pickA new group of teens with powers similar to the original X-Men emerges. They are not mutants, but humans wielding alien technology. Can they work as a team against real threats? Can they gain the acceptance of their heroes? A fun addition to the X books, and a new wrinkle in the always simmering conflict between human and mutantkind.
so-soThe Scarlet Witch is dead. Murdered. In Krakoa, the mutant homeland.
Her father, Magneto, is the prime suspect. Did he kill his own daughter? Will she stay dead? This is a comic book… so…
This story is akin to a courtroom drama set in the sphere of superhero opinion. As such, there is a lot of recrimination and blame laying. Not much action.
pickIn this mini-series, comics veteran Louise Simonson takes us on a whirlwind tour of Jean Grey's most pivotal decisions. What if Jean had acted differently? This was really fun and you can read it even if you aren't caught up on X-Men.
so-soI love almost everything by Kieron Gillen, but this volume of Immortal X-Men is badly hampered by the need for lots of exposition explaining stuff from Sins of Sinister. Also, Mother Righteous is a terrible charactet. I did like the scenes between Sinister and Xavier.
I was 15 pages into the book when I had the thought that you're not supposed to know what kid grows up to be Wolverine, lol
Really enjoying the art, so pretty 😍😍

pickThe frantic multiverse travels of Dead X-men is enjoyable, although too high stakes to be fun. I read this based on the team make-up. So if you like Jubilee, Rachel, Cannonball, Dazzler, Frenzy and Prodigy you might like this. (I will never understand Prodigy‘s power. Someone explain it to me.)
