Spider-Man 602: The new (?) Chameleon is kind of gross.  And the ending is silly, because we know he’s not dead.

Marvels Project 01: Actually not bad, will see how it goes, maybe the trade will be interesting.

X-Men Forever 05: Claremont ups the drama a bit, mixing and mashing up Decimation/Legacy Virus and Dead @21…where oh where will he go with it?  This issue was definitely missing a few beats, such as anyone reacting to baby Storm….and how everyone is suddenly calling her ‘Ro (Gawd is that a Claremont-ism or what?).  The buddy-buddyness with Sabretooth isn’t working for me either.  And why haven’t his eyes healed yet, seriously?  I’m hanging on mostly out of Claremont loyalty.  X-treme X-men, aside from the name, was a genuinely good comic imho.  Of course, at least 40% of that was Larocca’s stellar un-inked pencils.  Still, I know CC’s got some magic left in him, so I’ll wait and see where this goes for a bit longer.

UC Avengers 1: Meh, over it.  Red Skull is Cap’s son now, *yawn*.  Next.

UC Spider-Man 1: Wow, I really didn’t like the art here like, at all.  It made it difficult for me to enjoy what I’m sure would have been a decent story otherwise.  6 months later and Peter and MJ are broken up, Kitty is still around the edges, and Peter is making out with Gwen who now lives with them?  WAIT.  Gwen died…right?  So, this is Gwen/Venom clone thing or something?  I forget.  Anyway, throw the artist out and you might have something.

Blackest Night 2: Not much happens here sadly.  People fight, and talk, but I didn’t see much progress.  And evidently fire won’t kill J’onn now – not that  GL & Flash were shy about “killing” J’onn again.  Seems a little out of character for all these shiny-happy heroes, but maybe not so much if they’re thinking it’s “just” a zombie.  Really can’t wait to find out how “death” fits into the emotional spectrum and what the White Lanterns are.  I mean, you can’t have black without white right?  Just seems silly.
