pullbox special edition: X-Men line info from C2E2

onefinemess | April 19, 2010

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 [...]

07/15/09 comic notes

onefinemess | July 15, 2009

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.  [...]

re: War of Kings #4 and other comic randomness

onefinemess | June 3, 2009

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 [...]

X-Men: Kingbreaker #4

onefinemess | March 27, 2009

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 [...]

Pullbox for 02/18/09

onefinemess | February 18, 2009

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 [...]

Storm & Vixen

onefinemess | January 15, 2009

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 [...]

Inferno, redux?

onefinemess | July 22, 2008

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 [...]

05/22/08 – thoughts for the week

onefinemess | May 22, 2008

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 [...]

04/17/08 – Conquest’s end and other odds

onefinemess | April 17, 2008

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 [...]

01/23/08 – Messiah Complications

onefinemess | January 23, 2008

X-Men 207 First off, let’s get that cover gallery out of the way! What cover gallery you ask? Why a recap of all 13 Messiah Complex covers of course! Yes, some (all?) had variants, but except for a few cases I couldn’t find all the variants within the time frame I’ve allotted myself, so one [...]
