This week in comics. (for March 1)

Ok, I figured I needed to get a post somewhere, so I picked here. Who knows. Maybe this thread can even start a weekly tradition for people to continue. Maybe it already was a tradition with the old boards before they died. Who knows.

But basically, just post what you think is interesting, good, bad, or otherwise about this week's comics. Remember to use spoiler tags when necessary.

All I've read this week has been Red Sonja and Red Sonja vs. Thulsa Doom, so I've not much to say about this week yet. I just kinda have to wonder why I buy those two titles and then I remember, 'Oh right. T&A'. I probably will be dropping Red Sonja soon, though. Not much is going to change. She's always going to have a sword, she's always going to kill some people, and she's always going to be half-naked.

I'm looking forward to reading Y The Last Man, and Ultimates for this week though. Man, oh man.

Btw, sorry if my week's are wrong. I only pick up comics every other week. =\

EDIT: Just finished reading Ultimates Volume 2 Issue 10. All I have to say is damn this is a good book. I just wish it came out more regularly. Freakin' hardcore pwnage going on from the middle to the end.

Adjectiveless X-Men #183 was an interesting read, but it all seems very forced with this Apocalypse story. I feel like I'm being told I should care about something, but I end up thinking "Wow, this is contrived". Maybe it's just cause it's an X-Men book, though.

Knights of the Old Republic #2 - This book is very good so far. It's intriguing, and defintely worth reading. The current story is dealing with a gimp padawan who stumbles into a situation involving some Jedi masters.

Astonishing X-Men #13 - This is one of the few X-Men books that constantly delivers. This issue gives more into Emma and her possible infiltration of the X-Men.

Exiles #77 - I really liked this book back in the day, and it's still very readable. But I can't help but feel like it's all being drawn out just to try and get it to issue 100. This issue is fairly typical. We get to see Hyperion... aaaaggaaaaain. I actually think this book has him in it more than Supreme Power. ...I also feel like this book is going to sink like a ship full of melodrama once Claremont gets on it. But that's an idea worthy of another thread.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I had actually forgotten about that arc. And yeah, I kinda wish I could have kept it that way. Was an interesting concept, though. Just not crafted as well as the previous arcs in Astonishing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm sure we'll get some half-assed explanation later. I mean, just look at Amazing Spider-Man. They took a whole page to explain how Mary Jane's arm was "unbroken" in The Other story arc. That was high class...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, I laughed at the cheesiness of it, but they could have completely left it out, imo. Just my opinion, though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
