Avengers and X-Men: AXIS begins this week. Alex Summers could be a pivotal hero in the war against the new Onslaught.

 

Rick Remender took Havok from back burner X-Man to leader of the Avengers Unity Squad two years ago in Uncanny Avengers. Now Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Children of the Atom are united against the power of the Red Skull.

 

Alex and Janet Van Dyne shared a love and a daughter in an alternate world that was sacrificed to defeat Kang the Conqueror and reset reality. Will that loss lead to Havok joining the Red Skull? In an earlier AXIS teaser it seemed the villain was making a direct appeal to Alex. Continue reading HAVOK In AXIS

Jada Pinkett Smith strikes like a tiger shark on Gotham as Fish Mooney. Could the mobster muscle her way into Batman comics?

Gotham reveals the origin stories of the Dark Knight’s greatest allies (Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Renee Montoya, Sarah Essen) and enemies. The future Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy and Catwoman have been seen so far.

Producers created Fish Mooney just for the series. Jada Pinkett Smith brings the the sexy, ruthless and vicious mob boss to evil life. Fish runs the theater district under Carmine Falcone and made Oswald Cobblepot her slave until she had him “retired.” Smith and Robin Lord Taylor fittingly “stole the show” as the criminal mistress and misfit in the premiere episode.

Confession:

This lifelong comic book fan has never cosplayed for a comicon or Halloween.
Last Halloween I did an impromptu Cyclops with a genetically altered with X-Men gear track jacket and a pair of visors that would impress Scott Summers.

 

This year I may actually go out as a superhero for Halloween and this would be a test run for Emerald City Comicon 2015. Continue reading HAVOK HALLOWEEN

How did Cyclops go from Professor X’s golden boy to his killer?

 

Scott Summers inspires hate and devotion.

 

Even when he was the uptight boy scout, fans rooted for Jean Grey to choose Logan. Scott evolved into a General giving marching orders for an X-Men army then became what you could call the new Magneto.

 

Now Cyclops leads the mutant revolution in Uncanny X-Men. How did his go from Xavier’s heir-apparent to such a divisive character? Continue reading BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS On EVOLUTION Of CYCLOPS
