Azrael #1 as selected by MrBlack[/center] Written by Fabian Nicieza Art by Ramon Bachs Following the events of "The Eighth Deadly Sin" in BATMAN ANNUAL #27 and DETECTIVE COMICS ANNUAL #11, the new monthly series starring Death's Dark Knight begins! Michael Lane is a man in search of redemption, but does serving the Order of Purity as God's Angel of Justice bring him closer to achieving his goal – or simply send him further down a road paved with good intentions? When a hired killer comes to Gotham City seeking revenge for crimes committed decades in the past, Azrael faces an impossible conflict: What if God's justice forces the hero to claim one of God's servants? From writer Fabian Nicieza (SUPERMAN, TRINITY) and artist Ramon Bachs (RED ROBIN)! Batman | 32pg. | Color | $2.99 US

Dark Avengers: Ares #1 as selected by SuperginraiX[/center] WRITER: Kieron Gillen PENCILS: Manuel Garcia Ares – the God of War! His relentless brutality and his bloodthirsty drive to attain victory at any cost earned him only scorn from his fellow gods in the Greek pantheon, and exile from Olympus. After thousands of years living as a man and fighting in man’s bloody, petty conflicts, Ares joined the ranks of Earth’s mightiest heroes – the Avengers. Now Norman Osborn – the new head of the corrupted Dark Avengers and director of the paramilitary intelligence agency H.A.M.M.E.R. – wants the finest fighting force the God of War can provide. He charges Ares with hand-picking an elite squad of soldiers and beating them into the hardest, sharpest warriors ever to wield an M-60 in each hand. And that’s exactly what Ares will need, when the goddess Hera provides him with a fighting chance to regain his standing in the pantheon’s eyes. And Ares is taking his men with him into the battle of their lives… Rated T …$3.99 
If you would like to join the group it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick. With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. Going forward, there is no such thing as a "late" review. The only request I make with the new format is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadsheet of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind. 
Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong. 
If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays.

I'm guessing this week will be brutal, this just looks so very mediocre. |

I liked the mini, that was during Battle for the Cowl, right. Yeah, this comic not so much. First of all, it isn't even a number one. It clearly rests on the two annuals that preceded it and then (much like last week's pick) it is one of those books where the writer throws so much shit onto the page that it is genuinely difficult to figure out what the fuck is going on. Then there is the art. Yech! I can tell you right now. This is hands down the worst comic for the group that I have read since I have been in the group. |

Worse than Titans #1 or Checkmate #26? That's a bold statement. |
||
|
||
|

I didn't mind Titans as much, it wasn't good but it wasn't awful. This is on the same level as checkmate. |
||
|
||
|
|
||
|
You gave Titans a 2.

still not as bad as this. it was entertaining enough to keep me reading the book for three or four more issues and was like Rulk, entertaining but stupid. This is just fucking bad and not at all entertaining. |

the character's identity and the entire story line. You know not much. |
||
|
||
|
|
||
|
actually, it's not quite that bad, but it keeps refering to what happened in the annuals but never says what happened. |
