Every week there's one stand out comic. Why not tell the world, or at least our community, what it is?
My vote (keep in mind this is last week): Captain America. but i have to say every single comic Marvel released this week was ground zero. They are upping their game as far as writing is concerned.

I can say that there are a few that I liked last week. But, there is one that stands out that was not so great. That's Punisher War Journal #18.
The writing wasn't bad at all. Matter of fact, I really liked the story. It was the art that bugged me. It looked so rushed that I couldn't pay attention to the story as much. I think the colors added to the effect, because there was red and blue everywhere. I'm not sure what it was, but it kind of irked me. I would have liked to read the story with a different artist, though...

Uggggh. I just read that Punisher yer talkin about and you are right. The art is totally distracting. The weird thing is Howard Chakin is the artist and I usually like his stuff ok. So maybe it IS the colorist because youre right the colors are waaayyyy over the top. It felt like I was drowning in blue. But if you go back and look at PWJ #16 with Delgado as the colorist Chakin's art works just fine. So youre probably right about the colorist(s). Last issue was just as bad. That being said the stories have been awesome, which is par for the course for this title. It's been consistently awesome the whole time.

Thunderbolts #119 was good. I've never read much of Warren Ellis' work. Turns out he's pretty good. Plus, I've always liked Mike Deodato's art. I think I remember his work from Spider-Man. Now I have to read the next one to see what Norman Osborn is going to do about the situation on Thunderbolts Mountain.
Kind of reminds me of a song I heard, "I ain't going down on Brokeback Mountain..." by the saddle sores.
To be as politically correct as possible, they are planning on releasing a movie called Brokeback Thunderbolts Mountain, by the way. Venom and Osborn take a trip into the wilderness with nothing to do but rustle cattle...and go skinny dipping. Osborn finds he has a talent for spanking...and, Venom learns to yodel classic love songs such as "Let's get it on"...
Why did I have to write that? Now I feel kind of sick...

If it makes you feel any better the image of Osbourne spanking Venom in a sexual way (or any way for that matter) makes me ill too. In fact, I would hope it would make everyone sick. The fact it came from yer mind and not mine is the only plus I can walk away with hahahaha.
Thunderbolts is freakin' awesome and has been forever. I love that book. Brilliant writing. And its ties to Initiative is intriguing. Since Civil War it's been good, even though they changed the direction of it. But in a good way as long as they answer a few questions (Zemo).
It's really picking up now, what with the the whole Skrull Invasion. Can't wait to see how it plays out.
I said it on this forum once, and ill say it again, Zemo is awesome and I miss him on the Thunderbolts. So I hope he makes a major, heroic comeback during the Skrull-war. The story is ripe for his return.
And dammit he better not be a Skrull.
