    Finished The Last God by Phillip Kennedy Johnson. This is a great fantasy comic. Enjoyed the story and the art. PKJ said there could be more if DC green lights it and he has the time. Highly recommended.

    Also, read BRZRKR by Matt Kindt and Keanu Reeves. I really enjoyed this. It's a quick read, a fun romp and I hope we see more of it. This is the first Kindt I've read, I need to check out more of his stuff.

    In other news my AXE Judgement War prep read took me down the rabbithole of Jason Aaron and co.'s AVENGERS / AVENGERS FOREVER run. I've seen a lot (seriously a LOT) of commentary slamming this. I enjoyed Aaron's THOR run so was curious what the fuss was about. I'm liking it. The line-up is solid, the 'new history' tieing most of the cast to proto-Avengers from 1million BC works well enough, the action scenes are fun and the lineup of villians are good. There is an element of 'i've seen this before' that keeps this firmly in like not love zone for me... Namor declaring war on the surface world, Celestials doing Celestial things, villains who are alt-multiverse versions of the ones we know... none of this is remotely new. As far as 'new' goes, having She-Hulk Hulk out further was ... a choice. Having Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider join was good but trying so very very hard to make him important was not. Phoenix... no one needed the Phoenix back again... no one at all. Black Panther in charge works but putting the Avengers under Wakanda and actively split from the US seems too blunt. Blade on the team... look Dracula and the Vampire Nation have a place in the MU and i don't think it's in Avengers comics, but as an excuse to bring Blade in i can let it go bcs Aaron clearly enjoys writing the character in the 'team psychopath' role and Logan Wolverine is busy in six other titles anyways. I do like the new and blatantly artificial Squadron Supreme as opponents. The Winter Guard are always fun. And Mephisto going full active villain is a nice change from his usual behind-the-scenes role.
    I'm appreciating my Marvel Unlimited subscription this month.


    I agree. His run got a lot of hate. But overall I enjoyed it. As with all Aaron I've read, his runs are a bit uneven, stuff I like, others not so much. This was no different.

    Halfway through Against All Gods by Miles Cameron, this is one very excellent book. One of few books that really give a bronze age feeling in the same way his Red Knight books are medieval unlike so much fantasy.


    Agreed! My favorite read of last year. The next book, Storming Heaven is out on July 20. It's my most anticipated book.
