[H-E-D]

WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 — thanks to Exciter for letting me use Steve in such a major way!
AGENTS OF A.R.C.A.N.A. #51 — I knew trigonometry couldn’t be trusted!
ATLANTIS ATTACKED #2 — god I had a lot of books this month.
BLACK PANTHER: KING OF WAKANDA! #43 — well, this sounds complicated!

CAPTAIN UNIVERSE: BEYOND #1 — blew beyond my expectations!
CRUX #2 (CROSSGENESIS #11) — more? Really?
THE ENIGMA CORPS #3 *World War Zemo Tie-In.* — things are getting messy in the multiverse!
EˣCELSIOR #2 — the line is really x-panding!
F² #18 — nothing wrong with a trope!
HAWKEYE AND SPIDER-WOMAN #17 — I’m guessing… alive.
THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #43 — wait, holdup, when did Boston Legal join the Marve universe??
THE MAESTRO IN WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 — this is a lot of Hulks!
THE MIGHTY THOR #51 *World War Zemo tie-in* — talk about an overqualified babysitter

[nx01a]

One of everything!

[CaptCleghorn]

So many books, so few days. Let's take them all because frankly, I am incapable of deciding.

WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 (Cap vs. Ares. Freedom vs. War. Pretty much explains it all, doesn't it?)
AGENTS OF A.R.C.A.N.A. #51 ("Stillbirth of the New" is a powerful phrase.)
AGENTS OF FURY #30 (The best depictions of T'Challa have had him in a position where he's controlling surroundings. It takes Marvell2100 to apply the chessboard visual we all knew was there all the time.)
AMAZING FANTASY #35: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ("Who is Number One?" "You are, Number Six." or "Who is Number One?" "You are Number Six.")
ATLANTIS ATTACKED #2 ("The oceans are already thick with blood spilled, and the sharks are circling." You know, you're all giving me inferiority complexes. This is good $#!+.)
BLACK PANTHER: KING OF WAKANDA! #43 (Ooooohh, this is that artificial life subplot talked about earlier, I think. Or I'm incorrect.)
CAPTAIN AMERICA #51 *World War Zemo tie-in* (Wait, the SJW in me demands to know if US Archer's big rig is carbon fueled or is clean electric.)
CAPTAIN UNIVERSE: BEYOND #1 (Congratulations on this title. This is arguably the best concept for fanfic as it does differ wildly with every recipient.)
CRUX #2 (CROSSGENESIS #11) (I feel for this. There have been many mornings I've woken to six or more inches of snow.)
DARK INTELLIGENCE #20 (Way to show off your privilege. Most books get at most ONE Jason Strongbow.)
THE ENIGMA CORPS #3 *World War Zemo Tie-In.* (The true villains. Wouldn't that be us writers? Excuse me, I need to handle a few final arrangements.)
EˣCELSIOR #2 (Exclusive hotel guests being used as part of an army? Actually doing something? Not even is a funny book.)
F² #18 ("finally concludes?" Are you sure? It's about f***ing time.)
HAWKEYE AND SPIDER-WOMAN #17 (Hawkeye's dead? I thought it was Henry Blake who died.)
THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #43 (So Crane, Poole and Schmitt gets a fee of $583,333,333. That's a nice few issues work.)
THE MAESTRO IN WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 (Zemo sez: "Who doesn't have a Hulk?")
THE MIGHTY THOR #51 *World War Zemo tie-in* (Thinking about it, this would make a great episode of Divorce Court. Or ... Maury. "Thor, they are ALL your children!")
MISTRESS OF KUNG FU season 2: “Brothers and Sisters” #8 (Just how bad is it when Fu Manchu is one of the good guys?)
PETER PARKER, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #25 (How do you measure a year in the life?)
SPELLBOUND #14 (You know, if Xorr had gotten to bed last night at a reasonable hour...)
TYGER TIGER, CHANCELLOR OF MADRIPOOR: WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 (Villains come up with their evil versions of a superhero group. Heroes go "You want nasty and underhanded? Meet our copyright lawyers.")
ULIK THE TROLL: WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 (Every Ulik story needs someone slapping their crotch and saying "Ulik THIS!")
UNCANNY X-MEN #51 *World War Zemo tie-in* (My broker said to buy Hexus early, but did I listen?)
VENOM: AGENT OF SHIELD #4 (My advice if SHIELD is calling, say "Your call is very important to us. Please hold for the next available metahuman.")
WAYFINDER & ALETA: WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 (OF 4) (You never, NEVER, ask if things can get any worse. You just don't. Damn noobs.)
WORLD WAR ZEMO: ON THE BATTLEFIELD #2 (Compared to Zemo, Monsanto's the villain. It's a bummer this is real life.)
X-MEN: SILVER #2 (I suggest Nina Simone's "Everybody's Gone to the Moon" as a theme song for this issue.)

[Exciter]

WORLD WAR ZEMO #2 — thanks to Exciter for letting me use Steve in such a major way!

My pleasure. Takes the pressure off of me to think up what Cap would be doing!

AMAZING FANTASY #35: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ("Who is Number One?" "You are, Number Six." or "Who is Number One?" "You are Number Six.")
CAPTAIN AMERICA #51 *World War Zemo tie-in* (Wait, the SJW in me demands to know if US Archer's big rig is carbon fueled or is clean electric.)

I’m not a number! I’m a free man!

And the U.S. 1 runs on pure patriotism… plus an arc reactor!
