Amazing Spider-Man
Need I say more?

Also Ghost Rider. We're getting closer to the showdown between the Riders and it's gonna be so damn good

EDIT: Punisher looks like it's going to maintain its level of quality with the new writer
It's less FUCK KILL DIE than some of Ennis' stuff, especially Mother Russia or Kitchen Irish
This is more of a crime thriller that happens to star our good friend Frank

    Can't fathom how that may have happened.

    Yes I know that the writers are crime novelists, it's why I'm hoping they get Huston on board after the third arc
    But I actually like this a lot more than the FUCK KILL DIE stories

    Yea I have to agree with ASM for my moment of the week too. The backup story in it was excellent as well.

    X-Factor Presents Layla Miller was also awesome this week.

    For me was the line from the new U. X-men describing Logan:
    Wolverine. Adamantium claws and bones. Fast healer. Ubiquitous.

    The last TPB I bought of the Punisher was the second Barracuda arc. And it went from decent looking art in the first issue to shit in the following issues. Some of the Itchy and Scratchy like assaults from Frank on Barracuda ended up as red scribbles. It looked like something an unbalanced six year old would draw on a picture of his teacher.

    Legion of Three Worlds #1 didn't deliver on its promise yet, but it's pretty obvious that it will, so I'm excited.

    This issue was a lot of backstory

    the ending to Herc was friggin awesome

    also, i got some previews for next week, and IIF is looking much better than the last issue, Skaar is finally making some progress, USM is actually deviating from the game in a nice way, and Old Man Logan was fantastic and has a great twist on the last few pages

    Next weeks Old Man Logan indeed looks awesome, except for the fact that we have to wait 3 MONTHS after it comes out to get the next issue.

    Amazing Spider-Man was great if you don't like good story-telling and think that JR Jr is a wonderful artist. Otherwise I think it's time for Marvel to send Venom and the rest of the symbiotes back to the 90s where they belong.

    I hate JR Jr. Slott's a pretty good writer, no doubt, but he's not always on.

    Seriously "less Venom" in an issue without him was a dumb complaint
    Seeing as Eddie's not Venom anymore, for one thing
    I have a theory about him being Anti-Venom though
    And I doubt it's a symbiote

    My moment of the week was reading through Transmetropolitan in 2 nights.
    The ending was perfect
    I was all set to be sad and see him kill him self like Hunter S Thompson, then holy shit! 1% indeed.
    I'm late to the party on it but I don't care, it was great.
    Also Atomic Robo

    I don't understand why you thought it was so amazing. Nothing even happened until the last page of the main story and that itself was kind of meh.

    the eerie thing is that the ending of Transmet predates Hunter's suicide by a few years. it's rather uncanny how Ellis was able to channel Thompson into Spider.

    Popular theory is it's a pie or ice cream on his face.

    Was Robin this week a RIP crossover? I forgot to look at it. I don't regularly collect Robin but I got the previous two issues simply for the RIP Tie-in. And actually I was quite pleased with both of those purchases.

    As for my motw, I only had 4 books yesterday: Captain America, Uncanny X-Men, JLA, and Batman and the Outsiders. I haven't read my DC books yet, but as always, Captain America was freakin' good. I'm sure it will be my favorite for the week after I've finished my DC books.
