Bunch of reviews, I'll do them in the format of:

I liked such and such, BUT these other things stunk.

Or,

Such and such stunk, BUT that's ok because of these other things.

Amazing Spider-Man #508
End of the Ezekiel and stories I was really excited about, BUT the payoff was a huge disappointment in my opinion.

Authority #13
The story's confusing and I doubt I would have been pleased no matter the outcome BUT Ed Brubaker will be on this book soon which I think is great.

Daredevil #61
Seems like they retconned a lot of the recent Daredevil stuff by sweeping it aside, BUT Alex Maleev draws a great Black Widow.

Ex Machina #1
Haven't read it yet, BUT all the other Vaughan stuff I've read recently is great. (I'll add an update after reading)

Fantastic Four #514
The Frightful Four seems like a good concept, strong villains, BUT I don't know anything about FF continuity and it's sort of confusing.

JLA: Another Nail #2
Haven't read it yet, BUT the other 4 issues in this world were great. (I'll add an update after reading)

JSA #62
This story didn't really hold my interest, BUT the Spectre always confuses and bores me.

Ultimate Fantastic Four #7
Warren Ellis gives a great intro to Doom BUT I can't help but think this will be another long dragged out story.

Ultimate Spider-Man #61
Intriguing story BUT do we really need to make "Ultimate" versions of everything in the "regular" Marvel Universe?

Ultimate X-Men #47
More alternate versions of tons of X-characters (see Ultimate Spider-man) BUT Vaughan also creates more character interaction in this issue than perhaps in any of the previous 46 issues.

Wolverine #16
The Native story is kinda boring BUT there's a ton of action and some great Robertson art in this one.

Wolverine: The End #4
I don't know why they felt they needed this to tie in so closely with Origin BUT I'll give it another chance once I re-read both Origin and this series in full.

X-Men #158
More weird characterization from Chuck Austen BUT for the first time in a long time, I read one of his issues without wanting to vomit afterwards.
