Well right now the only really good books I'm reading are Vision and Moon Knight. Vision is just great, that's all I have to say about it. Moon Knight on the other hand is really crazy and weird which works because of the character but if you don't know your Moon Knight lore then it's probably too crazy. So it's not as great as Warren Ellis' run last volume but still good in its own way. I feel like these solo led title series are tending to be better to me than the team books because they aren't slowed down or muddled for events or to collaborate with other titles. There are still good team books out there like I've heard a lot of good stuff about the Ultimates (which I'll start picking up soon) but then every other team book I hear mixed things from story to story thanks to cross-title stories or events interfering with what was already happening.

I'm also really hoping that the Nova teases are for Richard Rider's return because Sam is getting boring fast. This entire latest volume has just been retreading the same story from his introduction. "What's Sam Nova up to this issue? Oh he's still looking for his dad... again... some more."

I'll just add my voice (again) to the group of people who think that Civil War II isn't good and just seems really dumb all the time. I also really don't like the recent Iron Man "adventure" he took up wherein he finds out that the Starks actually just adopted him and his real parents were just schmucks. His mom is a British radio host and his dad was a grunt for SHIELD who of course turned out to be a HYDRA double-agent and was then killed by Tony's mom for being HYDRA. Why?!?! Again I ask, why? It was never a thing before that Tony Stark wasn't his parents' child and now that they decided to make it a thing the "reveal" they gave us sucked and doesn't even factor into anything. It's not like we learned his parents were other heroes or even villains which could somehow play into his Iron Man persona. Nope, just schmucks. What the hell was Marvel thinking? Shit like this is why I don't like it when Bendis is writing.
