East of West #1, it's Saga and Arrowsmith and four horsemen end of the world stuff mixed in, here is how the USA differed wildly from history. Plus, a map! I always love a good map :

Flash forward to 2064, when the four horsemen are reborn, but have to be kids for a bit. They find a survivor in their carnage:

Death seemed to escape being reborn, and they're upset about it. Map time!

    A+X was sooo good this week, I may post pages, but , not sure if a page will do it justice, the Wolverine/Carol story was basically a comedy skit of epic proportions.

    Dammit I was making this thread right now

    This was a really, really great week overall, here are my favorite bits:

    A+X #6 - Logan and Carol's poker game/argument about who would win in a fight between Astronauts and Cavemen is interrupted:

    Guardians of the Galaxy #1 - Peter Quill and his dad have an interesting relationship:

    FF # 5 - Crazy Old Man Johnny Storm From The Future decides to embrace his destiny as a hobo and goes down and out on the Bowery.

    Crazy Old Man Johnny Storm From The Future is also unaware of the impact of the last several decades of gentrification upon the Manhattan real estate market:

    Wow, after how much I hated cyclops in that earlier thread, Havoc pretty much summed up my entire opinion on the whole "homo superior" thing.

    Yeah, Remender writes a fantastic Havok and I can't wait to see where he takes him.

    I want to high five Havok.

    He's on his way to becoming a strong counterpoint to Cyclops. I agree with everything he said.

    And while you all sit around in a drum circle mutants are being rounded up by sentinels and cops! Where were you while our babies burned?

    I'm cool with that speech though*, it works to make the ethics more Scott vs. Alex (because maybe that way Marvel won't make it so one-sided), although "M Word" is an eyeroll.

    *
    Scott didn't see something as broken, it was broken, Alex's gypsy teammate broke it. Unilaterally. And that's a chop, wut wut.

    edit: what was Rogue's reasoning for being passive aggressive/bitchy in the preview pages a while back?

    Time Warp came out today, it's a mixed bag, more bad than good, and kind of feels like a one-shot of Vertigo's current malaise all in one.

    Out of the 9 stories, only two would I say are really good, Matt Kindt's story is fantastic and Dan Abnett's story is good and then kind of does a good job making you feel sorry for having to do a job you don't want to do. Since I can't post Kindt's story without really messing with the whole premise, here's some of Abnett's story, it puts those Flinstones dinosaurs in their place for bad jobs:

    Tom king and Tom Fowler did a good story that plays with language really well and has a hook to the story that you'll figure out a page before the ending, and it's good for what it is, the art is really nice. Everything else is meh to bad (Simone's story is pretty bad, it reads like a fanfic from scans daily or something).

    Man. East of West is a good start. 39 pages too, which is even better.

    Red Lanterns 18. Had some extremely powerful moments if you've been following the GL books for a long time.
    Atrocitus' has been tormented by the destruction of his people. It's the source of all his rage and hate, which hasn't dulled in over a billion years.

    Volthoom re-writes Atrocitus' history and shows him a timeline where his homeworld and family were never destroyed by the Manhunters. In it, Atrocitus became a brutal conqueror, oppressing his people and slaughtering any dissenters, even in his own family.

    I'm really digging a lot of the moments in this thread.

    The mighty warrior Sif just hanging out with a bunch of kids and having a snowball fight! Wolverine and Captain Marvel playing poker with a big bad supervillain!

    It's like there are comics tgat have come back around from being super serious and gritty to an age when being a superhero was just a lot of fun.

    A+X actually had two poker games, the second was Gambit vs. Thing. It isn't bad at all but Carol/Logan is amazing.

    I don't think the stroke significantly impacted his writing. He's got X-Factor written through the next few months at least without a co-writer or anything.
