Comic Book Power Rankings

Top 5:
1. Ultimate Spider-man (Issue #7) [Fill-in artist Chris Samnee returns for another issue, and while I’m still looking forward to Sara Pichelli’s return, I liked the art and the script much more than the last issue.]
2. Ultimates (Issue #7) [I’ve really enjoyed how the two storylines have started to intersect.]
3. Justice League (Issue #6) [This issue wrapped up the first story arc, which I definitely liked. I hope the book continues to be equal parts characterization and action.]
4. Ultimate X-men (Issues #7 and #8) [Both of these issues were good, but I especially liked the Jean Grey story in #8.]
5. New Avengers (Issues #21 and #22) [Victoria Hand’s role in the Norman Osborn saga finally seems to be revealed.]

Comic Book Power Rankings

Top 5:
1. Justice League (Issue #1) [This was a great start for DC’s The New 52. I can only hope the other titles that I’m checking out are as good as this.]
2. Captain America (Issue #2) [A really cool story so far that’s being told in the present and in the past (as most great Captain America stories are).]
3. New Avengers (Issue #15) [I really enjoyed this Fear Itself tie-in issue starring Squirrel-Girl…that’s right, I said Squirrel-Girl.]
4. Ultimate Hawkeye (Issue #1) [Along with Ultimates #1, this was a good beginning to the new Ultimate universe.]
5. Amazing Spider-man (Issues #667 and #668) [Spider-Island has been fun so far.]

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.]

8. FF #8, Venom #6
