Pretty big week this week. I got all the Civil War titles, most of the Marvel Universe titles, and the Marvel western title. Justice League of America #0 was my only DC. Flash #2 came out, but I didn't really care for the premiere issue, so I think I'll drop it. Comics are too expensive to buy titles that have to grow on me.

I am glad that X-Factor is only tied into the Civil War with two issues. Last month's was the only Civil War tie-in I have not liked. I would think if you're hooking into the major crossover event, you'd try to put your best foot forward for new readers, but I didn't know what the hell was going on. I bought the follow-up in the interest of being complete, but I don't think I'll be continuing with the title. If it were more than two issues, I probably wouldn't even continue with the tie-ins.

An example in the other direction is Cable and Deadpool. I would never have picked up this book on its own, but it was pretty amusing.
