I thought Titans East was pretty awesome, personally. Winick has his ups and downs but he seemed on his A-game with this one.

I loved House of M: Avengers...but you're right, I'm a huge Luke Cage fan. But you were a bit harsh...
And by the way, who would have ever thought slapping "Avengers" on the title of something as opposed to "X-Men" would make people pick up the book faster.

hey kirk
read booster gold and enjoyed it, and Fables was top notch this week.
I can't get into black adam since
world war III, I'm not into the God like powered characters. I'm waiting on Nova for the trade. Hey whats your opinion on the whole marvel digital comics library? I been looking at the sample pages and seeing some of the old kirby FF issues on zoom is pretty amazing.

To be honest, Jonathan, I was hoping Sodam would kill Prime too, but since he's here for good (or at least until Final Crisis), we have to put up with him and I've chosen to ignore my hatred of his snot nosed antics in favour of enjoying a plain old hero stomping that you can't get "in continuity" or on "our" Earth.

As for Darkseid, I think that was more an art problem. He doesn't look the least bit phased by the attack in the next panel.

And I think at this point its clear theres more to Mary's Black Adam powers then were being told because he's never had power like this or the random abilities she displays. Im hoping Black Adam is still out there and Eclipso or someone impersonated him and used that opportunity to corrupt her. I can dream cant I?

I also agree with New Avengers. It was very much a "meh" issue. Even Bendis' usual talking heads couldnt save that issue. Just holding back too much story that the delayed Mighty Avengers should have given us.

There were still a lot of great books though. If you're not reading All-Star Superman, Booster Gold, Black Adam or Nova, those are all excellent titles that are worth taking a look at. I know we all have differing opinions on some books, but I'm sure theres something released this week that could help salvage your week.

Countdown a must read. I read it off my friend as i do every countdown because i like to keep up with some of the DC universe stuff. But man i can't stand superman prime. I didn't enjoy him in infinite crisis, was hoping to God Sodam Yat was gonna kill him in Sinestro Corps war. Now we have killing planets. wonderful. Darkseid didn't seem like the awesome darkseid i have read in the past. Just can't express how much i didn't enjoy this book. Didn't really care for New Avengers this week either. WWH had a few good moments and i looking forwarding to some of the spinoffs. I still haven't read my fables this week, but so far its been a lackluster week for me.

It's hard to say Matthew. On the one hand, Sentry does hold his own with this plot armour, unbeatable Hulk they've got on display in WWH. On the other hand, as I said in my previous comment, he's kind of displayed almost like a villain drunk on power when it's supposed to be the Hulk trying to destroy all of New York.

So, if you just want to see him and Hulk thrash each other, you'll love it. If you hate seeing him written a bit out of character, then you might have issues with it. JRjr does an incredible job illustrating it, so I think you'll enjoy this on some level at the least.

You may know I'm basically the Sentry's biggest drooling fanboy, Kirk. Am I going to hate his portrayal in WWH5?

2007-11-14T22:33:00.000-04:00

@zeromus - I didn't pick up Titans East. None of the characters really appealed to me and Winnick was writing it if I'm not mistaken, which is a bit of a turn off. If you picked it up, let me know how it is. I was playing a wait and see approach with it, as it didn't really interest me based on solicits / previews.

Concering WWH - I find I'm a lot harder on bigger books when they don't deliver and WWH just didn't bring anything to the table with this conclusion.

It was just so predictable and they made Sentry look like a complete tool with his "drunk on power" display. If they wanted him to act like that, they should have just had him Void-out.

Add in delays and how all buzz and interest has pretty much died out and the issue appears much worse than it probably was. I still stand by my review of it, but agree it might have been a tad harsher than usual.

Just read WWH i also found it rather awful

it was just so anti-climatic

like there was so much potenial for a hulk/sentry fight but it was too forced of lets make everyone happy ending and in the end i think it makes no one happy

Where's Batman & The Outsiders and Titans East? :p

WWH #5 felt like something out of Dragon Ball Z to me. I don't think it was quite as bad as you claim, but yeah, the event seems to have been of little consequence, which is too bad.
