Venom #13Venom #13
Marvel Comics
Remender, Moore & Staples

This issue kicks off a six part story that could easily have been a straight-up crossover with red Hulk, Ghost Rider and X-23. The arc, titled "Circle of Four" is to run solely in the Venom book (utilizing the ridiculous "." numbering convention) weekly for the next five weeks. This first issue comes with a hefty page count for the $4 book cover price and uses those pages well to setup the story and provide some fun moments and ideas. I found this book to be a pleasant surprise and I plan to pick up the entire arc as a result of the strength of this book. I recommend picking this book up.

Winter Soldier #1Winter Soldier #1
Marvel Comics
Brubaker, Guice & Breitweiser

Bucky is back as the Winter Soldier in this launch of what could be considered a Captain America franchise book. If you are familiar with any of Ed Brubaker's writing, specifically his work on Captain America, then you know exactly what to expect from this book. Brubaker provides the same level of cloak and danger story set in the James Bond-like world of international politics and intrigue. The artwork is a bit of a different approach from what you may expect from Guice as he uses more of a photo-realistic approach for this book. Overall, I liked the book but I ultimately felt that this was all ground we've seen covered before. However, if you want more spy stories then you will love this book.
