Just some quick initial thoughts:

  *  I tried burying Fantastic Four #557 in there.
  *  Avengers Classic is ending at 12?
  *  Larry Stroman can't be back on X-Factor fast enough.  Some of the art is a tad inconsistent.
  *  Thank GAWD I can get back to enjoying Wolverine: Origins now that this Deadpool arc is hopefully over.
  *  X-Men: Divided We Stand Book 2 looks interesting.
  *  I like the art in Incredible Hercules.

Why is everyone hating on FF'nF so much?
How have the sales numbers been on Avengers Classic?
X-Factor is still freakin' great, though.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't digging this arc. I've dropped the book, now, though. It hasn't been telling any stories that feel like they need to be told. I don't feel like I'm coming away with a better appreciation or understanding of Wolverine. It seems more like, "hey, here's some extra stories if you want them"
Yeah, maybe but the whole tearing the X-men apart thing is getting old.
Hercules has been a fun read, but like I said on one of the other threads, Eric Larson has a God Squad team led   by Herakles in the pages of The Savage Dragon... I'm a little disappointed by Marvel on this one, and wondering If Larson is currently mad enough to kick a puppy through a fan on this one.

Boring.  Slow.  Borderless panels.  Lackluster art.  A smack in the face to those that have been enjoying the Fantastic Four since Waid and Wieringo and Kesel (talking about me here).  And a screeching halt to the fun that was the McDuffie and Pelletier and Magyar run that erased the JMS 'era' which also left a bad taste in my mouth after W, W, & K.

There is nothing going on that needs four issues to tell.  In all the FF stories I've read, this is a low point.  And that includes the DeFalco and Ryan issues.

But that's just me.

Have been declining steadily since the first issue (data as of #9).

Writing-wise?  Sure.

And I've been enjoying it more than the main Wolverine series most months.

When was the last time it was done?  By Brubaker or Carey?  Things get shaken up every so often.  I'm enjoying the ride and I haven't been into the X-Universe for some time prior to Messiah CompleX.

Maybe Pak and Van Lente are throwing a tribute.

Why is Tony Twist in Ultimate X-Men and why is he Russian?


But this image of Alpha Flight is pretty keen.


Except for Vindicator looking like a a pitchman for Pop-O-Matic Trouble.

I think the Hercules book looks really cool... I haven't read ay of those as of yet, as I'm waiting for the trade on this series, but I gotta say, I'm looking forward to it.

I also think Khoi Pham's art on the Mighty Avengers preview is awfully darn impressive...

I think Danny Miki's come a long, long way.  He has a recent history of making a few people look good.

David...is that Ultimate Alpha Flight?

If so, I may have to start buying Ultimate X-men again, at least while they're in the arc.
