This Week In Comics (for April 26, 2006)

You're not getting Previews?!

Should I comment on some of what you're ordering? I will assume that this is the purpose of this thread, mainly because I don't have the luxury of waiting to find out.

Batman is a decent issue. I have a couple of problems with it, but to explain, I'd have to use more time.

Although I did not actually pick up Amazing Spider-Man, I will assume that it is much like it has been. I'm sure it's a nice Civil War lead-in and all, but I don't really see it being worth it in the long run.

Astonishing X-Men is an utter mess. I had such hopes for this run on the X-Men when the team took the mag at issue #1. But with this bi-monthly second year, they have destroyed the enjoyability of the mag that started our so great.

Fantastic Four is a nice read. To me, too little happens to make buying the mag really worthwhile...though I wish we could have known that sooner.

And Ultimate Fantastic Four is just a mess. There are some good moments, but as a whole, the story doesn't really work.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't know, but DC even included it in that "other notable comics this week" right under Didio's column. What I would assume is that it was some somehow delayed last minute and no one has gotten around to telling anyone else. I'd have to check CBR to be sure, but I don't have time for that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
