Uncanny X-Men from a couple of weeks ago gave us a new look Magneto Not just the bald head. But also the beard. And not just the beard But also the hat. Okay, that's not shaken or stirred but I know that look.   Ba-dum-ba-daaa, ba-da-da… Ba-da-da-daa, da da daaaaah…   Exotic locales, secret agents, dangerous bars, Magneto is James[...]

The Walking Dead has proven itself to be nothing if resilient, so only time will tell if the DC and Marvel competitors will overtake and extinguish the zombie hordes. Uncanny X-Men, All New X-Men, and Amazing X-Men also appeared across numerous charts this week, while in China, Richard Stark's Parker took the top three spots[...]

Especially since they seem to single him out for attention. Meanwhile Uncanny X-Men (yes, there are lots of X-Men books out today) shows how far things have come, with similar placards… just with the religious justification removed. Is it just me, or does Stryker's chin look a little like Pat Robertson's? Uncanny X-Men, Amazing X-Men and All-New X-Men[...]

For all the criticism of Millar writing comics to be films, here is one moment that uses the nature of comics for its own, unreproduceable, purpose. "A Place To Park Your Bike" from Uncanny X-Men #15.INH written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Kris Anka You take someone posh, snooty, superior, everyone's better… and then you[...]

I will have to rectify that somewhere. It might be worth noting that the end of this week's rather wonderful Uncanny X-Men #15.INH, gave us the following promise for January.     We were wondering what might be happening with Brian Bendis' plans for a new superhero comic in the Marvel Universe, The Utopians. We weren't the only ones[...]

He'll get there eventually, when he gets a little more frustrated. Comedy basic in Uncanny X-Men #15.INI You take someone posh, snooty, superior, everyone's better… and then you portray them sleeping On their knees Cuts them right down Also, now everyone knows what Cyclops saw in her.   Are you a man, or are you a mutant?[...]

Al Ewing seems a natural successor as Greg Land's writer-of-choice to Kieron Gillen. Uncanny X-Men #15.INH Although that line from Bendis is rather Gillenesque too Uncanny X-Men #15.INH has, apparently, been shorted at a number of stores, so good luck in getting a copy The X-Men "Girls Night Out" really does take on the Claremont and[...]

Some thought it may be Uncanny X-Men #13 that cover features him (right), but it's not, and X-Men #6 is out tomorrow. He's suspected of being the son of Wolverine and Mystique what with the blue skin, red hair and claws And we know how popular kid offspring have been of late Indeed tomorrow's Catwoman also[...]

and demands a slice of that action. In New Avengers, Wolverine gets the Paul Hogan "that's not a knife" routine in his gut… …while our enterprising new member of the Uncanny X-Men finally chooses a name Looking forward to the toy already. Think Tank gives you philosophy and theology along with your action adventure, from up top of[...]

Also, see Catholicism. Wondered how Cyclops can see through that new visor of his? In Uncanny X-Men, so does Cyclops, Justice League gives us the full Shazam Family treatment And Mary wondering how she's the only one not to be wearing any pants. In Age Of Ultron #10 AI, Mark Waid revisits one of the silliest comic[...]

A look at some upcoming creator changes for Marvel Comics. Solicitations for Avengers Arena #13 and #14 smooshed all their credits together but#13 will just have Christos Gage and Karl Moline while #14 will have Dennis Hopeless and Kev Walker. Captain Marvel #15 will be drawn by Patrick Oliffe, not Scott Hepburn Morbius #8 will be drawn by[...]

If you are in your late thirties, there is a period of time in The Uncanny X-Men which is probably very special to you Chris Claremont obviously, but also Australia, Reavers, Marc Silvestri and early Jim Lee. When you pick up Wolverine And The X-Men tomorrow, don't rush to read it straight away Get home, settle[...]

So I can't deny a little flip of the heart when I saw the final page of today's Uncanny X-Men (reproduced below with funny spoilerphobic blobs) It's not the only blast to the past, quite literally There's a scene in which Cyclops lets loose the totality of his optic blast, his whole face exploding, only for[...]

Anyway, Journey Into Mystery #622-#645 is 99 cents on ComiXology this Monday, as well as Kieron's run on Uncanny X-Men between Schism relaunch and Marvel Now! relaunch, issues 1 to 20 I rather enjoyed that as well. Time to go nuts deep on this one folks I'll be seeing you forty-odd dollars lighter…. As a regular[...]

From Uncanny X-Men #136. And from the new issue of All New X-Men Including staple. Is the past destined to repeat? Probably. Reprise File is, um, I don't know, well it can't be a swipe, it's not a homage, it's an intentional mirroring, a callback to something from long ago Or maybe last week Either way, worth pointing[...]

  It must be a real arse to argue with Luke Skywalker when he pulls lines like this one from Star Wars #3 on you. Arguing about the contents of the fridge

Yay! Frazer Irving of Iron Man, Batman And Robin, Shade, Gutsville and Civil Wardrobe is joining Brian Bendis on Uncanny X-Men in April… Of late, Frazer's work has specialised in taking finished inks and digitally manipulating them into painted work It's dense, textured work with an eye for the overall design And, you know, really nice. Courtesy[...]

But the Magneto/Xorn reveal was one of the better plot twists in recent superhero comics. And it seems that Kieron Gillen rather liked it. Because in today's Uncanny X-Men #20, we get another reveal for anyone who has been reading the book during his run It's fairly early on in the book, but you might really want[...]

In the Uncanny Avengers #1 artwork Bleeding Cool first showed you last week, there was one page that has specifically caused some comment. Note the image

But this is a much better comic than it has been in the recent past… Uncanny X-Men is telling it's own AVX capsule story, but in a far more entertaining way than the main title Here we have a Mister Sinister with his own Phoenix machine that's far more successful than Tony Stark's ever was, through[...]

And yes, the other week, she dropped Ms Marvel into a version of Limbo in a volcano, to keep her in hellish torment for an undisclosed period of time. But even so, she'd still a bit of a bad ass this week in Uncanny X-Men and Avengers Vs X-Men. First things first, those of you hoping for[...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEbsDr2_jt0 Grace Randolph's geeks out over Avatar (no, that Avatar) before diving into this week's comics... The Legend of

If feels as if this may actually be paying off in the big book itself, but preparation for a scene that has already happened two weeks ago still feels badly played out.     Uncanny X-Men #14 continues its trick of providing context for the big game, but also addressing plot points hat may have emerged in the[...]

How to put an X in that circle? Apparently, Bendis will write both Uncanny X-Men and relaunch X-Men Jason Aaron will continue to write Wolverine And The X-Men And yes, as Bendis wrote, what he is actually doing with Marvel is a whole lot bigger than that Which tempts me to speculate  it will be part[...]

Over in that week's crossover title Uncanny X-Men, we get a very different tale Of Magneto, Storm and others, unable to get to the Moon (hang on, couldn't the pair combine their powers, grab Asteroid M and fly there or something?) sitting around, drinking, bemoaning the fact that they weren't part of the whole shebang[...]

I didn't. Anyway, here is the writer of Uncanny X-Men, Kieron Gillen, who has just bought a glass of red wine at the Hilton hotel bar, next door to Kapow, and he is trying to get anyone who will listen to guess how much his normal, standard glass of red wine cost here No one comes[...]

And a Captain America who changes his dialogue because of it. And read in conjunction with Uncanny X-Men #12, it does rather give such scenes added meaning… And for those who just find this all a little too homosexualesque for their tastes, don't worry, Uncanny X-Men comes to your rescue there as well by hooking up Namor[...]

And now some of the spinoff books of the crossover have joined the series in that much prized top ten of comic books selling in the North American direct market… Which means, finally, Aquaman is being outsold by both Uncanny X-Men and Avengers It's taken until April 2012. However market share is relatively unaffected, with DC holding[...]

Where is the planning? Where is the strategy? Where's the bleeding point?   It only takes one Greg Land in UNCANNY X-MEN #11 to really ramp up the absurdity of all the finger-pointing going on in Utopia, as the entirety of AvX #2 is re-enacted from the POV of the mutants And they still come off as[...]

But what feels weirder in both this comic and Uncanny X-Men, also out this week, is how the Avengers and X-Men get along They make a point of it, cooperating to take down Cable in one book, and dealing with alien menaces raining down on Earth in the other Some people have complained that advance[...]
