One splash, as expected, and lots of unexpected goodness. Good times. X-Factor 50 delivered on at least 85% of what was expected – and there was a lot riding on it, so I’ll call it good. It may actually be closer to 100%, but the final sequence with Doom and what?whereishe? left me confused. If [...]

X-Force 1 7: I’m debating putting this title back on my pull list. It’s a tough call. I mean, it’s basically Academy X->New X-Men->X-Force as far as the writers plots go, and the big Selene thing is coming up (which will be when everyone else that wasn’t just resurrected IS I suspect), but eh, I [...]

Guardians of the Galaxy 10 – Still fueled by awesomesauce. The lineup continues to fluctuate, and I continue to hope Starlord will get some kind of power/tech upgrade. Rocket Raccoon at least has racoon-like speed and agility! Or some shit. Young X-Men 10 – I figured I’d pick up the last 3 issues…just because I’ve [...]

Man, I feel really bad for the ..whatever that guys’ name is. Obviously he’ll be back in some form or another – the cube ring is doing something. Didn’t he get his ring rather unscrupuluously? Still, he “learned what it means to be a hero”, so I have to feel bad for the guy.

So sad! Great writing. Consistently one of the top books Marvel puts out every month. I suggest checking it out if you’ve been holding out.

So I somehow managed to go almost a month without picking anything up. Here’s what was in my box: Avengers: Initiative 15: I love this title. We get a solidifying of Crusader’s status (although he royally fucked up by driving 3D off…) and some Gauntlet action. Please don’t cancel this book Marvel. I think I [...]

There was yet another Avengers title in my box: Avengers: The Initiative 14: Unlike Hannibal Tabu, I really enjoyed this issue. In fact, I may actually read it again (pssst, that’s really high praise from me, I rarely read something more than once inside 5 years). While I agree that Triathlon’s (sp?) sudden moniker change [...]

Annihilation: Conquest 6 (OK, I didn’t buy this one yet, but I’m grabbing that hardcover as soon as it’s out!) It’s been a while since a crossover title was actually somewhat required reading for a mini – and I don’t mind it once in a while. As long as they don’t overuse the gimmick, it’s [...]

Astonishing X-Men 24 that is. What should have been the final issue of Whedon’s run (and this volume apparently) has been stretched out into Giant Size #1 due out in what, June? Meh. Since they are restarting the numbering, they should have just called the giant size #25 and been done with it. Meh. As [...]

And it wasn’t really anything all that special, but there was some good stuff. Avengers: Initiative #8 This title hasn’t failed to impress yet. More madcap happenings both above and below ground at super-hero-u. Clone more MVPs you say? That sounds like a brilliant idea! And yet, nothing ever works out quite that well does [...]
