I read too many comics. It's a habit that so far has only benefited my local comic shop. That changes now as you can learn from the mistakes of my purchases, and perhaps even be intrigued to check out some of the cool picture books of the week. There's always the option to make fun of my tastes, too.
Since there's a lot of ground to cover I'll try to be brief
Marvel
-Deadpool #11 (Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan, Mike Hawthorne)
Hijinks continue to ensue as Deadpool runs down a creep who sold his soul so that he could perv out. The comedy action remains to hit the right beats and stay fresh.
-Wolverine and the X-Men #31 (Jason Aaron, Nick Bradshaw)
We get a look inside the Hellfire Academy for future evil mutants. Wolverine will eventually get his claws into this new Hellfire Club, and the way Aaron is building to it will make that moment so much sweeter.
-Guardians of the Galaxy #3 (Brian Michael Bendis, Steve McNiven, Sara Pichelli)
Decent story. Bad characterization. Cool drawings. Not so hot redesigns.
-Uncanny Avengers #9 (Rick Remender, Daniel Acuña)
I wonder if there are people reading this that didn't read Uncanny X-Force? Read that first if you haven't and catch up on this, because Remender is in for the glorious long haul.
-Superior Spider-Man #12 (Dan Slott, Christos Gage, Giuseppe Camuncoli)
Superior is still an interesting read, and it still is something I wouldn't hand to a kid who wants to read a Spider-Man comic. Not necessarily because it is "mature," but because I want kids to see superheroes as heroic. Setting out to end someone's life is certainly not heroic (it can still make for a great comic if that's your thing).
