X-Books - Okay, not listing separately as there is truly only one story going on, with different titles and explanations. Not going to spoil anything here, but other than Duggan, I am enjoying what is going on. Now, I am not 100% sure I get the end game, but I THINK I can see one thing that seems obvious with a certain leader and what he is trying. I don't know the "how", but with his actions... yeah, I can see the "why". Or at least I think I can, it is a lot to take in.

Resurrection of Magneto 4 - I wish the other issues would have been like this one. It would have been a much better series. But at least it finished with a strong last issue.

Wolverine 47 & 48 - Not sure what I think with that last page in issue 48 but overall, still a solidly fun series.  Only two issues left and they promise to be action packed.

AND SENSATION SHE-HULK 6 -GREAT ISSUE!!!! A great read to me!!

She is getting cancelled again with issue #10. No reboot expected, but making her a staple in the Avengers.

Sigh...OH well...she's just not a book that's meant to last....

I'll check out volume7 whenever that one gets published too....

[Gay Titan]

To be fair, how many times is Marvel going to reboot Scarlet Witch?

Avengers Twilight 4 - Still fun and I like that it's rolling towards a big ending.  Interesting concepts as to what has happened to everyone and I love that the main villain is someone I believe could orchestrate this.

Dead X-Men 4
Fall of the House of X 4
Rise of the Powers of X 4
X-Men: Forever 2

Like others have said, these four X-books are all part of one big story.  Rise and Forever are the better two just because of Gillens writing and character development.  Really loving how the Quiet Council is coming back together and looking forward to how this all ends.

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern 6 - Ok end to an ok book. Does make me wish we'd get a consistent JSA book though.

Green Lantern: War Journal 9 - Liked the history of the Darkstars and the action back home with the protective constructs.  Good action in this story.

Superman 14 - the plot we all really knew already comes to fruition.  Best part for me is seeing

Blue Book Vol 1: 1961 (Collects issues 1-5) - Excellent book! It's the retelling of a true couple from 1961 who told of an incredible experience. Well written and great empathy building for these characters.  A Jeffro Recommendation.

*****************************************

Avengers Twilight - Enjoyed it. Not much more to say, being early days in a 12 issue run, but things are good! Acuna's art was pretty tight this issue as well!!

Geiger - I just don't see me getting through this weeks list, so why not add another issue?  But hey, this is good stuff, that's why   Love how

Spoiler

they showed us that all three titles (four characters) by Johns are tied together, universally, although they only tied in three of the four here... ever so briefly  Seeing Simon talk to Joe was a nice, very short, touch. And of course, with what I am dealing with currently, the last panel was perfect timing

Batman: Dark Age 1 & 2 - Nice Elseworlds type story. I like the reveal of the main villain.  Unexpected but adds a whole new twist to the origin story.  I'm liking this.
