Comic Book of the Week for 1/22/14

This week's comic comes from Jason Aaron's "Wolverine and the X-Men" issue 40! It's another comic book that I have been wanting to rave about for awhile…and now I have featured almost every X-Men comic book on CBotW. So if you remember that there was a schism in the X-Men (aptly named "Schism"), and Wolverine took over the east coast Jean Grey School of Higher Learning while Cyclops walked away with the uncanny half of the X-Men and started another school at the old Weapon-X facility. Wolverine and the X-Men features the adventures of the new generation of mutants being trained by X-Men faculty members and Wolverine as the headmaster. Things between Wolverine and Cyclops have been shaky since Cyclops under the influence of the Phoenix Force killed Professor Xavier (A vs. X saga).

It's too bad this series is ending soon, but all the more reason to catch up on a great read!

Comic Book of the Week for 11/13/13

This week's comic book is All-New X-Men #18. If you haven't read All New X-Men up to this point, now might be a good time to jump on. All New X-Men follows the adventures of the  time displaced original X-Men. After the events of X-Men Schism and A vs. X, the X-Men end up in two factions. One side led by Wolverine who still upholds the ideals of Charles Xavier, and the other side led by Cyclops who after changing his mind about mutant and humankind co-existing, teams up with Magneto, takes hold of the Phoenix force and kills Charles Xavier. Crazy right? Refer to the two arcs mentioned above for more details. Beast of the present hopes to alter the future by bringing the past and original X-Men from the past into the present to show the original Cyclops how his future turns out in hopes to change him, and also to convince the present Cyclops to return to who he once was.
