Astonishing-X-Men

[caption id=“attachment_470” align=“alignleft” width=“197” caption=“FF #14”] [/caption] FF #14 - This issue continues where the last one left off with the kids, Doom, and Grey Reed facing off against The Celestials. It also indirectly leads right into Fantastic Four #602. Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 #46 - The issue wavers in quality, but continues to tell a promising story. Batman: The Dark Knight Vol 2 #5 - I really came close to hating this story. It’s once again using a similar plot as a Batman issue from the same month and not doing it in a compelling way Justice League Vol 2 #5 - It’s still a middle-of-the-road book. I’m awaiting the end of this story arc. X-Men Legacy #261 - this issue does what I wish the Cyclops books (Uncanny, X-Me, etc) would do - advance the characters lives, emotions, etc in addition to having some action elements [caption id=“attachment_471” align=“alignright” width=“197” caption=“Secret Avengers #21.1”] [/caption] ...

This week was a very small release for me, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have some fun titles to read. It was a bit X-Men week, that’s for sure! I had 3 explicit X-Men books and Avengers: Children’s Crusade features them quite heavily as well.

Also, some information about Hope is divulged. Pretty good issue although it depends on how much you like Sinister’s rants. Avengers: Children’s Crusade #8 - Things continue to get complicated in the mini-series that’s bringing Scarlett Witch back into everyone’s life. Teen Titans Vol 4 #4 - The battle gets started, but just barely. Next issue will have the real face-off Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 #45 - This story arc starts getting really interesting. I think next issue’s going to prove pretty exciting X-Men Legacy #260 - Mike Carey ends his run and this arc. It’s going to be a different book starting next issue. Batman: The Dark Knight Vol 2 #4 - this issue has good and bad parts but it’s still not a great case for why there are so many Batman titles
