AMAZING SPIDERMAN # 635 - The Grim Hunt is here! It’s Kravens versus Spider-people! The Kravens ran Spidey through the Gauntlet and are attempting to raise of their fallen family from the dead! The first issue of the Grim Hunt was well written, action-packed and was accompanied by two surprisingly interesting back-up pieces.
THUNDERBOLTS # 145 - In true Suicide Squad form, Luke Cage takes his band of unruly criminals out to investigate some fall-out from Siege. Jeff Parker and Kev Walker introduce a new character (the Troll?!?) and if you’re like me, you can’t wait to see how the cliff-hanger from Thunderbolts #144 turns out!
ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS 2 #4 - The Ultimate Ghost Rider faces off against Millar & Yu’s new Ultimate Avengers! The Punisher, New Hulk and company face off against the fiery biker from the underworld! You may not think the undead Ghost Rider would fit into the Ultimate U, none-the-less Millar’s portion of it, but you probably didn’t think the Punisher in his post- Civil War Cap suit would either. So far, this series has been a must-read!
BATMAN STREETS OF GOTHAM #13 - Batman: Streets of Gotham has, unfailingly, been the best Batman title on the shelves for the past year. In Streets #13, Dini and Nguyen focus on Hush. Tommy Elliot has been “playing Bruce Wayne” since his “death” (not a really bright move, if the Bat-Team really thought he was actually dead huh…) but now, with the inevitable Return on the horizon, what’s a homicidal maniac who looks like the Batman to do? Find out…
SUPERMAN #700 - It seems like only yesterday that it was announced that J. Michael Straczynski was going to take over Superman. Dan Jurgens pens a story that sounds like it’s hot on the heels of Alan Moore’s “Whatever Happened to…” and James Robinson mercifully wraps up his wildly disappointing run on the Man of Steel, setting the stage for JMS’ debut in this giant-size issue.
Also this week, check out the the debut of Green Arrow's new series, Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne, Second Coming: X-Factor #206 & X-Men: Legacy #237!!! And the Origin of the Red Hulk begins in Hulk #23! All this week at Evolution Comics!
