Best Coming Last Week: Uncanny X-men #523

Yo folks, it should come at no suprise that Uncanny X-men #523 was the best coming last week!

The story continues as hope and Cable try to hook up with the X-men while being hunted by pretty much every mutant hating organization in the universe!

Check out the great pencils by Dodson! Look at wolverine giving Cyclops his respect, a current trend that i'm really digging.

Cable and Hope try to fight to survive. The story has a slight Terminator (Hope = John Connor) vibe to it, but damned if it isn't a good use of the idea.

Great moments where you thinkg they are safe, but end up having to run again.

And if that ain't enough to get you to pick up the book...i guess i'll have to revel one of the bad guys...how about Bastion??? the super Sentinel/Nimrod hybrid mutant hunter?!?

Second coming part #1 has sold out already, and second printing has been announced. So if you missed out let Heroes World staff know you want in on 2nd print, and in the meantime scoop up Uncanny #523 while they last!

Best Comic Last Week: X-men Second Coming #1

So in a week where Blackest Night #8 hits...i'd have to say somehow X-men Second Coming #1 manages to beat it out and become...THE BEST COMIC LAST WEEK!

While i may be bias as the X-men have been my all time favorite comic property...EVER! It was a REALLY good read. For those of you that don't know since M-Day (see House of M TPB) there are less than 198 mutants left on the earth. And since M Day there have been NO mutant births since..except for one child, known as Hope. Cyclops the current leader of the X-men believe her to be mutant kinds savior and sent her, along with Cable into the future for safe keeping (see Messiah Complex TBP). And now they have returned.

Now is the mutants darkest hour, with their population rapidly diminishing, survival from extinction rests on the shoulders of Cyclops! You see Cyclops has achieved what Professor X, Apocalypse, Magneto, and many more could not...he has consolidated all the power of the mutant population. Cyclops has become the leader of essentially the entire mutant race! Which is totally badass! he's cold, he's smart and he's kicking ass and taking names. He's the Batman of the X-men. He's willing to do whatever it takes to save his race.

Including sanctioning the team known as X-force to do alot of dirty work...re: killing folks that need to be killed! check out this action spread!

This issue seems to move so fast, it's crazy...so much ground is covered, and even if you have't read previous X-men stuff you'll be caught up quickly. Also wicked art by David Finch helps as well. This is probalby one of the coolest panels ever...the X-men being teleported into action.

Second Coming is the 3rd part of the Messiah Complex trilogy (Messiah Complex, Messiah War, Second Coming) and will take place over the course of 14 chapters that will spread though out the X-title line up...if this is any indication of the series then it will be one hell of a ride!

Best Comics from Last couple Weeks!

Sorry guys, falling behind here...so here's the best comics from the last couple weeks

Best comic 3 weeks ago: Powers #1

Wow, i can't tell you how good this book is! This is one of those books where truly anything can happen. Powers is basically about cops in a world of super heroes, Christan Walker is a detective in the homicide POWERS division, so he deals with murders and deaths involving the super powered.

This is the all new powers starting anew at #1 and here is issue #3...and man was this a great climax to the series so far...first two issues were so really good set up by bendis, who i will admit can run wild with dialogue sometimes, but man this was worth it, this issue was definitely a wicked pay off.

If your a fan of shows like The Shield, or the Wire, Sopranos, etc you'll love this book! where else can you see panels like this?!?

Best comic 2 weeks ago: Siege #3

First off...AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!

Next we get Thor vs Sentry!! oh yeah!

and then add on the return of real deal Ironman?!?

Easily the best comic 2 weeks ago! and if your not reading The Siege...your way out of the loop! it's the return of Captain America, Thor and Ironman power houses! Norman Osborne has gone nutso and decided to take Asguard (thor's land). So far Ares has fallen...and fallen hard, he won't be around for sometime because that death was pretty clear.

Best comic last week: Secret Warriors #14

Now we're back up to date! The best comic last week was...SECRET WARRIORS #14!! oh yeah...why aren't you reading Secret Warriors? first off it has Dum Dum in it! oh yeah, he's back.

It's got crazy twists!

The art is absolutely phenomenal! check out this page!

For those of you not in the know...aka the non-cool people...Secret Warriors follows Nick Fury and his band of Secret Warriors, a strike team he put together to take down hydra...who has apparently been pulling Shield's strings from the begining...oh wait...there is even another force pulling hydra's strings! can't wait till the next issue.

allllll right, that gets us back to speed! what will be the best comic this week??? hmmm, it'll be tough, because Blackest Night #8 hits! also stay tuned for a new edition of "Aww...your bones!"

Best Comic Last Week: Wolverine Weapon X #11

SORRY GUYS, LITTLE LATE IN TRANSFERRING THIS POST TO THE BLOG! SO IT'S BASICALLY LAST LAST WEEKS BEST BOOK!

So the best comic last week yet again features more return of Captain America action!
This time it's two of marvels oldest (age wise that is) characters hitting up a pub crawl!! The issue has some really great moments where they deal with caps death...of course wolvie plays it off like it's nothing...stating in fact that he was there for Cap's first "death", a very nice touch.

Now Jason Aaron has this wicked ability to throw in some sillyness and make it cool as hell. Enter Deathlok in a terminator like role, looking to eliminate key players in current time line. Great use of an older character!

Wolverine Weapon X has totally delivered on being it's own wolverine book and it's story arcs like this that will really make the book. Jason Aaron has become one of my favorite Marvel writers as he seems to know we're dealing with comic books here so he throws in just the right about of "out there" ideas but keeps it grounded. If you like this book be sure to check out Ghost Riders: Heaven's on Fire that just hit in TPB this week!

Best Comic Last Week: New Avengers #62

Best comic last week...easily New Avengers #62. Not only did it feature loads of Spider-man 7 Spider-woman action, but it also featured Steve Rogers back in action! Steve and Bucky side by side dealing with the Living Laser...and then add Luke cage to boot!

The book also features some of the best reactions to the return of Cap...something that was sorely missing from the Reborn series. Also loving Steve in the Black Ops style gear.

Immonen does a wicked job as usual and you got Daniel Acuna filling in for the Spider-man action. AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Beat Comic Last Week - Batgirl #7

okay, so i might not be exactly last week, but i'm a bit behind here. Anyways, the best comic last week was...BATGIRL #7!

i know you maybe be shocked to learn but there is some serious darkness going on in regular batman titles as of late. Batman, Streets of Gotham and Detective are fairly dark. Red Robin is basically old school batman, and Batman & Robin is actually getting a little complex...but we have Batgirl here to bring in some light fun.

The attitude of the book is very similar to early robin and nightwing titles. You have Steph and mentor Barbra Gordon (original batgirl) trying to carve their place after the loss of Bruce. This story arc we actually get Batman and Robin in the title as well! And the very fun Batgirl and Robin Team-up! Damion and Steph's interactions are worth checking out alone.

"You swing like a GIRL!"
