It's all about sharing the wealth. Since I don't need to feel sheepish about posting (not that that stopped me before!), here's my recommendation: <I>Young Avengers</I> #6. This is probably my favorite issue of this delightful series to date. Mark Fossen just posted a nice review of it on his site and I second everything he says there. It may be an awkward issue to begin with because it's the conclusion of the opening arc, but it really has everything: beautiful art by Jim Cheung, wonderful teen-angsty drama, smart, witty dialogue, great characters--it's a really fun read. If I was only allowed to keep one Marvel title on my pull-list, this would be it. Marvel publishes its trades so quickly now that I expect the full collected story will probably be out soon (and cheaper than individual issues) so you may want to wait for the trade if this sounds like the kind of thing you might enjoy.Jim Roeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381244745309535742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12531491.post-1125588210476046392005-09-01T11:23:00.000-04:002005-09-01T11:23:00.000-04:00Jim, I'm going to hold off on giving you another f...Jim, I'm going to hold off on giving you another freebie so I don't innundate you with dollarbin comics.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping someone new will post a recommendation here someday.<BR/><BR/>Anyone?

I'm going to have to think about it a bit before answering...<BR/><BR/>On the topic of missing one's personal deadlines: everyone's been too polite to say anything, but I've been trashing them since the beginning at my own site, while blithely maintaining the pretense that "Spoilers Abound" is a "weekly" digest, as it claims in the subtitle. Missing deadlines is one of the great pleasures of existence--why deny yourself, especially on your own blog??<BR/><BR/>Btw: I just discovered Gotham Central myself (though I don't own that issue)--great pick!<BR/><BR/>And finally: the mystery-comic arrived in the mail yesterday. Thanks!! Watch for my "review" of it the new S.A. tonight or tomorrow.Jim Roeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381244745309535742noreply@blogger.com
