Skitch Commentary: – DC’s third week is a great week of comics. Batman, Nightwing, Catwoman are all among my favorite relaunch series. Green Lantern Corps, Birds of Prey, and Red Hood have also been excellent, though I typically get those a month after release.

-Add in THUNDER Agents and Young Justice, and you have a real “beat up on Skitch’s wallet” festival!

– Nice to see DC is still releasing Secret Six trades. It sucks that the series ended, but at least DC is still showing support for it.

– I am curious how the first arc of DCU Presents ends, but definitely waiting a month to buy it. That and Blue Beetle just haven’t been “great” enough for me to keep spending 3 bucks an issue.

Grey Commentary: – Amazing Spidey has our favorite wall crawler with 12 hours to save New York from the future. Sound awesome? It will be! Dan Slott so far can do no wrong on Spidey!

– Avenging Spidey brings up my second favorite Spidey writer in Zeb Wells as the first arc with Joe Mad on art comes to a close. Spidey and Rulk versus Super Moloids!

– Daredevil is part two of the story that began in Amazing Spidey last week, and it’s Mark Waid writing Daredevil. You should be reading this. Everyone should be reading this.

– Looks kids, Superior is finally ending!

– Another issue of Uncanny? I want to complain, but really, I can’t. X-Men or X-Force, both are good enough that I actually don’t mind Marvel dishing them out two to three times a month. I just wish they’d go $2.99 if the book is out that often.

Skitch Commentary: I actually WILL complain about that. I’ve been loving Amazing Spider-Man, but paying 4 dollars for a comic two weeks in a row is just painful to the wallet. Marvel has no respect for comic readers with limited budget!

– Daredevil has been terrific, really looking forward to this issue…though DD hasn’t been available digitally yet, which is kind of the suck.

-Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #6 is probably going to be the best comic I read this week. It’s just been a terrific series, and #5 really put the series in a great place. Definitely can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

– Wow, three Marvel books! That is more than I’ve bought from Marvel at one time in a very long time!
