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 [...]

So, a couple months back this teaser on the left was floated. On the right is the reveal. So, I called them all except Angel, and only because I saw a quote about Angel being “the last person they would want on this team”. That will teach me to listen to even pretty direct denials. [...]

X-Force 26 : Let’s just get this one out of the way first, because it should be the main marvel book talked about this week. Yes, an X-Man died and yes it was exactly who you should have expected, based on all the blatant foreshadowing and illogical heroicness. No, I don’t think it was necessary [...]

There was a bunch of X-Men related news at C2E2 this weekend, so here’s an even more condensed version of what’s up at CBR. X-Force to end and relaunch. Sounds like “Wolverine’s X-Men” meets Secret Warriors. Teaser image below. The guy on the right looks clearly to be Fantomex, it’s suggested in the article that [...]

I’m going to do things a little different this time. I’m writing each mini-review immediately after reading the issue in question. Breaking in between, etc. Not that you care. It was a pretty big week for comics. Several books that I was/am really looking forward too. Basically everything except the X-Men Forever issue – which [...]

re: Dark X-Men : The Beginning 3: Once upon a time, a great creative team made Jean Grey interesting as the Phoenix, then killed her, ending that arc wonderfully. Then Marvel thought it would be fun to do again, and again, and again. Each time it is less interesting, and more likely to make me [...]

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 [...]

& 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 [...]

I get it, but it’s still stupid. I love how the writers are willing to kill heroes, yet they are resurrecting villains left and right. KILL SOME FUCKING VILLAINS ALREADY!! Kill the ones you resurrected for starters. Sigh.

I really like that we finally have Arcangel/Death back. It was almost worth having every obnoxious villain that the X-Men actually managed to “finally” get rid of ressurected. Almost. Maybe the writers & editors finally realized what I’ve been saying for many years now – what the hell is a guy with feathery wings going [...]
