Top 5 Picks for the Week of November 2, 2011

Uncanny X-Men #1

Uncanny X-Men #1 variant cover by Dale Keown from Marvel.com

It’s tough to be Scott Summers. The leader of the X-Men has endured more than his share of defeats and deaths. Some of his oldest friends have left him after the Schism conflict. His dream of united nation of mutants on Utopia is over.

With Regenesis, Cyclops rallies his troops and soldiers on but will the new team be ready for a newly resurrected Mister Sinister? Carlos Pacheco joins Kieron Gillen on this restart. It’s not Xavier’s dream anymore, it’s all Scott.

 

Fear Itself #7.1 Captain America

It was the biggest heartbreak of the “Fear Itself” epic. This issue is a chance to say goodbye. Ed Brubaker delivers a eulogy to this fallen soldier.

 

X-Men #20

Cyclops’ field team (Storm, Psylocke, Warpath, Domino, and Jubilee) debuts as part of Regenesis. What’s the threat that takes them abroad and into a clash with War Machine?

 

Fear Itself: The Fearless #2

Valkyrie is a longtime favorite of mine and I’m excited to see her on the front burner. The Norse warrior woman was an absolute smash in issue one by defying the Avengers and going rogue to capture the mystical hammers brought to Earth by the Serpent. Valkyrie, Sin and Crossbones continue their race to collect the evil artifacts and a zombie army attacks.

The 100 Sexiest Women in Comics

Comic Buyer’s Guide presents a new special collecting the hottest females in comics. Red Sonja is on the cover. I’m hoping to see Black Widow, Storm, Rogue, Emma Frost, and Psylocke in the top ten.
