Fearless Defenders did not live up to its concept or cast by a long shot, from what I've read of it. Brian Wood's X-Men is doing a bit better at filling the lady-driven superhero book niche, though I...

Anyone who hasn't been reading Bendis' X-Men: the issue of Uncanny (#14) that just dropped on MU today is a magnificent done-in-one story. Probably the first issue where BMB wrote an actually...

Highlights on this Monday's batch:

-All-New X-Men: This series usually isn't good enough for me to comment on--though it's good enough for me to read and I appreciate it a lot--but this issue was...

I love Infinity and am generally in the tank for Hickman, but I do have problems with it.

Mainly that Thanos is an incredibly generic villain in it. I'm cool with the Builders just being a...

I've read plenty of May 1984 comics, though all of them after the fact. American Flagg! Sienkiewicz New Mutants! Ronin! The Swamp Thing issue with Etrigan spouting sonnets! Simonson Thor! I'd call...

Re: Thunderbolts, I find myself liking Deadpool in team books a lot. Remender wrote a great Deadpool in UXF. Deadpool is nice alongside things that... aren't Deadpool.

The current Deadpool run I...

Let's see. So glad someone actually made this!

Books I read this week:

HAWKEYE #14--Brilliant as always. I was worried I wouldn't be into these Wu issues, but... I am. I don't know why I...

The early issues or are all really solid; my favorites from that period are "Learning Curve" and "Legacy," the first Kingpin and second Green Goblin stories.

I also really liked the beginning of...

I would suggest picking up Daredevil again, either from where you left off or the new #1. If anything, it's only gotten more consistent and focused with Samnee's art.

X-Men Legacy is a stealth...

I guess I'm an "interested newcomer," but it would be cool to know exactly how this project was and what role an interested newcomer might have in it.

Honestly, I think it's officially been long enough that framing current Spider-Man stories in light of OMD is absurd. It's been a hundred fifty issues! For reference, a hundred fifty issues before...

He has been.

The (Peter Parker) Ultimate Spider-Man was pretty good at first, got pretty boring, and then got quite a bit better as he started to ramp up to the Miles Morales switch. It's all a...

East of West is a series that unironically uses the words "final form" (here) and it is wonderful.

MU has definitely lost focus on filling out the back catalogue, which is bothersome. In particular, they're shockingly skimpy on their Claremont X-Men, crapping out around #150.

And the lack of...

MU is how I read Marvel now, and I know I'm not the only one who's doing it.

The problem is that this makes it tough to keep up with the fandom. Can we keep a space in NuCBR for people to discuss...
