★★ Another day, another X-Men movie. After Days of Future Past effectively rebooted the entire series by rewriting the future, the series comes full circle by bringing back a bunch of familiar superpowers in teenage form -- Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel, Nightcrawler, and Storm. X-Men: Apocalypse trailers begged answers for the questions: Who will join the... Continue Reading →
Prepare yourselves for war! Again! Hot off the heels of a Civil War movie -- which, in turn, was based very loosely on the comic crossover of the same name -- comes Civil War Part Dos #1. Written by Brian Michael Bendis with beautifully rendered panels from artist David Marquez and colorist Justin Ponsor, the... Continue Reading →
Ultimate Dr. Doom's energy blast sure has a lot of kick. All-New X-Men #35 ended just as Miles Morales launched a sudden attack on Doom only to be countered by a devastating blast. Issue #36 continues from that super-ultra-combo finisher with a double-page spread of the Doctor surveying his victory. Two sets of X-Men and... Continue Reading →
All-New X-Men #30 takes a break from the norm to develop and work on some character-to-character issues. Picking up at the swell of a whirlwind romance between Laura Kinney and Warren Worthington III after a night of clubbing and, well, clubbing (literally!), the two go through an impromptu DTR that challenges their notions of each other, especially...

During the Battle of the Atom crossover, one of the questions that lacked a critical answer was: What made the future Brotherhood of Evil Mutants so angry? Last issue, we got some real answers as Xavier's origin story was revealed along with the beginnings of his partnership with his half-brother Raze. Without a father to teach him... Continue Reading →
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s missiles rain down on the X-Men below in Battle of the Atom #2, the conclusion to this year's crossover, pitting various X-Men teams from different times in a battle against each other.

A few years into the future -- a future in which the classic X-Men have not returned to their original time -- Jean Grey persuades Disco Dazzler Alison Blair to run for President of the United States of America. It's not like Grey hasn't ever put a thought... Continue Reading →
Try saying this all in one breath. The future X-Men have come back through time to correct the current X-Men's mistake of bringing the classic X-Men into the present in All-New X-Men #16, the second chapter of the Battle of the Atom crossover event. Professor Charles Xavier's grandson Xavier, Deadpool, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, Beast, and... Continue Reading →
Probably the biggest reason X-Men fans should pick up the All-New X-Men series is Jean Grey. Though she's died several times -- at least three by my count -- Grey, aka Marvel Girl, has a special place in the hearts of comic readers the world over. When All-New X-Men launched, it was a chance for... Continue Reading →
This issue focuses heavily on young Scott Summers and his current confusion. While I have enjoyed the last few issues of All-New X-Men. I'm curious as to when it will occur to writer, Brian Michael Bendis, that there are typically problems interacting with ones younger self as Hank, Bobby, Scott and Warren have just done....
