***Book of the Week***
Secret Warriors #6Writer: Jonathan Hickman / Artist: Stefano Caselli
Reading this book really is like watching a TV show. The story flows naturally giving action and plot in each individual issue, while also subtly building upon a greater theme throughout the series. Jonathan Hickman does a phenomenal job with that this issue, showing us that Nick Fury has won the battle but is far from winning the war. Said battle also happens to be very entertaining thanks to the great art of Stefano Caselli. Overall, this was the best issue yet of this extraordinary series and the last past leaves us thinking things will only get better.IGN - 9/10

New Avengers #55
Writer: Brian Bendis / Artist: Stuart Immonen
This issue of New Avengers serves more as a story for the Hood rather than our favorite superhero team. Most of it consists of a coup within the Hood's gang and the Avengers stumbling into an absurd evil scheme. Seeing a favorite group of mine get beat up by a team of nobodies without a valid explanation is the frustrating. Immonen's art is inconsistent, with a lot of his characters looking different from panel to panel. Add to that Spider-Man discussing some Brand New Day problems and you've got a silly comic book that's not very entertaining.IGN - 8.3/10

Thunderbolts #134
Writer: Andy Diggle / Artist: Miguel Sepulveda
Everything I liked about last issue returns in this one and everything I didn't like is corrected. Seeing another villain on the team turn into a good guy was the last thing I wanted, but thankfully, Diggle provides an awesome cliffhanger on the last page involving one of my new favorite heroes that totally wins me back over. Also good was the interaction between Headsman and Mister X, providing some more character depth and dynamism. Of course, the main the story is about Songbird though, and this issue progresses that in a fresh and exciting way. I'm not a big fan of Sepulveda's photography inspired art, but it didn't at all distract me from Diggle's great espionage and action-packed story.IGN - 8.5/10
