First off I gotta say sorry kid_flash but I couldn't wait :p

So what did you get and what are your thoughts on what you got???

I got the following:

Ultimate X-men #20 - Absolutely amazing, lots happend in this issue and there was alot of emotion. I would have never guess that _____ would have talked Xavier into staying with the X-men. The page that was left blank without any words was amazing. I don't see why any X-fan wouldn't have like it. This IS my favorite issue of Ultimate X-men so far...

New X-men #129 - I was alittle disappointed with this issue. The Scott's "talk" with Emma was left out till hopefully next issue. We haven't learned much more about either Fantomex or Weapon 12 but still a great issue...

Spider-man: Blue #3 - I must say that this issue wasn't as good as the first 2 but not that it sucked or anything it was great just not as good. We once again see someone lurking in the shadows. In the second issue I thought it was Norman but Harry told Peter in this issue that he is still in the hospital and doing fine so who knows who it is. We are already halfway, I can't wait for the other half...

P.P. Spiderman #46 - An amazing issue. The art was so-so at moments it went great with the story others it was blah. At the end we find out that there is going to be another live in danger and that Peter will do drastic measures to make sure he/she doesn't get hurt. Not to sound mean or evil but someone better die in this arc :p

Wonderful issues this week. I can't wait to read Amazing Spiderman (Which has a GREAT cover.), Spawn (Which has a great cover also.) and Thing:The Freakshow next week...

Deadpool # 69, haven't read it yet. I biked over a mile to get to the comic shop and didn't see too much worth buying now I know better for when I go back Friday.

I think you will enjoy the issue of Deadpool even if it is the last. I must say it was a great way to end it. I really liked the prank calls :p

I could only spend five dollars, so all I could buy was the new Spiderman: Sweet Charity book; that comic was hilarious! :D

Transformers #4 (both covers) - liked it but I hope there is more explained in the next issue. Pat Lee is awesome.
Daredevil #35 - Havent read yet
Gotham Knights #31 - I liked the art and the tie to the fugitive storyline. Loved the Black and White.

I got:

Batman: Gotham Knights #31 - Another great issue by Devin. The ending was predictable, and rather anti-climactic, but the rest of the issue was well worht the money, I loved the scens with Batman and the platoon.

G.I. Joe #8 - Storm Shadow takes out a bunch of Joes. How could this not be a great issue?? :D I love what they're doing with this series.

Spider-Man: Blue Book 3 - Pretty entertaining, but I'm not as impressed by this Loeb/Sale title as I have been by previous ones.

Thanos: Infinity Abyss #3 - I'm not really sure why I keep getting this title. I like the scenes with Thanos, but the rest is just terrible. Don't know if I'll get issue #4 or not.

Transformers #4 - Picked up both covers. Great issue! Lots of big battling 'bots! Its about time we got some of this sort of action in this title!

I was much more impressed by Daredevil: Yellow and their other work. Loeb & Sale have long been my favorite duo, but this book is pretty standard. Compared to other books on the market, it's superb, phenomonal and deserving of awards. Compared to their other stories, however, this book is garbage. Just one man's opinion though. Overall grade for Blue #3 is a B

I also bought Flash: Time Flies and was bored to tears. For so long now, I've been proud to be a Flash fan at this point in history when us fans have such a fantastic writer (Geoff Johns) and artist (Scott Kolins) at the helm of our cherished title. Today, my pride was all-but shattered when John Rozum and Seth Fisher gave us this book. I can only hope that nobody goes to this book for anything like a good jump-on point because this doesn't reflect what the Flash title is currently about. This is just bad. D+ because, hey, it was a decent vision of a future and because it's still a Flash book. Otherwise, this would've gotten whatever I could give that is lower than an "F." I dare say that Judd Winick is producing more innovative stories over in Green Lantern.... NAHHHH! :)

I had to play major catch up on the Fugitive storyline so I got parts 14-Gotham Knights #31.

I also got Nightwing #71- This was a really good issue. And I think Devin Grayson is going to do great things with this title.
