4 Comic Books to look forward to

1. Avengers #1 from Bendis/Romita Jr. - After the epic war over Asgard is over and the dust is settled Marvel is launching it's Universe into a different direction. In the vein of the Golden Age of Marvel all the major super heroes will be together again. All the division created by Civil War has been mended. Not the entire team is revealed but Iron Man, Captain America (Bucky), and Hawkeye will be there. Avengers #01 will be out in May.

2. Brightest Day - After the Darkest night comes the Brightest Day. What a great promo line. Geoff Johns has really set the DC world on fire with his great main and side stories for Darkest Night. After reading Blackest Night 07 Sinestro's future is still up in the air but it's very interesting to see how the eighth one will turn out. Hopefully Hal Jordan doesn't still the limelight from Sinestro like he always does. Knowing who the white lantern is ( Don't worry I won't spoil it.) The promo shot is even more interesting. Brightest day will be a 26-issue bi-weekly, year-long event. Brightest Day will be coming out in April 2010.

3. X-Men: Second Coming - Second coming is the third part of a trilogy starting with Messiah Complex and continuing with Messiah War. Marvel seems to be marketing Second coming as a good starting point to jump into for new comers. I will be one of those new comers since I haven't been reading the new X-men titles. I have always been a huge fan and I'm really glad to see Marvel pushing a X-men Title this hard. X-men : Second Coming should be out in March 2010.

4. Invincible #71 - The Viltrumite War is finally here! The huge war that has been teased ever since Invincible's Dad beat the living hell out of him seems to be finally starting. With each issue getting bloodier and bloodier issue 71 will probably atleast have 5 severed heads. That's only a guess mind you. Invincible 71 hits the shelf in March keep an eye out for exploding lips and intense mustaches.

Now I know people are thinking " Why is it only four when everyone else has ten or atleast ten. Is he a loser?" I only have four because anything else that seems interesting is tied to one of these four some way or another. So why bore you with side comics when I can give you the main ones and with that spark your interest to look for the others? About being a loser that's really a matter of opinion and I couldn't agree with you more. With that being said Marvel and Dc look like they're going in the same direction with a more mainstream positive line of comics. Don't worry if you're still bloodthirsty there will always be smaller publishers ripe for the picking.
