    After reading War of Kings #1, if you're not doing so, start following this series.

    Annihilation was good.
    Annihilation : Conquest was great.

    WoK is building on those two and it's going to be damn good!
    And if it isn't i'm going to sulk.

    I don't follow Marvel's space adventures, I don't know if I can jump into it. I mean I'd like to. the Inhuman's Secret Invasion mini got me interested.

    War of Kings looks so promising. Could be best Marvel event for the last few years, I reckon. Annhilation was awesome. Conquest wasn't as good, a bit messy. But this has the makings of an absolute classic.

    Also just finished Thor #13. Amazing character work with Loki. I saw a lot of it coming but the dialogue is just so crisp. #600 is next!

    Uhh #13? Isn't that #600. Do you mean #12 which is the one centered around Loki?

    Also read the latest Deadpool, the first part of Deadpool -vs- Thunderbolts.

    This is going to be a fun read!

    It's going to be upbeat and fun in Deadpool whilst serious going in the Thunderbolts parts.

    I think I'm going to enjoy the Thunderbolts issues of the crossover more. I don't know the current Deadpool, whilst isn't bad, it isn't really all that stand out, I'm getting a bit tired of the constant hallucinations.

    oops! U're completely right.


    In recent reading:

    Guardians of the Galaxy #5-#8: is this series great or what? Plenty of twists and turns and with great inter-team conflict that isn't so contrived. Love this title to bits.

    Birds of Prey #124-#125: Oracle gets payback. Sort of. Great book this is with lots of character insight. I loved the Joker appearance but the Green Arrow guest app was kind of annoying. Too much cavalry.

    Nova #18-#20: DnA continue to absolute hit it out of the park. This is a great title. Lots of great quiet moments combined with massive and loud fights and uber high stakes. I love this title heaps. It's probably elevated Nova into my top 10 favourite comic book characters on the writing alone. Alves is a good artist too but nowhere near as good as the others previously on. That doesn't matter though b/c the script more than makes up for it.

    Dynamo 5#17 Love this book. Great team and family dynamics. Continues to be great fun.

    Plenty of other stuff too but if I can't remember it, it clearly wasn't that great.

    Sigh Young X-Men got canceled. #12 was the final issue.

    I'm disappointed. The series was just settled. That and I'm going to miss the team. I was quite a fan of New X-Men/Academy X, I guess I still get to see Elixir in X-Force and Pixie and Uncanny X-Men but still.

    What really gets me is that we might not get to see more of the possible "future" of the team that was teased around with in #11 and #12.
