Some very interesting points raised here, if you look closely enough. Jason Todd is an amazing character if he's lucky enough to get a good enough writer like Grant Morrison. "Blackest Knight" comes next, wonder what that will involve?!? We have to wait two months for it, for some top secret reason aprarently.
Tony Daniel's work here is amazing. The story is picking up momentum and it feels like it is leading to something brilliant. This is some of the best stuff DC has put out under the Bat Cowl, hope this is doing to be a long run for the artist/writer.
More good stuff from Greg Pak leading to Fall of the Hulks. Ariel Olivetti is a good artist but its a shame they keep shifting artists mid-story especially with contrasting styles. The Savage She Hulk backup story is tedious and I will be glad when that ends.
Skaar and Bruce Banner vs Daken and Wolverine! Great stuff here.
great story of origins
don't know how to delete : \
I was wondering the same thing. Is there a scheduled date for 3 & 4?
Love Hack/Slash!! This mini suffered artwise I think but nevertheless I was glad with this one!
Wasn't as good as the others!!!
The best comic out of the entire "List" series!!!
The story has promise, but the art work could be better!!!
For the millionth time Sentry dies, good comic though ^_^
Shes not actually dead, she comes back to kill loads of mob guys. I thought it was a bit of a cop-out
Really great Backstory. Gives better understanding of the characters and all of the Grimm Fairy Tales: Wonderland series.
Bringing back the Kill Krew in the pages of the Initiative was brilliant. This bloated, bizarre miniseries, however, was completely unnecessary.
Having the original Torch return to the Marvel universe is just awesome. With Bucky and Toro back as well, how long before they start publishing a new series of the Invaders? :)
This is really getting good. :)
The only flaw in this issue was Clint's remark to Hank. I do love how Pietro tried to redeem himself, but in the end he failed in the worst way. Overall, there were good character moments for several of the heroes in this story.
I still can't believe that I passed on this title for so long. BMB is writing some of the best Avengers stuff ever. The development of Victoria Hand were well done. Molecule Man's confrontation with Norman were interesting. I think that Moonstone could have handled Own, though.
Dillon's new status makes since given his trouble with his powers. I don't like his new costume though. I suppose Web #2 will explain why he made the change. I did not like the revelation made by Michelle. Wacker's 2 page explaination seemed to make Peter seem more irresponsible. Joe Kelly's back up story was good.
uouh! mola
This whole miniseries has just been flat-out awesome. :)
Surprisingly entertaining! Dr. Voodoo, Ghost Rider, Marvel Zombies, Legion of Monsters -- Hellstrom is just everywhere lately, isn't he?
I really love Rhodey's new power set. But I've got to say, this series hasn't really done it for me.
TASKMASTER RULES, MY GOD IT'S ABOUT DAM TIME THAT HE GETS SOME SHINE, also I MUST say love the way the stories going
Sam love your work...hope to touch base with you. rlr@framelightproductions.com Bob Robinson
I enjoyed the collection -- but only half of the stories in it were by John Byrne which I found a bit odd since it is the "Visionaries" collection.
Had never read the 2 books leading up to X-Factor #1 so that was nice -- I mean you can't have too many panels devoted to Jean in her mostly ripped apart evening gown. And Scott & Maddy's kid... I'm drawing a blank there too...
How'd the Skrulls ever get their shape-changing powers back?
This title splits into World of Warcraft: Alliance and World of Warcraft: Horde after issue #25.

This issue has a nice balance of action and a ton of character work. You really get to know more of the 3rd and 4th stringers. Speaking of non-regulars, this issue has a surprise visit from the Molecule Man. WTH???
Just now finding Elephanmen. I'm liking it so far.
This issue was an instant classic in my opinion.
This series is making me laugh! Loving it!
so there's only two covers, with the Barrows/Nei cover of Black Lantern Supes standing over the headstone, and the variant cover. So wtf is the Welcome to Smallville cover with Black Lantern Superman standing in front of the billboard? arrgh.
Wow, that's the best issue in the Blackest Night crossovers so far.
Red Skull. Doom. Zola. Cap. Cap 2. Black Widow. Hawkeye (the real one). That's good soup.
Everything about this issue was fantastic. If they can keep up the bewildering speed of the action along with the consistently funny humor, this series will rock.
I never liked Mystique, have little interest in either of the refugees from the Age of Apocalypse, and always thought that Omega was a rather thinly thought out character. That said, here are a bunch of mutants I don't care about interacting in a rather entertaining way.
Marvel's cosmic books are just outstanding! Clearly Realm of Kings will be no exception. :)
So far, this has been mediocre in every imaginable way.
I'll admit, I'm already enjoying this limited series way more than I thought I would. :)
Filibusting comics ... know it? I wrote it!

A new hero will step into an old speedster’s boots. Barry Allen makes the ultimate sacrifice. Yep. You read that correctly. Courtesy of superstar writer Geoff Johns and artist Ethan Van Sciver. You’ve heard it said before, but this issue doesn’t dance around it — nothing will be the same.
this got duplicated over here without the accent -- doh.
From the covers these look like my kind of stories. Did they ever get collected anywhere?
Zombies are the new Smurfs. They are everywhere!!
Underwater Jedi-action at it's finest!
HEY LOOK!! .... another Deadpool comic. :P
The Eye of Sauron .... er Spdirman sees all. :P
I've written a review and wrap-up of this series for the Long and Shortbox Of It review blog:
http://longandshortboxofit.blogspot.com/2009/11/life-and-times-and-death-of-savior.html
If it wasn't for David Mack, I would never have cracked a comic book. I, like so many women before me just saw the big titted covers and avoided them. It was 2002 and I was stuck in a comic book store while my young nephew played in a Yu-gi-oh tournament. I saw the cover of Kabuki and was immediately drawn to the watercolors. Kabuki was amazing - I finally found a female that wasn't bait! Every comic book, every action film, every book I had opened showed me women who were built to be protected, to be captured and dangled as bait for someone stronger, brighter, and better than her to save. Kabuki was such a breath of fresh air. Since then I have found "Powers", "Runaways", "Y - the Last Man", and "Buffy" - as well as taken my screenwriting skills to start my own comic book. So, thanks Mr. Mack for opening my eyes to comics and the depth they can travel.

Sorry Brian Azzarello. I love your work, but this was a zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I had no idea this comic existed!
This is always a great book but yeah, this issue was particularly awesome. What a brilliant twist at the end there!
I'm assuming this story takes place before Blackest Night.
We learn something about Carl in this issue and like it or not he seems to be aging quite rapidly. We also seem to find out some new information with regard to the zombies and we learn a thing or two about Eugene I suppose. It's a fun issue again. If you haven't checked out this series you might be surprised at the heavy emotions in this issue but it's too good to pass up.
Issue 1 was solicited as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" but its indica and all issues solicited since have "Modern Warfare 2: Ghost", so I changed it to that.
Well they are listing it as "Captain America: Reborn" in the indica as of issue 4, which makes it even more of a pain for sticklers like me, but that's enough to lump it all under that title now here. :)
I counted 12
With Hickman's first arch, the FF is on track to reclaim the title "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine"!
This issue was blahblahblah.
I don't think Diggle's new direction is for me.
Yes! Illyana's back and already has saved the entire team from death.
kneel before doom! hulk smashhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh my! This comic is amazing! Seriously one of the best I've read in a long time, and the art is incredible!
just finished reading this one and it was great
The Dark Avengers Vs the New Avengers is gonna be what it comes to in the end. This issue kinda shows who would win in that fight ^_^
I think you have the variant and the standard cover mixed up.
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Now this issue closes out the storyline rather nicely, but it reveals that Spidey seems to still have (at least some of) his new powers from The Other? Will we be seeing Spidey stingers again?
Well, this issue was nothing like what the summary said, but it was still pretty darn good. At long last, the New Avengers are going toe-to-toe with the Dark Avengers, and for the most part the Dark variety goes down hard. :)
Why the hell is issue #15 taking so friggin long to get shipped!?
Looks like we get to see inside the many layers of Dick Grayson, his feelings about Bruce, and how Jason at least strikes a cord within Dick. What is Dick doing with the body of the Bat locked in a vault with the pass word Zur En Arrh, talk about old school.
I love this series so very much. I especially loved this issue and it's end.
that was a good issue, but I don't think I care for the ending. I think I'm going to be earning my red ring soon.
holy crap what an issue
Such an awesome looking cover

Ooh, she's such a bitch! Love it.
This continues to be a great book -- snarky, twisted and action-packed! Everyone must read!
Another solid issue of this mini run. I am going to go out on a limb here and state that if you are not reading this now, then you are not that interested in Captain America. <grin> I also like the way Steve’s time-hopping brings him to the moment that forever altered his life: that fateful day when he was frozen in ice and Bucky Barnes was doomed to a life as the Winter Soldier. Of course, that’s how it had to happen; but it doesn’t make it any less sweet when it does.
gorillas pwn monkeys every time

Holy crap, I didn't believe the rumours, but. . . Holy crap, it was still a massive shock. A very brutal issue.
@Ryan: Indeed, I can't believe he took out his own family, makes me wonder what the Punisher's real goal is at this point, and whatever that goal is, will it survive into Franken-Castle?
you're correct. it has no slated release date. make sure it's on your pull list so you don't miss out on it!!!!
