It's a conspiracy to take all my money. Two comics I don't usually get (one of them $4.99!) and an extra annual in the last two weeks, and they were all great so I've got to pick up the...
Let's see, there was that dinner with Storm in Uncanny X-Men #145, plus his candlelit dinner and chess game with Reed in Fantastic Four Special #1:

Great showing for Doom in this week's issues. Hickman's Doom is reliably great, but I was also particularly impressed with his take on Kristoff in NA #24 - I feel like he came off with a lot more...
This was kind of rushed, but it wrapped up much better than I was fearing given the circumstances. It's a shame that the potential of this series was mostly wasted - I can't help agreeing that the...
It just feels kind of sad continuing to read the last few issues of this book, because I feel like there are signs it could have improved a lot with some time to find its feet, and we already know...
I don't think I will ever stop laughing every time I see this page.

It's the Kingpin's face in the last panel that...
It feels kind of like kicking a book when it's already down, but that was really pretty disappointing. The writing's fine but more functional and plot-driven than the first two issues, without much...
Damn. Very disappointed - I couldn't get on with the art style at all and I feel like that's what killed its chances, but the writing was great and I really wanted to see where the Doom arc was going.
Maya Hansen's got to be up there too - bio-technologist and inventor of Extremis.
Not familiar with all the characters mentioned, but the main thing that stands out for me is that while Marvel...
It also bugs me a bit that the Future Foundation is basically a boarding school arrangement - okay, a few of the kids like Bentley might have nowhere else to go, but most of the others have parents...
The 'next time' tagline at the end of the issue refers to "more people who think they're Sue's boyfriend" (there's a running gag this issue about everyone thinking Namor is) so I'm wondering if that...
This is really great - I like the dialogue, and I love that the writer clearly has a really good handle on the history of all the Fantastic Four characters in this universe. Plus he's apparently...
Really liking the writing on this book, but I'm finding the art a struggle to get on with. (Characters' faces are the main thing that I focus on in comic art, and the inconsistency from panel to...
The Hickman/Epting FF run - issue 9, I think. I just uploaded a bunch of favourite Doom pics to post on another site the other week, and that one seemed appropriate for our new beginning here. :D

Glad to see this thread getting in right from the beginning! I'm looking forward to seeing what's going to be going...
