Best Bet

Nothing I feel comfortable labeling as a best bet this week.

Amazing Spider-Man #17

BEFORE “DEAD NO MORE”! The Prowler (and our readers) meet the new Electro! Who is this woman and what does she have to do with the Man in Red?!

It might be called Before Dead No More, but it feels like Dead No More is well underway. This series has been picking up steam the last few issues and I imagine #17 is going to continue to gather momentum rolling into Dead No More. Issue #16 is a great jumping on point for this series that I feel will be some of the best reading of the latter half of the year.

Honorable Mentions

Silver Surfer #6

If you’re looking for a Marvel book that stands on it’s own (outside of Civil War II) look no further than Slott and Allred’s Silver Surfer. This is the series’ 200th issue and there are bound to be some zany twists! Slott’s love of Doctor Who bleeds through onto the pages of this series and Allred’s art is on another level. This is probably worthy of being a best bet but I’m behind on the series so I couldn’t pull the trigger.
