2-21 Quick Hits

Quick thoughts on some of this week's books...

Civil War #7 - Blah. A completely anti-climactic ending to the story. What was the big death? What, aside from "The Initiative", are the long-running consequences?

New Avengers: Illuminati #2 - An interesting look at Reed Richards and the potential for him to abuse power. I'm a sucker for anything involving the Inhumans. Which takes us to...

Silent War #2 - a great story. Anything with Black Bolt is cool.

Other books whose numbers I can't remember:
Robin - the first time in a long time where I finished a books and said "Wow, that was wicked good" ("wicked" being Massachusetts for "very"). A great look at the dynamic between Batman and Robin.
Superman (I think 669) - an interesting meditation on the nature of superheroes and their role in society. A beautiful standalone story.
