Best of Last Week:
Deadpool: Invisible Touch Infinity Comic #1 – These infinity comics take some getting used to. This story was fun, with Deadpool trying to get the flash drive that has many of Tony Stark’s and Reed Richards’ invention plans on it. My issue wasn’t the story or art, but rather the up and down scrolling for the infinity comics.
Gamma Flight #1 – It’s a good introduction issue for someone who didn’t complete the Immortal Hulk. I like the team and it’s interesting seeing Titania and the Absorbing Man as good guys. I’ll stick with this for an arc to see if it’s worth a long-term read.
Star Wars: Darth Vader #13 – Vader and Ochi track down Droids, including IG-88, who are searching for Solo. Vader takes the droid down to find out that Crimson Dawn is back. This was one of the better issues of the War of the Bounty Hunters, but that isn’t saying much.
S.W.O.R.D. #6 – This is S.W.O.R.D.’s turn at the Hellfire Gala, but rather then being on Krakoa, they are on Mars after it’s been terraformed. They have dignitaries from different alien species to treat space like mutants have treated Earth; rather then giving medicines, they are offering a new metal that will redefine the cosmos. It’s a good issue, but I think it’s setting up mutants for a big fall.
Way of X #3 – I really liked the theory of what this book could do, but it really hasn’t executed yet. I like the potential of Legion as a member of the team, so maybe this will pick up. It’s really just coming off as a big setup for the Onslaught revival. I’ll keep reading since I haven’t given up on an X-Book yet.
Wolverine #13 – This is a continuation of the X-Force story with the Terra Verde delegates. Deadpool has a cameo as he tries to crash the Gala, but ends up helping X-Force. It also sets up the next Marauders arc and continues Beast’s downward spiral. I liked it.
Don’t forget, the Krakoa Mutant Tracker is (supposed to be, but not right now) updated weekly as new books come to Marvel Unlimited.
