Review: X-Men: Prelude To Schism #2
Issue one gave us a tale of Xavier reminiscing about how much Scott Summers has grown over the years.

What has his “family”…

Review: Uncanny X-Force #10
*Warning: Spoilers* I’m not going to pull any punches — this was a set-up issue, plain and simple! And it was damn good!

Review: Uncanny X-Force #9
Issue nine of Remender's outstanding run, takes a break from the high octane, banter filled stories to give most of the team a well deserved breather – as I said – most of the team! With great trepidation, the team stays behind as Wolverine takes the spotlight and does a favor for none other than…

Review: Moon Knight #1 (Bendis & Maleev)
The band of Bendis and Maleev is once again together to bring us a character that has had more re-launches than schizophrenic identities over the years.
