But thanks for letting me know about the krytojuana (what color is it anyway?), that sounds like something I'll have to check out lol As for Mighty Avengers, pacing aside, to go from Frank Cho to Mark Bagley is quite jarring =/ Adan: Actually, I hadn't heard that Rucka was leaving Checkmate. I would've guessed they would've just ended the series with his departure, but to have it replaced by Bruce Jones?? Sad on so many levels :( Lastly, Jason, thanks for the awesome review U3 lol, I think you might be onto something there Alan: I think you meant the Suicide Squad, not the Doom Patrol.

Yeah, I think the problem is that Bagley can't draw faces for shiz, so... Also, I agree about the pacing issues but I think it's moving so fast because they are trying to catch up to Marvel continuity... The Cho issues, while beautiful, were always really really late and I think these past few issues they've just been hitting the bases they need to hit before Secret Invasion. “If the artist is good enough to give me a genuine facial expression I don’t need a character’s thought bubble to tell me every single thing going through their head.”
