Nice covers, and most of the issues actually seem interesting!

I'm not sure if this Excalibur arc involving Saturnyne will be any interesting, but this cover with Saturnyne playing the team like chess pieces at the same time Apocalypse plays her looks great. And hey, if it's bad... at least it has Betsy, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee and Rictor (and Shogo). This is my favorite team (and I'm surprised that Rictor ended up fitting perfectly with the other characters, despite having very little history with any of them).

What surprises me the most, though, is the Empyre tie-in. I was ready to ignore it, as it fortunately seems to be completely self-contained, but I do like the premise of the story! And this idea of having the main X-writers teaming up and rotating from issue to issue may give us an indication of how the X of Swords event will work out.

As for Storm... can anyone please tell me what is happening to her? I know the giant-size issue featuring Jean and Emma showed them visiting Storm's mind and saying something is wrong with her, but I have no idea of what is the problem... is she sick? Comatose?

Children of the Atom sounds like garbage. Who approved such a terrible pitch.

Dumpster fire. X-Men have sidekicks in New Mutants, Gen X and Xavier students. The chimera noobs look dumb.

Fry Ninjalocke to beef jerky Havok. Don't fall for that hag's coochie-cutter. Remember Lorna your true love.

Storm is under the weather for Kitty's death. Might be clinical depression.

FSaker said...

Oh, so Kitty is still dead? I thought she'd be back by now.

Thanks for the answer!

Children of the Atom looks really bad, the character designs look so dumb and lazy. The only character that even remotely interests me is the Gambit girl. Marvel might wanna lay off pushing out so many Dawn of X books because people are gonna start to get sick of them.

I personally like Alex and Janet as a couple, I kinda wish they would bring them back :/

Children of Atom looks like a trashcan I'm glad it doesnt tie into SoX so I dont have to buy an issue of CoA lol

The Axis ended their honey moon. Havok was Hank Pymed. How many times has he fallen victim to mind control by baddies? More than Betsy or less?
