While there wasn't an overly large amount of things to get excited about this week, Secret Invasion moved right along with the latest issue of Mighty Avengers. Batman gets one issue closer to his apparent death. The Justice League...still suck and Thor tries to make amends with his father, Odin. Ready for some reviews on full-auto? Let's roll!

Batman #675 (DC)
One word: confusing. If you thought that the current title by Grant Morrison was a little hard to follow before, wait until you check out this issue. Used more as a bridge between the past couple issues and the upcoming Batman R.I.P. story, issue #675 should really only be recommended to die-hard Morrison fans who've been following his run from the very beginning.
POA Rating: - 6.4/10

Justice League of America #20 (DC)
It seems almost like JLA has been progressively losing steam as the issues move on. Starting off with the fantastic Tornado's Path arc, then the slightly less interesting Lightning Saga. We moved into a couple one-shots followed by the Injustice League stories. Since then, the stories have been boring and uninteresting. This issue is really no exception to that as it shows Wonder Woman playing mommy to Flash who's been avoiding the league because of his personal life.

Mighty Avengers #12 (Marvel)
The return of Nick Fury! This issue shows exactly what Fury's been up to since his departure from S.H.I.E.L.D. and shows that he's been pretty busy keeping tabs on pretty much everyone including creating a list of possible Skrulls. While this issue almost seems like it should have been a New Avengers comic and not an issue of Mighty Avengers, it still gets it's point across and gives us readers a pretty clear indication as to what Nick Fury's role in Secret Invasion will be.
POA Rating: - 8.2/10

Thor #8 (Marvel)
Another amazing issue by Straczynski and Djurdjevic brings the past arc to a close. As with the previous issues in this run so far, JMS' writing is top notch and really appeals to not only the new fans but the longtime Thor fans as well. Djurdjevic follows up his work in the last issue with another great visual experience that adds to the overall telling of Straczynski's story. With Djurdjevic ending his short stint on pencils, former artist Oliver Coipel returns next issue. Excited? I know I am!
