This Week in Comics

Uncanny X-men #503
Great cover! Is it any wonder that with Land on board doing this run that the preponderance of babes in the book is skyrocketing? So it would appear that Maddie is back to haunt Scott. Scott and red heads just don't mix. Inferno part 2 is starting this winter so I wonder if they aren't wrapping this into it all. Interesting to see this play out but if Emma really can read minds how the heck can she not see that Scott wasn't all that faithful?






Flash Gordon #2
It is nice to see that good quality comics can be done outside of the marvel/DC realm. Not for sure about the whole reboot but the character and stories are intriguing which is always good. Love the art and excitement. Sometimes comics can get bogged down with the story...publishers should remember that comic story telling is a visual medium.







Invincible Iron Man #6
First story arc is complete. Not too shabby kind of weak finish but it is the first story out of the mix so Fraction does get a free pass. Throw in that this is suppose to feed off the movie and you get the story that is pretty basic. You know what I am missing is the 80s newspaper print gritty art. The art today is just too picturesque.
