Continuity

Cable #5

Monday, July 7th, 2008

After four issues of retreat, Cable decides to stand and face Bishop, but the results of the clash aren’t anywhere near as conclusive as might have been expected. Both Swierczynski and Olivetti have noticeably raised their game during this first arc, but a number of problems make this issue a rather uncomfortable read.
That’s not to [...]

X-Men #207

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

It’s all over! Best post-Morrison X-Men story ever! (and a lot better than most pre-Morrison X-Men stories too.)
It’s fair to say that a lot of recent Marvel crossovers have dropped the ball in the final act, whether we’re talking the dead-end plots of of House of M and The Other, the hastily rewritten garbage of One More [...]

X-Men: Post-Messiah Complex Speculation

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

We don’t usually do much in terms of new updates here, but since the April 2008 Marvel Solicits have just been released, and in light of all the secrecy over the casts of various titles, I couldn’t help noticing this Greg Land X-Men poster (top image below, click to enlarge)

Colossus, Frost, Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and [...]

New X-Men #46

Monday, January 21st, 2008

An incredibly odd title comes to an incredibly odd end as the penultimate and otherwise unremarkable part of a crossover. I have to admit, were I a big fan of New X-Men, I might feel a bit short changed. As it is, I can’t get too worked up, not least because the rumours of a [...]

X-Factor #27

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Chapter eleven of thirteen, and I have to admit I’m starting to get a bit worried about where the Predator-X story is going. It’s supposedly been tracking the “messiah” baby, to the point where its masters pointed the Predator at the mansion and it just ran the other way to find it, so… why is it now [...]

Uncanny X-Men #494

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Well, it wasn’t Predator-X who stopped Bishop, but instead the Marauders made their re-appearance at a fortuitous moment, taking the baby for themselves. This is the first time it’s significantly changed hands during the arc, and presumably signifies the point of the final chapter - rescuing the baby from the Marauders.
At this point, I’m wondering [...]
