Initial thoughts:

Amazing Spider-Girl continues to bring that old-school feel. That makes me glad. Annihilation: Conquest has one more issue and then it’s over. That makes me sad (but I am interested in seeing what’s left after this for the Guardians of the Galaxy series). Avengers Fairy Tales surprises me. And the art is amazing. The Initiative continues one hell of a storyline. I’m still not completely sold on the Millar/Hitch/Neary Fantastic Four, but I think I’m more keen on the writing than the art. And I cannot wait to sit down with a collected Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin. What I’ve seen (and heard) has been outstanding.
