regurgitate

oh hell, why not?

with the current X-brain trust going retro by digging into past playbooks (Legacy Virus, Archangel, Hellfire Club, Shadow King, etc), why not The Right? Cameron Hodge already made an appearance.

with past issues also hinting of a future storyline with Magik (whose presence practically negated my love for Uncanny X-Men #303), we could be seeing the lovable demons S'ym and N'astirh soon. and don't forget Mojo, why don'tcha? and the X-babies! and the Thieves Guild! and the Mutant Liberation Front!

plus, we're waiting for Kitty Pryde to be resurrected so Peter won't go off the deep end again!!!

X-Force #9

green justice

spinning off the main JLA title, James Robinson and Mauro Cascioli's Justice League hits the stands in 2009, led by a couple of old stalwarts along with some new faces, and having them go after their deadlier foes (revamped X-Force, anyone?).

according to the Wizard Magazine report, the team is brought together by a death of a DC character (Dan DiDio?) and want to mete out frontier justice rather than sitting on the sidelines and waiting for shoes to drop. the choice of team leaders are a little weird for me: liberal leftist Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) and original space cop Hal Jordan (its been 15 years since Hal went nuts, maybe its an anniversary thing). but its nice to see both of them working together for the new generation.

anyway, with a simian on board, all bets are off. Congorillaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

oh gog you devil

cliffhanger of the week!



we've been waiting for months for the other shoe to drop, and now its two inches off the ground. if things seem too good to be true, they always are.

and this one is classic ... ally bad:

well, will we see Kitty Pryde doing it with Piotr? or Jeannie and Scotty?

the killing time

cliffhangers of the week!

riding high on their laurels post-Secret Invasion, the T-Bolts go for a much vaunted target: Moon Knight!

ahhhhh ... screw it. like either of them is really gonna end up dead.

Moon Knight #24
Mike Benson/Mark Texeira/Javier Saltares/Dan Brown/Joe Caramagna


the fight to control Wolverine's long-lost son hurtles towards its conclusion with the kid about to throw down with his pop.


X-Men: Legacy #218
Mike Carey/Scot Eaton/Andrew Hennessy/Jason Keith/Brian Reber/Cory Petit


what? another Bullseye sighting? Norman Osborn cleans house, and sics his most ethics-challenged dogs to do it. if Bullseye doesn't get to really whack anyone next issue, that makes him only good for killing Goliath Skrulls. his stock is really plummeting like the stock market. if you want to hire a hitman, you'd be better off hiring the Punisher.

her slicing technique would be great on Food Network's Iron Chef America.



just in case she's gender-considerate ... ummm, actually no.



Go Go Yubari? The Bride? they're Barbie Dolls. this one's the real deal.
