Uncanny X-Men #522: Kitty Pryde is back? Awesome read, great story and an interesting way to bring a long loved character back. This book also made me gain more respect for Magneto than I already had. Matt Fraction mixed with Wilce Portacio equals a good book. My only thing is, Kitty Pryde is back, now what?
Verdict: Buy!
X-Men Origins: Nightcrawler: These origins comics are kinda redundant for comic fans but are awesome for us folks that were out of the game for so long or for newcomers. This is, as the title explains, the origin of Nightcrawler. The art by Cary Nord was iffy at first but quickly grew on me. Writer Adam Freeman made this story an in depth origin. Fans of the character will definitely need to pick this up.
Verdict: Buy!
Breaking Into Comics the Marvel Way #1 & 2: This two issues are basically new talent, writers and artists, given a chance to show off their skills. Interesting idea but not worth the price tag. Some artists/writers were good, others were not, so even with the good stories and good art something feel s like its missing. These comics are basically the prize in the cracker jack box you thought would be cool but weren’t.
Verdict: #1 Read. #2 Burn!
Haunt #6: This is a recap of the first five issues but through the eyes of Mirage which is Kirk’s lover, but that’s all it seems to be, a recap. One of the main problems I have with this book, whoever is that since this one issue recaps five other issues it jumps around and gets confusing at times. Not a very good jumping on point at all. Greg Capullo’s art is cool and reminiscent of McFarlane’s but writer Robert Kirkman was a little disappointing in this.
Verdict: Read.
