Amazing Spider-Man #584
Cheesy dialogue between supervillains about the importance of voting, a dated 90′s Alannis Morrisette joke, and a lackluster reveal about Menace’s ID (Harry Osborne) and the ID of the Spider Tracer Killer. The book needs a serious revamp and a steady creative team. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains. Leave it on the Rack.
Astonishing X-Men #28
A lot of up close shots and splash page artwork with limited backgrounds this issue. The X-Men take on some chameleon mutants who are working with Forge. Interesting development. 3 out of 5 X-Men. If you need to cut Back.
Mighty Avengers #21 Dark Reign
With the help of the Scarlet Witch, Hank Pym assembles the new Mighty Avengers team of Hulk, Hercules, Amadeus Cho, U S Agent, Vision and Stature. Slow moving issue at first, but an interesting reveal at the end. 3 out of 5 New Avengers.
If you need to cut Back.
Uncanny X-Men Annual #2 Dark Reign
