It's that time of the week again, when Wednesday rears its beautiful head and the Comic Book Fairy comes down your chimney to hide long boxes in your living room. This week's box will hold the answer to several questions. Will The Brave And The Bold's second arc be as old school thrilling as its first? Will Checkmate continue to be the one decent in-continuity DC book that doesn't have Green Lanterns? Will Bucky escape the clutches of the Red Skull in time to don the ridiculous new black and chrome Cap suit? Will this next Marvel Zombies series finally put the nail in the coffin for this undead franchise that shockingly just won't die? What superhero pastiche will fornicate with what inappropriate person / object / woodland creature in the latest issue of The Boys? And finally, will we get to see Good Bendis, Bad Bendis, or Both? You see, Brian Bendis is the Rex Grossman of comics. Often times, he's throwing perfect touchdown passes with Powers and Ultimate Spider-Man, but he just as frequently tosses long bomb interceptions with anything he touches that says Avengers. With both the much delayed Mighty A's #5 and a new issue of Powers releasing this week, we will probably see both side of this comic-quarterback's coin. But, who knows, maybe he'll surprise us and throw a short slant in the end zone to Naked Ultron Girl's tight end. Get it, because tight end is a football position and a reference to her behind. Double entendre! Oh, and pick of the week goes to Brubaker's Cap #31, of course.
