X-Men: Battle of the Atom Review
Following the X-Men universe across hundreds of characters, dozens of comic lines and a continuity that is frequently muddled with through time travel and other weird plot twists has never been easy. Even with the recent Marvel Now relaunches of most of the X-Men comics, things quickly got messy after Beast brought the original X-Men from the past to talk some sense into the present day X-Men who have gone off the reservation. This revelation has been a major plot point for many of the X-Men series’ in play, which all come to ahead in X-Men: Battle of the Atom.
Batman Eternal #2
To say that Jim Gordon has gotten himself into trouble is quite the understatement. With the blood of a lot of people on his hands, Gotham’s Commissioner is destined to spend the rest of his life in the slammer. The Dark Knight refuses to believe that this was all Jim’s fault, and in Batman Eternal #2, he puts his detective hat on to get to the bottom of this mystery.
Morning Glories Vol. 1 : For a Better Future Review
Any parent would be proud to have their child accepted to an illustrious prep school on full scholarship. In Morning Glories Vol. 1: For a Better Future, Morning Glories Academy has just opened up spots for six students from different parts of the world and their parents couldn’t be happier. But would they feel the same if that school forced students to cut off all contact with the outside world? Or if they knew of all of the other mysterious and horrible things that happen at this particular school? Probably not, but it’s too late for this group to turn down the offer.

Wolverine Vol. 1: Hunting Season Review
Issue #1 of Wolverine: Hunting Season didn’t do much to impress me. However, finding the trade paperback that compiles the first six issues of Marvel Now Wolverine for under $10 was enough for me to give this solo adventure another go. Does the continued arc deliver where the first issue failed?
Small World Review
From the publisher that brought us Ticket to Ride is Small World. In this 2-5 player strategy game, players command armies across a world that is too small to contain everyone. Having been sold on this being a lighter family game, Steff and I were taken aback by a steeper-than-expected learning curve and fiddly rules that make the phase past the initial hurdle tough as well. Is this worth the trouble?
Wolverine and the X-Men #1 Review
While most of the X-Men universe got relaunched as part of Marvel Now, Wolverine and the X-Men stayed on course until the series’ recent end with issue #42. As part of the All New Marvel Now initiative, the counter on the series has been turned back to #1. Starting fresh has worked wonders for some of the other X-Men lines, but this one sputters out of the gate on almost all fronts.
Wonder Woman Vol. 3: Iron Review
To say that Zola’s baby had a rough start to life sure is an understatement. From the moment the baby was born on Olympus, it was immediately stolen away from its mother by Hermes, who we thought was one of the good guys. Now in Wonder Woman Vol. 3: Iron, she must track the tiny tot down before something terrible happens. Along the way, she meets even more members of her complicated family tree and something new is brewing in Antarctica.
