The Week in Comics

the Incredible Hulk 5 , SPOILERS AHEAD-The reveal of Dr Doom,as the Hulk's scientific benefactor was let out early on, though after the whole World War Hulk's thing on Pak's run, Doom working with the Hulk didn't make alot of sense ...But I'll see how it plays out the fact this story arch has been drawn out over 5 issues into a 6th , is moving a little slow as we tango with the Gamma Zoo Island, but lots of smashing so it's a minor gripe, the whole this story has a major impact on the rest of the marvel universe thing they are always pitching is now getting to be very Chicken Little

Venom- 13. whatever- It reminds me of the replacement Fantastic Four issues where, Spider man, Ghost Rider, Hulk and Wolverine teamed up, the use of Venom, Ghost Rider, X-2e and the Red Hulk isn't even trying to hide this fact, entertaining no new ground broken here, not sold on a female Ghost Rider, and Venom/Flash Thompson...is proving to be a weak character doesn't even feel like Thompson's voice ,

Secret Avengers 22- the art work is the horrid penciling fro the Hulk book, we've got magic super adaptoids, o.k got send Capt Britain back to X-calibur , and I might by the line-up, I think this books should just get turned into west coast avengers

Black Panther-mmm the art is a little suspect as Luke Cage and Kingpin are both drawn a little puny, the title character has never grabbed just thought this Kingpin fight would be interesting but it didn't go any different than say a dare devil fight , leaving me to wonder is this just a "TOKEN" title, if so make it more Shaft

Bat-man & Robin- I have never seen the need for Robin, I do like Damian Wayne , perhaps more as a Teen Titans and less as a pea in the pod to Bat-man, the father son thing makes sense and Robin is now synonymous with the character and there is no avoiding that, the art work is still good but i think the writing could lend it self to playing up to the epic potential , this whole spy vs spy thing ... leaves much to be desired when i first gave this one a shot i like the writing but it's becoming too drawn out and bogged down with forced back story
