R u talking about new mutants
Oh I never saw this b4 I collected The What if Comics though and I have original X-Men 101 also #50 with Polaris also #1 xfactorAges ago I posted a link to getting free comics online--anyway this one came back to me after decades of forgetting all about it; they have Bizarre Adventures from issue 24-34 including this one featuring the X-Men. It's all black and white but really great stories. @ARM you being a die-hard X geek should definitely check it out.
I love shadow cat have whole series with shadowcat and wolverine
illyanna Rasputin My Favorite New Mutant
Kitty Pryde and Wolverine from the 80’s?

First comic I ever bought was #3. Great intense art. A+
I was disappointed by it to. They should have made the first issue extra sized and included the story that is going to be in issue #2 when the FF actually does reunite.
Anyone reading Relay? It's a new futuristic sc-fi book from Aftershock and it is really good. Only three issues have come out so far (#o-#2) and it definitely worth picking up.
Dan Brown? As in, Davinci Code Dan Brown?Anyone reading Relay? It's a new futuristic sc-fi book from Aftershock and it is really good. Only three issues have come out so far (#o-#2) and it definitely worth picking up.
Nah this is Dan Brown the colorist.
Iron Man #3
I liked the first issue of this book but now I am not really feeling it. The only character I give a damn about is Jocasta and I would rather be reading a Jocasta solo comic where her exploration of living in the human world while staying an AI rights advocate. And also delve into why she chose a black woman as the human face she would like to have.
Magic Order #3
People have been shitting on this book since jump but I love it and I am not even a Mark millar fan like that. This issue ratcheted things up several notches.
Justice League #6
Best Justice League book in a long time despite being confusing as fuck with all the cosmic mumbo jumbo.
Pearl #1
Indie vibe, non-superhero comic Bendis has always been my favorite Bendis and the first issue of this book intrigued me enough to want to see more.
Infinity Wars #2
I don't like anything about this book.
Doctor Strange #4
I continue to be surprised by how much I am enjoying this one because I loathe Doctor Strange as a character.
Batman #53
People can hate Tom King's Batman all they want but dude is doing an incredible job diving into the psychological core of Batman/Bruce Wayne. The lengths Bruce has gone through to get on the jury that is deciding Mr. Freeze's fate to make sure Freeze gets acquitted is showing just how messed up the aborted wedding has made Bruce and how it has even started effecting his work as Batman.
And that comparison of Batman to God while Bruce was arguing for a not guilty verdict was deep.
Astonishing X-Men Annual #1
This book showed all the reasons why Beast and Iceman should be moved out of the X-Universe and into the Avengers books and never allowed back. Beast and Iceman are not X-Men characters anymore at their core.
Regardless of how hard writers try to write Beast as being as sufficiently angsty as every other X-character it comes across as hollow and diminishes the character when compared to how he is written outside of the X-books. And Iceman is too damn happy for the X-books. Dude should be on an Avengers team as the wisecracking jokester/comic relief guy instead of being constantly surrounded by the sturm un drang of the X-Men.
And back-from-the-dead Charles Xavier needs to become a Magneto style shades of gray villain because he works so much better in that role based on this one issue.
Extermination #1
Didn't like this one either. The art was good and I was ecstatic with what happened to the stupid alternate dimension vampire Storm but this story feels like a million past X-Men stories all crammed into one unnecessary event.
Aquaman #39
This was a fun one. It is the second part of a crossover between Aquaman and The Suicide Squad (the first part was in last week's Suicide Squad #45 which was hilarious and felt like one of the OG John Ostrander Squad stories).

I thought Extermination was excellent, old school, X-men storytelling. The Blue, Gold, and Red nonsense turns me off. Have one x-team, the New Mutants, and X-Force and call it a day.
I am just so sick of how messed up the X-universe is right now and would have preferred they just spend 2 panels on shipping the young Originals back to wherever they came from and just moved on with things instead of a full blown event series that reads as totally derivative to me..
I took your advice on Relay and really enjoyed it. The ad at the end promoting other Aftershock books promoted me to get Dark Ark by Cullen Bunn. I’m going to dive into it this evening.
I'm not liking the new Doctor Strange direction.
The Magic Order was a pleasant surprise. I think Millar should be writing Doctor Strange.
I never thought of Millar on a Dr. Strange book. I am now eager to see it happen.
Cullen Bunn is one of those guys that I think doesn't get enough praise.
He had a book come out this week for Image called Cold Spots that was pretty good and he wrote the Suicide Squad Annual that also came out this week that was like an issue from the old John Ostrander SS book.
So who bought Batman: Damned this week and were surprised by Bruce Wayne's schlong?
Fillmore/Hydrox
Who me? I’m 6’10” pal!
Does it say on the cover, Suggested for Queer Audiences?
I bought it. Still can only use it on my phone. It’s not on my fire TV yet...
Anybody read Heroes in Crisis?
If you are a fan of 3 specific characters you are likely to be very upset after reading it.
