This week, we review the latest in a solid run of leading Marvel women, America #1. On the opposite end, we take a look at Vertigo's Savage Things as well. Other books discussed include Hawkeye, The Killer, Quantum Teens Are Go, Doppelganger, Paper Girls, and Nailbiter.

Elsewhere, we welcome the return of Ales Kot to comic books, discuss CBR's top 15 best Image titles of the last five years, and run through the recent news of comic film and TV adaptations.

Next week's Debut Review:

• Redline #1 (Oni Press) - MARS. The near future-ish. A bomb takes out a city block on Harrison Station. The media rush to blame the local terrestrials (re:aliens,) however Superintendent Denton Coyle has a feeling that it may not be so simple... or maybe that feeling is Coyle's hangover gut bomb. It's unclear... like a 50/50 shot, it's a mistake or explosive diarrhea. Maybe it's both? In other words, it's yet another Tuesday on Mars.
