Kid Loki made YA for me.

Young Avengers was good.
I also really enjoy Avengers Arena and want more of it out so I can find out what happens.

I am really liking Avengers Arena. Too many man-children are crying over Mettle's death and the possible demise of Hazmat to see it's a great story.

I like that Hopeless and the editors put those emo letters in every issue and he replies very sweetly to them. But yeah, this might be one of the best NOW books. Great new character building (Deathlockett and Kid Britain.) Walker's art is amazing. I enjoy that one of the Braddock kids even mentioned how they might be in a virtual reality world in today's issue. Hitting all the right notes.

Btw.. sort of a side bar, but I've realized after Remender's Secret Avengers and Otherworld arc in Uncanny X-Force and AArena 5 that I really like Captain Britain. I'd love if someday Remender did a Cap't Brit solo title (he loves the character as well.) Such a badass power set that ties so well into storytelling. Maybe if Hopeless fleshes out the Braddock Academy more that could see more action too. Otherworld just has tons of story potential.

I loved how AA actually was kind of Meta this issue too, since a big rumor is they are all in some sort of VR (heck they even have video game life bars) and they had a character theorize that.

God, everyone bitching about characters dying will then bitch about how they didn't die and comic book deaths mean nothing.

Alan Moore and Alan Davis run on Captain Britain was good. There are TPB of it. Also, Excalibur was always a fun read

Batman #17 got perfect scores from most reviewers.

**Delirium** · 2013-02-28 21:42

Journey into Mystery was freaking awesome. Doc Spidey, Namor, Monica Rambeau, Hellcat all making cameos. And DAMN that last page.

I feel that early Excalibur is the quintessential thing to read Captain Britain(even though it's by Claremont). He hasnt been a big part of the MU until Remender recently brought him back in great fashion. See Uncanny X-Force and Secret Avengers to read some awesome Captain Britain.

So Batman Inc. has left me feeling even more that Death of the Family was worthless. I wasn't even blown away by Batman Inc 8 either though so meh.

Just makes it even clearer that Wonder Woman is the best DC book!

Going for the Batman RIP method where the big storyline in the core books is actually just side filler for the real storyline elsewhere. That being said I feel some lazarus pit action incoming.

Believe it or not the first two issues of the injustice comic has been enjoyable, fun storyline so far.

Spoiler: show

**Vagrant** · 2013-03-01 01:19

They actually seven or eight digital issues in so far but I agree. I've actually been enjoying it so far.

**Delirium** · 2013-03-01 01:26

In M:AA, Mockingbird is available for 160 CP for 5 days. Also, some special anniversary gifts and such.

As are the P5 costumes. I ended up buying Colossus and his P5. Don't ever use Cyc, so I am not sure if I will get his. I really wish I knew either a)when the next spec ops was or b)what the required heroes would be. I know the speculation is Wasp/CB but I wish I knew for sure

**grantlogan** · 2013-03-03 00:04

Captain Broken is just a nightmare in PVP, especially if you have a scrapper. Sadly, I foresee a nerf.

**Vagrant** · 2013-03-03 02:19

Ha him and the popularity of bruiser agents is the reason I use a WC blaster phoenix still instead of switching her to infiltrator.

**KoalaTrap** · 2013-03-03 16:04

So not a comic, but I started Warren Ellis' Gun Machine last night. It's awesome! Man I love Warren Ellis. Some cynical detective story weirdness.

I wouldn't be surprised if its CB/Wasp/Psylocke or Punisher.
