“Intelligence” part one! Azrael has found a new home in Gotham City…unfortunately, someone from his old home with the Order of St. Dumas has found him! The Order has unleashed a bizarre new evil on the world, and it’s convinced it must destroy Jean-Paul Valley!

It's Azrael time and unlike Eric, I am pumped.  I love Jean-Claude Van Damme and this sounds like the sequel to Bloodsport I've been waiting for.  What?!?!  It's not Jean-Claude Van Damme, but Jean-Paul Valley?!?!?  Isn't he that dude from the Highlander TV Show?

“Godwatch” epilogue! With Godwatch’s purpose fulfilled, Diana and Cale are forced to confront the choices of the past…and a new direction for the future. 

I am a bit worried that this issue won't really give us much and just set things up for Rucka's big finale in the over sized #25 issue.  However, I'm usually wrong.

X-Men: Gold is back for another two issues this month. Now before going into this Resurrection relaunch this was the title I was most excited about believe it or not … but the book just hasn’t lived up to my own hype I guess.  The stories have lacked that certain pizazz I was hoping for I guess you could say but I remain hopeful, along with last issues cliffhangers, we are treated to something interesting.

Okay so when we last left Nadia and the newly formed G.I.R.L. outfit they were in the middle of formulating ideas to remove a remotely detonated bomb hidden in Nadia's friend Ying's spine. Nadia has also agreed to trade herself in to her nemesis (her Mother) in exchange for the preservation of Ying's life. She has however left a communications channel open so she can pull that deal pronto if G.I.R.L. successfully extract the bomb. Confused? You will be.
