SPOILER WARNING!
If you haven’t read Batwoman #17 this week you may want to skip this post – even though the headline gives it away – I know!
Seriously!
OK!
Here it comes:
Congratulations Batwoman! Kate Kane proposed to her Continue reading Batwoman’s Gay Marriage Proposal
Cable and X-Men are mutants on the run. This powerhouse team has been branded as terrorists. Colossus is one of my favorite X-Men but writer Dennis Hopeless it taking the character into new territory after Avengers vs. X-Men. No Kitty Pryde. No X-Men. Domino thrives on living a life on the run. Colossus not so much as Hopeless explains:
“Colossus is definitely having the worst time of it. He’s dealing with a lot of guilt—old guilt and new guilt—and wants to atone. There’s a simple solution to all of this, but it’s tough to save the world from behind bars. Pete is torn between his guilt and his loyalty to X-Force and their mission”
Pete won’t be on the run much longer. As you can see from Cable and X-Force #6 Colossus goes to prison.
“He wants to make amends, do his time and move on from all the guilt. He likes prison in a weird way. It’s as though a weight has been lifted from his chest and he can breathe again. The only thing particularly difficult about jail is that Domino, Cable and X-Force won’t leave him alone in there.”
Hope Summers is another mutant who’s been “exiled” from the flagship X-titles. The mutant messiah is back with her “dad” and Hopeless will continue to explore Cable’s relationship with the girl he raised and his father, Cyclops.
“I think in both cases, the relationship is hard because of how similar the fathers are to their children. Hope drives Cable nuts because Continue reading CABLE AND X-FORCE: Colossus, Hope and Cyclops!
As geeks in Northwest America count down to Emerald City Comicon I look forward to seeing my favorite X-Men couple! Yes, Kitty Pryde and Colossus have broken up in the comic books. Peter was possessed by a demon, then the Phoenix go give the guy a break. Kitty is taking a cue from the movie and moving on Continue reading Kitty Pryde & Colossus! Emerald City Comicon Flashback
Marvel launches a brand new NOVA series into the Marvel Now with a superstar team but there’s a new kid under the helmet. Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness tell how teenager Sam Alexander became the new Human Rocket. Fans will now see the beginnings of the kid who debuted in Avengers vs. X-Men.
“We’ll be seeing the origin of Nova and how he is learning what it’s like to be a super hero,” Loeb shares. “He’s first got to learn Continue reading NOVA Ready to Blast Off!
Batman fans are buzzing over the potential death of a major character in the Batman family. In this previous post I speculated that Damian could be marked for (editorial) death after a sneak peek at DC’s May solicitations!
It doesn’t look good for the latest Boy Wonder after what is supposedly the cover to Batman Incorporated #8 revealed via Twitter but who knows?
I’m choosing not to reveal the images but if you are clamoring for it I’d like to recommend this Comic Book Resources link if you want to see it. That issue hits comic book shops March 26th.
In the balancing act of blogger and hard core comic book fan I want to share news and teasers while not blatantly giving away stories.
I still want to be surprised when I read comic books! I avoided the internet on Wednesday until I could read Batman #17 and Uncanny X-Men #1. I chose not to reveal the major spoilers in Amazing Spider-Man #700.
In the Batman family characters are always a target for death and resurrection (just ask Jason Todd!) so fans, writers, blogs will always be speculating on how a story will end.
Speculation is fun, spoilers are not!
So here’s my updated post on what could be a new Death in the Family:
The last chapter of this week’s Death of the Family revealed the Joker’s final shocker! While Batman Inc is not directly tied to Death of the Family could the death we’ve been expecting be due to Bruce and Talia’s blood feud and not the Joker’s maniacal manipulations?
Here’s what we know Continue reading BATMAN and Dead Robin? Updated!
Logan and Storm have the spirit on this cover of Wolverine and the X-Men #24!
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Be thankful for the love of your life or the loved ones in your life!
