The pull list November 7-12

Stormwatch #3
Green Lantern #3
Flashpoint Hardcover
Point One #1
Fear Itself 7.1 Captain America
Fear Itself 7.2 Thor
Avenging Spider-Man #1
Uncanny X-Men #1

Of all the titles this week, the one I looked most forward to was Uncanny X-Men. I have bee a fan of Marvel's mutant team since the days of Roy Thomas and Neal Adams. I have every comic until four years ago when I stopped. Too many teams, too many characters, and too many gimmicks forced me to stop (not to mention the steep prices). I tried to jump in every now and then but I felt lost. With Schism, I gave it a go. One last chance to see if I'd follow what was once my favorite comic book. So far it has held my interest. The two teams of X-Men (nothing new since the days of the blue and gold teams) have some interesting rosters that should make for interesting stories. I will give it until the first two story arcs before I make the decision to continue or stop. But the first issues of Wolverine and the X-Men and the Uncanny X-Men have been interesting. And that's the best thing that I can say about this franchise in a long time.
