Welcome to the Weekly Marvel Comics Review Thread!

Every week we'll put up a "sticky" thread like this one so people can review and discuss the current weeks Marvel comics.

The threads will stay at the top of the Marvel Comics forum from Wednesday afternoon until the next Wednesday morning, after which time they'll be "unstuck" and return to their chronological spot in the forum, to be replaced by the current week's thread. Each thread will be marked with the ! icon.

Get it.

Read it.

Then go to this thread to talk about it.

What about the new JSA story arc?

OK going right now to the store.

It looks like they are talking about it over on the DC Comics Forum.

Wouldn't that be in the DC weekly comic thread?

Wow! Is it me or has nobody been picking up comics anymore?

Oh well. Might as well do the first few reviews.

P.S.I try my best to not reveal spoilers and if I do it'll be a little one. Thanks.

Ultimate Spider-Man 46

To start this is a past story. Remember the time where Spidey KOed Kraven w/one punch? Well this issue continues it. It shows that Red Head SHIELD Agent talking to some guy telling him her story. When she goes to a lab she sees these guys. These guys have this one guy in a prison who happens to be a classic Spidey villian! His name is.......NO I AM NOT GONNA TELL YOU THE VILLIAN! Go get the comic! There really isn't much to this story. Spidey tries to kick this mystery vllians arse but he doesn't. The villian gets away. Now you gotta remember. This was about 20 issues ago so who knows where this guy is now. Thats really the story. The ironic thing is that after reading last months issue you'd think they would start a brand new story arc. I guess this is a one shot and they will start the story arc next issue.

Overall it was okay compared to the other USM issues.

Art-10/10 [Bagleys art is always perfect]
Story-7/10 [Like I said. Its okay but when you compare it to other USM storys it just doesn't level up]
Overall-8.5 [Go buy it. You like it. Especially the mystery villian!]

Emma Frost 3

Okay. This months EFs cover is as revealing as the last two. But heres the secret.......SEX SELLS!!!!! That is why they are having Greg Horn draw a cover like that every issue. But aside from the cover it was a great issue. If you have been reading this comic you would know that some ##### has been messing w/Emma. So guess what! She leaves the school this issue! Great for Emma right? You darn right its great! She has been pretty popular now and then something kinda happens......Read the issue and find out. Its VERY shocking.

Overall great issue. Can't wait for next months.

Art-9 [Not bad. Infact awesome!]
Story-8[I have been entertained more by other comics but this was pretty good still]
Overall-8.5 [Great]

Ultimate X-Men 37

This was a great issue. Daredevil, Spidey and Wolvie in one comic equals massive fun! It was awesome the way Daredevil just like kicked all those mutant hunter arses. Spidey has a little bit of a sickening moment where he see's Wolverine healing. Wolverine DD and Spidey were just really fighting alot in this issue and talking. But at the end a very special group shows up and they are..........OH C'MON! YOU THINK IM GONNA TELL YA?! PAY THE $2.25!

Overall not bad.

Art-9 [Pretty good.]
Story-9 [Pretty good]
Overall-9 [What do you think?!]

Those are the comics I read this week. I really hope you enjoyed my reviews. It was a great time killer of 15 minutes!

Thanks!

Is it just me or has the avengers moved to the ultimates schedule?

Tell me about it.

I think the Avengers staff themselves must have been infected with the Red Zone virus.

Okay, that was bad, I apologize

Yeah, I wish the Ulitmates would come out on a regular basis.

heh actually when y ou get paid every two weeks the second week gets kinda dicey. Anyhow i 'll pick up my stack tommarrow or saturday. Anyhow two questions a: dc wise whats out this week, b: has the marvel universe book guide to the avengers been released? thanks BJ.

Check the DC thread for your answers. Also, I don't think that the Avenger guide has been released yet.

No specific graphic novels were known to be released.

Unless my store lies to me Avengers 71 did not come out this week, in fact I haven't seen Avengers 70 yet.

Sorry, I don't read Avengers right now. Those were taken from the Marvel Website. My understanding from my store, is that Marvel releases are usually later than when they are supposed to be.
