This Week In Comics (for July 19, 2006)

I would say 52 isn't any better or any worse than IC. I would say Teen Titans is the best thing DC is producing. I would say Nightwing has been messed up for quite some time and was almost fixed by Grayson, but she was curtailed by IC. I also hope JSA returns with glory.

I would say Ult. X-Men is too predictable. I would say Ult. Spider-Man is only slowly getting better, but really just seems like Bendis gets an idea and writes a story, not taking into account that the arcs just don't flow from one to the next and some disagree with other things within the Ultimate Universe. I would agree with you about Ultimates, though I am worried about Loeb picking up the title. To me, Runaways is too dull and uninspiring. Uncanny X-Men is the only running 616 X-Men title worth reading. I wouldn't get the other two even if they were free. Young Avengers might be a good title, if it would come out consistently.

I don't want to comment any more on Civil War until I read this week's issue. I haven't been reading Daredevil, mainly because I didn't like what Bendis did to the character.

Catching up on Batman is not a good idea right now, Zip. Well, unless you just plan on getting the most recent story arc that ran through Batman and Detective Comics. Grant Morrison is taking over the Batman mag and, from what I've seen, it looks like a mix of genius and insanity. Son of the Demon elements with ninja Man-Bats?!

Jam it back in, in the dark.
