ULTIMATE X-MEN #55
Reviewer: Drew Shirley, sinistertaco@yahoo.com
Quick Rating: Average
Story Title: "The Most Dangerous Game" Part 2

Mojo is a fat albino TV executive with dreadlocks.

Writers: Brian K. Vaughn
Penciller: Stuart Immonen
Inker: Wade Von Grawbadger
Colorists: Justin Ponsor and Frank D'Armata
Letterer: Chris Eliopoulos
Assistant Editors: John Barber and Nick Lowe
Editor: Ralph Macchio
Editor-in-Chief: Joe Quesada
Publisher: Dan Buckley

As much as I'd like to say that I'm passionate about this issue
in any way, shape, or form, I'm afraid I can't. I felt no love,
nor did I feel hatred. I felt it was a competent story with
competent art, but it didn't click. But the more I thought about
that, the more I've come to think that this may be a symptom of
the title more so than the creators.

See, I think Brian K. Vaughn is easily one of the best writers
working in the industry right now, bar none, and I wholeheartedly
believe (because of Vaughn's writing) that Runaways is the best
book Marvel has published in the last decade or so. But a
recurring theme with Ultimate X-men has been writers who are
typically held in high regard coming on board and churning out
work that is by and large considered sub par.

In all fairness, I always found the original Mojo story arc one
of the sillier things to come out of the X-Universe, so I wasn't
particularly looking forward to this. Sure, it was by and large
inoffensive, but think about it for a second- A giant yellow glob
runs a Universe that is dictated entirely by TV ratings. While
I'm sure there was some social commentary in there somewhere, it
just came across as rather goofy in the long run. So now we have
the modern take on this, which involvs an albino, dreadlock
sporting TV executive who runs a reality show in which mutants
are hunted for sport. Slightly more grounded, but again, not
exactly easy to swallow. But I decided to turn off my
preconceived biases while I read this issue, and hoped that maybe
Vaughn had worked the whole Mojo story into something that...well,
that wasn't horrible.

In that respect he succeeded, I suppose. Its certainly not
horrible. But nor is it particularly inspiring. I think the
biggest problem is the title of the arc, to tell you the truth-
"The Most Dangerous Game". What exactly separates this from that
story? Or from The Running Man? We've seen this "man hunting man"
stuff a billion times before, and there has been no indication
that there's going to be anything to shake the tired formula. In
all honestly, it seems like the goal of the story isn't so much
telling a story as it is to introduce more 616 characters to the
Ultimate Universe. But then, that's always been a problem I've
had with Ultimate X-men. Its seemed all too often that story was
being sacrificed so we can get as many characters Ultimized as
possible. Ultimates, Ultimate Fantastic Four, and Ultimate
Spider-Man do this too, but they handle it in a much better
manner. With those titles it seems (at least largely) that the
characters are introduced to support the story. With Ultimate X-
men its always seemed that the story has been tailored to support
the introduction of more characters.

If you've read the first issue of this arc, you aren't really
going to find any surprises here, outside of the introduction of
two more Ultimized versions of classic characters. One seems to
be pretty much the way remember her, while the other is a
complete turn around from his traditional counterpart. A far more
boring turn around, I might add. Without spoiling who they are, I
have to say that I'm absolutely sick of the generic commando
character template. And I thought Spider-Man's web was supposed
to disintegrate after a short amount of time (You'll know what
this means after you've read it.).

That said, the story isn't bad, just extremely predictable and
not very engaging. We've got rouge X-men taking on a mission
without the Professor's consent, we've got sanctioned X-men on
the mission, and we've got Longshot being hunted. All very tried
and true stuff, but not anything that's going to knock your socks
off. Unless, of course, you're a really rabid fan of a particular
woman with six arms and a penchant for bladed weapons(oh come on,
you knew she was going to show up.).

Jean giving the "angry mom" look to Bobby and Kitty was funny,
though.

The art falls into a similar category. I'm not especially
familiar with Immonen's style, but his work is fundamentally
sound and his action scenes are good. The biggest pitfall is in
faces, though, as everyone has squinty eyes and it looks like
they're staring into the sun 90% of the time. Also, there's
something slightly off about his Angel. I can't really put my
finger on it, but if I had to make a generalized statement I'd
say that instead of being ethereal he looks more like a beardless
Norseman with wings. I realize that makes no sense at all, but
it's the best way I can communicate it. But those are fairly
minimal complaints and I was generally happy with the visual
aesthetic, just not wowed. Still, it's a great deal better than a
lot of art out there, so I shouldn't complain.

In short, there's nothing bad here. There's just not anything
mind blowingly great, either. If you were to ask me to hand you
an issue of a comic with my text book definition of average, this
would be it. Not too bad, not too good. But as always, there's
still time for Vaughn to throw a curveball and make me eat my
words. And if any one can do it, its him.

UNCANNY X-MEN #454
Reviewer: Robin Lewis, lucillerobin@aol.com
Quick Rating: Average.
Story Title: Chasing Hellfire (part three of three)

The Hellfire arc wraps up.

Writer: Chris Claremont
Artist: Andy Park
Colours: Morry Hollowell
Letterer: VC's Chris Eliopoulos
Assistant Editors: Sean Ryan and Stepahnie Moore
Editor: Mike Marts
Editor In Chief: Joe Quesada
Publisher: Dan Buckley

In times past Uncanny X-Men was the only show in town. If you
wanted to read about the terminal angst of Marvel's most popular
team you had only one place to go. Over the years the line has
grown to bloated proportions, and the lustre that once surrounded
Uncanny has faded. Presently Astonishing X-Men is garnering all
the plaudits while the original lags a little behind. Since Chris
Claremont came back on board to write the team he gave new life
to all those years ago we've had a strange mixture of stories,
varying in quality from issue to issue, but full of the familiar
stylistic touches from the old days. The present arc has seen the
return of the Hellfire Club (and most of the original Lords
Cardinal playing some kind of part in the proceedings), and last
issue ended with the return of Donald Pierce. This issue finishes
the arc and paves the way for a new kind of Hellfire Club (if not
exactly a caring, sharing club, at least one that doesn't
regularly try and kill the X-Men).

The story continues in two separate threads, one following Rachel
and Emma Frost taking on Selene and the mutant slavers in Hong
Kong, and the other following a big fight between those members
of the X-Men not already captured and Pierce. Things play out
much as you might expect, and much as Sage apparently planned.
Nightcrawler and Wolverine get their hands dirty with Pierce and
his goons, but things occasionally veer off into the
unexplainable. For instance, the two pages that see Storm "try
something unexpected" (throwing a hair band at Pierce, of all
things) lose coherence. Wolverine deflects the band, apparently
because he thinks Storm "isn't strong enough for this". Then Sage
frees Shaw with said hairband to help out. Two pages previously
Sage was tied up with only her head showing. How is she free? How
did she get her hands on the band? Who knows? The storytelling
isn't the best, and the actions of the team seem pretty daft all
things considered.

Even the most rabid fanboy would have to admit that this hasn't
been the most well-executed arc in X-Men history. The plot has
called for its characters to occasionally act like morons (let's
draw out the murderous bad guys who don't mind mowing down
endless civilians by having coffee in a crowded cafe), apparently
forget past history (don't Rachel and Kurt know from their
Excalibur days that Courtney Ross was killed and replaced by a
double?) or just amble around at the mercy of a plot that has
never been as clear as it should. That said, there are several
interesting threads that might turn out to be worth following.
Sunspot as the new Black King, Sage manipulating the X-Men for
her own ends, Donald Pierce entering the record books as the man
most likely to get decapitated within five minutes of his arrival
(this is at least the second time his head's gone walkabout),
etc. Of course, whether any of these will bear fruit is far from
certain. In the ten issues he's been back on Uncanny Claremont
has left quite a few dangling plotlines in his wake (Jamie
Braddock and the re-appearance of the Fury, for example, or the
XSE status of the team), and while I'm all for long-term plotting
I don't want it to turn out like times past, where things had to
wait five years before they were dealt with. The original
Excalibur suffered from exactly this problem, with around a fifty
issue wait before some of the very first plotlines were tied up.
I guess all we can do is wait and see.

Andy Park's art is of a more consistent quality than the plot.
Nice, clean lines complimented by strong colours make the pages
stand out, though everybody's hair looks as if it's made of some
sort of cardboard, and Pierce's new look doesn't strike me as
being very impressive. If you're going to the cyborg shop to get
upgrades why would you settle for long fingernails when you could
probably get a nice big gun strapped to your arm? Stabbing
Wolverine may be a fun way to spend the afternoon, but you could
save yourself a lot of time if you just put a bullet through his
eye. Ho-hum. The sadism of villains is often their undoing:
"Before I kill you I will torture you in needlessly complicated
ways and give your compadres time to rescue you.
Muhahahah...damn, someone appears to have sliced my face
off...Curses! Next time I'll just shoot you and have done with
it". Perhaps the Lords Cardinal of the Hellfire club are just too
old-fashioned, and act like old moustache-twirling villains out
of a sense of style.

Next month, those X-Fans who want to party like it's nineteen-
ninety-five will get their wish when someone makes a comeback. We
have yet to see if the return will be as well executed as that of
Collosus over in Astonishing, but I'm sure that the how and why
won't be too important to everyone who has been pleading for this
particular return to the way things were. I'm not sure that
there's anyone important left to resurrect now (though events in
Wolverine will start an inevitable outcry demanding the
resurrection of whichever team member Millar has decided to off),
though I'm sure that Magik's fans will disagree (all two of
them). For myself, I can't wait to see The House of M project
that promises to pile mutant bodies high later in the year. You
guys want resurrections of beloved characters; I want a chainsaw
taken to the groaning mass of the mutant population. The campaign
for wholesale slaughter in the X-Mansion starts here.

MYSTIQUE #23
Reviewer: Lia Brown, rook1@sympatico.ca
Quick Rating: Good
Story Title: Quiet (Part 4 of 5)

Counting down to the end....

Writer: Sean McKeever
Penciler: Manuel Garcia
Inker: Raul Fernandez
Colourist: Digital Rainbow
Letterer: VC's Chrisdy Gentopoulos
Cover Artist: Mike Mayhew
Assistant Editors: Stephanie Moore & Sean Ryan
Editor: Mike Marts
Chief: Joe Quesada
Publisher: Dan Buckley

The second-last issue of the Mystique series is an interesting
one. It doesn't really address some of the questions readers have
been waiting for, but it does play into Mystique's established
history in a way the rest of the series hasn't. The guest stars
are handled quite well, and I've been waiting to see Mystique
meet up with Rogue for a long time.

This issue has the first meeting between Mystique and her
daughter since the infamous story in Dream's End -- in which
they'd stabbed each other, making their relationship even more
dysfunctional. I like the continuity utilized here, and Sean
McKeever uses it in a way that isn't overwhelming or needlessly
confusing. It's too bad we didn't see more of Mystique's family
ties throughout the series, but I'm glad to have it here (it's
also nice to see a picture of Destiny in the remains of the
house; there wasn't a big deal made of it, so it too probably
won't bother unfamiliar readers, but it's a nice bonus for
longtime fans, and helps add to the sadness of the scene).

Rogue and Wolverine are used well in this story, rather than
being gratuitous guest stars (even if the cover art seems to lean
in that direction). They're in-character and their actions make
sense, and they provide an actual reaction on the part of the X-
Men to the attack on Xavier. All too often in comics it seems
that consequences to reprehensible acts are glossed over or
forgotten, so I'm pleased to see characters reacting as they
should to the attempted murder of their beloved mentor. And the
issue leaves Mystique with an interesting status quo: her
home/sanctuary and favourite possessions are gone -- destroyed by
her own hand -- and Rogue hates her. She'll also surely be
persona non grata with Xavier and the X-Men, setting up future
conflicts. I hope these will be followed upon the next time we
see Mystique in other X-books.

On the down side, there were aspects of the story that puzzled
me. The scenes at the beginning with Forge et al were not quite
clear; was it Mystique herself who tipped him off, and if so, why
did he nearly kill her when he came to Xavier's rescue? I
understand putting on a good show for the Quiet Man and Shepard,
but she did get battered around rather badly. And might they not
have seen her warning Forge anyway? Mystique is later said to
reach "supersonic speed" during her escape, and I don't know if
I'm supposed to understand how, or if this is a mystery for the
readers that may or may not be answered in the final issue. The
scene of Mystique turning paper-thin to escape the explosion of
her home is just strange, considering her usual limitations of
changing mass, and thanks to the way the events are conveyed (or
not suitably conveyed) by the art. Finally, I guess I'm surprised
that the revelations and plots of Shortpack and the Quiet Man
weren't really furthered, so not only was that slightly annoying,
it makes me wonder if they can be adequately wrapped in just one
more issue. We'll see.

I've had my share of problems with the art of Manuel Garcia in
this series, and it seems to me that his work in this issue is
particularly wanting. Part of my confusion mentioned in the
previous paragraph is certainly due to poor artistic
storytelling. Events don't really flow well in certain scenes,
particularly the opening ones with Forge and Xavier in Genosha,
as well as the explosion of Mystique's home, which did leave me
wondering what was going on. The characters themselves looked
more poorly-drawn and sketchy than in some previous issues, and
some scenes have the characters posed rather awkwardly during
action sequences, making it more confusing. Overall, I'm left
wondering if Garcia did a rush job on the art, which is never a
good impression to get.

So, there's only one issue left of Mystique. I've enjoyed the
series, and hope that the final issue will clear up the questions
and plots seeded throughout. It might not be a good idea to leave
some of the major reveals (such as the fate of Shortpack, and
true identity of the Quiet Man) until the very last issue, but
we'll have to wait and see before judging.

SPOILER WARNING: Some plot details may be revealed in these
reviews!

Title: Captain America # 2
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Ed Brubaker
Artists: Steve Epting, Michael Lark
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: This version of Cap is more realistic and grittier. In
both story and art it is. Yes Cap is a soldier but he is also a
symbol of hope. That part of Cap is not being shown here. It
should be.
  There is a little action as Cap fights a few of the Red Skull's
goons. Though really the whole issue is boring.

Title: Marvel Age Spider-Man # 19
Publisher: Marvel
Plot: Stan Lee & Steve Ditko
Writer: Mike Raicht
Penciler: Valentine DeLandro
Inker: Pat Davidson
Price: $ 2.25 US, $ 3.25 Can
Comments: Hi Fi does an amazing job on the colors. The Scorpion's
green colored costume and the shading on it look spectacular. He
really stands out.
  The Scorpion is shown as MacGargan a pathetic loser just out to
make a buck. J.J.J. takes advantage of that. MacGargan finds he
likes being powerful.
  Their battle is pretty action packed. It flows along nicely.
The Scorpion makes full use of his tail.

Title: Stoker's Dracula # 2
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Roy Thomas
Artist: Dick Giordano
Price: $ 3.99 US, $ 5.75 Can
Comments: The Voyage of the Demeter is a thing of horror as
Dracula slowly picks off all the crew one by one. Dracula is
drawn mysteriously his face and figure are never revealed fully.
You can fully feel the sailors terror rising as one by one they
disappear.
  Mina and Lucy start to feel the preditations of Dracula. Lucy
is his first victum as he preys on her like a parasitic beast.
Mina tries to help but she has no idea what is causing it.
  Lucy succums to Dracula's visits. Dispite Van Helsing's efforts
she dies. But will she come back?
  Dracula has worked his insidous way into a new country. One he
plans to do with as he will.

Title: Hulk/Thing # 4
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Bruce Jones
Artist: Jae Lee
Price: $ 3.50 US, $ 5.00 Can
Comments: Seeing these two men yes men not monsters duking it out
is a pleasure to watch. Two of the strongest people on the planet
are just hanging out and talking, palling around and knocking
each other around a little. Its all in fun. These two are friends
its just hard to tell sometimes.
  The art is grim and gritty. It lets you know being a hulking
monsterious looking super-hero isn't all that fun. Though these
two make the best of it. Their friendly rivalry is cute.

Title: Astonishing X-Men # 7
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Joss Whedon
Artist: John Cassaday
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: The X-Men go from wondering how Petey is doing to
fighting a Godzilla type monster. The Fantastic Four even show up
to lend a hand.
  They seem to be making a big deal about having mutants accepted
by humanity. It was kind of funny Ben asking Wolverine if they
had come up with a cure for being Canadian. Nope and they never
will they are the greatest people in the world.
  Poor Wing he was "cured" of his mutant power of flight. He
feels his life is over. As he tries to fly without any powers
poor Wing is no more.
  Emma for whatever reason is always coming out with some sexual
inuendo. She used to be the frost queen so why this sudden
change. It seems as if it is being used to make Emma appear more
human.

Title: Marvel Knights Spider-Man # 10
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Mark Millar
Artists: Terry Dodson, Rachel Dodson
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: The green Goblin has a plan and he is certainly
intelligent in his own insane way. He has Spider-Man wrapped
around his finger. Spidey along with the Black Cat break him out
of jail so he will free Aunt May. The Green Goblin once hes free
has no plans to free Peter's Aunt and he has a dozen of Spidey's
villians waiting for them. The best part is that Venom shows up
in possession of Scorpion. So the gangs all here. How can he
possibly get out of this mess and he still has to find and rescue
May. It is great to see all these old time foes showing up.
  The only problem is the people are not shown very well. They
are all in the dark. So you cannot really see them. Some you
can't even make out who they are.

Title: Superman/Batman # 16
Publisher: DC
Writer: Jeph Loeb
Penciler: Carlos Pacheco
Inker: Jesus Merino
Price: $ 2.95 US, $ 4.50 Can
Comments: Somehow Superman and Batman have ended up in the future
world of Kamandi. Its been awhile since he has been used in a
story. The references to the Planet of the Apes are cute. Than
they go to a world of Wild West heroes. Jonah Hex and Scalphunter
are among them and they are a match for our so called heroes. In
the next reality we see a completely unthough of team of Metron,
Darkseid, the Demon and the Kingdom Come Superman.
  Superman and Batman go back to their own origins. Superman's
goes smoothly but Batman kills his parents killer before he
kills. So Batman ceases to exist. This story goes in directions
you would never even think of.
  The art is WOW  you should see Darkseid's team. His stone
visage conveys his personality of evil and ambition. Our main
characters are drawn determined.
  It is great seeing some of the lessor used heroes and it
continues next issue as well.

Title: The Symbiotes # 3
Publisher: Drive
Writer: Davis R. Vaughn
Artist: George Lippert
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 3.95 Can
Comments: The art is so realistic at times you will think you are
looking at actual photographs of real people. The technology
displayed in the space ships is stunning. The aliens and mixed
breeds are out of this world.
  The two characters THe Witch and The Mind make only a brief
appearance but do they ever make an impression.
  The story is filled with non stop action. We get to see more of
the Symbiotes in action. They are full of confidence. The young
boy Adnan is a rare find he is a lovable character and he is
filled with an understanding of people.
  This is the perfect blending of sci-fi and super-hero
adventure.
  It gets five stars out of five stars rating.

Title: Jubilee # 4
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Derec Donovan
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: Jubilee is drawn so you can see more of her asian
decent in her face. Her eyes now are kept almost closed all the
time. The backgrounds are simple. The colors are vibrant and
outstanding.
  The story is simple as Jubilee decides to help her teacher get
her stolen car back. She ends up getting a mutant gang member to
help her. So we get to see a little light show. Its nothing
special. The real treat is Jubilee's attitude. She has a spunky
personality. She just glows with enthisiasm.

Title: Jubilee # 5
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: derec Donovan
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: For some reason the recap at the start is a total
fabrication none of it happened. It is azuzing as long as you
have been reading the series otherwise you wouldn't know it was a
lie.
  The art is fun. Jubilee goes out on a date. The dance is a dud
so they go back to her place. Just as they are about to kiss
guess who shows up. Yep Wolverine.
  Wolverine and Jubilee these two are the mutant team supreme.

Title: Flare # 2
Publisher: Heroic Publishing
Writer: Wilson Hill
Penciler: Gordon Purcell
Inker: Terry Pallot
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: The battle with Flare and Whipperette could have been
better. Each movement seemed to slow and forced. The poses do not
show off the girls at all well. Than having Whipperette show up
to decorate Flare's house that was strange.
  The second story features Sparkplug its written by Steve Perrin
& Wilson Hill and drawn by Henry Martinez. The art shows off
Sparkplug as having to harsh a body. The villians do not seem
evil they just seem silly.
  The third story is written by Dennis Mallonee and drawn by
Howard Bender. This is a story for a child. Its simple, basic and
boring. The art is simple as well.

Title: Flare # 3
Publisher: Heroic Publishing
Writer: Wilson Hill
Penciler: George Purcell
Inker: Terry Pallot
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: Unfortunately there is almost no action in this issue.
The Black Enchantress stops by for a visit and chats with Flare.
Shes not even in costume.
  The victim of the darkdust sitting in the hospital is drawn
wonderfully insane. Her eyes and the shading around them really
bring across her mental state.
  The second story is written by Steven Perrin and drawn by Terry
Pallot. The art is good. The art is good. Sparkplug is shown as a
well muscled female figure. She has a lot of attitude to. The
story is just her going out on a date. So not to much happens.
  The third story written by Dennis Mallonee and drawn by Howard
Bender is a tale for children. The art is childish as well.

Title: ANT trade paperback
Publisher: Arcana
Writer: Mario Gully
Artist: Mario Gully
Price: $ 9.95 US, $ 13.95 Can
Comments: Hanna has created in her journal a fantasy world where
she becomes the world's greatest hero ANT. Hanna uses her journal
as a way to escape from all her real problems. She plans to
become ANT when she grows up. Hanna is such an amazing little
girl. But at the end you will be really thrown for a loop as we
learn maybe ANT was real and Hanna make believe. Or is there more
still to come as her adventures seem far from over whether as
Hanna or ANT.
  ANT is a work of art. Mario Gully draws her in a skin tight red
sprayed on suit. She is sexy. All her poses are provocative. The
battles are fierce. She is shown as one tough woman. The way her
antennae move will have you spellbound. They act as both
defensive and offensive weapons.
  The back of the comic is filled with pin-ups of ANT. Mario
Gully definitely knows how to draw the female form you will not
be disappointed.
