Adventure Time Annual 2014 (BOOM!/kaboom!)

Adventure Time Annual 2014 was cute. Could have been a Fionna & Cake Special though. pic.twitter.com/6fPmea7Imf

Amazing Spider-Man #1 (Marvel Comics)

ASM #1 fun issue. What you would expect. I only bought 5 of the variants. pic.twitter.com/QIm1s6yMtQ

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Amazing Spider-Man #1: The main story does little to sell the "Amazing" return of Parker. The back-ups are more interesting.

— Daniel Cole (@gizmo151183) April 30, 2014

I hope @DanSlott never stops writing Spider-Man All the stories in Amazing Spider-Man were good but Im excited to see whats coming for Peter

— chris hogan (@unlikelynerd) April 30, 2014

I foolishly bought Amazing Spider-Man #1, forgetting how I hate Humberto Ramos's art. Is this character 10 yrs old? pic.twitter.com/HH3hcfN9cH

— Jason Sacks (@jasonsacks) May 1, 2014

Though the Spider-Man 2099 preview in ASM was intriguing and fun. This one will go on my pull list. http://comicsbulletin.com/main/sites/default/files/reviews/images/1405/asm2.jpg

All New X-Men #26 (Marvel Comics)

Really good issue of All New X-Men this week. Plus the art. Whew! pic.twitter.com/Ho3hY062Un

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Really like how @BRIANMBENDIS is having All New X-Men make its own history instead of relying on the past #26 was another really great issue

Archer Coe and the Thousand Natural Shocks #7 (Monkeybrain)

Archer Coe #7: Archer sure has gotten himself into one helluva mess! pic.twitter.com/PbaXI5AJeF

Avengers #28 (Marvel Comics)

So much to say about this weeks Avengers. Holy man. wow. pic.twitter.com/A6ws8u1J1N

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

Avengers A.I. #12 (Marvel Comics)

Sad to see Avengers AI end but I loved the ride while it lasted. pic.twitter.com/DoqUlAn7WY

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Avengers World #5 (Marvel Comics)

Solid issue of Avengers World. All these avengers books matter to each other, I love it. pic.twitter.com/Di7gyjM1gH

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Batman Eternal #4 (DC Comics)

Batman Eternal was fantastic again! SOME people are really missing out on a great, great Batman story by not reading it. Seriously

— chris hogan (@unlikelynerd) April 30, 2014

Blackout #2 (Dark Horse Comics)

Blackout #2: this is really gettin' good! Touch of conspiratorial paranoia, corporate baddies & suit malfunctioning pic.twitter.com/S0exOpLb4F

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) May 1, 2014

Black Science #6 (Image Comics)

Yes to every issue of Black Science. I cant get enough of this book. pic.twitter.com/Z0cEvZuBbO

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

Black Science #6: this is getting really crazy & intense! One of my favorite series! pic.twitter.com/lMqW9Jg4cd

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) May 1, 2014

Deadly Class #4 (Image Comics)

Really enjoying Deadly Class. Stunning art. Compelling characters. pic.twitter.com/CyIxxvemqX

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

Dream Police #1 (Image Comics)

Dream Police #1: JMS does little to entice you back. Half baked ideas married with Kotian's mediocre artwork.

— Daniel Cole (@gizmo151183) April 30, 2014

EGOS #4 (Image Comics)

Glad to have another issue of EGOs! Really enjoying this series. pic.twitter.com/BgrKUYx1Mw

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Flash Annual #3 (DC Comics)

Flash Annual #3 was pretty great! I'm really digging everything @robertvenditti & @van_jensen are doing with this book so far!

— chris hogan (@unlikelynerd) April 30, 2014

Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman Vs. Bane #1 (DC Comics)

Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman VS Bane #1: A pointless tie-in that is a waste of time. Even Tomasi can't save this garbage.

— Daniel Cole (@gizmo151183) April 30, 2014

Furious #4 (Dark Horse Comics)

Furious #4: another great issue of Furious… I mean the Beacon… no, it's Furia now! pic.twitter.com/bty5mJhFGv

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) May 1, 2014

Furious is a great little mystery with frenetic art!! Can't wait to see how it all wraps up! pic.twitter.com/26k0Gc15cY

— Mike Lepine (@lepineisme) May 1, 2014

Hacktivist #4 (Archaia)

#HACKTIVIST #4: Emotionally satisfying end to the surprise hit of 2014, a freedom uprising is more than a trust algorithm. #sve_Urs3lf

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) April 30, 2014

Hulk #2 (Marvel Comics)

Hulk #2 was pretty great. I'm really digging this new storyline. It's always fun when the Abomonation shows up to the party

— chris hogan (@unlikelynerd) April 30, 2014

Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Two #4 (DC Comics)

INJUSTICE #4: Still one of the best uses of the DCU characters, totally independent of New 52 continuity.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) April 30, 2014

New Avengers #17 (Marvel Comics)

Holy hell New Avengers was amazing. The Hickman era of Avengers is amazing. pic.twitter.com/5WVkxa9p1S

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Origin II #5 (Marvel Comics)

Really enjoyed this Origin 2 series. Especially loved the art. pic.twitter.com/zwSp6641Ic

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Pariah #3 (Dark Horse Comics)

Pariah has been a really good series so far. Im really interested to see how this all plays out. pic.twitter.com/0ixOBmDVbd

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

Rachel Rising #25 (Image Comics)

Rachel Rising 25 was perfection. Can this story go on forever please @terrymoore? pic.twitter.com/zypjSrLHL8

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Rai #1 (Valiant)

Rai #1: Crain's art is stunning in places. The colour is striking and beautiful. A shame that Kindt's script is dull.

— Daniel Cole (@gizmo151183) April 30, 2014

Rai #1: great writing & amazing art! I hope Kindt keeps Lula as a recurring character pic.twitter.com/SXAxrcxL4F

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) May 1, 2014

Scribblenauts Unmasked A Crisis of Imagination #4 (DC Comics)

Scribblenauts is awesome for all ages. REALLY all ages!! It's got the whole corps for Pete's sake!! pic.twitter.com/dMGryPX7sF

— Mike Lepine (@lepineisme) May 1, 2014

Silver Surfer #2 (Marvel Comics)

Silver Surfer #2 was simply wonderful. Loving this. pic.twitter.com/ZZtKu82QMZ

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

OH MAN SILVER SURFER #2 IS SO DAMNED GOOD! This is the story I was looking for after reading the preview! Read this book!

— chris hogan (@unlikelynerd) May 1, 2014

I feel like I'm the target audience for Silver Surfer #2 but maybe it's just too madcap for the mood I'm in lately. pic.twitter.com/mbuYms70w4

— Jason Sacks (@jasonsacks) May 1, 2014

Silver Surfer is fine and all, but I think I'm done with it. Don't think I will get any good buttons out of it either pic.twitter.com/jkdgqaMz3q

— Mike Lepine (@lepineisme) May 1, 2014

Southern Bastards #1 (Image Comics)

Southern Bastards #1 was great. Looking forward to more of this series. pic.twitter.com/0TtudChd6W

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

SOUTHERN BASTARDS #1: Dirty Crime. It captures the strange conflicted mix of emotions you can feel for a place once called home.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) April 30, 2014

Southern Bastards #1: Latour's art is the selling point, his colour work is gorgeous. Aaron's script has potential but doesn't stand out.

— Daniel Cole (@gizmo151183) April 30, 2014

It seems like I've been waiting to read Southern Bastards for forever, but godsdamn was it worth the wait. Great damn book!

— chris hogan (@unlikelynerd) April 30, 2014

Southern Bastards #1: great characters! Earl returns to his childhood home & is haunted by the memories… pic.twitter.com/1EGRDBsgyY

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) May 1, 2014

Star Wars: Rebel Heist #1 (Dark Horse Comics)

Really enjoyed Star Wars Rebel Heist #1. First non-main Star Wars book ive read in a long time. pic.twitter.com/ky9ADEQaMN

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

Star Wars: Rebel Heist #1: Kindt's script is fun and Castiello's art is solid. However it is utterly forgettable.

— Daniel Cole (@gizmo151183) April 30, 2014

STAR WARS: REBEL HEIST #1: Not sure I'll stick with this due to some quibbles, but an interesting idea from the POV of a rebel recruit.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) April 30, 2014

Star Wars: Rebel Heist #1: relax, kid, he has a plan?? I couldn't resist the Kindt cover 🙂 & it's a fun read pic.twitter.com/nQxMgmbzMI

— Kirk (@kirkvanlund) May 1, 2014

Tales of Honor #2 (Image Comics)

TALES OF HONOR #2: Really fun learning about this new universe, digging all of the military procedural bits.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) April 30, 2014

Umbral # 6 (Image Comics)

Another awesome issue of Umbral. Im more and more invested in this series with every new issue. pic.twitter.com/IFPNG02rNQ

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

UMBRAL #6: Great wrap up to this first arc with some heart-stopping visuals, can't wait to see where we go next.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) April 30, 2014

Uncanny Avengers Annual #1 (Marvel Comics)

Uncanny Avengers annual #1 was a really great read. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/2Qyo8EiDQg

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

Hahahahaha. Uncanny Avengers Annual #1 is amazing. pic.twitter.com/4gxMuWuX6F

— Comical Podcast (@ComicalPodcast) April 30, 2014

Uncanny Avengers Annual was pretty damn spectacular! And Avengers of the Supernatural should be a thing that happens more regularly

— chris hogan (@unlikelynerd) May 1, 2014

V Wars #1 (IDW)

V Wars #1: Maberry and Robinson deliver a bland opening to a book that has no original ideas. Avoid.

— Daniel Cole (@gizmo151183) April 30, 2014

Vandroid #3 (Dark Horse Comics)

Another radical issue of Vandroid this week. If you arent reading this book you are missing out! pic.twitter.com/Ox4CImmIV6

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) April 30, 2014

Vertigo Quarterly Cyan #1 (DC/Vertigo)

A ton of great stories in vertigo quarterly. Really glad I picked it up. pic.twitter.com/x4RZLwjUEL

— Aaron Meyers (@AaronMeyers) May 1, 2014

VERTIGO QUARTERLY: CMYK #1: This worked best as an art showcase, writing was lackluster, no emotional connection, except for Shaun Simon.

— Justin Giampaoli (@ThirteenMinutes) May 1, 2014

What If? Age of Ultron #5 (Marvel Comics)

What If Age Of Ultron #5 was awesome. Love how this all came together. Great read. pic.twitter.com/vaTvPJB5Bo
