Sam Comic Reviews

While there are many reasons I love this book, the few issues I have with it so far are more nitpicks than anything else. One of the major questions that still hasn't been really dignified with a straight answer is how these stories affect the 616 continuity. While they are canon it seems to ignore past stories like "The Thanos Imperative" which is more then a little confusing for some of us Marvel U buffs. But none of the things that confuse me are going to stop me reading this enjoyable romp through the Marvel U, at least not yet.

So we say goodbye to Zeb Wells, Congrats on 50 Amazing years Spidey, and next issue welcome Kevin Shinik and Aaron Kuder! Also the Merc with a Mouth visits our Avenging Neighborhood Spider-Man!

These are the silly fun comics that don't exist in a vacuum but because of the hard work of a dedicated few, and I can't wait for more.

While none of those questions really have an answer this month maybe they will next month, or maybe the Architects at the House of Ideas will give us something new. But for now, all I can do is sit and wait, and cry a little inside as the wasted potential of some brilliant characters goes softly into the night.

Where will Wolverine and the X-Men end up after AvX? I am content to sit back and enjoy the ride as long as Jason Aaron is driving.
