Who's Got The Shingles? Soss Has Got The Shingles!


Last week I came down with a nasty case of shingles. Pretty fun stuff, stabbing pains in my side, a rash and the medication made me vomit for four straight days. 

The good news is my friends have a new nickname for me now. -Soss

Soss' 2-13-14 Pull-List Review

Avengers #24

While I loved that this was a quieter story with lots of personal interaction, I HATED the myriad of artists tasked with bringing this book to the shelves. If you only credit Esad Ribic on the cover I expect 22 pages of his art.

Hickman's stories always tend to be too grand for what I want in an Avengers book. Everything shouldn't be intergalactic space battles and aliens with this team. I enjoyed Thor making burgers for his fellow teammates more then the entirety of the Infinity storyline. 

While this was a good jumping on point for new readers the murky storytelling provided by the host of pencilers and inkers is a true disappointment. -Soss
