Whew boy!
Having to be in bed the last couple days have not hurt my reading to badly
Fire Power #3 - Eh, kind of a slow issue for me for some reason. Wife is shown in a cool light and the ending is setting up something for the next issue or two. Just okay, really, and sadly most of this series has been that way. Just okay
Empyre #6 - Couldn't wait. Had to see how it all plays out. I should have waited
Cable #4 - Bottom line, this IS the book you need to read before X of Swords starts. All 4 issues !
Excalibur #9
Excalibur #10
Excalibur #11 - Can do it no longer, I don't care, no more before or after Swords. Just not hitting for me at all
Giant Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost - Glad I finally read this as Storm's Giant is about it
Giant Size X-Men: Nightcrawler - Re-read of an okay story
Giant Size X-Men: Magento - Nice Mags story with a cool quest but not needed. Not really
Giant Size X-Men: Fantomex Loved the craziness. Need to learn more about Fantomex, this helped
Marauders #11 - Thought I had read this as I knew what happened. Guess I was spoiled? Still cool
X-Men #11 - Okay, lets clear the board and get back to the good stuff (Not that this was bad)
New Mutants #12 - What I wish I could do to some sites I know. Heartfelt story about Glob
Wolverine #5 - First of all I want to start with another huge shout out to my boy Bogdanovic. I have loved this guy since I first saw him in the New Super-Man series from DC about the Chinese JLA. Love it!! Such a good artist to go with this book. And then, on the writing side, there is Percy. Oh Percy. Percy, Percy, Percy. Like always, it seems you come up with such a cool damn idea and then you totally lose my enjoyment with further action on your part. UGH. I mean the
YES, YES and triple YES. But then ....
WTH???
Not a huge problem, but more of a head scratcher I guess.
Anyway, was pretty cool
Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 (2020) - So after the greatness that Tom Taylor achieved with DCeased, I wanted to try this new four issue series to see if Marvel could reclaim the Zombie love with their copying of a copying
Although I guess Marvel Zombies was a thing from a guest writer Krkman, a copy of his Walking Dead take ... which of course was a copy/take on so many others ... but this isn't about that
... anyway, I wanted to dive back in on the Marvel side to see how it compared, going in knowing it would be a lesser of the two. DCeased would be way better. And, I guess, yeah, overall I would say so, but man, this was pretty damn good in and of itself. So much so, that I went back to MU and found the one-shot of this. The prequal if you will. An issue that damn should have been called something else ...
Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 ... ummmm
(2019)! There, that makes such a difference
Why call the one-shot the same thing or the series the same as the one-shot? Same numbering? It is stupid. Anyway, honestly, the one-shot... this title ... wasn't as good as the first issue of the four issue limited series with the exact same name above, but it was fun going back and seeing what happened. But I suggest you do yourself a favor ... once the other title, the 2020 version of this hits the MU, read the first issue and then read this issue. You may just find, like I did, that it is a worthy story to go alongside of DC's (somewhat better) DCeased.
