I like how Beyond #6 looks like a set up for another big event in the Marvel Universe.  It was a very interesting story overall.

Also really enjoy how Seven Soldiers is tying into the 52 event.  Maybe after 52 is over the last few pages of Seven Soldiers #1 will make sense.

How is Seven Soldiers tying into 52?

The final pages feature the Shida or however you spell it. That race were the main bad guys of the Seven Soldiers mini’s. 

Maybe I shouldn’t say the two are tied into each other but Morrison worked on both properties so I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t a link a some point.

Surprises?

JSA didn’t hit #1 & Ultimate Vision (or Ultimate anything) didn’t crack top five.

Notes: Spider-Man Reign for all of the buzz didn’t sell-out here. Its a great book. I’ve been pimpin the hell out of it.

Tranquility will jump in position as readers catch on.

Supergirl was one of the best issues of the week with incredible Amanda Conner art.
