Top 5 Comics (05-01-2013)

I was going to write up a top 5 review for this week, but due to me having to go out of town for a doctors appointment I just wasn't able to until now. So while I was trying to pick out comics for this week I could only see two title that I'm actually excited for, and one I'm interested in by its cover but have been really disappointed in reading the title so far. I'm getting more comics, but I'm just kinda blah about them. The creative teams are broken, or I'm just behind on them, or just something else. So for the three title I'm giving you this week are:

3. Age of Ultron #7 (Marvel Comics): This title has been so frustrating. I don't know, it just doesn't work for me, but I keep reading it for some reason. Hopes of Marvel Man showing up in the end, a tease of Infinity in the closing extra issue, or maybe I'm just a sucker for events? I'm sold to this right now. This cover was one that actually sold me on the title, and now I want to know how this come to be, or whats going on for this to be a thing. Hopefully this doesn't disappoint, but it probably will.

2. Iron Man #9 (Marvel Comics): With Iron Man 3 coming out in theaters this week, and here we get the start of a brand new story arc with Iron Man. We get his secret origin, what could this mean? I don't know? I'm burnt out on the idea of 'secret origins', whats the twist that his father ultimately had plans to make him rise to his potential the whole time? That Tony is the last son of an alien planet? Who cares? The title has been amazing so far since the Marvel now relaunch with Kieron Gillen took over the title. This has been the first time I've cared about the character so I'm pretty sold on seeing how this story plays out.

1. Thanos Rising #2 (Marvel Comics): I know I just gave a rant about secret origins, but holy hell did I ever love the first issue. Jason Aaron is just a writer that seems to do no wrong. He gives good dark and deep stories that also have humour and soul to them. The art too is just wonderful, and works so well with the story being told. This is a must read title for me, and I recommend it to everyone.

And just to give you guys a little more stuff to round out the blog this week. I spent the day reading the Adventure Time comics (Kaboom) and Prophet (Image) both of those are amazing and good reads. I highly recommend the pick up if can. Both titles have trades out now and are worth the grab.
