Woooaaahh the X-men just got fun, so much I Stopped what i was doing to write about it, the problems which have plagued this book for me , has been the X-men in and of themselves haven't always occupied the most exciting corner of the marvel universe. Part of this is there rogue's gallery is weak, Magento and the Brotherhood of evil mutants being the most interesting, Apocalypse and Mr Sinister bore me to tears, The Brood is an Alien rip off, The Hell-fire club has potential but hasn't been written well since the 80's , Nimrod the and all other mutant hunting time travelling machine including Mojo, are well ...tepid at best. This current archin X-men 25 makes the best of the mess made when Jubliee was turned into a vampire, and is bringing other elements of the marvel universe in which i think makes for a better read , as does any X title when it is allowed to roam in the bigger sand box.
On the other hand the Secret Avengers is starting to feel like an X-book, the art is continues to be horrid.
Thor is getting better on every front , though not where it need to be mainly more Thor, yeah i know a novel concept to actually have an entire issue focused on the main character. But hammer hitting things is a good start.
jumping companies ....Teen Titans the art dazzles but they need to be careful about becoming too obtuse, in fact after Super-man this could become a problem plaguing most of the 52 titles, a myriad of mythology which takes twists that become too contrived to care. Aqua-man 6 just fell into the Thor pit, a whole issue of just Mera, though not as bad as it sounds.
Yet to read Voo-doo but Dark Knight was one of the more entertaining dc titles, though kinda of an anti X-men as he has villains coming out of the wood work at a rate that is almost silly and very cartoonish.
