In this volume, Cyclops’ team finishes out their forced sojourn to Limbo, deal with one of their own quitting the team, lock horns with S.H.I.E.L.D., and take down a new-model Sentinel at a pro-mutant rally.  So there’s a lot going on here in the six issues collected here even if their quality is somewhat uneven. […]

I can’t say that there was a whole lot of comics news that grabbed my attention coming out of Comic-Con this year.  However, we were told in advance that Marvel would be unleashing their plans for “Star Wars” at the convention and they did not disappoint.  Their announcements regarding the titles and the creative teams […]

That’s one more Comic-Con down.  Even though the con was insanely packed as usual, it still felt pretty manageable to me.  Maybe that’s because I’ve made it a habit to stay away from the craziness of the Hall H and Ballroom 20 lines and focus more on panels geared towards comic creators.  Of course, it […]

As I write this, in the last few days we’ve been hit with announcements of an all-new female Thor, Sam Wilson stepping into the role of Captain America and the “Superior Iron Man.”  All of these announcements were either made through a major media outlet or got some form of attention outside of the usual […]

It’s not being advertised as such, but October is turning out to be a big month for new #1 issues from DC Comics.  We’ve got the start of the weekly “Earth 2:  World’s End” series spinning out of its parent title.  Having not read “Earth 2” (yet), I can say that the most notable thing […]

Garth Ennis was a featured guest at Comic-Con three years ago and his directorial debut was spotlighted at two of the panels I saw him at.  Called “Stitched,” it featured the survivors of a downed Black Hawk chopper trying to make their way through a desolate part of Afghanistan.  Along the way they encounter some […]

Now that the threat to the universe from “Infinity” is over, the Illuminati can get back to addressing the ongoing collapse of the multiverse.  Though the second volume of this series was deeply tied to that crossover, it still managed to advance the ongoing threat of the incursions of other Earths into the 616 Marvel […]

“The men involved in his wife’s death must now die.  All of them.” That description of this title from the back cover of its collection suggests a purity of purpose that appeals to me.  Instead of putting a fancy or even needlessly complicated spin on the standard revenge tale, writer Justin Jordan tells you exactly […]
