Comics this week

52: Week 48- I know I'm one of the few fans who loved the idea of Renee Montoya taking over the role of the Question, hopefully this issue will show all of you why it is such a great idea! Yes, after months of waiting, Renee Montoya finally accepts the role from Vic Sage. I will ignore the rest of the issue (hopefully this is the last we will see of Intergang and their half-man, half-animal goons) because there is a new Question in town! On a sidenote, I am very sorry about the fact that Batwoman managed to live through this issue. She should have stayed dead!

Justice League of America #7- After 7 issues, we finally see the full team. A nothing issue really because all we hear about is how legendary the team is. The only part of the issue I liked is that we get to see the new Hall of Justice. The first storyline is over, so no more JLA for me.

Avengers: The Initiative #1- We get on the ground floor for the new superhero army of America. Boy is America in trouble. This ongoing series is about the training of the heroes that will be protecting the 50 states of America in the aftermath of (the crap) Civil War. Dan Slott is a good writer but this book will face the same problem Checkmate faced; the team is just too big. There were about 40 heroes in this book, so D-lister and some new faces but they barely show up. Rage was shown in a grand total of 2 panels! Dan Slott is good but unless he trim the team or focus on some of the main characters, I highly doubt this book will last.
