Sledgehammer 44 #01 (Dark Horse)
This sucked me in. Iron Man in WWII? Or Maybe Atomic Robo minus the humor? Not a ton to go on in this first issue, cool art, intriguing premise.
Rating: BUY IT
Age of Ultron #2 (Marvel)
We are getting into lots of talking heads panels in this issue, not a ton of action. Some stunning art though, and we’re getting (I think) some more of whats going on in this event? Either way I didn’t love it but it does make me want to read more.

Buddy Cops #1 (Dark Horse)
This was hilarious. I shouldn’t have loved this as much as I did. Silly jokes, basic premise. Funny funny funny. Totally worth getting.

Wolverine #1 (Marvel)
I think if you are dying for a Wolverine standalone book you will be excited to have this series going. Personally I get enough Wolverine in pretty much every book out there so I’m not. This didn’t make me want more, but it’s good for the fans.

If you haven’t been reading MP you are a fool. Regardless, pick this issue up, it can be read stand alone. Fill-in artist Ryan Browne does an amazing job.

Why no mention of Nowhere Men?! Its the cock-teasiest comic on the shelf. Its gloriously written, very enthralling, and has fuck-all hint to what its really about. Four issues in and its still gripping and confusing as issue one. Please cover issue 5, I think this comic will be one that will hit a watershed issue and in retrospect many people will be pissed they’ve been missing out.
