Astonishing X-Men #9 is the only recommendation from this week's list coming into the store on March 31. This despite the fact that there's at least three issues between what's on the stands and what's been read from the collection at home. But it's still a solid take on the X-Men. Even if it is looking to take its time coming out.

On the other hand, there is also MK Spider-Man #12. The perfect jumping-off point for those who fell into the trap of reading this series. Not to say that it was all bad, gritty and like a mouthful of gravel it was. Thing is, was it really even the Spider-Man that Spider-Man is? Or were any of the characters really acting rationally and in character? For the fans of Reggie "Kiss my butt Wakanda" Hudlin, #13 is where the line starts.

On the cheap-enough-for-a-look range is that DC Countdown to Infinite Crisis 80 page whopper. The start of another one of the company-wide earthquaking events. It's like the timing was planned just around the Indonesians. Class act.
