Summary: Welcome to Positively Nerdy and the Marvel NOW! invasion. Nearly half the stack this week is from Marvel NOW! but don’t think for a minute that means we don’t have any variety. DC’s New52 offers a few surprises along with a pair of titles from Image Comics while IDW continues to prep fans for Star Trek: Into Darkness! The Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #3 races the mini-series toward it’s conclusion with the most exciting issue yet while Chew #32 remains as difficult as ever to accurately describe to all of you. The roster of the Justice League grows in Justice League #18 but typically that only means DC is going to remove some of the core members. Meanwhile the roster of Avengers #8 is already massive and writer Jonathan Hickman uses them each extremely effectively. Otto can’t help but ignore the responsibility that comes with his powers when it comes to getting back at bullies in Superior Spider-Man #6 while Miles takes on more than his fair share in Ultimate Comics All-New Spider-Man #21. Mark Waid keeps things exciting in Indestructible Hulk #5 as All-New X-Men #9 solidifies the series’ standing as the best of Marvel NOW! while serving as the comic book equivalent of a ‘Greatest Hits’ album. Wonder Woman #18 wraps up a massive story that has dominated every issue of the New52’s run and Saga #11 showcases all the big ideas and tiny details that go into making it the best comic currently being published
