@DG The Family Feud story is the resurrection of Carnage after he supposedly died at the end of the Maximum Carnage story line!
Shriek & Doppelganger also come back, to form Carnage's "family"!

What is Carnage USA all about?

In Carnage USA, Carnage takes over a small mid-west american town and turns everyone into symbiotes that he can control. The Avengers, including Spidey, are sent in to clean up the mess.

It is good, and the art is amazing. It's a 5 part series.

Read Superman: Red Son last night.

Quite enjoyed it. For anyone looking for balls to the wall action scenes you won't really find that here. I think you could call it more of an experimental tale, as Mark Millar takes the Superman mythos and turns it upside down, with well known characters being presented in a completely new way.
Though there are still some underlying themes that will always remain an integral part of any Superman story, and they are swiftly ingrained in the story, albeit in a very unique and original way.
Quick summary, basically Superman lands in the Ukraine as opposed to Kansas. He's brought up in Communist USSR, raised as a protege to Josef Stalin, and presented to the world as the new Russian super-weapon.
However, he's still Superman, and ultimately still holds humanity as his responsibility to protect, political affiliations aside.
Lex Luthor is there, but is married to Louis Lane. He remains as Superman's main opponent but not how you would expect.
Other characters such as Batman, Wonder Woman and Braniac also make an appearance.

Long story short, great story. You'll never see the ending coming.

Amazing read that was, and yes, the ending was so awesome! Also I liked Batmans potrayal.

Been reading ( again) Army of Two TPB.
I personally really enjoyed the games. And the graphic novel is just as awesome.

@KnightFall: Which volume of the Spawn collections has the Armageddon arc? Pretty much the only one I'm interested in.

A pretty good read for some of the last Batman comics before the DC relaunch. Some great artwork, and a nice comeback for Ra. The story asks some big questions of some of the characters, Nightwing, Tim Drake.

The noves only flaw is that its centred around Batman's son, and the new Robin, Damian Wayne, easily one of the least likeable characters to wear the Robin mantle. Other than that, a nice insight into what makes both Ra's and Batman tick, and the lengths each will go to, to achieve their missions, showing how much more alike they are in their obsessions than they realise.

Will start weighing in on the New 52 stuff from tomorrow on. First up, Action Comics!!!
