The worst thing about it is that now that I'm working pretty much full time, my comic collection is growing out of control, like an unmowed lawn! I haven't had the time to index or put anything away, so I have huge piles of comics laying around my bedroom and living room... I not only need a light comic week, I need a few days off from work to catch up on my coomic book work!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-68237911886723046252012-03-30T20:06:54.270-04:002012-03-30T20:06:54.270-04:00Lol, a light week for you?!

I KNOW I'm going to be adding a mess of AvX books in the coming weeks, so I'm just not sure if this series is worth picking up... Especially at $4 a pop. But the fact that the both of you are so high on it does have me leaning towards getting it... Hmm, it's something I'll have to think on leading up to Wednesday.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-83650656052399134462012-03-30T16:51:04.602-04:002012-03-30T16:51:04.602-04:00I definitely agree with JW, X you should pick up S...I definitely agree with JW, X you should pick up Scarlet Spider, it's been really good and it's much better than Red Hood, Teen Titans and a bunch of the other DC books you pick up currently, hell if I had to compare this to anything It would be the first few issues of Venom.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-20165372445017927002012-03-30T11:25:01.433-04:002012-03-30T11:25:01.433-04:00Totally agree, JT.

Just that I didn't have anything against the writer! It's not like he killed several characters I really liked in several consecutive comic books or anything...

And for YOUR information, I like the Grifter character and have nothing against the writer of Grifter... As for Superboy... Um... Yeah, you've got me there... :P<br /><br />So this one ended with Kaine living with the girl he saved last issue... That's... different... I'm not sure how I feel about that actually. I guess she'll be a device used to humanize Kaine, but I'd think that could be done via Kaine's actions. Anyway, great review, and I'll be keeping my eyes on what you have to say about this series. If I decide to expand my pull list(which I CAN do if I want now!), this one may get the call.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-71705583956610031622012-02-11T23:48:56.719-05:002012-02-11T23:48:56.719-05:00I'd recommend this one, I mean it's still ...I'd recommend this one, I mean it's still early so if ya waited a bit I wouldn't blame you, but the first two issues have been pretty enjoyable.
