Dish's Stack is where i talk about the comics i will be buying this week! Judge my taste all you like, but that's what this is! I will normally focus on my thoughts of previous issues and possible developments, but nevertheless be wary of minor (or possibly major) spoilers if you do not keep very up-to-date with series or previews, but I'll do my best not to reveal anything too surprising.
Amazing Spider-Man #674
In the first issue after the conclusion of the Spider Island event Spider-Man finds his first enemy has returned! A beefed-up, spider-sensed, Kung-Fu'd Spidey will clearly be a match for anything coming his way in the new arc; and with the Sinister Six also returning in the coming months, he's going to need every power in his arsenal. Hopefully he won't be suffering from a Spider Island hangover!
Fear Itself #7.3 (Iron Man)
I found the Fear Itself mega-event quite disspointing for my first universe-wide shake-up, and the first 2 of the epilogues left me feeling similarly, bar the surprise twist or two. I am pretty much only getting this issue to complete my 'Fear Itself' set, having not collected the Iron Man tie-ins, but maybe this final issue can
provide some closure that has been missing thus far.
Fear Itself: The Fearless #3
The main event may have been dissapointing, but this aftermath mini-series has so far has been really quite good. The first 2 issues set up the premise nicely and teased an exciting battle to come in this week's comic. Very much looking forward to what is to come from this story.
The Punisher #5
I have been reading rave reviews about this new Punisher series, but personally i have found it lacking something.. It is by no means bad, and is in no danger of being dropped from my 'To Buy' list, but I'm clearly not enjoying it as much as a lot of people. The conclusion of the current arc, or the commencing of the new one may make me feel differently, and I would love to look forward to this series as much as i do Daredevil or the Spider-Man comics.
Thunderbolts #165
Being transported back in time was a very neat twist at the end of the Thunderbolts' 'Fear Itself' tie-ins, and the potential paradox the T-Bolts are trying to avoid in this week's issue is a very nice link to their past. The arc apparently finishes in this comic, and i can't wait to see how the team returns to their 'status quo'.
Venom #9
Another series returning after the events of Spider-Island and Flash Thompson has a lot to deal with in the aftermath. I have been really enjoying these comics, and the news of a mini-event of its own in the new year
showed the faith marvel is giving this relatively new series, while others starting around the same time (Herc, Iron Man 2.0) have been given the sack. I'm sure the series will continue to justify this faith.
Batman #3
One of the better of the Batman series starting in the 'New 52', this comic has an interesting mystery that is as related to Bruce Wayne as it is the Batman. Only being 2 issues in so far, it is difficult to tell how good this series is going to be in the long run, but i would wager this third issue will be a great indicator of future quality.
Justice League #3
If this issue is as much of a step-up from the second as that was from the first, this is going to be a very good comic. The staggered introduction of the heroes was probably wise, but the sooner the team is taking on threats only their combined might can hope to defeat, the better. Being the flagship of the New 52 im sure the series is going to continue to build on the relatively disappointing first issue.
