Avengers was indeed great. Love the new villains.

Punisher War Zone #2 was the best Black Widow characterization I have ever read. She was actually a super spy, not a just a hot redhead with wrist blasters.

I don't know if anyone is reading Red She-Hulk, but each issue gets better, bit by bit. This issue has Betty Ross fighting the Avengers, links to Hickman's run on SHIELD, Machine Man, and a bunch of other crazy stuff all happening.

Rucka's entire run on Punisher has been so freaking good. Too bad Marvel basically pulled the rug out from under him by adding Punisher to Thunderbolts, thus ending his run so soon without consulting him first or anything.

Thunderbolts #1 was just awful. I mean, so horribly set up. I can now fully understand why people dislike Way.

**Delirium** · 2012-12-05 17:52

I like Way, but the whole issue was just all over the place. Also, the art was pretty bad.

**Delirium** · 2012-12-05 17:55

So I subscribe to Uncanny X-Force through Marvel. It is pretty damn cheap(like 40% off). Other subscription sites seem to only be 10-25% off. Only problem is I get issues like 2-3 weeks after they come out. Anyone know a site that does maybe around that % off and ships quicker?

So I'm thinking my 5th pull may end up being Superior Spiderman after I see what happens in 700...

Spider-man seeing Doc Ock boning Aunt May was GROSS.

Matt Fraction donating bonuses from Hawkeye #7 to Red Cross/Hurricane Sandy relief effort

"We moved our schedule around to make this book happen, and it's coming together in record time," Fraction said. "When I did the initial interview about this book with MTV, it was the Friday before Thanksgiving and I had sketched out an idea for the story I wanted to tell. I banged the script out over the next week."

This. Very disappointing considering the character line up intrigues me. Iron Man has been pretty weak as well. I don't know if it's the writing, the art, or my flu, but it can be hard to follow, especially the action scenes.

Deadpool has been fantastic though. Dr. Strange making Arrested Development references? Yes, yes and more yes.

MAA: Tigra just released, 90 CP. Deadpool in 4 days. Supposedly will cost 135 CP. Bleed got a HUGE buff. If you're afflicted with bleed and you attack or counter-attack, an extra bleed happens at the end of the attack called Bleed Out.

Why the hell is Tigra 90 CP? She seems to be another Black Cat to me. Not surprised by the price for Deadpool though. Knew once they released MB for 200 there was going to be an increase on the PVP reward characters compared to normal rates. So far I'm in a good spot to actually pick up Cable through the tournament thanks in large part to the greatness of the Hoarfrost Mace.

I started reading it when it came out because of Fraction/Aja on Iron Fist. I hated Hawkeye before this book.

I tried to PVP the last couple days but it got to the point I was filled with rage so I'll be happy with Nailgun.

Gail Simone forced off Batgirl via email
Jim Starlin and J.M. DeMatteris get N52 titles

**grantlogan** · 2012-12-09 20:13

DC is just going off the rails, they treat their writers and artists so bad.

**Kyo** · 2012-12-10 05:39

Gail Simone off batgirl is fucking dumb, her writing has been fantastic. Guess ill be canceling that one. Also, Thunderbolts #1 was fucking terrible, Avengers #1 was great. New batman in a few days.
