I’m way, way behind on my comics, so these are the rankings for my January comics, which I received in the mail in early February.  Hopefully I’ll catch up soon.

Top 5:
1. Ultimates (Issue #6) [I’ve enjoyed the new Ultimates book, but this was the first issue where I really felt engaged by both major storylines.]
2. Justice League (Issue #5) [It’s been fun seeing all the members of the team get to know each other.]
3. Ultimate Spider-man (Issue #6) [The story for this issue was strong as it usually is, but the fill in artist did not compare to Sara Pichelli.]
4. Green Lantern (Issue #5) [Sinestro’s team-up with Hal Jordan continues.]
5. Avengers (Issue #21) [In this issue and in New Avengers #20, the Avengers are dealing with the repercussions of Norman Osborn being on the loose.  Both issues were entertaining, but they feel like rehashings of the Norman Osborn stories from a year or so ago.]

1. Ultimate Fallout #5 and #6, Ultimates #1, Ultimate Hawkeye #1 [The end of the post-Death Of Spider-man story and the beginning of the new Ultimate Comics.]
2. Justice League #1 [DC Comics first issue from The New 52.  I’m actually quite excited to read this.]
3. Amazing Spider-man #667 and #668 [Spider-Island gets into full swing.]
4. Fear Itself #5, New Avengers #15, Avengers #16, Secret Avengers #16 [Marvel’s latest event has been ok, but the story has almost been too sprawling to keep track of.]

My monthly comics came in the mail last week while I was at the beach.  Here’s the list:

1.  Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates #6, Ultimate Fallout #1 through #4 [The end of The Death Of Spider-man storyline and the aftermath.]
2.  Amazing Spider-man #665 and #666 [The beginning of Spider-Island.]

8.  FF #6 and #7 [Jonathan Hickman’s run on Fantastic Four/FF continues.]
9.  Venom #5
10. RASL #11 [I’ve enjoyed all the issues of Jeff Smith’s RASL, but at this point, I forget everything that has happened.  At some point, I should re-read all the issues.]

Top 5:
1.  Ultimate Spider-man (Issues #159 and #160) [The Death Of Spider-man storyline concludes.]
2.  Fear Itself (Issues #3 and #4) [Mass destruction and a death that’s really disappointing and one that I almost can’t believe (which is saying something).]
3.  Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates (Issue #5) [The penultimate issue of this series has the story taking several twists and turns.]
4.  Avengers (Issue #14) [The documentary-style look at Fear Itself continues.]
5.  Ultimate X (Issue #5) [The Jeph Loeb and Arthur Adams post-Ultimatum story finally comes to an end.  The story was good, but it took about two years for the five issues to be released which makes it hard to remember what’s happening within the story.]
