X-MEN: DEADLY GENESIS #4 Reviewer: Jason Grasso, Desperad07@aol.com Story Title: Deadly Genesis: Part Four Ed Brubaker is out of his Vulcan mind. Writer: Ed Brubaker Layouts: Trevor Hairsine Finishes: Scott Hanna Colorist: Val Staples Letterer: Artmonkeys' Dave Lanphear Cover: Marc Silvestri Production: Brad Johansen Assistant Editor: Nathan Cosby Editor: Mark Paniccia Editor In Chief: Joe Quesada Published by: Marvel Comics Warning: I'll be spoiling whatever is left that hasn't been spoiled by Marvel itself! The myth and mystery of the Third Summers Brother is one of the biggest dangling plot points in recent comic book history. Nearly 13 years of speculation were bourne out of an offhanded comment from Mr. Sinister to Cyclops in X-Men #23 ("you and your brothers"). The matter was never directly addressed again and grew into a legend amongst X-Men fans. Some surmised that Adam-X was the third Summers brother based on his presumed (since confirmed by Fabian Nicieza) relation to Katherine Summers. Others have guessed that Gambit's connection to Mr. Sinister and his red eyes implied he could be the long lost brother. (A point that is ineffectively covered in X-Men: The End, though it is not considered official canon.) Robert Weinberg, once intended to unveil Apocalypse as the third brother via a complex story arc in Cable but his stint ended prematurely and so did his plans. Consider the speculation over. The mysteries behind the events of the last three issues start to come into focus. Issue #4 opens up with a flashback to Professor Xavier visiting Moira MacTaggert after his team has gone missing on Krakoa. His desperation to find his lost students leads him to request the use of Moira's students. This information is told through flashback even though the account of it is being told via tapes that Moira recorded in secret (which Banshee lost his life delivering) to Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Beast. We learn that the mutants from the last three issues' back-up story segments are the students Professor X intends to use to save his missing team. Sway, the girl who could control time; the geo-morph Petra; Darwin, the evolving boy; and lastly a mutant we will not flash back to until the story proper concludes in this issue, Kid Vulcan. The orphaned energy manipulator prefers Vulcan over his given name, Gabriel, though even he is unaware of what his last name is. His back-up story puts him in a presumably- Shi'ar setting which could adopt some of what we thought Adam-X's origin was. The overtly-modernized setting of all the back-up stories up until now was been perplexing given that these characters' back- up stories took place a long time ago. I understand that comic book time moves slower but nothing about the flashbacks has implied depth in time. It also would've been more interesting to utilize the technique that was used with The Sentry, utilizing the style of artists from the time you're paying homage to (in this case, how about something in the style of Neal Adams or Dave Cockrum?). That all said, this one time it is finally befitting since Vulcan's story takes place in outer space! Moira's students are asked to help the X-Men, which given their reverence for Xavier's team, is easily agreed upon. The team undergoes months of training in an experimental mindscape method in which only hours pass by in the real world. Moira repeatedly makes her reservations known to which Xavier replies with aggressive statements about facing the real world and meeting their destinies, akin to the type of persuasion Magneto has used (something Moira herself notes). But there is no turning back now as the team finally heads off to Krakoa. Meanwhile, Cyclops and Marvel Girl start to discern more information regarding their captor not to mention, the location of their capture. She discovers his powers have been amped up recently and he's not in complete control of them. They also discover that they are being held at a research facility run by Moira in America. Cyclops has a vague recollection of it but can't recall his memories. That's when Vulcan makes a Magneto- esque reentrance to claim that Cyclops' memories were manipulated by Professor X. And oh yeah, Vulcan calls Cyclops big brother. Marvel drops the ball on this one for ruining the surprise. If nobody had come out and started rambling about the Third Summers Brother and its place in this title, then the shock would've been much more entertaining. But since it was revealed, it became much more about the execution. I did not know anything about what this series when it started other than its connection to the 30th anniversary of Giant-Size X-Men #1 and trying to find the missing Charles Xavier. And I certainly didn't think reading normal internet interviews would divulge such a spoiler. I'm also a little concerned with a comic book convention that Brubaker is almost single-handedly perpetuating. That a dead or forgotten hero would return so many years later and suddenly be evil and/or deadly. It's a drastic stretch in characterization that, even with the assistance of mind control, dilutes the integrity of the original characterization. If the key person to blame here is Professor X or Baron Zemo or the Joker or whoever, then why not focus all the rage on that person? (In this case, Xavier is responsible for the mission and rigging everyone's heads to forget about this X-Men 1.5 team, if you will.) Good people don't fight their enemies by destroying the lives of the innocent people their enemies associate with. Brubaker's revelation of the third Summers brother was done in an interesting manner. I certainly applaud him for heading back to Krakoa to mine an interesting and creative story from the X-Men's past. It's just unfortunate that once revealed, the story has now taken on the same template (presumed-dead good guy comes back for revenge) as his two other biggest works (Captain America, Batman). It remains to be seen the full context of Vulcan's story and Professor X's side of things and I'm not taking away from the story itself, which is a really thrilling read. It's just has its flaws, too. We still need to see the actual timeline of events regarding the loss of Vulcan's team, the entrance of the classic Giant-Size team, and when all the mind manipulation occurred. And there really isn't a good way for Professor X to return to all this in a good light. For all of that, I'm excited to see the new dynamic this creates and how this all folds into the upcoming Civil War.

His website for his comic imprint is www.shandafantasyarts.net ] ANOTHER IN THE LONG LIST OF COMICS TO FILM THAT NEVER MADE IT Cartoonist JIMMY HATLO came up with a great panel gag in the 1930's (which still runs today, done by others) called THEY'LL DO IT EVERY TIME. He was reportedly surprised when a little girl character who often appeared began getting reader response, but he and his crew began doing a daily strip of LITTLE IODINE which from 1943 to 1986. Iodine can be best described as a female predecessor of DENNIS THE MENACE in her activities, but actually made it onto the movie screen in 1946. The film didn't do well, ending thoughts of a series, but the actress that played her mom became a television superstar in the 1960's. IRENE RYAN was best known to TV viewers as GRANNY on THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [11] Rich's Reviews Richard Vasseur richardv@sympatico.ca http://www.jazmaonline.com [Rich has been collecting comic books for about 25 years. He belongs to two comic book clubs Jazma and ORCA. He has been writing reviews for Jazma's paper newsletter for about 2 years and has his own review page at www.jazmaonline.com] SPOILER WARNING: Some plot details may be revealed in these reviews! Title: Doris Danger Seeks...Where Giant Monsters Creep and Stomp # 1 Publisher: Salt Peter Press Writer: Chris Wisnia Artist: Chris Wisnia Price: $ 9.95 US Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Comments: This is a huge oversized comic, its enormous. The introduction is humorous reading and if it doesn't illicit a laugh from you your probably dead. The pin-up pages that start this comic off are reminiscent of Jack "The King" Kirby. Its a wonderful tribute to him. "Spluhh! The Thing Who Burst From An Exploding Volcano!" has Doris Danger going in search of giant alien monsters. The army, the M.L.A. and Doris find their monster and more. "Terror Lurks Deep in the Heart of Africa" these stories do have long titles almost longer than the stories. Aliens, robots and space ships all make for excitement. ""Fuggabluh"! The Eiffel Terror!" Dick Ayers performs the inks on all the Doris Danger stories. You can see how nice they look since the art is black and white. The story is ful of weird people and you will never ever have as many strange words anywhere. "When Plopsplu Collides With The Honking Thing!" starts out with a wonderful drawing of two gargantuan monsters. The battle is short and inconcisive. There are always people rushing in; red necks, Fez men, robots. Lots of people always show up around these monsters. "When I Learned The Appalling Secret of...Krakapoo!" is it a monster, is it a robot, is it a mongoloid midgit (teensy weensy mini man)? Who really knows? Will Chokey choke Doris? "Aahblaah! The Creature Who Defied All Science...By Punching" this is the origin of Doris Danger's quest to find Giant Monsters. She was experimented on as a young teen by a Giant Monster. The art showing off the monster is stunning. The back of the comic is filled with more pin-ups. These drawings are wonderful to behold. If you love nonsence adventures and Giant Monsters this is for you. Grab it before it grabs you! Title: Super Teen Topia # 0 Publisher: Alias Enterprises Writer: Kirk Kushin Artist: Gonzalo Martinez Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Comments: Are super powers a gift from God? Or the Devil? The siluette of super heroes looks vaguely familiar just like the JLA. Paige Hopkins is drawn as one beautiful girl. Her body and face are drawn realisticly not like some super heroes that are over endowed. Of course she is not a super hero yet. The big mouse head robot from the Automation Nation is done in shades of grey. The technological suit does look pretty impressive even with the rodent head on it. Mecha-Mouse is facing Blackjack and Trident. What stands out in this comic are the characters. We see into their real lives, these are not just super teens they are real life people leading real lives. This zero issue includes some beautiful sketches at the back. Super Teen Topia is looking like one cool group. Paige though is stunning and she is a sweetheart. It will be interesting to see how she handles beating up bad guys. She could charm them into submission. Title: Super Teen Topia # 1 Publisher: Alias Enterprises Writer: Kirk Kushin Artist: Gonzalo Martinez Price: $ 3.50 US Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Comments: Nice explosive action scene as Blackjack slams a fist into Darkheart. Blackjack's costume is well designed, he looks ultra cool. But its only a daydream his real life costume is kind of tacky. Paige looks cute using her abilities as she ends up on her butt in mud. Diva is a cute teen girl and she knows how to use her TK powers. The action shots are amazing. As Paige, Trident and Blackjack go into action together for the first time, they need a lot of work but they get the job done. Along with Diva all the characters have been introduced and they look like everyday teens and they are they just happen to have powers and want to save people and beat up bad guys. This is a fun read with lots of action and some teen drama. It also appears as if we will be seeing a few romantic scenes in up coming issues. The girls though are drawn gorgous but realisticly. The boys are normal teen boys. Dreaming of being heroes and chasing girls. Title: Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight # 200 Publisher: DC Writers: Eddie Campbell and Daren White Artist: Bart Sears Price: $ 4.99 US, $ 6.75 Can Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Comments: Gotham General is the setting as we start out. The medical staff are shown doing a professional job. One young female medical personal is unsure but she keeps it together and does her job with the support of her fellow workers. The Joker is looking insane but also crafty. While Batman has a look of sheer determination on his face. After Batman brings the Joker in to the hospital he looks very intimidating as he waits while the staff try to revive him. Batman steps in to get the Joker up and running and he follows him. The Joker has a third bomb that Batman is going to stop from going off. The Joker in a hospital well it is fitting since the majority of the people there are there because of him. Setting off bombs in a city can fill a hospital. The Joker thought people no longer thought he was Gotham's number one villian. So he had to make sure they knew. So hundreds suffer and die. The Joker doesn't care as long as he is number one. Thats his only concern. Batman as usual is ineffective at capturing the Joker. They are fairly evenly matched. Both in there own way outcasts from society. Both perhaps not quite all there. Which makes for an entertaining comic. Title: 100 Girls # 7 Publisher: Arcana Studio Writer: Adam Gallardo Artist: Todd Demong Price: $ 2.95 US, $ 4.50 Can Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Comments: As Sylvia talks Adam Gallardo who also letters as well as writes comes up with a unique way of showing that there are multiply personalities inside her. The battle is going strong as Sylvia shows off her newly aquired powers while under attack. Sylvia is a sweet little eleven year old girl who has been turned into a cold blooded killer. She doesn't want to be a killer but she is tough and will defend herself. You can see the look of anguish on her face and disorientation. You can tell she is in over her head, she is only eleven and she has to deal with clones, secret experiments, super powered attackers and running away from home. The hardest part could be merging with all the other clones like her and aquiring so many new super powers. This comic is something completely different. Sylvia after joining with all these other girls has become something totally different and where that will lead her not ecen she knows. This is the last issue for now, but lets hope not forever. Title: Jack The Lantern: 1942 # 1 Publisher: Castle Rain Entertainment Writer: Michael Angelos Penciler: Jerry Beck Inker: Tony Bledsoe Price: $ 3.95 US, $ 4.75 Can Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Comments: Jack Gordon Corby is possessed by the demon Argotakar and we se both on the first page in one awesome drawing. Jack can change form into Argotakar. Argotakar is a fearsome looking creature. The story though is to wordy. And there are lots of typeographical errors. Now when we see action Jack as Argotakar can go all out. Flames shooting from his hand. His axe that can cut up a tank is a weapon of wonder. The battle between demons has a release of powers as they go all out. Jack and Fraser with his magical sword stand triumpant. Jack has a lot of potential. In an issue that has less talk and more action this character would really shine. Title: Ghost Rider # 6 Publisher: Marvel Writer: Garth Ennis Artist: Clayton Crain Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Comments: The Ghost Rider on his fiery cycle looks like a hellish demon. Although the art is to dark so some of it is hard to make out. The body of Kazann's angel form shines out in its blue and white coloring like a glowing beakon. Its nice to see a lowly secretary is the one who makes the difference in this battle on Earth between Heaven and Hell. Ghost Rider helps vanquish the demon back to Hell. He earns his freedom only to find out the angel Malachi lied to him he cannot free him. Ghost Rider is still stuck in Hell. He was played all along. All the demons and angels used him. Ghost Rider is trapped in Hell but he will never give up trying to escape. Title: Purgatori # 4 Publisher: Devil's Due Writer: Robert Rodi Artist: Cliff Richards Price: $ 2.95 US Rating: 1 out of 5 stars Comments: Rath tells his story to Purgatori. He was the Grand Vizier to the Emperor. But he was not happy with that he wanted to be Emperpr. Listening to him narrate his tale is actually very boring. Its not intreging, there is very little action. The Gods punish him for all the evil he has caused by turning him into a vampire still evil only now he has to hide as he is a despised preditor accursed and feeding off of people. Rath has bitten Purgatori so she now has the hunger for blood. The art is not flattering at all. To many shadows and also the colors blend to well together so people do not stand out as well as they should. Maybe next issue the action will pick up. Title: the Necromancer # 4 Publisher: Top Cow Writer: Joshua Ortega Penciler: Francis Manapul Inkers: Rob Hunter & Mark Prideaux Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.60 Can Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Comments: Abigail decides to change her look. She goes from perky blonde to hot mysterious red hear. Than her training begins. The scenery is magestic. Abby learns quickly as magic sems to come naturally to her. The demon torturing her is a evil sinester masterpiece of drawing. But how did she end up in its cluths? The story needed more action and to get into the characters more. The art was great Abby looks so cute. Title: Supergirl # 4 Publisher: DC Writer: Jeph Loeb Penciler: Ian Churchill Inker: Norm Rapmund Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.00 Can Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Comments: Supergirl has been split into two beings one good one bad and both are sexy. Lex Luthor caused the split with black Kryponite and now he battles the bad one. Both are tough and sure they can beat the other. But Lex wears a suit for his powers she doesn't. On the moon this evil Supergirl who looks really cool in a black and silver costume, complete with sexy mini skirt meets Green Lantern John. She takes his ring and uses it on him than throws it away she has no use for it. She has power a plenty. Enough to handle Hawkman, Black Canary, Flash and Martian Manhunter. Five members of the JLA go down. Who can stop her now? The Girl of Steel takes on the Mistress of Might! Next issue. The art is outstanding. Supergirl and evil Supergirl both are so super beautiful. Title: Green Lantern # 8 Publisher: DC Writer: Geoff Johns Penciler: Carlos Pacheco Inker: Jesus Merino Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.00 Can Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Comments: Green Arrow and Green Lantern show their will power as they break free from Mongul's mind controling plants. Mongul's sister shows up to join the battle. GL teleports them away. There we see how Mongul deals with a sister he considers weak. It is a violent bloody and permanent goodbye. The art is good but the heroes and villians need more action poses. The experience with Mongul proves good for Gl and Ga as both decide that maybe family is more important than they tought. Both decide to spend some quality time with family. Its a nice heart touching ending. Title: Legion of Super-Heroes # 14 Publisher: DC Writer: Mark Waid Pencilers: Ken Lashley & Adam DeKraker Inkers: KWL Designs & Rodney Ramos Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.00 Can Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Comments: The Legion is flying high. The art looks fantastic. The Legion finally gets UP sanctioning so they are on equal footing with the Science Police. While their headquarters are being rebuilt the team stay at Colossal Boy's house. It is huge. It is fun as they move around the house and they look so small. They have a memorial for Dream Girl and Lightning Lad speaks at it. His words are from the heart and will bring a tear to your eye. His speach is perfect. Karate Kid and Shadow Lass are fun as they talk about letters sent in about this comic. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- COMICS OBSCURA Mike Curtis shandafa@cyberback.com [COMICS OBSCURA are facts Mike Curtis has dug out during his 30 years of collecting Superman and writing about comics.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Name: Caped Crusaders 101 - Composition through Comic Books Publisher: McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers Website: www.mcfarlandpub.com Email: bcox@mcfarlandpub.com Written by: Professor Jeffrey Kahan and Professor Stanley Stewart Comments: This book needs to be on every comic book collector's book shelves! I enjoyed the feature "Comics Save Us from Illiteracy", with audience readership statistics, scientifically analyzed. There is detailed commentaries on Marvel's black heroes...Luke Cage and The Falcon that bring back old memories. Comics faced social struggles through various stories and Luke Cage/The Falcon show those struggles and they are brought to light. When Luke Cage first started out, he was in the hero business for the lucrative profits, not much of a hero then, but later his life turned around and he started protecting and defending his African American heritage and his people. There was a time when The Falcon became Captain America, when Cap was thought to be dead. This was not approved by the white audience, nor by the black audience of comic book readers. In this book, it also covers comics and how some stories related to the cold war, Communism and even Desert Storm. One feature deals with the troubling life of the Hulk, his problems in connecting with women like Betty and somewhere in his mind, he harbors the resentment of his father killing his mother while he was still a baby. Caped Crusaders 101 is a great read, an essential comic book reference book the prefigures much that has occurred in comic book history, the popular media and the high and low culture of comics from the beginning to the present! I highly recommend this book! MOE Sidenote: As I entered the A1 Comics Stargate, here are some of the realities I discovered: F. Paul Wilson's The Keep #4 by IDW; Conan #25 by Dark Horse Comics; The Goon #16 by Dark Horse Comics; The Luna Brothers - Girls #10 by Image; Giffen & DeMatteis' Planetary Brigade #1 by Boom!; DMZ #4 by Vertigo; Polly and the Pirates #3 by Oni Press;The Backwards Folding Mirror #2 by Jesse Moynihan; Elk's Run #4 - The Gatesville Company - Athena Voltaire #1 all by Speakeasy Comics; Fallen Angel #1 by IDW; Brian Wood/Ryan Kelly - Local #1 by Oni Press; Keif Llama Xenotech by Matt Howarth/Aeon; Capcom's Killer 7 #1 by Kinetic Komicz/DDP; Revolution on the Planet of the Apes #2 by Mr. Comics; Strange Girl #6 by Image; The Phantom #9 by Moonstone Comics. Below are a few comments on some comic books that I purchased..... Conan #25 by Dark Horse Comics: To survive in the barbarian world, you had to be a stone cold killer, example of that is in Conan #25, when it is yelled..."10 in gold for each man you down and 50 for the leader!". Now, I can sit there and not believe in this money making scheme, but it's true according to the History Channel. What a terrible way to survive. To become a soldier and set your eyes to killing, to make money, to bring food to the table, to raise a family. Conan is a story I enjoy reading, but I would not partake in this kind of livelihood. Conan with his humongous ego, thinks he is invulnerable to everything, he yells out that he is a Cimmerian and can go right through. His boasts are truthful and that is why he is legend. I dedicate this letter to Jeff Scott Clifford who died 2/17/06 from a malignent brain tumor. Jeff is the co- founder of Jazma Online!, letter-hack, reviewer, comic book enthusiast/collector and interviewer. Godspeed to Jeff. The Goon #16 by Dark Horse Comics: I just got done watching Saw II and I must say that The Goon #16 is right up there with Saw II, as I witness an eye being plucked from the socket. In fact The Goon can be more grisly than any horror movie. Without the goryness, then you have solid punches and maybe some good shootouts, as The Goon is also good with guns. The Goon like always was fast-paced and full of action. I loved the crossover picture celebrating 20 years of Dark Horse Comics. Who would have ever thought that The Goon would be next to Darth Vader? The Luna Brothers Girls #10 by Image: I was thrilled to get my hands on The Luna Brothers Girls #10 issue! I was shopping for comics with a fellow comic afficianado and the first thing he asked me was...if Girls was something like Strangers in Paradise. I told him not at all, unless SIP has naked flesh eating girls! He purchased his first issue! Revolution of the Planet of the Apes #2 by Mr. Comics: Wow! Revolution on the Planet of the Apes is a thrill-a-minute. I love the comic book version, the story continues and the comic book compliments the TV series and all of the movies. The artwork is spectacular and fine detailed. I love the part in issue #2, where the human looks at the ape and yells...'this is inhuman!" and the ape merely says that the shock table was created by humans, torture and mayhem is essentially human! Well, not in those exact words, but words to that effect! That statement is so true. In fact, humans can be inhuman easily. Animals are innocent, humans are the biggest predators on this Earth. When I read this comic book, sometimes I want the apes to kick butt on the humans, to put them in their places. Anyway, this is another good issue! Many thanks! Oh, I would love to do an interview with Ty and Joe, they are superb writers! Strange Girl #6 by Image: After reading Strange Girl #6, I had to laugh my behind off. I love Bloato! I love Bloato's reference to the movie line in Cool Hand Luke. Bloato's sarcastic wit stays intact, even when he is incarcerated! I would love to see Bloato do a crossover with Hellboy. I would love to see how they would be able to work together and how their personalities might clash or come together. That would be a great crossover! I'm getting a bit edgy, now that Sutadoh has been informed that the girl has been found, things are going to get a tad topsy turvy with this story! Yikes! The Phantom #9 by Moonstone Comics: In The Phantom #9, I enjoyed the thorough definition on what a conflict diamond is. That makes complete sense. Everything seemed pretty realistic in this story, even the Belgium Malique Brothers who are thugs that love torture, mayhem to get their mission accomplished. They seemed like tough brutes and I wouldn't want to cross their paths in a dark alley. The story was intriguing and I love the way Interpol is thrown into this investigation. Chuck Dixon like always is a majestically good writer and delivers adventure. Darkness falls upon this Phantom tale of mystery, as the slave trade in Africa is explained in this dramatic story. Kudos to Eric J for his detailed penciling and Peter Guzman who brings the inking alive in this comic book! Lee Falk's legacy lives on with this great comic book! _________________________________________________________________ Thanks for subscribing to the Comic Book Network Electronic Magazine (CBEM) --------------------------->Disclaimer<--------------------------- This is an ANNOUNCE only mailing list, only the Editor can send messages to the list.
