At least the scene in question was pretty respectful, with the character going out as a hero while demonstrating more power than we've ever seen from him before.

That could be almost any of his books! Be more specific ;)

Some of the books were stealthily continuing the stories from the regular titles.

Sorry to go slightly off-topic, but is Lemire/Sorrentino's Green Arrow worth owning? Just wondering because there's a fancy new hardcover that contains the whole run, but I couldn't decide if it's a must-purchase or a wait-for-the-library book.

I'm actually really enjoying it more than any of the other x-books so far, in spite of the Greg Land art. It's obviously supposed to be the X-Force title of the line and reminds me of Remender's run in a positive way so far. At least as far as writing goes — good God, I don't need to mention the art again.

That reminds me! I also read Quantum & Woody Must Die by James Asmus and Steve Lieber, which was my favorite volume of the entire series so far. They took in a winning formula and made it even more hilarious by throwing in the artist of Superior Foes. A+++ decision making there, Valiant.

I read a few books this week. I got a double dose of Nick Spencer with Morning Glories Vol. 9 and Ant-Man Vol. 1. It was fun to contrast the two. I've noticed that Spencer's recent Marvel work is pretty meaty on an issue-by-issue basis. Both Ant-Man and Sam Wilson take longer to read than most Book Two titles these…

It was also where the initial leaked test footage took place. We've been staring at that bridge for a really long time.

I really wanted to get into this book based on its premise, but I just couldn't get over the art and its 90s-meets-Saturday AM cartoon vibe. The upcoming Phil Noto guest art will undoubtedly be a huge improvement.

Plus Michael Biehn!

Sadly, the DS version is the first and only version of the game I've played. It's a pretty forgettable entry for me as a result, which is unusual for a 30+ hour game. The weakest parts came from the shrill voice acting and generic cut scenes - which this article correctly states as a weakness from modern JRPG design.

I loved it too. I'm really disappointed that the writer of this article decided to spoil it in the very last paragraph. I wanted to send out this article to a bunch of my friends because I'm a big fan of Hawke's. I was a little skeptical when I started reading the first mention of it, but figured it was vague enough…

Al Ewing initially wrote some tie-in issues for Age of Ultron that managed to be miles ahead of the actual event in terms of quality. They're honestly the best things I've read from him, but I had never heard of him before that so it was a complete surprise. His work on Mighty Avengers contained a lot of characters…

Humphries and Fialkov are the bottom of that list for me. Just nothing special whatsoever.

How's it compare to their last collaboration, Scalped? I loved that series so much, but I'm not really into Biblical stories so I have some reservations about reading this one.

It's really fun seeing the different characters pop up as supporting players in surprising places, such as Peter Quill being introduced out of nowhere as Richard Rider's second in command. There's a real level of unpredictability that I enjoy about it.

The music in the movie fit that description pretty well too. Thank God they weren't supposed to be some earth shattering band. Instead their songs came off as surprisingly listenable, which is about perfect for the local band they're supposed to be.

I think a smaller part of the problem is that comic book creators aren't the best songwriters. Being good in one medium tells you nothing about their talent in another one.

The only book to do it right IMO is Scott Pilgrim, which provided you with chords/tabs so you could play along with the songs. I don't think you were realistically expected to use them, but it was a fun and cute touch.

The artwork on Future Quest looks soooooo good. I was legitimately surprised to see such a promising looking title in a new line that honestly looks like a complete mess. Like with all Darwyn Cooke books though, I'll probably hold off until the eventual oversized hardcover collection.
