made selling the trades fucking weird. I think people actually stopped reading them in trades as a result.

Yeah, skipping a volume of all their ongoing Star Wars books was not a smart business decision.

Fucking crossovers.

How's that going to work in the trades when normal people read it?

Probably a separate trade, not numbered, I don't know.

Instead of presenting a formal review, I've decided to share a note that I'm sending Mr. Bendis after reading this issue.

Here's the text in case you can't read the photo.

And here's the book I'm sending him.

It'll be going in the mail first thing Monday morning.

Review Score: 0/10

Working on the front page thing and just felt the need to reiterate that this was hilarious. :lol:

you know when you post them all at once and it causes someone to comment on them all someone is gonna complain and say that we should have our own subforum. I may actually agree with them though.

The Review Group, unlike PreviewTron, will have the good sense to post them all in a summary. :roll:

Besides, the Review Group doesn't need a subforum, it needs a splinter forum. :twisted:

It won't matter though, unless you are doing a new thread for the forum, it will result in threads being bumped and the three crazy people bitching about it.

reviewgroup.com appears to be open. :-D

New Avengers 3 Review

Not a bad issue, but nothing great either. Immonen's art is solid and Bendis does his usual back and forth chatter. I'm starting to think seriously about dropping the Avengers books by Bendis simply bc they read so much better in one sitting. Not enough happens in each issue to really keep my interest. I still wanna read the avengers but Bendis' style is not keeping me as enthralled as it should be. Wolverine still doesn't fit in as an Avenger to me and I really wish they'd take him off the squad. He should be killing things, not being goody-goody on the avengers. I'm also getting kind of tired of having jessica jones and cage's baby be so involved in these stories. They need to do something drastic like write the baby off into another dimension or something bc I don't think that dynamic is at all interesting. They care more about the baby than being heroes and if they can't focus on the threat at hand 100% then they shouldn't be avengers.

Story 5.5
Art 6
Overall 5.75

Nope, they announced at NYCC that Squirrel Girl would be taking over as the baby's nanny so expect more baby than ever before.
