cover featuring the master of magnetism. the interior art is even better. really enjoying this title right now.

flashpoint: wonder woman and the furies #1 - the DC flashpoint world continues to impress me, and i'm not even a DC fan.

batman #711

darkwing duck #13 (cover A) - this was a pretty entertaining one-shot. it's the first time they've introduced a new villain that wasn't featured in the TV series.

godzilla: gangsters and goliaths #1 (cover A)

comic book stash #38

rankings from last week's issues...

1 - uncanny x-force #11
2 - flashpoint #2
3 - flashpoint: batman - knight of vengeance #1
4 - x-men #12
5 - halcyon #5
6 - fear itself #3
7 - amazing spider-man #663
8 - haunt #16
9 - moon knight #2

after one down issue, x-force returns to greatness. so darn good. the two flashpoint books were excellent. x-men was great. everything else was pretty good as well. not really any let downs last week.

a nice variety of new books this week...

fear itself: spider-man #2 - cover of the week. none of the covers really stood out to me this week, but i still thought this one was pretty good. i'd probably like it even more if it didn't have that huge title banner on top.

fear itself: deadpool #1

deadpool #38 - probably my cover of the week runner-up. a fun, original idea. i like it. HULK SMASH!

hulk-sized mini-hulks - a collection of one-page shorts about the mischievous mini-hulks. i don't know why i enjoy kiddie stuff like this, but i do. a fun read for sure. MINI-HULK SMASH!

wolverine #10 - normally a jae lee cover would be a lock for cover of the week, but there was just something about this one that didn't sit right i guess. i mean don't get me wrong it's still pretty awesome but wolverine just looks a little funny to me. a little too stocky. it's as if george costanza is in that costume not logan. plus is it just me or is he floating on those rocks? the ninjas look great though.

iron age: alpha - i'm a sucker for any story involving dark phoenix

flashpoint: emperor aquaman #1

batman and robin #24

space warped #1 - a fun, medieval, parody of the star wars story. wasn't sure how good this would be, but i ended up really enjoying it.

starborn #7
