...If you bought Rebirth #1. It wasn't that great.
But the MOTW for me was JSA #25:
Sorry about the spoiler tags, my bad, really. but hey, here's a scan for you to show if it's true or not:
But the MOTW for me was JSA #25:
The wizard Shazam returns after Jay frees him from the Rock of Finality, and he takes back Adam's power, as well as Isis, Mary's and Billy's (Billy turns into "Black Billy" for a bit. Not, you know, black, but a dark Marvel version. It wasn't as bad as Mary Marvel's was.
He also turns Teth Adam and Adrianna (Isis) into statues, and disappears, threatening to go after Freddy Freeman and his "different" magic (someone care to explain that? I didn't read Trials of Shazam), leaving Billy and Mary no access to the Rock of Eternity.
Also, the JSA cuts no members, and Atom Smasher returns. Very good issue, with Ordway art.

I skipped this one because I don't care about the Marvel family.

I didn't buy it, but my Comic Book Shop Owner Guy was recommending it like mad every time someone walked in. Weird! He usually has an okay opinion.
So far, I only read Messiah War Part 2...
And Iron Man.
Action Comics will get a Captain Atom back-up (try and rehab that shitstorm of character assassination)
Green Arrow will have a Black Canary back-up (which is....weird. Just charge an extra dollar but put more content in it)
War of Kings 2, well...
Fuck Gladiator.
Destroyer was even better than I thought it would be.
A full work print of Wolverine being released on the torrents, supposedly it's DVD quality, doesn't have the full music and most of the CGI effects aren't there otherwise it's the movie, oh yeah the extra 14 minutes they later went and filmed aren't in there either but overall it's suppose to be god awful. I mean really bad. Deadpool fans are in for a major disappointment.
Also it has some Batman Begin music in one scene according to those who watched it, go figure.
Karma coming back to bite Fox in the ass maybe?
So you're a sadist who hates Deadpool fans?
Maybe the negative buzz will delay the film and force a major overhaul.

I like both Deadpool and Deadpool fans, they're both crazy and lets face it, it's better to be crazy than normal.
Sadly I doubt the buzz will do anything to save this film, I've yet to see one positive reaction from those who watched the work print. Have yet to see it myself so can't say it's as bad as they say but considering all the news that came out about the film so far I'm having a hard time believing it can be anything but what is being said thus far.
Those extra 14 minutes supposedly add a lot more Deadpool into the movie which is good in a way since the actor nails him from comments made so far, sadly the movie doesn't quite nail what Deadpool himself is about and that's one of the biggest failings of the movie.
That'd be next to impossible. There's exactly 1 month left before it's release, and they've already spent millions on marketing and such.
The funny thing is, this is one case where the movie will most likely be pretty damn true to the source and be awful precisely because of it. I can't believe they never realized that so many of Wolverine's solo adventures are just awful.
Jackman says any possible sequel would be based on the Claremont/Miller limited. I don't know how I feel about that...
these, might not be that bad!
Again, I haven't seen it, but surely there's room for him to be fixed for a subsequent appearance if one were so inclined.
Pepper having a suit that can't hurt anyone is a nice touch.
Agents of Atlas #3 was good as well (Sentry casually hurls the Mandarin's son into the ocean in a joke panel), but they already have three artist on the book in 3 issues. What the fuck. And Cap only appeared for one page, another misleading cover Marvel has been doing recently.
i seriously didn't even know this was actually in production until there it was
Someone posted the first two pages here a long time ago, and they were amazing.
I picked up the trade of the original series plus the new issue today, and soooooooo good.
Wiki says there'll be a 3rd series after this one. I hope the wait time isn't too crazy.
Splurch
I need to re-read the Wolverine: Enemy of State and Weapon of SHIELD trades now.
Coleen Coover's Man Thing was aww so kewte.
One emo Flash? Okay.. I can deal. Two? Well... fine... but seriously, all four of them?? Seriously, this wasn't a Rebirth, it was a wake.
He seems to be aware of what he did though, he lashed out at Flame Boy when he questioned him on it.
It didn't come out this week.
Because it was so damn good you guys. It's composed of three stories, and a framing sequence between each story. The setup for the issue is that the assistant editors at Marvel get tired of having their plot pitches ignored by the senior editors, so they all meet in secret to tell stories to each other.
For four bucks you get the framing sequence story, written by Chris Eliopoulos, the American Eagle story by Jason Aaron that was previously available online, a great D-Man story set in Iraq, and a hilarious Mini Marvels featuring Hawkeye, Dr. Strange, and the Avengers. I'll scan a few pages later, but it's probably my favorite thing I bought this week.

Unless Iron man was on the avenger at the same time as you.
The short version is that Freddy had to earn the magic of SHAZAM, only its a different group of magic gods than what the wizard Shazam had used.
Other than that ... I like the art in Cable again, but Stryfe is corny and someone on these forums recently predicted a return to the 90s. I am now convinced they were right. I want to like Deadpool but I doubt I'll keep picking it up monthly. Secret Warriors isn't bad, but nothing about it really grabs me. Dark Reign fantastic four has potential. I think I am going to scan Ben Grimm with monocle for my user picture this evening. "'Tis the hour of clobbering!"
And Oh No! Giant Robots attack New York City.
Seems a lot like press releases as opposed to actual blog content so far. Like, there's no opinions or anything associated with the articles. Just stuff they usually forward to CBR or Newsarama. I like the look of it and The Source is a great title for it though.
I kept thinking someone was playing a little too much Bioshock when I saw those designs.
Yeah, me too. Those robots look like they are Big Daddy inspired.
