I havn't read Children's Crusade from the beginning but why is Marvel dragging it out with the release dates?

[Delirium]

well at first it was supposed to be every other month. It kept getting delayed(Im assuming the art took a long time) and they started saying it will end the same time as fear itself/schism and lead into something else. Some time after that they must have come up with the idea of Avengers vs X-Men and decided it would tie into that.

It really sucks because it's hard to keep up with coming out so erratically.

[Delirium]

Children's Crusade 8 was the only Marvel thing I bought this week and it did not disappoint. Jim Cheung should have done some art on AvX, although I have a feeling he takes his time and that's part of the reason why Children's Crusade takes so long to come out

Kickass 2 #6:

Spoiler: show

Avengers Fuckin' Assemble, Asshole!

[Delirium]

I can never get into Millar's writing. I know a lot of people love him :/

[tyven]

last page of ff13 had me fist pumping and cheering. art didnt bother me much last issue but it got on my nerves a bit this go round.

[tyven]

omg teen titans was so so so so bad. i hate the dc relaunch so much

[Sumiko]

Jim Cheung is amazing but he is a little slow And Justin Ponsor colors like every other book. the poor guy barely has any time to spend with family or get out haha.

[Kaslo]

So getting Children's Crusade in hardcover when I can.

I like Flash, although this issue was kinda bleh. I, Vampire and Batwoman are fantastic imo. I've really enjoyed Voodoo. Birds of Prey is ok, as well.


Unrelated, Avengers Annual comes out next week. About freaking time. New Avengers Annual came out what? 3-4 months ago? Barely remember what happened...

You know a lot of people that love him? I feel bad for you :/. Millar has gone off the deep and a few years back I think, with his prominent use of rape and glorification of fucked up things done by fucked up people.

i really enjoyed kick ass, then i read more of millers work and its all the same, as many f bombs as possible and ridiculous violence. its so bad

as for kid flash, i like him too, but thats literally it. i liked when he couldnt promise that robins sweatshirt would make it back

[Delirium]

this weeks pulls
X-23

Spoiler: show

was good, not great. I guess since we already know what happens, it was slightly less interesting. Good to see Laura and Jubilee kick some ass, especially that creepy dude dressed as a bear with a ten year old.

X-Sanction #2

Spoiler: show

I'M DOING THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER! We get it Loeb, we get it. Very average.

Avengers Academy

Spoiler: show

The only thing I liked about this is Hybrid from Rom the Space Knight. Can they just end this time traveling Reptil arc already?

Avengers Annual

Spoiler: show

As much as I enjoyed the brawlfest of New Avengers Annual, this was terribad. the "real" Avengers show up and take down the Revengers team with no effort at all. Oh and Wonder Man might not be real? Lame! At least it is a very pretty book

Non-Marvel stuff
Fatale #1 by Ed Brubaker

Spoiler: show

If you like horror and/or noir you will like this book. I don't really know what to say, but check it out.

Huntress #4 of 6

Spoiler: show

Glad my suspicisons the Italian reporters actually knew Helena was Huntress. Will be interesting to see where the story goes in the last two issues.

also, I got the marvel 2012 calendar today so I have Sumiko's work now Gotta remove it without destroying it, and find a way to get it on my wall easily.

One thing really irked me about Uncanny X-Force 19.1

Spoiler: show

Rouge absorbed alot of Wolverpocalypse's power... Shouldn't she have absorbed a healing factor or did I forget something? Also, Depowering Jean, fuck off AoA

[grantlogan]

I'm kinda mad they used X-Force as a lead-in for another book but It was still an interesting read. AoA universe can catch no breaks. Avengers annual ending was just whaaa? So Wanda summoned Simon back from non-existance but made him evil too? I guess we'll find out down the road. And as per usual, X-Sanction is a steaming turd.

I don't know if anyone has been reading Fear Itself: The Fearless but it's been a great read. I recommend it to everyone.

Promo pic from AvX from Leinil Francis Yu. Psylocke's face looks so drastically different depending who draws her

Some might think it's a dumb gimmick but I LOVE that Marvel is doing the companion VS books for AVX. Just a comic that focuses on the entire fights.

[tyven]

I feel like mags would pwn any avenger. is wolvie gonna fight himself or is this just Scott's Xmen?
