Comic Book Review: NYX #5

by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief Remember when the New Mutants met the Hellions back in 1983’s New Mutants #16? Empath and Hellion were jerks way back then. In NYX #5, they are still jerks, just on a bigger scale.  Official Description:They’ve…

Advance Review: X-Men #1 (From the Ashes Launch)

Since 1963, the adventures of the marvelous mutants known as the Uncanny X-Men have amazed readers of all ages. Their decades of adventures have taken us far from Charles Xavier’s mansion as our heroes continued to explore the Marvel Universe and find their way in a world that feared and hated them. With each new evolution of the comics came a new sense of hope and wonder, and the recent Krakoan Age managed to provide a completely out-of-the-box take on these characters and give them something new to fight for. As the baton passes once again to new editorial leadership, the time has come for the X-Men to start over with the launch of the new “From the Ashes” era. All this leads us to today’s highly anticipated launch of X-Men #1 from Marvel Comics.

Comic Book Review: Jean Grey #1

ComicsOnline predicts: “The Fall of X will be one of the darkest and unpredictable periods of X-Men History.” Christal Kennedy of ComicsOnline gives Jean Grey #1 4 out of 5 mind mazes.

Comic Book Review: Alpha Flight #1

The northern branch of Fall of X seems to be shaping up well with “On Guard For Thee”.  Ed Brisson and Scott Godlewski have a handle on the history and are integrating the Alpha Flight characters well into the current X-Event.

Comic Book Review: Uncanny Avengers #1

Captain America knows fascism when he smells it. Captain Canada and his cronies in Alpha Flight may be willing to knuckle under, at least superficially, but the guy with the A on his head isn’t taking this lying down AND PUBLIC OPINION POLLS DON’T FACTOR IN! Uncanny Avengers Assemble!
