ok about time to put this up, even if I'm the only one doing it 
this was a good week for me. I had 4 books and 3 of them could have been my best of the week. fortunately by the time I got through the pile I had made up my mind
The lowest point this week was Spider-Man 2099 #11, which wasn't bad, but was up against stiff competition. If I'm really honest with myself though, I'm glad this series is ending. I feel like it was just a vehicle for Spider-Verse tie-ins and Peter David never got to really give it a story of its own. Secret Wars will put it out of its misery, at least for now. It's a sad end for one of my favorite characters from the 90s though.
The big competition came down to Birthright #6, Saga #27 and Descender #2. Birthright continues to be a lot of fun and there was a surprise or two that made me do a double take which is always great. Saga gave me some great insight into Marco and this book almost got my pick of the week based on the final 2 pages alone. Don't want to spoil anything though so I'll leave it at that.
My book of the Week though has got to go to Descender #2. This book continues to grab my imagination. We get some fleshing out of a character or two, more fantastic art, and just what I would call (for lack of a better term) a great mood. Sci Fi is definitely my bag lately, and this one gets the nod just for being slightly less of a soap opera than Saga.

Glad he's settling in though, as I'd heard from others the art felt a little off last issue.
