Moreels X-Fan Editor-in-Chief x-fan@bigpond.net.au From ComiX-Fan: http://www.comixfan.com/xfan WOLVERINE #17 Reviewer: Robin Lewis, lucillerobin@aol.com Quick Rating: Great! Story Title: Return of the Native, Part 5 She doesn't look like a doctor to me. Written by: Greg Rucka Pencils and Cover by: Darick Robertson Inking by: Nelson Decastro Colors by: Studio F Letters by: Virtual Calligraphy's Rus Wooton Edits: Axel Alonso More Edits: Warren Simons Editor In Chief: Joe Quesada Publisher: Dan Buckley As your new reviewer for Wolverine, I should probably lay my cards on the table. I've always been deeply suspicious of stories that further complicate the Weapon X aspect of Logan's past. It's a well that's been drawn from too many times to retain the impact it needs and should have been left alone years ago. Couldn't they have tied a bow on this plot and be done with it? Unfortunately, with a character as popular as Wolverine further revelations about his past are always going to be needed to sell the title. Considering all this, it's deeply annoying how much enjoyment I'm getting out of the current arc. Perhaps it's the art. Darick Robertson has shown throughout his run on this book that he's adept at evoking a sense of place in his work, and the mountainous landscapes in these pages is further proof of his skill. His character work is likewise excellent: Logan's silent scowling and Sabretooth's sneering contempt contrasting their personalities to fine effect. The colouring is pretty good too, adding layers of texture and realism to a moonlit night and a glowing sunset. The script also impresses. His name is on the cover, but Wolverine gets exactly ten words out of his mouth, and all of those occur on the second to last page. The remainder of the talking is handled by Sabretooth and the still slightly- mysterious agents of the Weapon X offshoot that have been driving the action from the start. Sabretooth is more entertaining than he has been for a long time, talking constantly and trying to read Wolverine's mind on the drive from the mountains to the Workshop where the Native is being held. Muttering insults under his breath whenever he's out of Logan's earshot and dreaming of taking sweet revenge on employers that were out to sell him up the river from the word go, he's obviously a character Greg Rucka enjoys writing for. He only stops talking when Logan shows him yet again why Sabretooth will only ever be the second-best at what he does. Creed's arrogance and ill-deserved confidence shine through his every word, setting him up for this close encounter that adds another 'ouch' moment to the collection he'd received so far in this arc. He may enjoy writing Sabretooth, but I also get the sense Greg Rucka enjoys thinking up new and interesting ways to cause him vast quantities of pain. SPOILERS AHEAD! Of course, even with the claws turning his head into a toastrack it's highly doubtful Creed is actually dead. There's no reason Logan wouldn't make sure of killing him (by, say, decapitation) other than the necessity of keeping his nemesis alive for future plots, but it's depicted as being pretty final. Even his healing factor might have trouble growing a new brain. The motivations behind the shadowy bad guys are made a little clearer this month, but, as with all Weapon X related stories, a touch of caution would be wisely employed before assuming that everything will be explained by the end of the arc. The plot- twist discovered by the alluring but definitely not ER material Dr. Vapor may bear some interesting fruit, but we'll see. Marvel aren't going to load Wolverine down with SPOILERS AHEAD! a family, so there aren't too many ways that portion of the plot can go. The only real flaw I can find in this issue is the fact that it's part of a seven-issue storyline. Seven issues? Does it really need that many pages? Rucka makes the space between notable events more interesting than most, but seven issues is stretching it a bit. It's to Rucka's credit that each individual issue has been consistently interesting, but the overarching story can't help but drag. In an issue like this, with no big action splash pages to dazzle the eye (like the fantastic fight between Wolverine and a brace of helicopters last issue), and the main 'action' taking place during a long car ride it's only the excellence of the character material that keep you from wondering impatiently when the build-up will give way to a climax. Still, over half a year on one plot is pushing the limits of people's patience. I'm still unconvinced there's much more worthwhile mileage in digging up Wolverine's Weapon X past, but Greg Rucka's sure handling of Wolverine is easily streets ahead of anything being done with him in the core X-books, and Darick Robertson's art compliments this perfectly. Few characters are as lucky as Wolverine in having such a consistent and skilled team on their book. Let's hope Marvel keep them there for the forseeable future. Edit: In the ten minutes since posting this my memory has thrown up the fact that they'll be replaced by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr as of issue 20. I can only claim encroaching alzheimers made me forget this. They'll need to be at the top of their (considerable) game to match Rucka and Robertson. ART: 4.0 STORY: 4.0 OVERALL: 4.0 CABLE & DEADPOOL #5 Reviewer: Scott Williams, yoda905@yahoo.com Quick Rating: Good Story Title: If Looks Could Kill Part 5: "Not That There's Anything Wrong With That" Cable and Deadpool save their lives, and then get on the job. Written by: Fabian Nicieza Pencils: Patrick Zircher Inks: Rob Ross & M3TH of UDON Letters: Virtual Calligraphy's Cory Petit Colors: Shane Law & Kevin Yan of UDON Udon Cheif Erik Ko Assistant Editors: Nicole Wiley & Andy Schmidt Editor: Tom Brevoort Editor-In-Chief: Joe Quesada When we last left off, Cable and Deadpool were each very much in trouble, thanks to the One World Church - Deadpool, melting into a puddle of goo thanks to his exposure to the Facade Virus, and Cable being overcome by the Techno-Organic Virus. In order to survive, they must use each other's powers by mixing their blood. I'm going to be honest with you: Comic book science usually doesn't make sense to me, and such is the case here. No matter how many comics I read, some writers will manage to write up some scientific explanation, some doozy, that will just make me stare and go "Uhh...?" And I won't pretend like I understand how it works, how it's supposed to be done, and whether or not it actually could be done in real life. Such is the case here, my friends, because I had no idea how they were going to do that, and after it was done, I still wasn't sure. But I have to get over my little hang ups and go along with it. I will say though that the momentary focus on sciency-stuff seriously douses the book's feel-good atmosphere, and the book almost loses me. Almost. But luckily, Fabian Nicieza thought to open the issue with a situation ripe for opportunity: Deadpool sluggishly making his way across the room, half-turned into jelly, with nothing to do but think out loud. This was certainly not a missed opportunity, and Deadpool turns out some fine Wade-like riffs. Classic Wade, indeed. I know some of you, maybe those of you who are more preoccupied with Cable, might not be able to understand the point of my pointing out when Deadpool says something funny, but I assure you, it's quite important. Sadly, Deadpool just doesn't work if he refrains from wise-cracking. It shouldn't be so important to a character, but without it, Deadpool is, well... nothing. Nothing worth reading, anyway. Just a loser villain in a Spidey ripoff outfit. Sorry for the harsh words, but luckily we don't have to deal with that. Deadpool fans have been blessed with a great stable of creators who have kept him cracking wise all these years. Joe Kelly, Christopher Priest, all the way to Gail Simone and now Fabian Nicieza, who even gets the co-creator credit on the opening page. Deadpool is on top of his game here. Um, where was I? So, this starts off as a potentially heavy issue, but is lightened by the playful dialogue - or rather, monologue - and a good resolution. Then, Cable gets back on the chase. He's all business, that Cable, and he certainly does a good job of taking care of business in this issue. After the beginning, it very much becomes a Cable issue, and then somebody shows up. Someone named Lightmaster, I think. He has light powers. This is where the issue sort of lost me, because I didn't know why Lightmaster showed up. Has he been around in the previous issues? I guess I haven't been reading closely enough to notice him. Lightmaster is part of some cockamamie scheme of the O.W.N.'s to turn people blue through their TV Screens. Sure, whatever. More comic book science. Hey, if it works, it works. So Cable does his best to fight Lughtmaster, and Deadpool closes the issue with some moderately funny lines. So, this wasn't the strongest issue. It was somewhat uneven, trying to match up its heavy sciency stuff, with laughter Deadpool fare. And the juxtaposition didn't exactly work, it made for an uneven effort, but not horrendously so. In fact, no-one should be able to put down this issue and say they didn't find it worthwhile and entertaining, because despite the fact that it had my head spitting, I still really enjoyed reading it. Patrich Zircher's artwork remains crisp and great for the fancy- free atmosphere of the book, it's really good. He particularly illustrate's Deadpool's melting - inside his suit - and Cable being enveloped by T-O, with great detail and the right level of gruesomeness. Very energetic pencils, and the bright Udon colours really help this. The art for this issue was really solid work. There's also a really great vomiting panel that's not to be missed. The layouts keep the story going at it's brisk pace so the feeling is never lost even when the material weighs down. So I liked this issue, even though it bothered me, because I really like this series. I think it's a book that should at least be given half a chance to survive, because it features two peripheral X-Characters and those books have been known to be given good shelf lives. This has a solid premise, great execution, enjoyable artwork, and two characters with wide enough fan bases. If there's any justice in the world then by gum this title will run for years. STORY: 3.5 ART: 3.5 OVERALL: 3.5 X-MEN #159 Reviewer: Al Harahap, al_harahap@comixfan.cjb.net Quick Rating: Below Average Story Title: Day of the Atom, Part Three The X-Men contain Xorn's power, while the mystery around his true identity continues. No creative credits listed CAST: Havok: Leader of this particular group of X-Men. Polaris: Mentally unstable powerhouse X-Man. Iceman: Veteran X-Man uncomfortable with Juggernaut's membership. Juggernaut: Former X-Men villain on the road to redemption. Rogue: X-Man looking out for her blind boyfriend. Gambit: The blind boyfriend. Wolverine: Busiest X-Man ever. "Xorn": Mutant whose true identity is still shrouded in mystery. Collective Man: Chinese superhero intent on keeping the X-Men away from "Xorn." The Eight Immortals: Chinese superhero group now helping the X- Men. Jay Guthrie: Xavier Institute student still finding his place in the school. Sammy Pare: Xavier Institute student who befriends Jay. The Stepford Cuckoos: Xavier Institute students now depleted to triplets. Emma Frost: Xavier Institute headmistress.

ComiX-Fan is not responsible for any physical or mental harm caused to readers who voluntarily participate in the discussions of this thread. Day of the Atom continues to climax, apparently with no creative team and editors of note to be credited. Based on the layouts, I assume a double splash page of the Blackbird (or the X-Plane, X- Jet, X-Wing, or whatever it is they're calling it nowadays) exploding with no narration or dialogue was supposed to contain the credits. Fortunately, Marvel is still kind enough to include Austen, Larocca, and Miki on the cover. But for the unsung heroes of lettering, colouring, assistant editing, editing, and publishing... this one's for you. Scribe Chuck Austen continues to titillate readers with the revelation of an existing "Xorn," as the X-Men attempt to contain his overwhelming power. The Eight Immortals are now lovey-dovey with the X-Men, but our band of mutants now face the threat of China's most populous superhero, the Collective Man! The Xorn mystery is somewhat interesting, but there are a few inherent problems. The most obvious is that fans of the unique character were already shocked when revealed that he was really the X-Men's archenemy, Magneto. But it wasn't necessarily a negative kind of shock. It was an unexpected surprise that hardly anyone saw coming, and therefore a thought-provoking one. So to try to shock them using "Xorn" again feels redundant. Secondly, there has already been faux identity revelations in the X-lore in the form of Erik the Red and Joseph. Not to mention that all these are Magneto-related. So there isn't really anything new or exciting being done here. Add to all that such brevity between the revelation of Xorn's non-existence to this one of his existence, and the retread plot also suffers from bad timing. But the worst part is that there's just insignificant development in this issue. What tries to pass off as a "clue" is this mysterious character calling out for "Brother Xorn." Are we then to believe that this similar character is not actually someone who isn't supposed to exist, but rather the brother of someone who isn't supposed to exist? Okay, let's play along. But there's also minimal character development for Diet Xorn. We just know that he likes to say things like: "He who stretches his legs does not walk easily," and "The answer to loving others is to first be loved by learning to love oneself." Unfortunately, he who spews out painfully cliche taoist proverbs makes not necessarily character development. In fact, he who reviews this issue got more philosophy out of Frank Quitely's minimalist image of a helmeted Xorn contemplating a delicious burger. The X-Men themselves don't fare well this issue either. Fans of Havok -- who's been going through Northstar's closet -- will enjoy his leadership and taking action in containing "Xorn's" power. And, despite controversy surrounding her character, Polaris has a nice presence this issue. Opinions on Austen's derangement of her mental stability have been polarized (no pun intended). But here, she's presented in a sane manner with just the right hint of the demented Polaris. Kudos to Austen for striking a nice balance. Iceman and Juggernaut, too, provide much this issue. Theirs is an exchange meant to display the internal strife within the X-Men that intensifies the situation. Strangely, they also provide the comic relief of the issue. And in those regards, they do their job adequately. The problem is that it makes little sense for both to be so strong with their feelings (in particular, Iceman) when they've now been working together in the X-Men for a while. This would've made sense when Juggernaut first joined the X-Men, but for them to be this way now is inexplicable. Not to mention that the dynamic is basically that of Fantastic Four's Thing and Human Torch. But at least the above four X-Men have something to offer this issue. For the other three, who through questionable coincidence happen to be the three most popular of this team and also who have/will have their own solo series, Gambit, Rogue, and Wolverine might as well have sat this one out. Rogue -- who's returned to her circus clown costume and adopted a short ponytail to look more like her movie counterpart -- does nothing but hold the hand of her blinded boyfriend, Gambit, who himself is just wading through the issue without direction. Meanwhile, Wolverine, who appears in four X-books, could be erased from every panel he's in, and no one would notice. Conversely, we have the Eight Immortals, who could've been so much more than just a passing fight for the X-Men. Instead, in this issue they're relegated to wallpaper with little to offer. I love myth, especially ancient Greek and Chinese myth, the latter of which the Eight Immortals are based on. Each correspond to a different trigram on the Taoist diagram, and each also represent the Taoist view of the eight conditions of life: femininity, masculinity, youth, maturity, poverty, wealth, the commoner, and the nobility. Now doesn't that all seem like great potential for comic characters? For a great modern interpretation of the Eight Immortals (and other ancient Chinese myths), check out UDON's Xin: Legend of the Monkey King, because you won't find it here, where they're lost in the plethora of characters who need attention. Perhaps if the three cash cow X-Men weren't around, the Eight Immortals could've been fleshed out a little more. But if you're not full yet, it doesn't stop there. There's also the Collective Man, a Chinese superhero who apparently didn't die in Citizen V and the V Battalion: The Everlasting #2. Not to mention intermittent scenes back at the Institute with Jay Guthrie, Sammy Pare, Emma Frost, and (I think) one of the Stepford Cuckoos, hinting at an upcoming return of X-Men villain Black Tom. What crowds the issue seems to be a bane for Salvador Larocca's art. His usually dynamic style shines in scenes with few people, especially at the Institute, where his ability for beautiful backgrounds can be utilised. But it suffers when many characters have to be standing around in the background to remind readers who's there. These scenes make it difficult to show the unique setting of China, which is crucial for the multiple Chinese characters and Taoist themes to work effectively. As any X-writer is prone to do, Austen falls into the pit trap of trying to do too many things with too many characters in the short span of 23 pages. And in doing so, Larocca's art is dragged down along with it. I'm not a supporter of the slow trade-paced story arc with little meat to them, but taking the other extreme of cramming too much is also a detriment. And yes, in an issue where the leader, straining himself to contain power equal to a sun, makes sure that the former fiancee he left at the altar doesn't want him dead, the issue is trying to do too much. With only one issue of this arc left, and with so much in it, I'm left pessimistic as to how Day of the Atom can be adequately wrapped up. But I would love for the creative team -- credited or otherwise -- to prove me wrong. ART: 3.0 STORY: 1.0 OVERALL: 2.0 WEAPON X #26 Reviewer: Brian Wilkinson, bewilkinson@comixfan.cjb.net Quick Rating: Great Story Title: Man and Monster, part 1 Sabretooth is back... but with the book cancelled is it enough to get readers to rally to save the book? Written by: Frank Tieri Cover by: Andy Park Pencilled by: Tom Mandrake Colors by: Brad Anderson Letters by: Dave Sharpe Assistant Editor: Stephanie Moore Editor: Mike Marts Editor In Chief: Joe Quesada Publisher: Dan Buckley It's finally come down the pipeline: the fan favorite Weapon X book by Frank Tieri has been confirmed by multiple sources as having been given the axe to better make way for new books like Jubilee. It seems a no-brainer to label Marvel Comics as one of the clear leaders of the comic book industry today. From a financial standpoint, the company has been clearing hurtles that many thought too numerous to escape from. Thanks to strong leadership and a well-balanced crop of talent and creative properties the company not only emerged from Chapter 11 but well into the green. Another no-brainer is that much of this has to do with the success of the X-Men line of books. Thanks to talents like Grant Morrison, Chris Claremont, Salvador Larroca, Chuck Austen, Frank Tieri, Sean Chen, Mark Millar, Adam Kubert and a host of others, this line has been the saving grace for the company. But, as in all things, change is inevitable. After Grant Morrison decided to leave New X-Men it seemed the most logical time to do a line-wide revamp of some of the more popular series. X-Treme X- Men was cancelled and Excalibur was called in to fill the void. Astonishing X-Men, the brilliant child of Joss Whedon and John Cassady arrived while other books such as Exiles, Mystique, New Mutants and Weapon X were to be given shiny new coats of paint. For the most part, this has all held true. Sadly, this September marks the end for one of these titles. The darling of Frank Tieri and former artist Georges Jeanty, Weapon X is getting the axe and will be keeping Pete Milligan's X-Statix company in limbo heaven. But why? There were many days and years which Marvel EIC Joe Quesada swore up and down that the X-line not only needed trimming but would be kept to as few book as possible. In one sense he was right as that market was becoming over saturated and the quality wasn't matching the output. So why the change of pace now? Why the return to the early 1990s when x-books humped like rabbits and spawned a thousand titles? In the next few months we'll have Rogue,, Gambit, Jubilee, X- Force, Nightcrawler, X-Men: The End, Madrox and a host of others. While I admit to being happy to see a couple of these books coming out, why scale back two of the most creatively and critically acclaimed books in the line? Though the series has gone through some growing pains, the demand and interest for Weapon X and X-Statix seems as intense as ever. Much like Tom DeFalco's much maligned Spider-Girl there should be a call to arms to save these two books. They should stay on and given a chance to find a wider audience or at least have its run extended a little while to tell as much of their stories as possible. Two more issues seems an awful inconvenience to loyal fans that have been following this book for the past couple of years. For me personally, Weapon X was one of those rare books that grabbed my attention right away and never let go. For the Marvel market, it was one of the most unique books they were putting out. I mean, here's a book about villains and the misguided all desperately trying to figure out why they've sold their souls to a heartless government organization. Between the death of Maggott, the inclusion of Chamber and the Director perpetually hiding his face in shadows this book had the darkness and edge that is often missing from Marvel these days. Weapon X was a much more realistic take on the mutant situation given the political climate of today and dealt with issues, in continuity I might add, that are more relevant and interesting on today's political stage. This is easily one of the best books being put out by Marvel today. We have the menace of Mr. Sinister operating from the shadows as brilliantly shown by Tieri. Involving one of Marvel's greatest villains in one of Wolverine's most enduring and popular tales is a stroke of genius that ties things together better than before. With plots and points that are abandoned by other books, Tieri snatches them up and makes them his own by blending them with his own original content to create situations and characters that shock readers while at the same time appealing to the inner geek in all of us. This book, in essence, revitalized interest in characters like Sabretooth, Mesmero, Maverick and a handful of others that Marvel previously could have cared less about. And it was interesting. It was damn GOOD. The current arc featuring major x-badass Sabretooth shows again why this book is one of the best that's out there. Sabretooth is an evil horrid creature, but much like Spike from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer he comes across as the anti-hero and we gleefully watch his campaign against Sinister. What this corporation he's working for wants is up in the air, as is their knowledge about what happened to Neverland, but it's this kind of drama and suspense that pull readers in for more each month. As the two villains duke it out and serve the interests of others, exactly what happened to the program and all the fan favorites remains a mystery. There's no way it can all be tied up in two more issues and given the amount of time and planning that has clearly gone into this series it seems a waste to not at least give the series the chance to end itself. Save Weapon X!! As I mentioned before, change is an inevitable part of life and especially in comic companies. I'll still support and read Marvel as they've been doing great things the past few years, but it makes me question that loyalty when books and creators are axed without much attempt to either reinvigorate them or give them the attention they deserve. Captain Marvel anyone? Hawkeye? A wiser man may say that in order to make room for the new, something old has to go. Not wanting to lose any of the books currently put out by Marvel I feel the need to argue against this. If two books are taken to make room for six, then perhaps we can make do with four new books to test the waters first before deciding to chop books with faithful followers. But that's just my opinion.

Force: Secrets and Thighs" well ok there are lots of babes in lingerie and tight clothes. The poses need to be more sexy and provocative though. The story is to short to really tell if the series will be any good. "Edison Jones: Surburban Secret Agent" is about a guy going to church. Not too exciting. Actually its kind of boring.
