Last week on Review Group Drama:Hellblazer blew. Let the Bendis Bashing Commence!

Avengers #10
selected by Jude Terror
The Infinity Gauntlet is back! And no power on the Earth can stop it! It is sentences like these that made Stan Lee invent the phrase: ‘Nuff Said!! Another pulse-pounding, Earth-shattering chapter from Marvel's blockbuster superteam of Bendis and Romita Jr! Plus: Another illustrated chapter of the oral history of the Avengers!

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Penciller: John Romita Jr.
Artist: John Romita Jr
Orig. Published: February 23, 2011


GLX has next week's pick.


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. There is no such thing as a "late" review.

The only request I make 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. Also you'd better keep in mind the Amber Atoms rule, if your pick isn't reviewed by 2 or more people you will be exiled from the Group for 1 year. Our definition of a single issue comic is limited to comics listed at $3.99 or lower, anything above that is off limits. Also, to prevent utter filth being chosen deliberately, the Weird Worlds Rule has also gone into affect. Any book scoring a new all-time low (2.68 as of today) will not count as a miss if people wisely choose not to purchase it. Any poor soul who did review the book will earn a free pass on a book of their choice.

I'll be contacting members this week about their desire to stay involved with the group.

List will be updated with colors and any new members I missed at approximately 10:30 PM EST, Wednesday

To be revealed later (when I get home from work)

[GHERU]

are books on time this week?

[BlueStreak]

I think so. It has something to do with Diamond changing their release schedule.

[Punchy]

are books on time this week?

Yes, I have mine now.

[S.F. Jude Terror]

As the pick is mine this week, I demand that all references to the writer be worded as "The Great One" Brian Bendis, or simply "The Great One." Thanks.

Then you should've picked a different book.

[Punchy]

Then you should've picked a different book.

The Great One had 3 books out this week.

[MrBlack]

Cool cover.

[Victorian Squid]

The Great One had 3 books out this week.

Morning Glories, Iron Man 2.0 and what else?

[Punchy]

Morning Glories, Iron Man 2.0 and what else?

Haha, very funny.

Bendis is the true Great One, Spencer is yet a pretender at this point.

Bendis has Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Doom out.

Fraction, another one orbiting the Great One, also had 3 books out, Iron Man, Thor and Uncanny X-Men (co-written).

[Victorian Squid]

Don't bring up Fraction to try and make Bendis look good by comparison, it won't work!

[Punchy]

They are both good.

[Victorian Squid]

They are both good.

Good just isn't good enough.

[Punchy]

Good just isn't good enough.

You're just ridiculous sometimes.
