It was worse than just a mixed bag with Marvel this week. Cho really pussed out and played mind games with Danvers rather than knocking her to the moon like Banner would have if he was the Hulk. Which kind throws a monkey wrench in Bendis portrayal of Banner, sure Banner tried to cure himself and went to others for help on this, but eventually when backed into a corner he came out fighting, I don't see him being a boy scout like Super-man and giving some one his kryptonite, if he was going to kill himself he would have done it already. Warlock's appearance in New Avengers 14 was the books best moment, I liked that fact that many of the corners of the Marvel Universe came together in this book, it felt cluttered like too much was going on to let any of it get anywhere. There was a little less of a cluster-fuck as they attempted to get Extraordinary X-men back on the tracks in it's 12th issue. Not sure how Majick was able to take her brother out like that? There might be hope for this book yet.The 9th issue of Ms. Marvel continues to find the book unimpressive and nothing really gets pushed further in the Civil War story. The Amazing Grace arc of Amazing Spider-Man kicked off in 1.6, and it was awful, story telling at it's worst like something out of a DC book. The fourth issue of Black Panther is boring as hell and further proof we should doubt if he can hold a movie together on his own.
The 7th issue of Captain Marvel continues to fail at pleading this characters case. There is no way that you can see what Carol is doing as being effective, much less right. X-men 92 was far from great but it was not the waste of time I was expecting. Another book getting a little better was Spider-Gwen whose 10th issue feels like it should. Thanks to the Kree Kid Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is back on track in it's 9th issue. The 5th issue of Mockingbird felt like Buffy, it didn't seem like her and I am not sure why Miles and Howard the Duck were in this issue. Another luke warm issue was the 9th issue of Drax, CM Punk writes like a bonehead and while i want some kind of throw down in every issue, he writes like you think a wrestler would.
The art work to Uncanny Avengers 11th issue is a big improvement. Vision really shows up and brings his a-game in a big way and it was cool seeing him Cap and Wasp, this made it feel like a real Avengers book, even more than All- New Avengers , which was another big fun battle issue, Uncanny just connected in a more genuine way.
