Comic reviews for the week of 11/9/11

Hot pick of the Week: Uncanny X-Force #17 The Dark Angel Saga: Chapter 7 (Marvel Comics) Rick Remender Writer/Jerome Opena Art

  
  This is the true choice for top dog this week without any doubt. There was a good selection to choose from, just nothing that measured up to the marvelous story telling from Mr. Remender and the awesome eye popping master piece work laid out on the pages before you by Jerome Opena. This is the Apocalypse storyline that Marvel has not nailed down in years and years. The punch line is the major X nemesis of the X-Men, Apocalypse has not appeared on any of these pages and yet it still rings true to a devious plan put in motion by this awesome evil doer.

Not So Hot:

     I do not want to sound like I am picking on this title, but I hated the whole deal. I must say atleast this issue I was some how able to turn the pages. It just did not work, not to mention the main heroine was missing for the whole series till the last issue.
