I'm up to issue 6 (need to buy 7-10 still), but I've been busy reading X-Men Essentials 3 (almost done, though) because I got X-Men Essentials 4 in the mail and I'm excited to read God Loves Man Kills!

I hear Hulk and Superior Spiderman are awesome.  Anyone checking those out?

Superior Spider-Man is fascinating...  I can't wait for those new issues each month...  and Thor: God of Thunder!  Damn!  Good reading.

I spent some time with a friend today and he caught me up on everything happening since Avengers vs. Xmen.  I was skeptical at first, but they're doing some really cool things with Marvel Now.  With the Original Xmen in current continuity, he wanted to build a team with them on it.  BIG fun.  Anyway, Hulk, Superior Spiderman, Scarlet Spider, Venom, the Xbooks... pretty much everything I looked at was ace.

Yea I just picked up one of the books about the orignal xmen in today's world and I'm hooked. I haven't been in to comics in some time but some interesting stuff is going on these days. Also the art is great.

I keep looking for an excuse to drop Hulk for budgetary reasons, but I find one thing about each new issue that keeps me going.  Walt Simonson did the art for 6 (and the upcoming 7), which was about Banner and his crew of scientists taking a field trip to Jotunheim.  Hijinks ensue.

Not really sure where Waid's taking the overall plot yet.  The book is holding my interest better than Deadpool and especially Superior Spider-Man (which I dropped after 4 issues because I found it incredibly dull and not on par with other Slott-written Spider-Man stuff like Big Time and Spider Island), but I'm actively looking for a clean breaking point to stop buying it and then back issue it once it starts going somewhere.  Though "Hulk as a S.H.I.E.L.D.-guided wrecking ball" is a fun concept that keeps bringing me back each month.
