Best From The Past Week: Daredevil #1 – This was easy. Daredevil #1 managed to feel totally fresh, while also a nostalgic throwback that encapsulates everything that a Daredevil comic should be. If you’ve ever been even remotely curious about Daredevil, I’ll say it again: buy this book!
Most Anticipated: Amazing Spider-Man #666 – That was tough, as there’s so much to look forward to this week. You get the second issue of the surprisingly excellent X-Men: Schism event, the final issue of Secret Warriors, the first issue of the Brubaker penned, and the WWII ongoing Captain America and Bucky. Then there’s perennial favourites like Detective Comics, American Vampire, Criminal, FF, and Mighty Thor.
But I’ll go with ASM. I’ve enjoyed Dan Slott’s run thus far, but it’s felt like ASM has been treading water the past few months, waiting for Spider-Island to begin. It’s been frustrating at times, but it’s also heightened my anticipation. Now, here we are, and I can’t wait to see the show on the road.
Other Picks: Captain America and Bucky #620, X-Men: Schism #2, Detective Comics #880, American Vampire #17, Mighty Thor #4, Criminal: Last of the Innocent #2, Secret Warriors #28, FF #7
