I really like the cover art for Avenging Spider-Man and the second Daredevil, nice old school comic vibe.

Can anyone explain how Professor X is walking?

Daredevil is great avenging is good cuz it's usually a single to 2 issue arcs, xmen have been slowly leaving my pull list, and there's to many avengers titles to get into other than the main 2.

@ACira If I'm correct he has been since House of M I think. It's been a while at any rate.

A lot of excellent covers lately, even from DC.

I'll have to buy that issue of the Punisher for my wife! She loves to sport the Punisher shirts.

God, that Punisher cover is hot shit. That series has been fricking awesome, as well. Same goes for Omega Effect.

Don't forget that Angel can pretty much shower Hawkeye with blades. This is a guy who chops people's heads off with his wings by accident.
