(S-1 emerges from the hazy, darkened doorway, smoking gun in hand, and exhales slowly as he hands me a brown manila envelope.  He glances briefly over his shoulder, nods at me silently, and then backs away, all but disappearing into the shadowy world he inhabits.)

Age of Ultron #9 (Marvel) – We’re getting close to the grand finale of this Marvel Event, as time travelling heroes and the chaos that they’ve created all looks ripe to come to a head.  We’ve been told the events of AoU will have a lasting effect on the Marvel Universe…and my gut tells me for one they aren’t lying.  While maybe not the blockbuster it was looking like it might be early on, this event has been very solid throughout, and could still end up near the top of ‘best event’ lists when it’s all said and done.

Indestructible Hulk #9 (Marvel) – While I’ve been impressed with Indestructible Hulk so far, I haven’t fully jumped on the bandwagon. However, if we keep getting awesome 3-4 issue stories like this Waid/Simonson Hulk/Thor team up, I’m in for the long term. Seriously, if you can, grab issues #7, 8 & 9 and relive the good old days of superhero comics…only it looks 10 times better than it did back then. Hulk Smash indeed!

Avengers #12 (Marvel) – Avengers in the Savage Land.  What else do you need to know?  Jonathan Hickman’s alt Avengers book seems to finally be catching on with readers after a lot of moaning about the cast of characters populating this book.  Last issues casino trip issue, along with the coming on the Infinity Event seems to have finally swayed people into giving this book the credit its due.  It’s the same old story when it comes to Hickman.  They want instant gratification, or want to be able to figure out where the story is going, and that’s just not how he writes…but the payoff in the end with a Hickman book is always well worth the wait…and Avengers looks like no exception.

 Age of Ultron #8 (Marvel) – We’re nearing the end of the line when it comes to Age of Ultron, and things are about to get interesting.  Angela is due to make her Marvel debut shortly, so collectors will probably be out in full force gobbling up issues…not to mention those of you who have been following from the beginning…or have just recently jumped on.  I’ve been quite impressed with the goings on, and have a feeling that Marvel may finally have a payoff to an event that lives up to the hype.

Batman #20 (D.C.) – 19 issues in, and Batman continues to be one of the most popular books on the shelves…selling on average 150,000 copies a month.  Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo have crafted a dark, intricate, slightly twisted series that has Bruce facing demons and enemies (Court of Owls, The Joker) that are taking him to his limit.  Now, with the upcoming ‘Zero Year’ on the horizon, Batman faces off with one of my all-time favourite villains, Clayface.  I can’t wait to see how the shapeshifter tests The Dark Knight!
