Nice. Another manageable week in store for The Revolution. All right, which DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Both are great titles so this is a tough choice. However, 52 is just on fire with the past couple of issues, so I’m going to go with 52 #37. And judging by who is on the cover of 52 #37, it appears that this is going to be one wild read.

Which DC comic book am I least looking forward to reading? None. Both 52 and Green Lantern kick ass.

Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Another easy choice. Ultimate Spider-Man #104. Bendis is white hot on this Clone Saga story arc. This title is total blast to read. I hated the 616 version of the Clone Saga, so it has been stunning how Bendis could take the basic idea and create such a fantastic story arc.

Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? Well, it comes down to Fantastic Four #542 and Ghost Rider #7. Now, as bad as JMS’ Fantastic Four Civil War tie-in issues have been, there are two reasons I’m not picking Fantastic Four #542. First, we are getting a new writer on Fantastic Four in Dwayne McDuffie. Now, while I’ve never been a real big fan of McDuffie’s writing, I can’t judge his Fantastic Four until I’ve read a couple of issues. And second, a title really has to suck hardcore for it to be worse than a Daniel Way written comic book.

Yup, Ghost Rider #7 is the comic book I am least looking forward to reading. Compound Way’s horrid writing with the fact that I just can’t stand Corben’s artwork makes it almost certain that I won’t dig this issue.

As always, I will effort to start posting reviews as soon as possible.
