OK, some picks from me...
Uber
Keiron Gillen's alternative history continues to be thoughtful and gloriously over the top by turns.
Mighty Avengers
To my mind, this is how event crossovers ought to be handled. I'm not reading Original Sin, but that didn't stop me from really enjoying this tale from the history of the original Mighty Avengers... which has also moved the main plot along nicely. For anyone interested in Al Ewing's writing - he hasn't done a lot in American comics so far but has written a whole lot of stuff for 2000AD.
She-hulk
The writing is great - character work and plot are both coming along brilliantly. But the art... it's not that I think it's bad - I could quite enjoy Wimberly on his own book - but here the extreme stylisation makes it all but impossible to recognise anyone without an introduction in the text. Very jarring...
New Avengers
Have to say, I'm still enjoying this and the current incursion along with the addition of Banner to the Illuminati has reinvigorated the series for me.
Starlight
The best Millar series I've read in years - possibly ever. It helps that Parlov's art is both beautiful and ideally suited to this bittersweet space opera.

I can't decide between Avengers Undercover, All New X-men, or New Avengers.

For me it was She-Hulk. The art was kind of funky but the story has been great.

All-New X-Men is number one, followed by Learning to Crawl 1.2, but I didn't get much this week.

Tough call between Starlight and Shutter. Really tough. So tough, in fact, that i'm gonna say it's a tie. They were both magnificent.

My book of the week was Starlight #4.
Didn't plan on picking it up but after reading the first issue for free i had to buy and read all the issues that are out so far.
I just love the story and the art and its pretty surprising for me that this was written by Millar.
I heard that this series will only have 6 issues which is a bummer, something like this should be an ongoing if you ask me.
