what we learned: the magic men can't hazard a guess as to who's been trying to stage another Inferno show in New York, where our other Avengers (oh, hi there, Jewel!) have their hands full swatting demons left and right. until the sky spits out Danny, and the first thing he does is ...
oh shit moment: ... give Dr. Strange an iron fist, minus the iron. hey, nice duds, Danny?
what's next: we've known of that thing for years, but who really owns the Eye of Agamotto? Agamotto, of course. duh.


i bet Strange never got sucker punched by Clea or the Night Nurse like that.

New Avengers #3 (Marvel) Brian Michael Bendis Stuart Immonen Wade Von Grawbadger Laura Martin Chris Eliopoulos

what we learned: this is actually a fun book even if its just for Stuart Immonen's tight cartoony style. Iron Fist is transported by the possessing demon somewhere else, while his teammates deal with the sky breaking open with more demons pouring out. the magic boys retreat to figure who's big enough to take them all on. Victoria, meanwhile, decides to lend a Hand.
oh shit moment: eh? is that the Ancient One?
what's next: do we need to call in Zatanna or something?


ummm, not this one.

snaps: Spider-Man - Fever #1

... where we go along with Spidey and Dr. Strange on a psychedelic trip with hungry mystical spiders making meals out of souls. Brendan McCarthy's weird tale is not for everyone, especially if you're not fond of creepy crawlies. i mean, in every monthly Spider-Man book, do you ever see an actual spider?

booooooo! Team CoCo all the way!!! wait ... what year is this??


yes, this is the past i guess ... Adrian Toomes did look like a shriveled prune even back then.


yo, dog, s'cool. you just need to flush that drugs down the toilet and everything's fine.
