Comic Pick - Week 51 2007

Mighty Avengers #6It's the first ever AudioShocker Comic Pick two-way tie. Last week had a fairly horrid turnout but this week had copious amounts of awesome issues. It was so tough to choose the best that I had to make a compromise.

Mighty Avengers #6 ended the delayed first arc of this series with stellar results. Brian Michael Bendis and Frank Cho produced a wonderful team effort that reads like a dream and looks like a comics masterpiece. Standout moments include Cho's visualization of Ultron's antivirus efforts, the Wasp's heroic moment, and the Sentry's emotional revelation.

Special Forces #2Kyle Baker's second issue of Special Forces came out one month after the first and delivered an equally rousing story in only 22 pages. Frankly, I didn't expect to see this series follow up so quickly with a part-two. I'm glad it did because Baker's interpretation of a modern day war story is thoughtful and intriguing while never slacking in action.
