Well, I so loved the scans I took last week that this week's reviews are nothing but scans! This takes me less time and is probably a more useful review than I could type, anyways. They are under spoiler tags not only to reduce scrolling but also because you will indeed be seeing interior pages.
the Amazing Spider-Man #540 (marvel)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. (Straczynski/ Garney)
DMZ #19 (vertigo/dc)
Current story arc Friendly Fire is catching my interest again. The scans are both of pages by Nathan Fox, who is joining the original creative team to draw the flashback pages for this arc.
REALLY GOOD. (B. Wood/ Burchielli & Fox)
the Immortal Iron Fist #5 (marvel)
One of my favorite new series.
GREAT. (Brubaker & Fraction/ Aja & Foreman)
Invincible #41 (image)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. (Kirkman/ Ottley)
Jack of Fables #10 (vertigo/ dc)
PRETTY GOOD. (Willingham & Sturges/ Akins)
New Avengers #30 (marvel)
REALLY GOOD. (Bendis/ Yu)
Punisher War Journal #8 (marvel)
NOT BAD. (Fraction/ Olivetti)
Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four #2 of 4 (marvel)
GREAT. (Parker/ Weiringo)
Tales of the Unexpected #8 of 8 (dc)
The scan is from the back-up feature, Dr. 13. It turned out to be better than the main story, and if it gets trade paperback treatment I am going to cram it down your throat.
GREAT. (main- Lapham/ Battle; backup- Azzarello/ Chiang)
Thunderbolts #114 (marvel)
Venom is getting larger by the second. He's like Hulk-sized by now. This scan isn't even the biggest he looks in this issue, I just liked this page better.
PRETTY GOOD. (Ellis/ Deodato)
