Ultimate Enemy #1

Marvel's solicits threaten us with the revelation of the "face of true evil in the Ultimate Universe," but we never see the face in this issue. We do, however, see some great Rafa Sandoval art.

Luke Cage has a problem, and Brian Michael Bendis throws virtually every hero in the Marvel Universe at the problem, which makes for an offbeat, engaging issue to read.
Powers #2
December 22nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Bendis and Oeming think not enough comics feature superheroes fighting giant Nazi robots and aim to rectify it here. Sadly, it doesn’t add to the main story as much as one would hope.
Dark Avengers #12
December 20th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
What started out promising feels like a deus ex machina ending, even as it all-but-ensures that one character is going away shortly.
New Avengers Annual #3
December 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
New Avengers Annual" #3 is all right, if you don't mind it not needing to be an Annual or that it spoils another, yet-to-be-published comic. Oops.

Norman Osborn and his crew are in serious trouble. "Secret Wars II"-level trouble.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #4
November 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

November 2nd, 2009 | By James Hunt
The Avengers face off against the Dark Avengers as Osborn captures Luke Cage.
Dark Avengers #10
October 22nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A marked drop in quality in this issue as the tone is too light-hearted and Deodato’s art doesn’t mesh with the script as much as usual.
Spider-Woman #2
October 21st, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Jessica Drew wakes up in a Madripoor prison after killing a Skrull. Clearly, her life could be better.

September 22nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"New Avengers" is entertaining, with another step forward in the power-stealing device, but it seems to be moving awfully slow.

August 21st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The terrible voice acting makes Bendis's dialogue seem even more stilted than normal.
The Amazing Spider-Man #600
July 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
If you always wanted to see Hydro-Man escape via toilet, then this book is for you. Of course, the fact that this thing clocks in at 100 pages might interest you too. Oh, and Octo-hostages, but no Octo-mom.
