I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Secret Invasion: the Amazing Spiderman #1 - Marvel
Ok, 1 more Spider-man book out this week. But honestly, this one really revolves more around Jackpot . . I almost called her Slingshot . . than necessarily Spider-man. Actually it's a Secret Invasion book, but . . we don't actually see a Skrull until the final couple of pages. Jackpot has gone to the DB to try to explain herself when the offices are attacked by . . something that looks like . . Spider-man. Jackpot puts up a noble fight, but you just knew she wasn't going to have it in her to stand up to this Super-Skrull. On the final page of the issue, it looks like he's getting ready to pound her into the floor. This mini-series is being brought to us by Brian Reed and Marco Santucci. Marco's pencils really show a lot of promise. He's one of those talents that's not quite there yet, but . . he's really close. Some of his panels in this book are really sharp looking. But then others . . are just mediocre. But that comes with experience and practice. He'll get there. He really shows a lot of promise. This should be an interesting story. But really, I bought it because it's a Spider-man book, not necessarily because it's a Secret Invasion book. I think you all know by now what I think about that. It was an interesting first issue. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if all 3 issues have the same intensity. Hopefully!
