Generation Hope #13
Hope leads her team of young mutants to find a new recruit in China. They find Sebastian Shaw. Is one of the X-Men’s greatest villains redeemable? As I posted earlier, the youngest X-team loses a member and gets a new creative team. New writer James Asmus delivered excellent one shots in the X-Men: Manifest Destiny collection. His Nightcrawler story is a must for all fans of the fuzzy elf!
Avengers #19
Norman Osborn is back with his Dark Avengers and H.A.M.M.E.R. Captain America is ready for him – in this issue see the new Avengers line-up in action! Here’s a quick recap: Osborn fooled the world by claiming his criminal past was over and only he could protect humanity. The ex-Green Goblin was handed the keys to the Avengers HQ and S.H.I.E.L.D. which he renamed H.A.M.M.E.R. Think that’s insane? Osborn assembled vicious criminals to pose as his own Avengers. But Osborn’s Dark Reign led to the Siege of Asgard and Osborn’s downfall…until now. You just can’t keep a psychotic criminal mastermind down.
New Mutants #34
Blink is back? You could call her the James Dean of X-Men. During the search for Generation X, Claire made only a few appearances before dying young and that made her a legend. Blink was recently resurrected by the vampiric mutant Selene in the Necrosha epic. Now the teleporting mutant is being spotted at random disasters around the world. Is Blink back as a villain? The New Mutants continue their ongoing mission to tie up loose ends and finding the long lost teleporter in the next arc.
