Yes, true believers, you're not dreaming or in some mad parallel universe, you can't keep a good blog down.
Having said that, I'm kinda disappointed with most of what I've been picking up lately. So, without further ado, some highs and lows.
Hit Titles
Scarlett - Only 2 issues in, I'm really liking this book by Bendis and the dude who drew Alias(Jessica Jones Alias, not Sydney Bristow) The main character, who is not from GIJoe, is a badass chick who has a hate on for crooked cops. Great art, and she talks to the reader!
Avengers Academy - This is a well written and drawn title featuring a group of young powered indiviuals who were (mostly) tortured by Norman Osborn during his reign of terror. The team has been assembled because they are the most likely candidates to go bad - which they find out in issue 1.
Kick Ass 2 - Romita's style works here and it looks like this will be as awesome as the last series. Not sure if this has been optioned for movie yet...
Secret Avengers - This is Steve Rodger's title and I like it. I'm not a huge Deadoato(sp) fan, but I like the story and the cast.
X-Men - Mutants vs. Vampires - not too bad. Good art, stroy is not too bad.
Miss Titles
Mighty Avengers - I think Romita needs to stop now. He's a young guy, so his ridiculous drop in art quality can only be attributed to greed/laziness/blow. I use to really like his style, but now it hurts my eyes. He's been on the down for quite a while now, but this is low.
Thor - boring / don't like the art
Cap - hate the back-up story and the Cap art is not the greatest. Make the Cap story longer!
That's all for now, how about you?
