A+X #10

A + X #10 story number one was the Black Widow and FantomeX in a race to uncover whom or what is collecting DNA samples of all the old Soviet Era super powered people.  The Black Widow is trying to find out if rumors are true that new experiments on people are underway and FantomeX has been hired to steal the DNA database on a laptop.  They encounter several other “supers” and win the day.   This story really could have been expanded to be more than one fight and some vague dialog.  Story number two stars the Scarlet Witch and Domino and while the story was interesting and the resolution very clever.  I seriously could not get past the terrible art style.  Apparently bad anime style is all the rage when presenting a story with two cool strong female characters.  This is a four color comic book and not manga or anime so having characters looking all big eye small mouth just looks horrible.  The bad art design decision just ruins an otherwise good comic.

Cable and X-Force!

Cable and X-Force #4 was rather stupid, this comic started out with a lot of promise but apparently it was destined to be nothing more than yet another whiny it is not my fault X-Men comic.  Oh well not even going to point out what is wrong or how stupid this story has become.  It is yet another comic where heroes cannot get help because well “we can’t tell the authorities (X-men, Avengers, SHIELD)” because they could help fix this mess. 

There sure are a lot of X-men comcis!

Cable and X-Force #1 like many X-comics started out kind of lame. I call it the X-Men whiny. But once past that the story was kind of interesting. It was an interesting way to bring together a father and daughter. I will check out at least the next issue.

X-Treme X-Men 7.1 is another entertaining romp around the Marvel Universe. Now we have Brood, a giant Xavier Skywhale and other fun. I continue to enjoy reading this comic good stuff. It is hard to say more without giving all the fun away.
