I was a little busy this week, so I didn’t get the chance to read a whole lot of new stuff this week. but what I did manage to get through (Ame-Comi Girls #5, Secret Avengers #1, and Uncanny X-Men #1) was all quite enjoyable and well above my expectations, which for this set of books was pretty low. I was pleasantly surprised however at the quality of everything this week, which is out of character for me, as I’m usually a cynical old man who hates change, and everything I picked is some type of reboot or re-imagining.

You’ve probably noticed my output has been a little low of late. Well, I’m here to explain at least some of that. You see, a few weeks ago I stumbled across this incredibly addicting Facebook game, Avengers Alliance. And if my Raptr profile is to be believed, I’ve been playing it nearly 30 hours a week since then, and for that I apologize. But if you can control yourself (which I obviously cannot), and are looking for a fun little casual game to play on Facebook, I highly recommend you check this game out.

There are plenty of good media franchises, but it’s hard to find one where more than 75% of them are all good. So there were some choices I didn’t make because too many films in the series I didn’t like or just don’t hold up to the original. I tried to pick series where almost all of them were good.

It’s a pretty light week here at the Take It or Leave It. I only picked up two Avengers books, Avengers #5 and New Avengers #3.

It’s been four long months, but the day we’ve been waiting for is nearly here. Community is finally returning to the “We (Peacock) Comedy” channel, NBC, this Thursday at 8/7 Central. Check out the epic trailer for Season 4 after the jump!.

This one is a tough one for me, as I’ve never really played many games besides Super Dodge Ball, Bad News Baseball, and Star Trek Online.

I’ve been remiss the last few weeks, what with holiday vacations, then getting sick, and then work, but I managed to get a few things (Star Trek: Countdown To Darkness #1, Mars Attacks The Transformers, and A + X #4) read this week, and the first one literally made my eyes bug out of my head when I read it, I had to recommend it.

This week I discuss my list of Desert Island Movies. No, not like Lord of the Flies or The Blue Lagoon, or Gilligan’s Island and the Harlem Globetrotters (which was a real thing). No, not movies set on Desert Islands, the movies we would want with us if we were stranded on a Desert Island with only a solar powered DVD player.
