I dropped this quite awhile ago.  Did it get any better?

INGLORIOUS X-FORCE #2 - Good progress. Eliminated one suspect and moving on to the next.

IRON MAN #2 - Still on the fence with this one but I'll be back for next issue.

PSYLOCKE: NINJA #2 (OF 5) - Psylocke vs Electra. Great issue. Great fight scenes.  Reminded me of the Frank Miller Dare Devil days.

ULTIMATES #21 - Oh yeah - that was pretty good.  A lot of fun watching the ultimate Defenders come into play. Very nice twists.

I took a break during the last arc, but picked up last month's issue. It's in the present and focuses on the Spectre.

I'm moving slow this week but hopefully will make faster progress starting after work.

PUNISHER #1 - I liked this issue. A flawed Punisher and the remake of an old villain. Feels new for a change.

ROGUE #2 (OF 5) - decent enough issue  with Rogues powers going haywire.  Coming back for more.

Perry

Late as hell with this list, and now, as I am so late, I am sure I am forgetting something, HA, but I will add if I do remember something I forgot.

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

2000AD -
    Judge Dredd - Not the best, but loved the magnetic glove... problem  ;D
    Herne & Shuck - Ha, of course. One more to go? Maybe? Sadly? I do really like this one
    Brink - Soooo lost. I did see where this is being collected. I think, with all the characters, I need to read it that way.
    The Discarded - Still great looking panels, but I am still not reading it. Maybe I will try again at some point? Looks great
 
Conan - I am really dug the last arc (because of the origin style), but these two issues, starting a new arc has this new character (at least new to me) that is pretty wild.

Rook - I know it started a couple issues ago, but yes, this is really starting to find it's feet (this and Geiger). Good creepy stuff here!

Ex. Corpses - Passed on this when I heard what this book was about, but I think I may have misheard or at the very least misinterpreted what one of my podcasts said this book was about. Jeff liked it, which shocked the hell out of me at the time (again, I was thinking it was something different), so I decided to try. Pretty damn cool. Each chapter co-written and drawn by different talent, so that is also kind of cool.

Abs. Supes - Decent enough issue, and though I have never... ever, ever... been a fan of Steel, I liked him here.

King Shazam

I could give or take though.

Ultimates - May have been my favorite issue of this title, but I am sure recency bias is a part of that.
Spoiler
Loved evil Cannonball here
[close]

Punisher - Enjoyed this a lot. Looking forward to more of this, and that is odd to say about Punisher, with Punisher just being Punisher again, and not a figurehead for The Hand, which is the last book I think I enjoyed with him. Sure, give me some street level Frank

Iron Man - I liked this better than issue one, so I am hoping that trend continues!

Infernal Hulk - Really enjoyed seeing... all the... yeah, you know,
Spoiler
the different Hulk personas
[close]
. And sure, it's been done before, a lot, but that takes nothing away from this issue!

I'm all caught up! ON everything! I'm still here! I read... alot! But sometimes typing on the weekend is the last thing I want to do! :D
