"Second Coming" Chapter 11
Summary: It's fight or die time as Cyclops drafts every mutant on Utopia, even people he never expected or wanted to. In the future, Cable and X-Force make some headway but maybe bit off more than they could chew. And, back in the present, one heavy hitter realizes its time to get off the sidelines.
Comments: Wow. It's all coming to an explosive finale and I can't wait for it. This issue did have a few different art styles depending where, when, and who they illustrating so my art and color scores are an average of all 3. But in case you haven't got the message from my last 10 reviews of Second Coming: READ THIS STORY!!!

Summary: The Butcher finds out whose side Hughie is really on when he defends team Super Duper from Malchemical. Meanwhile, Mother's Milk is none to happy about the way Butcher went behind The Boys back to handle this situation, and he's got a few things to say about it.
Comments: Just another amazing issue. If you've never read this comic before, the cover may seem a little off-putting but lately the covers all tie-in to the overall story, not the particular issues. The detail in this awesome art shows facial emotions the likes of which I don't see in most other comics. The ongoing story line is simply jaw-dropping and I have to know how what's gonna happen next!

Comments: Now this is what a Bendis Avengers comic should be. Great story from first page to last. Add to that some downright amazing art and colors, and a pretty good (albeit bland) cover to boot, and you got Marvel's best selling title all over again!

Comments: I absolutely love the art style of Daniel Acuna. I put him down as the penciler, and inker, but I think he just uses paint. I don't know. Anyway, the issue has a great story to go with the art and an awesome twist at the end!

Summary: The Fantastic Four join the Avengers and the X-Club to break through the dome surrounding San Francisco. Meanwhile, inside the dome Bastion continues to send Nimrod Sentinels from the future to erradicate the entire mutant population. But the X-Force have something to say about that...
Comments: Another incredible issue in the saga that is Second Coming. With lots of heroes and action and Granov's amazing digital paint, the cover is an easy 10. The interior art is really good at times and then little things like certain people's faces would bug me. The only other negative thing I have to say was the slight lack of a jaw dropping scene or an amazing cliffhanger. A great issue otherwise, and we all know its building to something HUGE.

"Just Desserts" Part 1
Summary: A new case for FDA Special Agent Tony Chew emerges, and its right up his alley. For a guy that gets a psychic flash of the history of anything he eats, an underground dining club where endangered and extinct animals are served for extreme amounts of money is a good place to go undercover.
Comments: This is honestly, hands down, the most original comic to be released in ages. The writing is superb and the art and colors are awesome and very stylized. One thing that makes the art so good is the background images/text. Just three words almost hidden in the background will make you laugh out loud. Something that stands out even more is the lettering. The layout and coloring of the balloons and sound effects is one of a kind. This comic is really in a class of its own.

Summary: Sam and Twitch are getting fed up in the case of the writer. Witnesses are being too vague and people with information won't come forward. But Twitch finally gets a lead and, meanwhile, a civilian tries to stop the writer on his own.
Comments: This is a very good mystery, the kind you'd see on CSI or Law and Order. It just doesn't do a very good job at being a comic. The artwork, from cover to interior, is alright at best and the lack of word balloons is just as cool as it is crappy. You almost have to re-learn the way to read comics. As much as I love detectives Sam and Twitch, this one could be better.

Comments: If you couldn't tell from the summary, this issue feels like a cheap Avengers knock off. It starts off pretty good but the deja' vu kicks in pretty swiftly. The interiors were really good and the cover was pretty cool but the story was quite bland. These are the heroes no knows or cares about, and while it did have a nice cliffhanger ending, it didn't do much to keep me interested. Here's hoping for a better issue 2!
