I’ve always wondered, does Sabretooth ever get tired of losing? Well it turns out he doesn’t care, he just wants to cause Wolverine and anybody connected to him misfortune. I was surprised and pleased to see that the consequences from Wolverine’s actions in the last issue still linger in this issue. Mainly this is a Beast issue. I’m not the biggest Beast supporter, but in this issue I did enjoy reaading about him trying to save his girlfriend in space. However during the sequences in space artist Chris Bachalo, who also does colors in this issue, kinda made it hard for me to tell whose who beause it was so dark and some of the characters wore space suits. I thought a floating dead body was Beast for a sec and I thought Beast’s girlfriend was Sabretooth. I’ve noticed how Bachalo draws the characters that the farther in the background they are the weirder they look. In one panel Genesis looks like a cyborg. Overall the story was very entertaining and the art was also very good to look at.

    I only started collecting Comics in September by picking up all the Avengers titles(except Academy) but i got bored of those and dropped them(cant stand Bendis writing).Then when the New 52 was started i ended up picking up 16 from DC.Im a big fan of marvel Characters and i was wondering whether or not this was a good book to pick up.

      Expect it to be the event of the summer, but if you should go
      for it, I don’t know.
      It would as always with these big events be an expensive venture
      especially with all the tie-ins, so it’s up to you if you want & can spend
      a lot of dosh week in week out for the next several months!?
      But if X-Men & The Avengers are your thing, & they’ll be a lot of
      repurcussions in the Marvel Universe after this then yeah go for it or
      save your money & be patient for the Trades.
      Just remember you said earlier that you’re not a fan of Bendis & he’ll
      be all over this!

      I’d stick with night of owls if I were you. A vs X will end up very expensive and it’s bound to end up being a letdown

      I’m going all in for night of owls for the next couple of months. Saga is really good. Daredevil is always very good Swamp Thing is as well. I pick various other DC cos I just love the DC heroes.
