This post was unfortunately delayed due to my air conditioner breaking down last weekend. Thankfully it’s under warranty, but with my area under a heat wave, well … it was a significant distraction. Anyway, let’s get to it. The X-Men … Continue reading

Jean Grey 2 review

Since I only picked up four comics this week, I’ll just write a full review for each of them and skip the first impressions post. Now it’s time for Jean Grey 2. In the previous issue, Jean Grey fought the … Continue reading

Death of X 4 review

Well, we now know how Cyclops died. After more than a year of teasers, we finally know. By now it’s too late to even say “finally”. It’s just underwhelming, just like this entire miniseries, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Comics of November 23, 2016

There’s one week left for this year’s Nanowrimo, which means it’s time to really ramp up you’re writing if your prospects for winning are tightening up. For me, I’ve been taking it relatively easy since the 15th, when I finished … Continue reading

Death of X 2 review

The first issue of Death of X was a mixed bag. On the one hand, the Inhumans’ scene was kind of fun. On the other hand, the X-Men half of the story is the perfect example of everything that’s going … Continue reading

Death of X 1 review

Ever since Marvel kicked off all their post-Secret Wars titles, we’ve been told that Cyclops is dead but we’ve never been told how. That’s almost a full year of not knowing what happened and it’s been a bit frustrating. Enter … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 12 review

From what I’ve heard, Uncanny X-Men’s Apocalypse Wars tie-in was pretty good. I know that All-New X-Men’s 3-issue arc did a great job exploring Apocalypse’s childhood in ways we haven’t seen before, while also giving Evan a lot to think … Continue reading

X-Men: Civil War II 2 review

As an X-men fan, I’m saddened to see that none of the franchises team books are all that special right now. Extraordinary X-Men is slow, dull and way too depressing for a flagship title. All-New X-Men has its moments and … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 10 review

This series frustrates me. On the one hand, Extraordinary X-Men’s writer Jeff Lemire is capable of great storytelling. His All-New Hawkeye run was short but effective, and it feels like a complete story. His Old Man Logan run is very … Continue reading
