January 24, 2012 4:07 pm Pym at #1 is nonsense, as is the whole spousal abuser thing. It was 30 years ago, he was not right mentally, and the story itself wasn't that strong, but to keep referring to that one point which took place over two issues is lame. Despite the recent re-visiting of Stark's alcohol problems, does anyone say "That drunk Iron Man"?. Looked like a cheap shot at Pym for no reason.

January 12, 2012 3:28 pm Well said and well written Molly. You captured and mirrored my thoughts on the issue exactly! Nicely done!

January 4, 2012 11:08 pm Just started reading this, did anyone else think of the South Park Goth Kids when Quentin said "Conformists."...? I need to get out more....

January 3, 2012 12:35 am X-Men Schism #4. There were a number of contenders this year, Scalped, Criminal, Walking Dead, Fantastic Four, several of the New DC 52 number 1's. But Schism #4 really resonated on a visceral level for me. When Cyclops chose to make that completely out of line comment to Wolverine in the middle of a dangerous situation, For a brief moment I wanted Wolverine to gut him and watch him bleed out. It reminded me of the Age of Apocalypse story where Cyclops was running around with one eye and Wolverine with one hand, in that universe they apparently had it out... But here, Cyclops just making that staement was one of those times where you KNOW when something like that is said there is going to be a fight. As leader Cyclops responsibility was to the safety of the team, and not taking cheap shots at Wolverine. It was mean-spirited and irresponsible and he needed his ass-kicked. It was almost like that episode of The Shield where Vic Mackey tells Capt. Kavanaugh what his ex-wife's "happy area" tastes like. WAY out of line, and a reason to throw some hands, but Kavanaugh let it slide. I wouldn't and neither did Wolverine. Cyclops was out of line at the worst possible time and with no reason at all. That issue stood out for me because the long-simmering dispute now was out in the open and they got into it and the result is the team is split. This is all on Cyclops, however it ends.

December 14, 2011 2:25 am This was a pleasant surprise, both artistically and story-wise. I'll keep up with it.

November 23, 2011 2:37 am Great story but the art just isn't working for me at all. I'll stay on as long as Aaron is writing it, because his swriting is worth sticking around in spite of that art...

November 23, 2011 12:15 am Good issue, but I was under the impression that Black Widow got the slinky black outfit back in Amazing Spiderman #87, not in1958. Small nitpick.

November 20, 2011 11:27 pm I like Canada, did not mean to slight them. And I definitely include the use of the word "hipster" in that as well. And for that matter the overuse of "fail", "epic fail", "badass", "geeky" "really" and "nerdy". Ok I feel better now...

November 20, 2011 5:31 pm On the issue of language I'm sick of "favourite" and "colour". It's so pretentious when used by people here and not overseas....
