The Avengers Marvel Comics Bendis/Cheung
An interesting little story about the New and Dark Avengers being forced to team up against the Frost Giant Ymir who's busy turning New York into a snow globe. It's a good introduction to the two teams and Dark Reign, but several of the characters are barely noticeable, so you wonder why so many were included.
Blackest Night #0 DC Comics Johns/Reis
This was a bit disappointing as a prologue to Blackest Night as it doesn't catch you up with everything that's been happening in the Green Lantern books, it only runs through a number of character deaths that may or may not mean much to you depending on how knowledgeable you are about the DCU. The profile pages of the eight Lantern Corps are however interesting, but don't tell you the exact status quo among the Corps going into Blackest Night, which may possibly impact on the accessibility of the event.
Savage Dragon #148 Image Comics Erik Larsen
This issue very helpfully recapped the entire story of the Savage Dragon up to his children being kidnapped. I enjoyed this issue and the team up with Daredevil.
Resurrection #0 Oni Press Guggenheim/Greenwood
A prologue issue to a new post-alien-invasion series, this was quite good, but not enough to really get me interested in it. The Tek Jansen backup story was also pretty funny
Star Wars The Clone Wars/More Dark Horse Comics Various
This collection of short comics was pretty good considering that it seemed to be pretty child-friendly stuff. The lead Clone Wars story showed off the skills and know-how of a Jedi general. The Usagi Yojimbo story was good, as was the Indiana Jones, but Beanworld comic was weird, though not nearly as pointlessly weird as Emily the Strange which I didn't see the point of at all.
