~creeps into the bendis action days later~
age of ultron was miserable, i made it two issues and i read for free thanks to work, so i can only imagine how i'd feel if i had paid for them. HOWEVER bendis is writing both the uncanny and all-new x-men books right now and they have both been spectacular (especially uncanny, fraser irving+ilyana woop). i think the problem is more the amount of editorial involvement in those big dumb event books.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, BATTLING BOY
if you have not heard about this book, paul pope has been talking about it since 2006 and has stated that it will include a 50-page fight scene. it's also about a 12-year old boy beating up monsters so basically it's perfect for all you voiders out there. my shop just got an advance copy of part 1. i'm not allowed to post interiors because i would like to continue reading advance copies of this stuff, but there it is in all its advance copy glory!
some things it includes:
pretty colors, animal shirts that give the wearer the animal's attributes, a taxi-eating monster, a dude that bears a striking resemblance to thor, mummy vampire ghouls, futuristic technology, social commentary(?), MURDER
so basically it's awesome and comes out this october, watch for it
