Weekly Comics to Come - April 4, 2007

TOP FIVE
American Virgin #13 (The latest story has been really good, and just reintroduced one of my favorite characters)
Buffy The Vampire Slayer #2 (First issue was excellent, I'm really looking forward to reading the second)
Jack Of Fables #9 (After three weaker issues of Fables, the spinoff has surpassed its parent... this book is a whole lot of fun)
Runaways #25 (After Buffy #1, Whedon has the benefit of the doubt for me again... even though he's moving the team to New York and only writing 6 issues)
Elk's Run GN (Really looking forward to reading the whole story of this... I think the story belongs in graphic novel format, and the issues were just tantalizing enough to have me wondering how it all ends up)

THE REST
52 Week #48 (If pressed, I couldn't really tell you what's happening in this book. I'm reading it, and mostly enjoying it, but it's making no impact at all)
Avengers Initiative #1 (I'm not sure I like it as the status quo for the Marvel Universe, but in a vacuum, the 50 state initiative is kind of a neat idea, and Dan Slott is writing... I'll at least give this a look)
Immortal Iron Fist #4 (I think I might rather read this in trade... I like it, but the pacing is kinda slow)
Irredeemable Ant-Man #7 (Still a fun, unusual book)
Omega Flight #1 (Love Scott Kolins art, lukewarm on Oeming's writing, not crazy about the concept for this team)
Spider-Man Family #2 (Features a story by Paul Benjamin and Vasilis Lolos, looking forward to seeing how it turns out)

Randy, I love Whedon as well. That being said, astonishing x-men was hit and miss. Now Whedon is moving the team to New York?? That being said i am really looking foward to Buffy #2 as well. Hopefully we will find out why Dawn is, well, huge. I think that is the first time I have actually cared about a storyline involving Dawn come to think of it.
