All right, we have an average sized shipment headed for the Bunker this week. Evidently, I’m in store for more Marvel titles than DC and, unfortunately for me, plenty of Civil War tie-in issues. Yep. It looks like I’ll be getting a total of four Civil War tie-in issues which is about four more than I would like to read.

Which DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Well, I only have two titles to choose from and I really enjoyed both 52 and Teen Titans. However, I’m going to have to go with Teen Titans #42. Johns has made Teen Titans one of DC’s hottest books and it is always a great read.

Which DC comic book am I least looking forward to reading? None. Both 52 and Teen Titans are quality reads.

Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Given the titles to choose from this is a very easy decision. Ultimate Spider-Man #103. Bendis has made this comic book an absolute must read. Ultimate Spider-Man is arguably Marvel’s most entertaining comic book. The Clone Saga story arc has been a wild ride and I can’t wait to read this issue.

Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? Good lord, take your pick. Shall I choose the ever unimpressive New Avengers Civil War tie-in? Or maybe the horrid Fantastic Four Civil War tie-in? It is a very close call since both titles have been pathetic reads since Civil War began, however, I’m going to have to go with Fantastic Four #541. The last issue of Fantastic Four was a truly hideous tie-in issue. I just hope Fantastic Four #541 doesn’t quote any Broadway show tunes about Nazi scientists.
