Wow. This is a huge week here at the Revolution! All right, I have no clue how I’m going to be able to post reviews for all these comics this week. I’ll just have to pick which comics deserve reviews and which ones don’t.

Which Marvel titles am I most interested in reading? Civil War #3. Millar has this title cranking. Civil War is an exciting read and Civil War #3 is going to be a huge issue. We are in store for a massive brawl. I’m also looking forward to Uncanny X-Men #476. Brubaker has resurrected this title. And lastly, X-Factor #9. Peter David has done a masterful job on this highly underrated title.

Which Marvel titles am I least interested in reading? Nova #4. I love Nova and that is the only reason why I’m getting this mini-series. The art is terrible and the story has been average. Thankfully, this is the last issue.

Which DC titles am I most interest in reading? 52 #11. DC is doing a wonderful job with this title and it is consistently a solid read. Freedom Fighters #1. I enjoyed Battle for Bludhaven and am very curious about this new title. Lastly, Justice League of America #0. I cannot wait for this title’s re-launch. The JLA is the number one team of heroes that there is in comic books DC or Marvel.

Which DC title am I least interested in reading? Supergirl and the Legion of Super Heroes #20. This title is rapidly going nowhere. It is very sad to see this title continue to flail around in mediocrity.
