Marvel Comics' "Uncanny X-Men" #1, available November 14, 2018, as the first of a weekly 10-part series, is written by Matthew Rosenberg and illustrated by Mahmud Asrar, Mark Bagley and Mirko Colak, with covers by Marko Djurdjevic, Leinil Frances Yu, Edgar Delgado and a whole lot more:
"We are making 'Uncanny' as huge as we can", said Rosenberg. "We’re approaching it as if this might very well be the last 'X-Men' story ever, so let’s make it matter.
"We’re doing all hands on deck, fate of the world stuff. It’s big and scary.
"I think the best 'X-Men' stories need two things that often seem in opposition, but are entirely crucial. First they need real danger. The 'X-Men' go through more pain, hardships and suffering than any other superheroes. That’s their lot in life. And they always come out the other side,...

In case you hadn’t heard, Marvel are going ahead with their next big initiative in but a few months, relaunching many of their marquee titles under the “Fresh Start” banner. No doubt capitalizing on some of this year’s biggest blockbuster films, we’ve already learned that books such as Avengers, Venom, Thor and Black Panther will be rolling back to #1 in order to provide accessible jumping on points, to name but a few.
Of course, it was only a matter of time before the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s golden boy joined the party, once again being granted his own series in the form of Tony Stark: Iron Man. Introspective as it sounds – and it probably will be – it makes sense to actually put Tony’s name in the title and begin anew because we’ve seen the likes of Riri Williams and even Victor Von Doom under the helmet in recent years.

New creative teams. New series. New directions. New beginnings. It all kicks off this June with Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 – from former Amazing Spider-Man wroter Dan Slott!
“As a futurist, Tony Stark thought he had all the answers. But since coming back from the dead, he now sees the Marvel Universe in a whole new light!” teased editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski. “How does Iron Man continually evolve and stay relevant in a world where technology advances on a daily basis? Well, Dan Slott, Valerio Schiti, and Edgar Delgado are here to answer those questions as they take our Armored Avenger on adventures that push the boundaries comic storytelling and visuals! And Dan writes Tony with such heart…pun intended…we had to put his name in the title.”

A skilled writer carefully paces out their story. The big events – like “The Screaming Citadel” – are inevitably followed by quiet moments of reflection, giving readers a chance to catch their breath. That’s what Jason Aaron gives us in Star Wars #33.
This is a wonderful, character-centric story of the type we don’t often get in modern-day comics. Fleeing from the Empire, Luke and Leia crash land on a waterworld with only the one island. As Tie Fighters sweep across the planet hunting them down, the two must somehow manage to survive. Unfortunately, in a true Star Wars touch, they don’t realize that this waterworld is inhabited.
It’s a wonderful tale from top to bottom, and Jason Aaron takes the time to dive into Princess Leia’s thoughts in a way we haven’t...

“The Screaming Citadel” – Kieron Gillen and Jason Aaron’s second Star Wars event – is building to a climax. So far, the story’s been a pretty traditional horror plot, transposed on to the rich tapestry of our beloved Galaxy Far, Far Away. In Star Wars #32, though, Jason Aaron takes the plot in a fair few unexpected directions – and I have to say, I love it.
The secrets of the Queen of the Screaming Citadel are gradually being revealed. She’s at the center of a symbiotic hive-mind, and commands her world by sheer force of will. Meanwhile, of course, the ‘gifts’ she demands? They’re consumed. And she loves the idea of feasting on a Jedi Knight.
In the Star Wars saga, Luke Skywalker is primarily an agent of redemption. He’s the one whose belief...

No DC Comics reviews for me this week as it seems Rebirth is taking a break (unless you need to go pick up those 2nd printings!-and you should!) So I will focus a little more on Marvel. Rumbles in the rumor community are suggesting Another reboot coming Marvel’s way real soon which promises to change the landscape of the Marvel Universe again! I’m guessing it will be the fallout from this terrible Civil War going on. Remember if there’s a book you want to have checked out, let me know and I will review it!

Totally Awesome Hulk #6
Story: Greg Pak Art: Mike Choi Colors: Andrew Crossley
Review: Greg Pak turns in another fun chapter in the “Chulks” life, as Amadeus experiences the fun “misunderstanding/fight/team up against villain” encounter with Thor. Last issue Hulk was brainwashed into doing something pretty bad for Enchantress and now he must make things right. The story loosely ties into the struggles Thor is going through in her own book at the moment with Malekith nicely, and I enjoyed the continuity there. Mike Choi continues to deliver some absolutely spectacular art and really is a stand out to keep an eye on, along with the beautiful colors by Andrew Crossley. The series continues to be entertaining and nice departure from the old “Hulk Smash” story lines.

Darth Vader #15
Written by Kieron Gillen
Art by Salvador Larroca
Colors by Edgar Delgado
Published by Marvel Comics
With this issue, the “Vader Down” crossover concludes mostly the same as it began and then unfolded: with a series of fun moments in service of an incremental, mostly-incidental plot. Picking up where the previous chapter in Star Wars #14 left off, each of the specific cliffhangers gets resolved in due fashion, before the storyline as a whole is brought to a close, ending in probably the most expected (and ho-hum) way possible.
As has been the case throughout this story, writer Kieron Gillen and artist Salvador Larroca pack this issue with several fun, fist-pumping moments, from Dr. Aphra getting back in Vader’s good graces in the most over-the-top way possible (in what amounts to a great personal sacrifice for her and a big visual moment for Larroca), to an armless Threepio saving Chewbacca,...

Darth Vader #14
Written by Kieron Gillen

Letters by Joe Caramagna
Published by Marvel Comics
Continuing the “Vader Down” crossover, Darth Vader #14 continues the incremental pacing, but does manage to widen the scope of the story as the end draws near. Picking up where the previous highly entertaining chapter left off, with Luke rescued from Vader’s associates by Han, Chewbacca and Artoo while Leia finds herself face-to-face, alone, with Darth Vader, this issue manages to resolve the Leia cliffhanger in a mostly satisfying way, using that widening of the narrative to both resolve the immediate cliffhanger and provide an interesting look at Leia’s character.
Kieron Gillen, who hasn’t had much of an opportunity to write the main Star Wars heroes during his time on this series, continues to show a strong affinity for their characterization, here putting Leia in the spotlight.

Two words could be used to describe comics in 2015: scandal and rebirth. The scandals happened off the pages at both companies large and small, and the rebirth happened in the comics themselves.
Graphic Policy reported that former Dark Horse Comics editor-in-chief Scott Allie bit writer Joe Harris (X-Files Season Ten) at the Boom! Studios party at San Diego Comic Con, and he was demoted to “executive editor” even though an assault of this kind would be grounds for dismissal at almost any other company. There was also another ethical breach at Dark Horse when The Rainbow Hub journalist Emma Houxbois reported that former Bleeding Cool editor Hanna Means-Shannon broke a Dark Horse-related story while it was under embargo and didn’t disclose the fact that she was taking a job with the company.

Letters by Joe Caramagna
Published by Marvel Comics
The second chapter of the “Vader Down” crossover between Marvel’s Darth Vader and Star Wars books, this issue makes it clear that this is going to be a narrowly-focused story – that is, chiefly concerned with one specific narrative rather than a story spanning multiple threads across multiple books. That said, regular series creators Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca turn in an exciting second chapter of the story, one which moves the overall narrative forward (however incrementally) but also puts the spotlight on the book’s regular supporting cast.
In the aftermath of Vader crashing onto the planet Vrogas Vas in Vader Down #1, this issue finds the Rebels stationed on the planet (along with the newly-arrived Han and Leia, making their first appearances in this series and thus giving...

Extraordinary X-Men #1
Written by Jeff Lemire
Pencils by Humberto Ramos
Inks by Victor Olazaba
Colors by Edgar Delgado
Letters by Joe Caramagna
Published by Marvel Comics
Extraordinary X-Men #1 was definitely meant to be the flagship mutant book in All-New, All-Different Marvel with the creative team of current indie darling and All-New Hawkeye writer Jeff Lemire paired with superstar penciler Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man), who returns to the X-Men after a six year absence and is the one bright spot of this book with his quirky, angular art style. Lemire indulges in a premise so grimdark that it makes Age of Apocalypse look like Giant-Size Little Marvel AvX.
Eight months after the events of Secret Wars, the mutant race has started to dwindle as the Terrigen Mists that give Inhumans their abilities have both killed and sterilized mutants. It’s basically House of M without the epic build-up from Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel,...

Amazing Spider-Man #1
Written by Dan Slott
Art by Giuseppe Camuncoli
Colors by Marte Gracia
Published by Marvel Comics on October 7, 2015
If anything can be said for Dan Slott’s run on Spider-Man, it’s that he knows how to think in terms of the long run. But that doesn’t mean new readers are screwed.
Long-time readers of Slott’s Spider-Man epic are constantly rewarded because as each issue releases, some new plot point referencing back to seeds planted months or even years ago. The story of Peter Parker and all of the funny, dramatic, sexy, weird, and action-packed happenings around him is sprawling, fascinating, and enthralling; Slott knows how to add even more plot points hitting all of those descriptors to this already incredibly rich narrative, and if you have been along for the ride the whole way, you’re going to experience a story much deeper and rewarding than any individual story arc.
