newnumber6This week I bought:
Birds of Prey #63 (good)
Daredevil #56 (enjoyable, but I get annoyed at how Daredevil's probably out of continuity now, on account of stuff that happens here)
Exiles #41 (Actually the best issue of Exiles in quite a while, a solo story about Nocture, written by her creator. Great peek at a 'gimmick-less' alternate history)
New X-Men #152 (Okay, but not even all that impressive as an alternate future)
Outsiders #8 (Pretty good)
Robin #122 (An improvement over the lackluster first issue I read last time)
Runaways #10 (A disappointment for the title, still better than a lot of books though)
Uncanny X-Men #438 (not bad, but we _get_ that it's a Shakespeare take off already, thanks, you don't need to hammer the point home)
The Unfunnies #1 (Ehh. Being a MU*er depraved stuff happening with classic cartoon/comic heros (or in this case, take offs of hanna-barbara style comics) can't _shock_ me anymore, but it doesn't really entertain me. The high concept is interesting, the execution isn't all that great. If you like cartoon characters murdering each other or forced into prostitution, you might like it)
Also had a gyro.. (mmm, gyro).
Oh, and a little bit of comic news. Marvel's announced that X-Treme X-Men will indeed end in April. It will be replaced, in May, with a new Exaclibur series by Claremont. I expect some character crossover, but no specific word on them has been announced.
