Extraordinary X-Men #3 Review

Extraordinary X-Men #3

The bonds of time in space and even other dimensions aren’t going to be enough to keep the mutants from re-uniting, all these and more in pages of Extraordinary X-Men number #3. Let’s hop in and see what happens next, shall we? The comic opens up in the mysterious X-Haven, only it’s not so mysterious anymore. Turns out, Storm and the rest of the teachers to avoid human violence against mutants decided to move the entire school inside Limbo and while the real estate might be to die for the neighbors and their little ornery mainly because their Demons are now attacking the school. Storm and Iceman do everything they can to turn the tide of the battle but this is a very losing proposition right now. Everyone else in X-Haven is either untrained or too sick to fight the Demon horde.

From there we transit over to Logan who is having a meet-up with Jean Grey of Earth-TRN240 for the first time. Shockingly these two actually have a lot in common seeing as they are both displaced, one from the time and one from is their own Universe. Logan goes on to say he actually is probably doing less damage sitting around here and now the young Jean seeing him realizing as the Wolverine that died in this timeline wasn’t actually him. She tries to get Logan to join up with the rest of the X-Men as they could really use all the help they could get right about now. And doing so, she probes her mind and sees the horrible event of Old Man Logan, how he was tricked by Mysterio to killing all the other members of the X-Men, the Hulk-Gang and his family etcetera.

Old Man's Tragedy

Back in the Limbo, the turn of fight starts to turn into our heroes favor as the little girl that Illyana saved from India named Sapna, seems to have the amazing power to manipulate the Demons of Limbo and have them moved to her will, which is pretty cool but also pretty terrifying at the same time. Iceman also takes this opportunity to get creative. It seems that he’s created an army of sentient snow men who will follow his every command. This is interesting too because we saw the evil version of the Iceman from the future using similar powers to create ice-doubles. Well, technically the evil one was an ice-double here.

Reign in Limbo

Logan finally breaks down, reveals to young Jean why he’s refused to join the X-Men and surprisingly itself, it’s out of fear. You see, he killed his world’s X-Men and he thinks that the Universe will punish him by course-correcting and having him killed in this world’s X-Men as well if he ends up getting too close to them. Jean fires back by saying all these guilt in destiny stuff is nothing but some bullsh*t and if she’s not afraid to join the team even though every version of Jean Grey has died while being part of the X-Men, then he shouldn’t be afraid either.

Destiny and Fate!

Storm and the other teachers make a valiant effort to get all the displaced mutants into the X-Mansion safe rooms underneath but despite their very best efforts it’s clear that this battle is most certainly lost. Storm gets pinned down by one of the Demons during the battle and she hears Professor Charles Xavier telling her to get up and fight, then sees him either in an illusion or vision. That is until the cavalry arrives in the form of Logan and Marvel Girl who come to help along with Cerebra.

A Mentor's Shadow

Marvel's Extraordinary X-Men issue #3 was pretty good; it was definitely a more action-heavy issue than the other two but still managed to pull it together in the end. The real showcase piece here was of course, Old Man Logan chatting up with young Marvel Girl, finding out of that they have more in common than you might think. The dynamic between these two heroes was one of the most beloved in all of comics and it’s fun to see Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, The Nobody) putting another twist on the whole thing. You know, instead of Wolverine mentoring another young girl, the tables have been turned in and it’s a young girl proving to be a mentor to an older Wolverine, also while they drop a huge little nugget of information in this issue as well. It turns out Scott Summers, the older Cyclops that we know died while fighting the Inhumans. There is also a fun little gag in here too where Logan jokes about the X-Haven being situated on space now and what a silly idea that is. Overall, I can freely recommend you to read this one out because with a slowly growing well written story, the exquisite art from artist Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man, Crimson) is like a cherry on top.

Superior Spider-Man #2 Review

Superior Spider-Man #2 Welcome to my review of Superior Spider-Man , issue number two from Marvel Comics and this is of course that cover where we see Spider-Man is making out with Mary Jane Watson and there is a rumor that he's going to rape her. You know, what's everybody's been saying. Well, let's get into this. It opens up and we got your Spider-Man . He's actually being congratulated by Jay Jonah Jameson and we see Parker 's spirit still wandering there. He's like, all these years I get nothing and suddenly you take over my body and he likes you. He admits he was wrong. I find that bit funny and as the comment goes on we see that Pete is trying to get into MJ 's pants, except every attempt he makes doesn't work. So, he constructs to those little nano-bot type of spiders just a note to help him out and commands hi Mechanoid to replicate 800 more. Over the course of come to see he keeps going China to date MJ and different...

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #3 Review

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #3 The third issue of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man is here and thus the comedy continued to flow or is this going to take a serious turn so far quite a few things have happened. In this comic, quite obviously we've seen Peter Parker 's sister show back up. We've seen a few other things such as Johnny Storm take a moral or you know, supporting role in this and he's really kind of getting fleshed out along with the rest of the characters. We saw Peter Parker takes on Iron Heart and this time in this issue we're going to see him go face to face with the one and only the Kingpin of crime; Wilson Fisk . Karnak of The Inhumans makes a brief appearance in the course of the story. Now of course this will not be the first time these characters are ever going to meet and it's definitely not going to be the last time and there's a lot of humor, that's tossed into this comics. You can definitel...

Venom (2016) #1 Review

Venom (2016) #1 Recently a brand-new ongoing Venom series has launched and we are here today to discuss issue #1 of the series. This book is long awaited as this book once again changing the host of the alien Symbiote and what you’re going to notice here is that he is not a Guardian of the Galaxy any more or the so-called Space Knight or anything like that. They are trying to go back to basics and make the Venom Symbiote part of someone who is a scumbag because the Symbiote bonds with its host and it amplifies if they are evil. So at first glance, this new person who is destined to be the next host of the Symbiote, isn’t very likable at all and they are definitely trying to go for that feeling here. The hero is Lee Price , who is a disabled military veteran, which kind of reflects on the Flash Thompson story with Venom but not really considering throughout this entire comic while reading it. But this guy doesn’t feel like Flash Thompson . Instead he’s got a very muc...

Seriously, why does he need a Spider-Signal anyway? let's get into this because that the comic opens and we see that Jameson has put up the Spider-Signal and he's swinging around it and he wins and he started getting into a conversation and Spider in psych listen only an idiot would put this up and let's all my enemies know where I'm gonna be. Like, what kind of idiot are you? I agree it's kind of funny but the comic goes on as Jameson and Spider-Man talks. I have a conversation we see the girl there and later on in the lab he we see that Peter is actually modifying even further so he cannot detect The Vulture 's wings on the magnetic wings and the signal they give off because obviously it's auto and he knows his stuff like he is trying to do good at least. So, as he goes on you know swing in and we see that it's Adrian Toomes ; A...

The Clone Conspiracy #1 Review

The Clone Conspiracy #1 We came back once again as the Amazing Spider-Man has returned with a brand-new saga, written by Dan Slott ( Superior Spider-Man , The Thing ) who continues an ongoing tale of Peter Parker with artist Jim Cheung ( Avengers – The Children's Crusade , New Avengers – Illuminati ). This time he brings the Spider-Man event ' Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy '. The comic opens up in a graveyard and we see Peter telling himself that everything he’s ever defended, every foe he has ever defeated, there is one that he cannot defeat and that is the fact that everybody dies and today is no different because they are all at a funeral of John Jonah Jameson, Sr . During this time Peter also manages to catch up on everybody else that he has lost. Gwen Stacy , Uncle Ben and many other people important to him and made him what he is today. What is really great about this is the fact that Peter just feels terrible because Aunt May just lost the secon...

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #2 Review

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #2 Peter Parker has come face-to-face with his sister but is there more to this story than meets the eye. Let's find out in issue number two. So, as the second issue opens up we catch up with Peter Parker who is of course in Chicago and here we see Peter is face to face with Ironheart who was joking about the fact that he is here to arrest her but he says, that she is the wrong person. He wasn't actually here to arrest Ironheart . It's more so that he's after the actual Infamous Iron Man , who is of course Doctor Doom but for now he'll just settle for getting her autograph. So, Ironheart isn't going to have none of his crap and she quickly just you know, bolts right into him. Takes him up into the sky, they both come crashing down and then there's a tiny little fight and then after that's all said and done we see, Peter Parker finally gets to talk to Tony Stark , or at least the AI consciousness th...

Extraordinary X-Men #2 Review

Extraordinary X-Men #2 Mutants from past, present and future will need to unite to help overcome one of the darkest moments in their history. All these and more in the pages of Extraordinary X-Men issue number two. As the comic opens X-Men Magik and Colossus on their way to recruit their old friend Nightcrawler but they don’t find the blue elf, they do find his tail however and a puddle of his blood. But seems like Kurt Wagner can always loose on his tail and find another new one. Well, that may not be fun but at the very least that is a condolence. We can only assume that he was taken down by the new incarnation of the Marauders whom we saw chasing him previously for some unknown reason ( Extraordinary X-Men #1 ). In Neepawa , Manitoba , Canada , Iceman and Storm meet up with Logan for the very first time. Needless to say that all parties involved are pretty confused right about now. Well then Logan tells them that he’s from the future, a very different and alternat...

Black Panther (2016) #1 Review

Black Panther (2016) #1 Here we are guys with the issue number one of Black Panther ongoing which is also a part of “ A Nation Under Our Feet ” storyline. We are still looking into Wakanda and see what’s changed in Secret Wars . The comic opens up as T'Challa recalls his past failures against his ancestors, being cast out from his own country and then to have his own people having questioned him about what he’s really trying to do as a King of that nation. Then we see the Great Mound where T'Challa tries to praise the Vibranium miners for their hard work but someone’s manipulating them. Filling them with hate and trying to start a Civil War . T'Challa may question himself but he still knows that he is the Black Panther and with that he can track anyone through the wind and rain. Because he hasn’t tracked just the body, he tracks the very soul of a person. But then the deceiver’s scent has gone stale sort and he stops his pursuit with a soldier telling him tha...

Extraordinary X-Men #1 Review

Extraordinary X-Men #1 A brand new era of the merry mutants are about to begin in the pages of the first issue of brand new monthly ongoing Extraordinary X-Men . Since it is a new X-Title lots of expectations and speculations were made before it was even released and now it’s here for us to find out how it turns out to be. The comics opens with Ororo Munroe aka Storm sitting at Charles Xavier ’s desk. Although I suppose you could call it her desk in her office now. Because, Wolverine is gone, Beast is off with the Inhumans tying to help them out with their recent crisis, Cyclops is off the team as well. Actually, Cyclops has done some terrible things in his run as the leader of the X-Men and now Scott Summers ' name is something that no one is willing to even mention, which more or less leaves Storm as the de facto leader of the mutant community. It seems that the Anti-Mutant aggression is at an all-time high all over the world and they are not just your regular a...

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #1 Review

So, as the comic opens up we are going to be caught up on the basics of who Peter Parker is and how he got his powers. Of course they're going to kind of establish the death of his parents when he was very young. At the moment where these spider bites him and so far catching us up to what he's been doing today and as we flip the page we actually see that this is Peter Parker once again recounting his origin to someone very familiar and he says the more or less the situation he's been in lately, his responsibility has shot up. He's got to do way more than he's ever had to do before. And all of this is happening while him and Johnny Storm are grabbing lunch together in the city. Unfortunately, it is time for Johnny to go. As he swings off he's talking about how t...
