I dub this Thursday, and every Thursday on Random Blog, COMIC THURSDAY!!! I will be reviewing any comics that I get the day before. This week, I will be reviewing two comics:
Amazing Spider-man #650
and
New Avengers #7
Amazing Spider-man #650
This is the better of the two comics I got yesterday. Dan Slott is proving to be an awesome solo writer for the book and the art by Humberto Ramos is amazing. They showcased Spidey's first new costume in this issue and I must say that it is pretty cool. The suit allows Spidey to bend sound and light, making him invisible to the naked eye. The next issue, the last of this arc, is shaping up to be an awesome fight between Spidey, the Kingpin, Black Cat (who was looking fine in this issue), and the Hobgoblin. Ramos is definitely moving towards being one of my favorite artists. When he was first announced as being on the book, I was lukewarm at best. Now, I can't wait for his finale for this arc and his next arc to come out.

New Avengers #7
New Avengers #7 was a decent issue, but for some reason it was missing something. True, it just ended a epic first arc and a filler was needed. But this comic lacked something, something that I can't put my finger on. Maybe it was the way Brian Michael Bendis (my favorite writer) wrote this issue. I know for a fact that it was NOT Stuart Immonen's art. Beautiful as always. Too bad he'll be leaving the book in a few issues. I have to say, though, having Squirrel Girl as the nanny is a brillant idea and I comend Bendis on the choice. I can't wait for the now expected Squirrel Girl issue where she and Jarvis team up to keep the mansion safe. That said, I'll continue to pick up New Avengers, but right now it is on the bubble of being cut.
