Guess who is looking forward to more Arrested Development

Well, I can only assume Deadpool is.  Maybe writer Rick Remender as well.  And yes, I know this is a bit old, but I am really behind on my X-Men reading.

New Comic Day hangover

It’s been several weeks since I’ve picked up my new comics, so I’ll be going through the backlog on this, my 20th edition of the New Comic Day hangover.  20?  Really?  Where does the time go?

Anyway, this edition we’ll be looking at…

• Booster Gold #38 in which we get a trip to the past to set up a continuity issue.
• Justice League: Generation Lost #13-14 in which we get a whole lot of Captain Atom.
• New Mutants #19 in which we get more torture.
• Uncanny X-Force #2 in which Wolverine pisses off Angel.
• Uncanny X-Men #530 in which the mutants get the sniffles.
• X-Factor #211 in which we get back to Las Vegas.
• X-Men #5 in which we are still fighting vampires.
• X-Men Legacy #242 in which the rebuilding of San Francisco gets underway.

As a side note, I know I said I would be dropping both Uncanny X-Force and Booster Gold but since my comic shop had already ordered  me copies of these issues before I dropped them from my pull list, I did the decent thing and went ahead and picked them up.  The same will happen with next month’s issues.

Anyway – reviews (with SPOILERS) after the jump.  Let’s get to it!

A letter to the dropped

Dear Booster Gold and Uncanny X-Force,

I’ve been avoiding this.  I mean, I really don’t want to hurt either you.  Really.  But I can’t just dodge this anymore, and I know that it will only get worse the longer I hold out.  So it’s time to man up and just say it.

Guys, this isn’t working out.  I think it’s time that we parted ways.

I’d be lying if I took credit for it being completely my fault that this is happening.  After all, if you were “must read”, this probably wouldn’t have come up.  But I just can’t go another month with you.  I have to move on.  But I do feel like I should give you an explanation for my decision, and I will do so seperately.  After all, I can hardly lump the two of you in together, can I?

New Comic Day hangover

Let’s get right to it.  This week, we’re looking at…

• Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis #3 in which a lot of talking is done.
• Justice League: Generation Lost #10 in which we learn what Max Lord is up to.
• Uncanny X-Force #1 in which the badass team gets relaunched with a not-so badass name.
• Uncanny X-Men #528 in which Hope does exactly the same thing as the last two issues.
• And X-Men Legacy #240 in which we get a kidnapping and a wedding.

There will be details past the jump and they will have SPOILERS in them.  You have been warned.
