I'm still working my way through my pile (it's a digital pile these days but I still think of it that way), but so far I'm thinking Amazing X-men #3 is gonna be hard to beat. Non-stop action, gorgeous art and tons o Nightcrawler. What more could I ask for?

not read everything yet, but Miracle Man was awesome, and I really enjoyed Rover Red Charlie #2. The interaction with the cats made me laugh out loud. Also picked up the first 3 issues of Rocket Girl which I loved.

Superior Spider-Man #25 was the big book of the week for me.....well it was the seeds for the big return. Other than that not much got me this week. (I still haven't read Amazing X-Men #3 yet)

Superior was awesome. Daredevil as always ( more excited for the new launch of him now). Alex and Ada is such a good book. Amazing xmen is pure fun. If you like fun then amazing xmen is for you

Well, it's not a new book but I was really excited to see the new printing of Miracleman begin. Thoroughly enjoyed the end to the latest arc in Thor: GoT #17. The 6th Gun continue to go from strength to strength for me - #37 may not be the best place to jump on board, but do try the first trade (or digital omnibus) if you've enjoyed Cullen Bunn's writing elsewhere (as I know lots of folks here have). It's a great fun supernatural Western, which for once doesn't just mean zombies and a medicine show...

I really enjoyed the latest issue of Uncanny X-Men. Very glad it was Magneto-centric although I was a little taken aback by the end: "Magneto will appear again in Magneto #1". I'd prefer to see this story, and Erik's exploits, continue in the pages of Uncanny. Regardless, Chris Bachalo's art is always a treat and I thought Bendis' script was very good.
I need to read the last two issues of Thor now.

I had two great books this week, Daredevil #35 and Rat Queens #4. I also read Midas Flesh #1 from a few weeks ago.
Daredevil #25 gets a score of 5 out of 5 for great writing and art. This is the second to last issue of this volume of Daredevil and it ends with a GREAT cliffhanger.
Rat Queens #4 gets a score of 4 out of 5 for spectacular art, and great writing. Action heavy issue with several perfectly executed jokes.

As others have said, Daredevil #35 continues a really special run and I'm excited Mark Waid and Chris Samnee will help usher in the next phase of the character.
I also really enjoyed Velvet #3. For me, this issue continued to add a lot of depth to Velvet's character, showing her skill set as an effective spy, but also showing there's more to her than just a cold, calculating agent.
Plus, the first trade of Ten Grand came out and I'm really enjoying catching up on this series and will likely subscribe from here on out. As someone said on another forum thread, the artist switch is jarring, but once accepted it does nothing to subtract from a fascinating story.

For this week I really liked Thor: God of Thunder #17, Unity #3, and Superior Spider-man #25.

I loved Superior Spider-man this week, the art lacked a tiny bit for me, but the story was great, and I actually found myself caring about about a character I hadn't in the past.
Batgirl was really fun this week, and as a Tie it, it makes me want to read the rest of Gothtopia.
Uncanny X-Men was amazing! And I hate to use confusing general marvel title prefixes to describe it, but it was truly amazing. Solid Art, excellent story, great action and feels like it's going to progress to something important.
Not released on 1/15/14 but I finally got to read Krampus, and I almost died laughing! This is going on the pull list! If you enjoy snark, and craziness, this is the title you need to be reading.
Coffin Hill, continues to be solid, and dark. The art is phenomenal, and the story is now starting to get even more intricate.
MircaleMan a comic that I've been waiting for quite a while. It did not disappoint. It really captured the feel of the various eras it took place in. This gave me chilling throwbacks to Watchmen. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
Alex + Ada, a funny, awkward and beautifully designed title. We are starting to see some story progression here. The character interaction feels natural, and the subtlety of the title is really what brings everything together for me. This is such a deep immersive title, it feels like it's pulling you in deeper with every issue, and panel.

I wasn't expecting much going in on issue #1, but I with the way the series is going I'm definately onboard for a few more issues.
