    X-Men Forever #3, Wolverine #49 and Giant Size X-Men

    That fire chicken is really seeding their way into the narrative as things HEAT UP in X-Men Forever. Hope's past, present and future are in question - I can barely wait to find out what happens! Wolverine is gearing up for the final battle as character threads get tended to and set up. Giant Size X-Men gives us a unique Angel story that challenges his vision of himself as a hero. Plus the X-Corp have waves of plans! This is only step one!!

    X-Men #34, Invincible Iron Man #18, Cable #4 and a couple of Bubs' Books

    The end feels like it's closer than ever. We're one month away until last call at The Green Lagoon. As mutants take their last stand, some aren't given the ending we thought they were working for. Some get to team up with otherwise known enemies. And some continue to fight themselves into side quest shenanigans. But we've got Wolverine! In more books than you know what to do with, in more ways than you ever thought possible. Never the end...

    X-Men Forever #2, RotPoX #4, Wolverine #48 and Avengers #13

    X-Men Forever #2, RotPoX #4, Wolverine #48 and Avengers #13

    The issue numbers are getting higher, the stories are starting to wrap and we're just trying to keep up with the concepts! Holy high brow sci-fi y'all! Some much needed exposition on how we got where we are, but still a lot how and why questions on the table. Do we think the Sentinels actually trust this dude? Because nobody else does. We take things a little slower in this issue of Wolverine as the finale comes in hot. What do you think about that suit of armor? How's he even doing that? Plus the Avengers kick robot but and it's simply beautiful. We talk the Wolverine Legends story from way back when and of course everyone's favorite scroller, X-Men Unlimited!

    Fall of the House of X #4 and Dead X-Men #4

    Fall of the House of X #4 and Dead X-Men #4

    Woah Charles... umm... you good? Feels like the Professor has gone off the rails and is trying a page from someone else's book. We don't know where he got it from, but it is NOT on brand with the rest of the X-Men! The Fall out continues as Apocalypse does some self-care work with Krakoa. Over on the Dead X-Men's journey, they stand up for the dream, for the reality, for the right to live their lives. It's interesting to see the students stand up for a dream that seems to have been lost by its dreamer. On X-Men Unlimited the X-Corps team are killing it! And they're ready to be done with this External nonsense.

    Resurrection of Magneto #4, Wolverine #47, Ms Marvel #2 and Iron Man #17 PLUS MORE!

    Resurrection of Magneto #4, Wolverine #47, Ms Marvel #2 and Iron Man #17 PLUS MORE!

    We took a page out of Magneto's book and recorded our way - which basically means a smash and grab catch up to plow through 7 (!?) books. A stack of four Fall of X books - I use that term loosely, Ms Marvel - as we highlight the fight from various standpoints. Magneto has entered the chat and Orchis doesn't know how to deal. The Wolverine and Sabretooth matchup meets a breaking point on two fronts for male and female users of the names. Ms. Marvel takes things to the EXTREME with Mojo and Lila in space. And good old Tony wrestling with his demons and trusting the enemy. Plus we do a full sweep of our X-tra X-Men books with '97, Weapon and Ultimate.

    X-Men #33 and The Avengers #12

    X-Men #33 and The Avengers #12

    Take the fight to Orchis! It seems like everyone got the memo this week (Cable callback) and is bringing the fight to Orchis' door. Except the opponents are throwing it right back as they respond to the top brass of team books with even more robotic muscle. A Tale of Two Cities!
