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 not [...]

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 is [...]

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 to [...]

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 forgot [...]

OK, so I saw a blurb somewhere from one of the conventions that the Death of the New Gods did happen and “all will be revealed” about this giant new retcon. I’m curious at least, but not much more than that.
Rann-Thanagar Holy War 2 – This was surprisingly good – much like …Journey into [...]

Secret Invasion 2 – It was ok, but nothing stellar. It seemed like there was a lot more that could have been done here. I’m thinking Mockingbird is a Skrull, just because the way Hawk accepted her back was way too easy/cheesy. I’ve heard the rumors of the death toll starting out next issue with [...]

Black Panther 34
I bought this one just for the kick-ass Larocca cover.
But the story is not tooo bad. Some people might have issues with the whole “FF meets Malcolm X AND MLK” thing, but it’s really No Big Deal (TM). Remember when Kirk & Spock met Lincoln & that Vulcan dude? It’s [...]
