I picked up...
The Ultimate #1
FF #8
Kick *** 2 #3
Punisher #2
Wolverine #14
Batman Inc #8
Green Lantern Emerald Warriors #13
Flipped through some of the DC titles ending. Lots of them have kind of Meta Commentary about their ends. Looks like they killed off Alan Scott in JSA.
Couldn't wait to read FF and Ultimates by Hickman. After the Black Bolt fill in, it was great to get back into the meat of the story. Favourite moment was Valeria getting grounded for releasing the evil otherdimensional Reeds. Terrific HERBIE moment. Even will all the high stakes drama, some really laugh out loud moments that are completely in character and not JLI type schtick. Spider-man definitely gets the best lines. The Villains are terrific as well, and Hickman is obviously having a blast writing their interactions. Sue gets to shine this issue as she calls out Nathanial Richard's and his machinations.
Ultimate is off to a great start. Favourite moment involves Asgardians getting drunk with a bear and then into a bar fight with Captain Britain. This is definitely not the slow build Mark Millar/Bryan Hitch Ultimates. Explosive action right out of the starting gate with high stakes.
Kick *** seems to be getting quite a bit of mileage off the Real Life Superhero movement. I"m actually kind of shocked that this is the first to really capitalize on it.
