I suppressed my haul this week and limited myself to:
– AvX #5 – Great art in the Emma Frost/Thor fight
– Batman #11 – I kind of stopped caring. Ready for the Joker arc.
– Conan the Barbarian #6 – Good action, great art, story wrap up for the Messantia arc was a little so-so given the previous two strong issue.
– Dark Avanegers #3 – I am trying so hard to like this, but the dual D.Avengers/Thunderbolts plot is making it hard.

I’ve been COMPLETELY oblivious to the whole Versus series running concurrent with the main AvX. Apparently there is Avengers vs. X-Men AvX AND a Versus AvX. Way to make your crossover super easy to follow Marvel.
As for AvX #5…did I miss an issue or are you in the process of catching up?
I have thoughts on Batman 11 coming up.

By and large you are not missing anything. This was actually #4 now that I check, the Versus AvX books are monthly instead of bi-weekly. I have read them all, every week I say no more, but they are total junk food and equally hard to stop eating.
This one I had to get for Thor purposes.

How’s the Before Watchmen stuff? It looked interesting, but I just haven’t gotten up the nerve to invest in it … yet.

Didn’t care for Nite Owl at all but REALLY liked Ozymandias. Silk Spectre is decent, as is the Minutemen book. It might be worth holding off an picking & choosing between the collected editions.

Thanks! I’ll do that.

@Ryan: gotcha. Maybe I’ll just skim through them at the store rather than actually buying them.
