Two quick bits

I had to work last night, so I only managed to get through two comics:

Mighty Avengers # 14: Brian Bendis adds a new chapter in his fan fiction Sentry story, and I liked it, probably the first time that's happened. I didn't really care for the original mini-series (though I do love me some Jae Lee), and his usage since then has ranged from trivial to inappropriate to "How do we end this...ooh..have the Sentry come to the rescue!" I was kind of hoping he'd be a Skrull (spoiler, I guess?) because he's such a nothing character. Still, I did like this issue, especially since it gave more weight to the light Secret Invasion #2. I still don't like Khoi Pham that much, but the writing seems to be getting better since Frank Cho left, so that's nice.

X-Men: Divided We Stand #2: Judging by sales numbers, people really don't care for anthology series. Me, I love them. It gives writers and artists a chance to work on characters (or experiment with styles) that they wouldn't otherwise get to try. These two issues have acted mostly as a prequel to Young X-Men, which is okay, I guess, and no particular story is particularly strong, but on the whole it's a pretty good collection. Plus, some of the art (especially Frazier Irving and whoever did the Forge story) is just...pretty.
