Book of Slaughter 1 - Excellent source material for all things of the order.  Plus some developments that will definitely impact the main comic.  I enjoyed this.

House of Slaughter 11 - Nice start to a new arc with Jace.  Setup for what looks to be a lot of action.

Dark Web: X-Men 1 - They got me with Spidey & his Amazing Friends. A little silly but I’m in for this one.

***********************************

Iron Man - I totally understand Jimmy's feelings regarding the overuse of this issues opening theme, and I wasn't going to read this, but up at one and feeling like some Marvel, I decided to read it. The art was not bad, but I think could have been better, but the writing was pretty sharp here. I ended up thinking that I will give it the three-issue-tryout.

Legion - Lots of whacky things in this issue... yet honestly has me excited  Grin
Banshee mixes with a Spirit of Vengeance but this spirit is not trying to seek revenge so he is a Spirit of Variance (I know, sounds so dumb but it worked... in an odd way) and when said spirit takes over Banshee's body, much like a Spirit of Vengeance becomes Ghost Rider, this one goes by the name Vox Ignis, the Voice of Fire! That is cool Cheesy I finally understand that the Alter is in Legion's head, accessed by Krakoa gates and that it is adjacent to the Astral Plane... it shows up as a beach beside the Alter Grin
Found out that, according to writer Si Spurrier here, that EVERY human has an X-gene  Shocked Shocked Shocked (apparently?) and when the new Black Knight, a daughter of Dane Whitman, comes in contact with a human, she activates that X gene for one hour. Mostly stupid powers, like becoming invisible, but only from the waist up  Cheesy Cheesy No idea if this humans have the x thing is going to be picked up by other writers as this... this is kind of a big deal and it is coming from an ancillary X-Book and not the main so... yeah, we will see... or not  Cheesy Also, the book seems to be leading us to believe that this new Black Night is also responsible for Nightcrawlers new horns as when she took Angel's hand he became a huge bird-like creature. One of the X people gave the power a name, but I forgot.  Undecided
 Oh yeah, on the last page we are shown the woman that raised Nightcrawler, Margali... so I have discovered!! I had to look her up... I was so scared to see spoilers, but I made it. She has a big history that I do not know and did not check on (for fear of those same spoilers) so if anyone can tell me about her, without spoiling too much, I would appreciate it.
And that is a HUUUUUGE spoiler bar
