So all the covers are up, and some of them are a bit confusing. I’d almost think I’m too old to weigh in on stuff like this – but these would have been some deep questions when I was 12, so I guess inner 12 year old me has something to say. Let’s just go [...]

Alright, now that the rosters (at least for the initial covers) for the post-Schism/ReGenesis/whatever blue team(s) are out, here are my thoughts (because I know you care): Here’s the full cover-merge spread: And the breakdown/zooms: I have to say that I’m really not feeling Shaw anywhere in an X-Book. I never found him to have [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Ouch. I actually wasn’t expecting that. It makes sense – no one really cares about her anymore I suppose. But still. Well played. Poor Gladiator. What else? Oh, Batman & Robin has lots of potential, in that wild Morrison & Quitely way. I suspect it will be a great ride, and then collapse into itself [...]

was some the shit yar. AKA Starjammers v4.3 or so. The thing with Havok and the star guy…CLASSIC. Some major shake-ups, a direct lead in the no-I-won’t-link-it probably return of Jean Grey, good action scenes and another original Starjammer potentially dead (although I suspect he’ll return as some warped hybrid before too long). Ch’od loses [...]

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 [...]

This is a crosspost from my comic blog, since most of my (few!) readers don’t read it, but I thought you might find it worth reading here: Is it intentional or just coincidence that both big companies have decently promoted (as far as I can tell) limited series running now with their main/only long-term black [...]

Rumor has it that Marvel will be re-visiting Inferno somehow. At least that’s my interpretation of the fire hydrant crack (I haven’t figured out the “He wasn’t even supposed to be there.” headline yet….thoughts?) I’m not sure how I feel about this. OK, I’m sure that I feel unsure about it – how’s that? I [...]

X-Men – Divided We Stand 2: Wow, what a piece of shit these two one-shots turned out to be huh? The Beast story is the best written, and I like that it brought the disembodied brain (Martha?) back. Seeing as how it was written by Mike Carey though, it should at least be decent (although [...]
