CBT! Age Of Ultron #2, Uncanny Xmen #3, Secret Avengers #2

Age Of Ultron #2
WHY DOESN'T BENDIS WRITE X MEN THIS WELL!?!?!? Age of Ultron started brilliantly last week and continued its intense story in a post utronic destroyed world. As usual with apocolyptic stuff the best thing is seeing exactly what each character is doing and how they are adapting and it is great to see a few new examples of that this issue. Moon Knight and Black Widows stories look awesome however I am a little annoyed with two things, cap already has a plan and there are barely any xmen considering Bendis is an x men writer now. Anyway I will be buying all of AU its awesome so far, you should too.
8.5/10

Uncanny X Men #3
Uncanny X Men fails to pick up in its third issue and falls back about a year into pointless bickering between Cap and Cyke, I really like a lot of the points made in the comic but feel like they are the subtleties that made the end of AvX bearable and they never needed telling explicitly. The art was Bachalo what can I say, generally messy and out of proportion as usual, I'm glad its changing soon. Magneto's ploy is pretty cool but it annoys me that it was played up in previews as though he was a traitor, feels more like a lie than good writing. I'm sticking with the title but expecting it to pick up for sure (last page is good btw).
7/10

Secret Avengers #2
Nick Spencer's insane Secret Avengers continues with a second issue as action packed as the first, AIM pop up as theey do in everything at the moment and Taskmaster is broken free, just not in any of the ways you may think. Its tricky to review this without spoiling it but the last few pages and the smart direction the series is taking makes the comic. Througout the dialogue is good and the art along with it but nothing spectacular, its the plot that stands out, and stands out enough to make it a regular title, for now at least.
8/10
