Comic Joy's Journal

6:31pm: Mutant X
You need Mutant X. Not the tv series, but the comic Marvel cancelled so they could abuse the name. It's about Alex Summers in an alternate dimension and I casn't work out if they thought they were being serious, or if they were just enjoying mucking about with everything. Let's have that bit of the X-Men, and lets have her cause it's cool.

I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that Storm never got better from being a vampire, Kitty is the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club and Spiderman never quite got over the whole six arm thing. Or the clones. And Elektra is Scotty Summers' nanny.

Nanny Elektra!

It's enjoyable and quite fun. Silly fun. What the brain needs after the bruising it got in the most recent League of Extraordinary Gentelmen. Put it away, Quartermain.

6:37pm: Quick Recs
Archard's Agents (CGE): If you donothing else, check out the art. What are they doing keeping Mike as the inker on the main title. He's tons better than Guice.

Rex Mundi (Image): I love the atmosphere on this.

Batgirl Year One: Works well. I love Barbara and it's nice to see her break out of Oracle but retain the inner librarian.

I was going to keep this equal, but I can't for the life of me remeber a single Marvel title I read this week.
