Answer #1 (Dark Horse)
A fairly straight forward first issue. Reminds me a bit of Archer & Armstrong for some reason. Nice art, ok story. Enough to make me want to read at least 3 or 4 issues.

Uncanny X-Force #1 (Marvel)
I’m starting to think this Sam Humphries guy can write a comic book! I didn’t think I’d really care to see what happens in a new arc of X-Force but now I want to. Great art, interesting first issue.

Young Avengers #1 (Marvel)
This isn’t really my book, I don’t connect with these characters a lot, but regardless of all that, this book is done so well you can’t help but enjoy it. I don’t know if I’ll stick with it in the long term, but I’m in for at least the first arc.

Bedlam #3 (Image)
In typical Nick Spencer fashion this book is a slow burn that keeps tugging me along. The art felt a little rushed in this issue but still really good, the story is unfolding and is more and more interesting with every issue

Ming MGMT #7 (Dark Horse)
This series is simply great. The art is incredible. There is so much to this story it’s impossible to say why you need to read it other than you do. If you haven’t been reading it start here, new arc, catches you up.
