The full spread: Breakdowns: Since Fantomex was the final reveal, the only surprise here is that Wolverine is not on the cover – I’d assume he’s still on the team? If not, it might be a bit more interesting. AoA Nightcrawler was the only real curveball, and I think he was the first reveal. Looks [...]

X-Factor 204: Ok, no one thinks those last panels reflect something that actually happened, right? At worst – two dupes in costume, I suppose? Still, hell of a morbid note to end on. It got me thinking about how different comics are these days. So much visible death and blood. Well, I suppose that’s what [...]

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 [...]

The good: Daredevil 500: Wow. Shit actually happens. One thing I give the DD crew props for is that they are not afraid to bend the status quo over and show it who’s the boss. Matt running the Hand? In a country where Osborn is the good guy? That actually has some legs. X-Factor 48: [...]

Uncanny X-Men 513: This Utopia thing is DUMB. Emma and Scott “breaking up” or whatever is dumb. It makes me suspect they’re bringing Jean back again (also dumb). Oh Matt Fraction, wherefor art thou and wtf? At least in only lasts 2 months. By the way, Norman Osborn is also dumb and obnoxious and annoying. [...]

& other assorted comics chatter: Iron Fist 27: Yes, Danny Rand/Iron Fist will also be a father soon, following in his perennial buddy, Luke Cage/Power Man’s footsteps. Also of note, and implied by my goofy title, is that the mother of said child (and soon to be wife of Danny) is Misty Knight. Now. This [...]

Uncanny X-Men 508: OK. Now that it’s been “confirmed” that the Red Queen is, in fact, NOT actually Madelyn Pryor (just stolen & animated her corpse I guess) I’m more interested. Maddie was played out. Her corpse..not so much I guess. Which means that cover I mentioned could actually be showing the Red Queen in [...]

was very good. and very sad. and I have no idea where it’s going now. You should pick it up – although the resonance won’t be near as strong if you haven’t been a long-time reader. Seriously, this thing has been brewing since nearly the beginning of the series. Ouch. I’ll be cutting my pullbox [...]

God, Greg Land’s “pencils” are so fucking annoying I can’t enjoy the issue. I keep seeing the same faces over and over and over again on different characters – mostly women – he really, really, really cannot draw women as individuals…I guess, something like that. Many of them still have his horrible “porn star” swipe [...]
