This ep Hartley goes over Wolverine #67 "Old Man Logan" pt 2, Thunderbolts #122, Superman #678, Uncanny X-Men #500, Avengers the Initiative #15, and wraps things up with a review of the DMZ volume 1!
I have a couple of questions. Why do you think the Hulk is not involved in SI and also do you think that both avengers teams will unite after SI? I personally like the new avengers title better than the mighty title because of bendis and the little hints throughout. After SI is over I cant see the new avengers titles being exciting any more.
I think Magneto became a victim of Marvel's tendency to cry more nuanced villains with shades of grey. Looks how far he has come from wanting "to make homo sapiens bow to homo superior" to coming closer to Xavier's dream of peaceful coexistence... then back again. Then a holocaust survivor, a clone, so on and so on.
I've never been a big Superman reader, but between the current Atlas storyline (which I picked up from your recommendation) and the absolutely amazing recent Action Comics (Gary Frank is a God), I find myself warming up to the man of steel.

All in the pursuit of giving a character a title of their own!
I mean Venoms a good guy right?
Hell didn't Deadpool start off as a bad-guy?

Claremont is essentially incapable of new ideas now.
I mean how many stories with Roma, and the captain Britain Corps can a guy come up with?
Answer:
1, but the fucker will re-hash that single idea over and fucking over!
Pretty much every single Claremont story arc involves someone being taken over "body and soul"...
And to think he used to be one of comics best writers!
I've heard that his writing decent began with his cocaine habit!
And i"m not even kidding!

Thats pretty much what I have been doing of late at the end of segments.
I'll try to make it a more regular occurrence at the end of eps.
