Avengers No Road Home #6 (Marvel)

I ordered this on the strength of Conan's appearance in the Marvel Universe although it's Wanda (The Scarlet Witch) who ends up in the Hyborian age for now at least. This isn't a self contained adventure and it seems Conan is destined to be a part of the modern MU in a violent version of the Avengers.
As a novelty appearance to promote the return of Conan to Marvel this might be fine but adding him to the MU in an on-going is an overkill. A completist would end up buying Conan weekly as there already three Conan titles being published even if the Age of Conan doesn't actually feature the main man.
The story is straightforward enough though what's up with the Hulk is unknown to me and Nyx is a is a new one on me. The art is terrific though.

The latest issue of the British comic 2000AD hit the stores on Wednesday so if you are interested in jumping on board this is an issue with a complete Judge Dredd story and two new features. Survival Geeks has returned. I am not familiar with this strip but it's quite entertaining especially for those of you who play games.
The other (and extra length) new story is Kingmaker set in a what seems to be a more sinister version of the Shires. There's more than a passing homage to Lord of the Rings in this rather interesting adventure.
And of course there's the continuing Grey Area which I am not a great fan of mainly due to it's untidy art but 2000AD is well worth the price of entry every week!

The new Megazine is also out this week with the conclusion the current Dredd vs plan based attackers. Other adventures include my favourite being Lawless. All continued stories but you should be reading this!
Also with an interview about British girls comics. A lot of these outsold boys one's but seem less well remembered but this a bit of a male dominated hobby though there are plenty of fan-girls around!
