Rorschach (2020)
It's been 35 years since Ozymandias dropped a giant interdimensional squid on New York City, killing thousands and destroying the public's trust in heroes once and for all. And since that time, one figure in a fedora, mask, and trenchcoat has become a divisive culture icon.
So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as an assassin trying ...
American Ronin

This could have been so much better but there are storytelling glitches and it's far denser an issue than it needs to be. The last issue felt like a regular issue of Hickman's X-Men with some cute elements thrown in to subvert it, but this issue is by the numbers B-list Marvel. Written by committee that's not surprising, as good as Duggan, Percy and Williams can be, but this is a case of moving ch more
Empyre: X-Men #2
Plant people from outer space have come to Earth and, wouldn't you know it, they just happen to be here when millions of mutants rise as undead creatures hungry for human flesh. The X-Men return to Genosha in a tale so crazy, it's taking the entire writing crew of the X-Men line to tackle it!
Rated T+
It's a much better issue overall, but the last two issues have set the bar so low I can't give it huge kudos. The closing revelation is cute but so many of the villainous motivations here are, well, villainous rather than strategic. With stakes this big you'd expect less Dr Evil style mwahaha-ing and more manipulation. The threat to Teddy feels only marginal, give a) Billy would intervene in a hea more
