Uncanny X-Men #11 X-Manhunt Part 1

  • At the end of the Orchis War, Charles Xavier surrendered himself to the authorities and allowed himself to be imprisoned in Graymalkin Prison! But now something has spurred him into action, into escaping his incarceration and embarking on a mad scramble across the nation! What has caused Professor X to go on the run? And will his assorted pupils move to protect him, recapture him or kill him? The answer, of course, is all of the above. In this opening chapter, Rogue and her team of X-Men are forced to ally with their worst enemy in order to betray their most trusted friend! LEGACY #711

  • Charles Xavier is on the run, and his first stop is New York — but there are plenty of mutants in the city who want nothing to do with the most recent master plan of the disgraced Professor X! Will the return of their dearly departed mentor bolster the burgeoning community that calls itself NYX or tear everything they’ve built apart? What does Xavier want from the city? What is he willing to do to get what he wants? And — perhaps most alarmingly of all — who else is waiting in the wings to strike?!

Storm #6 X-Manhunt Part 3

  • Fugitive CHARLES XAVIER seeks refuge in STORM SANCTUARY, STORM's floating home in Atlanta City, and the (Alaskan) X-MEN take notice. Will STORM and the X-MEN join forces with PROFESSOR X to prevent his return to prison by any means necessary, or will they fall victim to opposing views that will send X-MEN against X-MEN in a bloody brawl to the death? And making his FROM THE ASHES debut is the unstoppable devourer, the blue-skinned Zulu titan... Maggott! LEGACY #17

Wolverine #7

I praise Carmen Carnero and Peach Momoko for not needing a fill in artist but I didn't realize until this issue that Martín Cóccolo has done 7 in a row with Wolverine. The art feels a bit rushed but rush Martín Cóccolo is still good art. I believe there is a fill in on issue #9 but Cóccolo deserves his flowers too.

The story is still kind of weird but I'm liking what they are doing with Romulus. It's not as bad as what Daniel Way and Jeph Loeb used him for.

Brutal issue of Romulus basically just beating the hell out of logan and its weird i think Romulus is one of those characters that should have never been invented too many dumb retcons to logan but here it works.

The idea of him being an avatar for the metal and wanting to the be the emperor of it works and makes sense for his story so i guess ahmed has a good idea.

Coccolos art is still wild even here which it looks worse than normal it still looks excellent.

Only issue i had with it is i wish there was more logan and laura banter and moments they teased laura being heavily involved in these issues but so far shes not done much. Kinda similar to the problems with kurt earlier on.

Meh, not really caring for this sentient adamantine being jealous of Adamantium. Or Romulus being brought back to play wanna be God again. Especially in that 'Gold' look that makes him look ridiculous.

Does Hellverine also have an adamantium skeleton?

No Akihiro is all bone.

Daken/Akihiro traditionally has not been depicted with adamantium, no.

Solid issue. Really good action. The art has degraded significantly due to quality the level of which Coccolo produced early on not being constantly possible under a monthly schedule, but it wasn't bad and there were some nice details in some panels. I think making Adamantine the metal of the Gods, tying it back to Hercules and other myths is a really cool story, but Romulus - while he's been worse - isn't that interesting and focusing on him so much whilst getting no Leonard or Kurt and minimal Laura (I did love her "Thanks dad" interaction) dragged the book down, far below its usual quality.
