Marvel Comics A: Paul Pelletier
Another great issue of War of Kings from DnA, who manage to fit a lot of action in while also giving plenty of time to quieter moments and character development.
Paul Pelletier's art is brilliant yet again, especially in the final battle between the Imperial Guard and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Which brings me to the best moment of the issue and the week, Rocket Raccoon taking down Gladiator with a mop! (with help from Rachel Grey's telepathy).
A - Book of the Week
Cable #14 W: Duane Swierczynski
Marvel Comics A: Ariel Olivetti
Part Four of Messiah War starts just after Stryfe has captured Hope and Warpath, so there are several strands running through this issue as X-Force split up to attempt to salvage their mission, and the events within Stryfe's citadel.
All of these strands seem to be being set up for resolution in later parts of the crossover, so there isn't really much resolution in this issue, though it does appear that Archangel has made his decision regarding Apocalypse.
Ariel Olivetti's art is quite good, I think it depicts the weird ambience of this Age of Stryfe well.

New Mutants #1 W: Zeb Wells
Marvel Comics A: Diogenes Neves
I decided to try out this new series featuring the (remaining) members of the original junior X-Men team and though I'm not familiar with those characters, I enjoyed this issue, an intriguing start to the story.
Magik especially is an interesting character and gets a lot of good lines in this issue.
Neves' art was pretty good on the whole, so while I'm still not sure I'll continue to pick it up, there is a good chance I will.
