EDITOR’S NOTE: This week we continue our Holiday theme as I assigned our stable (pun intended) of SBC reviewers to evaluate any Christmas-themed comic book they desired.
“The Golden Child: Part 3” Keith Dallas The third issue of Marvel Team-Up proves that this title isn’t going to be a series of unconnected and arbitrary “one-shots.
Have you considered giving a comic book as a Christmas or holiday gift to someone who isn’t a comic book reader? What is your motivation for such a gift? To convince someone that the comic book medium can be a serious and mature form of entertainment? To turn someone into a devoted comic book reader? I asked our reviewers to recommend a comic book gift to non-comic book readers and of course, they had to explain their selections.
“The Ring of Truth: Chapter Three” Bob Agamemnon Plot : The three-way confrontation between Agent 355 (Yorick’s protector), Hero (his sister), and Anna Strong (of the mysterious and almost certainly insidious Setauket Ring) is brought to a climax, but not resolved.
“Golden Age” (Part 2) Bob Agamemnon Plot : The reasons behind former Kingpin Alexander Bont’s vendetta against Matt Murdock are revealed as Bont makes use of Melvin Potter (the Gladiator) to exact his revenge.
Nowadays how CAN’T comic book readers communicate with each other? Unless one’s computer lacks the ability to access the internet (is that still possible?), the comic book enthusiast can learn quite quickly and easily through dozens of fan sites and official publisher sites what fellow enthusiasts think of a particular comic book, what comic books will be published in upcoming months, and the history of comic book publishing, among other topics.
"Chaos: Part Four" Andrew Burlinson Brian Michael Bendis and company bring the “Avengers Disassembled” event to a close with this week’s Avengers #503.

I find it interesting to see which comic book professionals get mentioned by website reviewers and message board posters in their praise or condemnation of an issue.
“Chaos, Part Three of Four” Jason Cornwell Plot: As a small army of former Avengers cluster around the ruins of the Avengers Mansion, we see this collection of heroes is on hand when the place comes under attack from a full scale assault by a Kree invasion.
