Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

The series begins by introducing readers to a guy in a mask as well as a secret organization that seems to want to kill all mutants. Each member appears to be wearing a mask and seems very “Court of Owls”-ish in nature. But, it just so happens that Domino is undercover within this “court” and is discovered by a henchman and captured by the organization. Meanwhile, Ben Percy launches the cast of characters in the book and shows the Marauders on their return from saving Colossus who was near death rescuing mutants in Russia. Now, as if enough wasn’t already unfolding in this opening issue, readers see this group of sneaky looking humans board a plane and eventually hold it hostage, solely to paratroop down over Krakoa. As these super-advanced humans land on Krakoa, they begin to unload on the mutants killing anyone in their path while Jean, Wolverine, and Beast lay them out the best they can. The issue ends with Charles getting shot in the head by one of the superhumans and killed on the spot leaving us all with one question; can you resurrect the one who holds the key to resurrecting everyone else?

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

Percy opens issue two with every mutant surrounding a dead Xavier while Magneto fashions a sword from the remnants of the portable Cerebro Charles has been sashaying around the world in. Meanwhile, Jean and Beast uncover a spare Cerebro and readers discover that Charles has been backing up his own mind periodically for this very reason. Hopefully, with Jean’s help as well as the Five, they can bring back Charles’ stored mind in a new body. However, as this aspect of the issue is developing, Sage discovers through an autopsy that these super-advanced humans were created like Reavers… but with more advancements. So, Wolverine and Kid Omega go hunting for answers is Seoul Korea. While there, Wolverine and Kid Omega uncover a flesh factory where these advanced humans are being created. And finally, after these monstrous creations come to life attacking Kid Omega and Wolverine, the two find themselves face to face with Domino, half skinned and trapped in a test tube.

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

As Percy kicks off issue three, Wolverine and Kid Omega rescue Domino and slice their way out of this ungodly flesh factory. Meanwhile, Beast and Jean are in the process of resurrecting Charles and it appears to be successful. Still, as we check back to Sage continuing to examine the one living advanced human that infiltrated Krakoa, someone, unknown to readers and anyone in the story, comes out of the shadows and kills the advanced human before Sage can get any more information out of the assassin. Now, even though things just haven’t been going their way, X-Force and the rest of the mutants on Krakoa do manage a win before the issue is complete by proving to the human terrorists (and to the world) that Charles was never dead and is alive and kicking. Sure, readers know the truth… that he was murdered and brought back to life. But, to the world and the organization trying to assassin Charles, it never happened! And as the issue closes, X-Force is officially formed and the shadow organization gets a name… Xeno!

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

Percy begins issue four with more of these advanced humans that appear to be operated by Xeno infiltrating a Krakoan Pharmaceuticals site of the east Coast. Beast, Sage, and Jean head to the Pharmaceutical site to see what happened and eventually report back to the Quiet Council their findings. Meanwhile, Wolverine, Domino, and Kid Omega meet up with Forge to get some new Krakoan tech before they leave on their next mission. As the issue comes to a close, another facility is under attack by these homemade military advanced humans sent by Xeno. They blow the Krakoan gate just as Wolverine and Kid Omega enter leaving Domino stuck on Krakoa. However, Wolverine and Kid Omega were not as lucky. The issue concludes with Wolverine cut in half and Kid Omega decapitated by the closing of the Krakoan gate. And boy oh boy it’s graphic!!!

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

After issue four’s visual ending, Percy immediately throws readers into the story as issue five begins. Domino grabs Forge and Gateway (a teleporting mutant) and quickly heads to the facility to save what’s left of Wolverine who just so happens to be crawling around and killing any of the guys he can find! After these “Mercs” drill Logan with an onslaught of bullet holes and leave him to die, Domino, Forge, and Gateway make their grand entrance carrying with them the lower half of Wolverine. Forge jams both pieces of Wolverine together to heal up while Domino leads the charge to stop Xeno’s infiltration of the Krakoan Pharmaceuticals facility from the last issue. As the story concludes, we find out that these people who infiltrated the base were actually human and not DNA lab rats modified by Xeno. Were they sent by Xeno or was this another group positioning themselves on the mutant front? Well, as the issue ends, readers get another glimpse of the peacock man running Xeno who supposedly hired them to get some of the Krakoan tech, petals, and organic batteries. So, not only is Xeno creating their own advanced humans BUT they are also hiring mercenaries and militias to do their work for them too. Therefore, it appears as though their influence and wealth are large and they have their hands in multiple cookie jars.

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

Ben Percy kicks off issue six with the beginning of a new angle and storyline for the team. X-Force heads to Terra Verde to fight plant people… or so it seems from the opening pages. It appears as though the President of Terra Verde was attacked while Charles was there on a diplomatic mission to produce a treaty with their nation. However, the current plant beings/ hostile botanical creatures that were intermingled amongst the Terra Verde people didn’t take too kindly to the mutants creating a relationship/ partnership with their nation. Additionally, we find out that their local researchers somehow created these telefloronic creatures on their own, which is extremely interesting that they appear to have no connection to Xeno whatsoever. So, with some thorough research, Beast discovers that these telefloronic creatures are like an organic equivalent to an Omega Sentinel. As the story wraps up, it seems as though the President’s son was infected by these plant beings and planned a coup to take control of the Terra Verde nation. And again, as the issue concludes, Beast captures the President’s son and basically makes him a vegetable in order to stop these Terra Verde creations from going global. Furthermore, the scientists at Terra Verde were on the verge of creating their own version of Krakoan medicines that would be comparable, which is ultimately why Beast made the President’s son a vegetable in the first place. Moreover, the Terra Verde Scientists had the ability to weaponize humans using plant-based technology. So, Beast made the only one with the knowledge (the President’s son who was also a lead scientist) a vegetable while selling himself on the fact he was doing good for the economic structure of the Terra Verde country. Wow!!! Nonetheless, the issue ends with the President’s son going through some type of plant evolution and escaping the hospital he was being housed in while releasing a dangling plot thread to be picked up later.

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

Percy opens issue seven with someone assassinating multiple people who appear to be important mutant supporters or believers. Somehow, someone is killing these people using some luck-altering tech or possibly using a mutant ability from another individual who’s luck has seemed to run out recently (cough… Domino). So Domino, who’s been struggling as of late to deal with the actions done to her by Xeno in that disgusting flesh factory from earlier, attempts to track down this lucky assassin to see if she may be able to get a bit of her own luck back. As the issue concludes, readers get a glimpse of who Domino has been tracking… and it looks like a clone of Domino but with reversed skin color which happens to kind of explain where her luck has been lately… I suppose…

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

Percy continues the story from the last issue and opens with Domino getting the jump on her doppelgänger and shooting her down dead to rights! After bringing the body back for Sage to look at, it appears as though this Domino isn’t a clone as much as a human who’s DNA has been woven with Domino’s X-gene. And, Sage makes it clear that Xeno can mass create many more of these lucky assassins. So, after a midnight heart to heart with Colossus, the two mutants struggling the most with PTSD (Colossus and Domino) head to take down a train filled with human/ Domino hybrids as well as a new mobile flesh factory on a train. Colossus and Domino take down the hybrids and destroy the train but at the cost of Domino’s life. As she was about to die knowing that she will eventually be resurrected at some point, Domino asks Colossus to tell the Professor to keep her memories from her capture. Even though the Professor could bring her back without them, she has come to terms with the fact that they are now an important part of her life. Lastly, the story concludes with the head of Xeno/ the peacock man getting a visit by a shadowy figure. Is it the same shadowy figure from Krakoa earlier who killed the captured advanced human? Who knows? But, it seems like the peacock man may not be at the top of the food chain after all.

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

In issue nine, Percy uses this story to jump back into the Terra Verde tale from earlier. After a rousing game of Russian Roulette with claws between Wolverine and Daken, readers see Domino back in the living but without her memories of the events that happened during her capture in Korea. The curious question is… why? We were led to believe last issue that she wanted to keep her memories that haunted her. I guess we shall see as the series unfolds. Next, the issue moves to Wolverine, Kid Omega, and Domino having more gate trouble as they attempt to go back to Terra Verde. Readers discover that the gate is covered with plants and human life so no one can come through from Krakoa. So, Kid Omega blows a hole through the gate and clears a path for the team to enter. As they infiltrate Terra Verde, the team learns that the Telefloronics have taken over the entire nation. The issue concludes with Beast tracking down a drunk Black Tom Cassidy to help the X-Force team that’s trapped in Terra Verde surrounded by bio-mutated plant, human, and animal life. The only one who appears to have survived as the issue closes is Kid Omega screaming through his comm to Beast that these telefloronics are a God!

[ofxduncan]

zac efron. cismale. he/him. ／ DUNCAN MCLEOD just pulled up radioactive by imagine dragons— that song is so them! you know, for TWENTY FOUR year old singer, i’ve heard they’re really blunt, but that they make up for it by being so charming. if i had to choose messy bed hair, an aussie accent, golden smile i’d probably say three aesthetics. here’s to hoping they don’t cause too much trouble! (charlie u know the drill) (sam hunt/dean lewis vc pls and ty)

right lads, back again with my newest character, duncan!! under the read more you will find a sweet bio of my main man and if you wanna plot, hmu!

right duncan lucas mcleod is a born and raised australian kid. he was born and raised in byron bay (the place where chris hemsworth is livin his best life at), australia cause we love some australian accent in our life. 

his dad’s a doctor and his mum’s a receptionist at the hospital, so it was safe to say that he had a pretty good and stable upbringing. him and his sisters (two younger etc) always got what they were wanted and they had the finest holidays and were very much well-traveled. 

including his family are doctors (well his dad), his family back in australia also have got a family have a farm worth millions in the outback! so we love some well-established family roots in australia. 

during school, duncan was very much the top dog, he was very popular. he was in the ‘it’ crowd, he was very good at his academics and also very very good at sports - especially rugby.  he was even school captain (head boy/class president whatever you wanna call it) in his last years of high school (*cough* practically the family goldern child *cough* ). he graduated high school with top marks. he’s actually a very smart lad.

however, he also was quietly passionate about singing and songwriting. his father wasn’t quiet fond of duncan and his singing career but he had taught himself how to play the guitar from the age of fifteen. 

tw death, drink driving: duncan had been at a party with his sister and a few of his friends. his friends and his sister had got in a car that night with duncan behind the wheel. he was going quiet fast and ended up going off the road and hitting a power pole - this had killed his sister and his friend on impact. it had led him and his other friend to be in the hospital for a few weeks with quiet serve injuries. 

tw: depression during that time in the hospital, duncan had sunk into a very deep depression and guilt over his sister passing. his mother and his sister forced him to focus on something else that wasn’t his sister because they were worried about him. they tried convincing him that he would get back into rugby but due to shattering his ankle in too many places in the car crash - he had to stop playing rugby altogether. which was a big big blow to duncan since that’s he had been doing.

once he was out of hospital, he decided to take a leap of faith and post one of his own songs on youtube called ‘break up in a small town’ and it was safe to say. it had gone viral pretty damn quick because who doesn’t love a boy who knows how to play guitar!!

he had got quite a big following back in australia pretty instant with his song being picked up by radio stations real quickly. he had found himself launched into the local australian star scene quiet quickly. he did fall into the party scene and learned pretty quickly on who he couldn’t and could trust

he was quite surprised how quick the video had went viral, he had uploaded another video just to test the waters even more (it was just a small q&a sorta thing, nothing major). however, he had got a phonecall from a record label who had wanted to sign him after seeing the video. 

His mother was full support for the sign glad to see her son actually doing something, his dad was against it  because his dad wanted him to go to University but ducan signed on the dotted line and boom - he made the big move from byron bay to NYC!! including his voice was very country felt he decided to base himself out of NYC because it had always been his dream to live there.

right-o so this is duncan! i’m still working on a wc/plot page for my children but hmu if you wanna plot with him!

Dispatch Rapid Fire Recap:

In issue nine, Percy uses this story to jump back into the Terra Verde tale from earlier. After a rousing game of Russian Roulette with claws between Wolverine and Daken, readers see Domino back in the living but without her memories of the events that happened during her capture in Korea. The curious question is… why? We were led to believe last issue that she wanted to keep her memories that haunted her. I guess we shall see as the series unfolds. Next, the issue moves to Wolverine, Kid Omega, and Domino having more gate trouble as they attempt to go back to Terra Verde. Readers discover that the gate is covered with plants and human life so no one can come through from Krakoa. So, Kid Omega blows a hole through the gate and clears a path for the team to enter. As they infiltrate Terra Verde, the team learns that the Telefloronics have taken over the entire nation. The issue concludes with Beast tracking down a drunk Black Tom Cassidy to help the X-Force team that’s trapped in Terra Verde surrounded by bio-mutated plant, human, and animal life. The only one who appears to have survived as the issue closes is Kid Omega screaming through his comm to Beast that these telefloronics are a God!

Gimmie some VCs. I need em.

             Sorry to be so late getting to this, darling. I wanted to think about it for a bit. I had to rush it on the way to bed and I've gone and NyQuil'd. Please don't hold it against me if I make less sense than usual, lol.

Verse Canon: Bunkerverse

Faith misses Stefan. She misses playing football with him, misses the intensity of their supposedly platonic relationship. With him throwing her out, friendship-wise, it really does feel like she's living a new life that she doesn't quite recognize. Like everything before Sam happened to someone else. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes it's not.

The longer Buffy's around, the worse Faith feels for her. Buffy's lost Dean, she's lost her place in the group. It's not Buffy's world, anymore, and she can see her sister Slayer trying to find a new place in it all.

She wishes Sam would spend more time with his brother and less time all up in her business. #GetOutMyBusinessSam

Verse Canon: Wartown

Faith sees Angel from time to time. Watching her from beneath a street light during a cemetery patrol or when she turns away from a fight just in time to see him disappear around a corner into an alley. She's not sure why he keeps his distance, and he's clearly looking out for her. What she doesn't know is that Angel's worried that if he inserts himself into her life, he'll bring all the baggage of Sunnydale back and the last thing he wants to do is fuck up the oddly happy home she and Ric are building for themselves.

Faith and Ric are the bane of Kate Lockley's existence. Trying, desperately, to keep the LAPD's Supernatural Division running and funded (and her reputation as a spooky weirdo intact) is hard enough without running into these two violent, codependent, law-breaking vigilantes at every crime scene. She gets push-back from the department for trying to cobble together a case against them because, while she doesn't know Ric from Job, she does know Faith and isn't willing to buy the word of demons and monsters that the rogue Slayer's changed her stripes.

The Lindy Hop is the only dance Faith and Ric can do where it doesn't end up looking like they're being shot at by Buford Tanen. Partially, because it involves no grace or elegance, what's so ever. There was a competition, it had a money prize and they wanted to eat so it was either learn this damn thing or stand in bread lines, again. They don't have much rhythm, between the two of them, and there’s the issue of the limp but with Ric's brute strength and Faith's bendy-ness? They don't shy away from the aerials. They still stink at it but at least they have fun.

Verse Canon: The Great Shark Hunt

Faith's all sorts of proud of herself for the good deed she's doing for Damon, and giving herself extra props for pulling the wool over Whistler's eyes long enough to get it done. He knows, PS. She's not a good liar.

She digs Bobby. You heard me.

Even with no evidence at all, Faith's pretty damn sure Jo Harvelle is a Vampire Slayer.

V_MP_R_’S C_STL_

@jadagul linked this post on the Vampire's Castle by Mark Fisher that was half "thorough description of how fear and status intertwine to defang political movements" and half "very specific kvetching about a particular time and place that is neither useful nor appealing."

So I’m going to excerpt the one out of two paragraphs I found useful, and encourage people to read them as a coherent post in itself.

Inside the Vampires’ Castle

The first configuration is what I came to call the Vampires’ Castle. The Vampires’ Castle specialises in propagating guilt. It is driven by a priest’s desire to excommunicate and condemn, an academic-pedant’s desire to be the first to be seen to spot a mistake, and a hipster’s desire to be one of the in-crowd. The danger in attacking the Vampires’ Castle is that it can look as if – and it will do everything it can to reinforce this thought – that one is also attacking the struggles against racism, sexism, heterosexism. But, far from being the only legitimate expression of such struggles, the Vampires’ Castle is best understood as a bourgeois-liberal perversion and appropriation of the energy of these movements. The Vampires’ Castle was born the moment when the struggle not to be defined by identitarian categories became the quest to have ‘identities’ recognised by a bourgeois big Other.

The privilege I certainly enjoy as a white male consists in part in my not being aware of my ethnicity and my gender, and it is a sobering and revelatory experience to occasionally be made aware of these blind-spots. But, rather than seeking a world in which everyone achieves freedom from identitarian classification, the Vampires’ Castle seeks to corral people back into identi-camps, where they are forever defined in the terms set by dominant power, crippled by self-consciousness and isolated by a logic of solipsism which insists that we cannot understand one another unless we belong to the same identity group.

I’ve noticed a fascinating magical inversion projection-disavowal mechanism whereby the sheer mention of class is now automatically treated as if that means one is trying to downgrade the importance of race and gender. In fact, the exact opposite is the case, as the Vampires’ Castle uses an ultimately liberal understanding of race and gender to obfuscate class.  In all of the absurd and traumatic twitterstorms about privilege earlier this year it was noticeable that the discussion of class privilege was entirely absent.  The task, as ever, remains the articulation of class, gender and race  – but the founding move of the Vampires’ Castle is the dis-articulation of class from other categories.

The problem that the Vampires’ Castle was set up to solve is this: how do you hold immense wealth and power while also appearing as a victim, marginal and oppositional? The solution was already there – in the Christian Church. So the VC has recourse to all the infernal strategies, dark pathologies and psychological torture instruments Christianity invented, and which Nietzsche described in The Genealogy of Morals. This priesthood of bad conscience, this nest of pious guilt-mongers, is exactly what Nietzsche predicted when he said that something worse than Christianity was already on the way. Now, here it is …

The Vampires’ Castle feeds on the energy and anxieties and vulnerabilities of young students, but most of all it lives by converting the suffering of particular groups – the more ‘marginal’ the better – into academic capital. The most lauded figures in the Vampires’ Castle are those who have spotted a new market in suffering – those who can find a group more oppressed and subjugated than any previously exploited will find themselves promoted through the ranks very quickly.

The first law of the Vampires’ Castle is: individualise and privatise everything. While in theory it claims to be in favour of structural critique, in practice it never focuses on anything except individual behaviour. Some of these working class types are not terribly well brought up, and can be very rude at times. Remember: condemning individuals is always more important than paying attention to impersonal structures. The actual ruling class propagates ideologies of individualism, while tending to act as a class. (Many of what we call ‘conspiracies’ are the ruling class showing class solidarity.) The VC, as dupe-servants of the ruling class, does the opposite: it pays lip service to ‘solidarity’ and ‘collectivity’, while always acting as if the individualist categories imposed by power really hold. Because they are petit-bourgeois to the core, the members of the Vampires’ Castle are intensely competitive, but this is repressed in the passive aggressive manner typical of the bourgeoisie. What holds them together is not solidarity, but mutual fear – the fear that they will be the next one to be outed, exposed, condemned.

The second law of the Vampires’ Castle is: make thought and action appear very, very difficult. There must be no lightness, and certainly no humour. Humour isn’t serious, by definition, right? Thought is hard work, for people with posh voices and furrowed brows. Where there is confidence, introduce scepticism. Say: don’t be hasty, we have to think more deeply about this. Remember: having convictions is oppressive, and might lead to gulags.

The third law of the Vampires’ Castle is: propagate as much guilt as you can. The more guilt the better. People must feel bad: it is a sign that they understand the gravity of things. It’s OK to be class-privileged if you feel guilty about privilege and make others in a subordinate class position to you feel guilty too. You do some good works for the poor, too, right?

The fourth law of the Vampires’ Castle is: essentialize. While fluidity of identity, pluarity and multiplicity are always claimed on behalf of the VC members – partly to cover up their own invariably wealthy, privileged or bourgeois-assimilationist background – the enemy is always to be essentialized. Since the desires animating the VC are in large part priests’ desires to excommunicate and condemn, there has to be a strong distinction between Good and Evil, with the latter essentialized. Notice the tactics. X has made a remark/ has behaved in a particular way – these remarks/ this behaviour might be construed as transphobic/ sexist etc. So far, OK. But it’s the next move which is the kicker. X then becomes defined as a transphobe/ sexist etc. Their whole identity becomes defined by one ill-judged remark or behavioural slip. Once the VC has mustered its witch-hunt, the victim (often from a working class background, and not schooled in the passive aggressive etiquette of the bourgeoisie) can reliably be goaded into losing their temper, further securing their position as pariah/ latest to be consumed in feeding frenzy.

...

It’s not surprising, then, that so many neo-anarchists come across as depressed. This depression is no doubt reinforced by the anxieties of postgraduate life, since, like the Vampires’ Castle, neo-anarchism has its natural home in universities, and is usually propagated by those studying for postgraduate qualifications, or those who have recently graduated from such study.

What is to be done?

Why have these two configurations come to the fore?  The first reason is that they have been allowed to prosper by capital because they serve its interests. Capital subdued the organised working class by decomposing class consciousness, viciously subjugating trade unions while seducing ‘hard working families’ into identifying with their own narrowly defined interests instead of the interests of the wider class; but why would capital be concerned about a ‘left’ that replaces class politics with a moralising individualism, and that, far from building solidarity, spreads fear and insecurity?

The second reason is what Jodi Dean has called communicative capitalism. It might have been possible to ignore the Vampires’ Castle and the neo-anarchists if it weren’t for capitalist cyberspace. The VC’s pious moralising has been a feature of a certain ‘left’ for many years – but, if one wasn’t a member of this particular church, its sermons could be avoided. Social media means that this is no longer the case, and there is little protection from the  psychic pathologies propagated by these discourses.

So what can we do now? First of all, it is imperative to reject identitarianism, and to recognise that there are no identities, only desires, interests and identifications. Part of the importance of the British Cultural Studies project – as revealed so powerfully and so movingly in John Akomfrah’s installation The Unfinished Conversation (currently in Tate Britain) and his film The Stuart Hall Project – was to have resisted identitarian essentialism. Instead of freezing people into chains of already-existing equivalences, the point was to treat any articulation as provisional and plastic. New articulations can always be created. No-one is essentially anything. Sadly, the right act on this insight more effectively than the left does.  The bourgeois-identitarian left knows how to propagate guilt and conduct a witch hunt, but it doesn’t know how to make converts. But that, after all, is not the point. The aim is not to popularise a leftist position, or to win people over to it, but to remain in a position of elite superiority, but now with class superiority redoubled by moral superiority too. ‘How dare you talk – it’s we who speak for those who suffer!’

But the rejection of identitarianism can only be achieved by the re-assertion of class. A left that does not have class at its core can only be a liberal pressure group.

off the rack #1287

Monday, November 11, 2019

 Lest we forget, today is Remembrance Day. This day brings back memories of going to elementary school at Percy Street Public. I was chosen one year to participate in the Remembrance Day tribute to the fallen. The old World War II uniform I had to wear was super itchy and I remember thinking "how could the soldiers live in them?". I remember getting in trouble when I used my hand as a bugle and imitated blowing taps during rehearsal. Our teacher ran backstage thinking one of us had turned on the reel to reel tape player and I had to admit that it was only me and my big mouth. She was not amused. I am grateful to be living in the true north, strong and free and honour all the men and women who sacrificed for our freedom.

 Superman Up In The Sky #5 - Tom King (writer) Andy Kubert (pencils) Sandra Hope (inks) Brad Anderson (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). It's beginning to bother me that Superman is so focused on rescuing this little girl that has been abducted by aliens. Is this story just showing what he is willing to endure to save someone? If so, I'm not impressed. We already know that Superman will fight to the death as seen in his battle with Doomsday. I'm going to keep reading because the writing is very good. We see Darkseid this issue and there's a mystery villain coming up in the next issue that I want to meet.

 Savage Avengers #7 - Gerry Duggan (writer) Patch Zircher (art) Java Tartaglia (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). There are three subplots in this issue and one of them made me laugh. First we have Brother Voodoo being a guest of the wizard Kulan Gath. Then there's Elektra getting help from Doctor Strange to find Brother Voodoo's brother. Finally the funny part is Conan getting shanghaied in Brazil by a mystery bad guy and taken to his humble abode. I like this implausible team of heroes.

 Daredevil #13 - Chip Zdarsky (writer) Marco Checchetto (art) Nolan Woodard (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Oh yeah, I like where this is going. Matt gets schooled by Elektra on his road back to wearing the horns. Detective North is ordered to take time off and does what I wish I could do when confronted by disrespectful punks on his way home. I really hope Daredevil and North form a bond.

 Web of the Black Widow #3 - Jody Houser (writer) Stephen Mooney (art) Triona Farrell (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Natasha eliminates one person who might be impersonating her by teaming up with Yelena on a mission to steal data. I think there's a hint to who the real villain is in the flashbacks to the old Red Room.

 Lois Lane #5 - Greg Rucka (writer) Mike Perkins (art) Gabe Eltaeb (colours) Simon Bowland (letters). I'm really liking this story of Lois rooting out corruption with a side of The Question beating up henchmen. I'm also enjoying the Stumptown TV show that is based on a comic book that Greg Rucka did. You should watch it too. Cobie Smulders is great in it.

 Young Justice # - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) John Timms (art pages 1, 8-10, 13-22) Nick Derington (art) Gabe Eltaeb & Dave Stewart (colours) Wes Abbott (letters). I'm glad that's over. The good Young Justice finally beat their evil doppelgangers and get back to their own universe. There they meet their new member.

 X-Force #1 - Benjamin Percy (writer) Joshua Cassara (art) Dean White (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). I am not familiar with the writer and artist names in the credits so that puts this new X-book at a disadvantage when it comes to it possibly making it on to my "must read" list. Benjamin & Joshua did an okay job with the last page making it necessary to follow up with the second issue but it wasn't good enough to make it on to the list.

 The Infected: King Shazam #1 - Sina Grace (writer) Joe Bennett (pencils) Belardino Brabo & Matt Santorelli (inks) Hi-Fi (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). I don't know why they call this Year of the Villain version of Shazam King Shazam. What's a king of, cruelty? This one shot starts off with a very bad Bill Batson mouthing off to his foster parents. Then he says the magic word and is transformed into evil Shazam and goes on a rampage beating up mythological gods like Atlas and Thor. When his sister Mary catches up to him, he infects her too. If it wasn't for Joe (The Immortal Hulk) Bennett's art I would have left this on the rack.

 New Mutants #1 - Ed Brisson & Jonathan Hickman (writers) Rod Reis (art) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). That was fun. The gang's all here even though Rahne had to be hatched. Then it's off to Shi'ar space to bring Sam home. There's a new member, Mondo, and Warlock is missing but Doug is here. These guys first appeared on the racks in 1982 and have gone through some roster changes but overall are a fun young team. I liked this enough to recommend it but not enough to want to keep reading.

 Batman Universe #5 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Nick Derington (art) Dave Stewart (colours) A Larger World's Troy Peteri (letters). That was cool. Nightwing joins his old Dynamic Duo partner to hunt down Vandal Savage and the egg of power. We find out what's inside when the egg hatches and that's the cool part.

 The Amazing Spider-Man #33 - Nick Spencer (writer) Patrick Gleason (art) Matthew Wilson (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). Not much of a 2099 cross-over to begin things before we get back to Spider-Man and his spy sister getting an explanation from Silver Sable to what's going down in Symkaria. This leads to an assassination attempt at the UN. That plotline interests me far more than Spider-Man saving 2099.

 Black Cat #6 - Jed MacKay (writer) Mike Dowling (art) Brian Reber (colours) Ferran Delgado (letters). Mike Dowling is a new name on my artist list and he sure can draw a hot looking Felicia. I hope he stays on this book for a while. The Black Cat goes on a date with Batroc while her mentor The Fox is attacked by what looks like The Hand. A rescue mission will have to be mounted.

 Fantastic Four #16 - Dan Slott (writer) Sean Izaakse (art) Marcio Menyz (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). Part 3 of "Point of Origin" has the separated team members figuring out how to reunite. Trust Reed and Sue to come up with a plan. I really like how Sean draws the Thing.

 Legion of Super-Heroes #1 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Ryan Sook (pencils) Ryan Sook & Wade von Grawbadger (inks) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Dave Sharpe (letters). The super hero team from the 31st Century is back on the racks. Let's see how long this lasts. This time it's the Jonathan Kent Superboy that joins the team which makes this book fresher for me. I cringed a little when time travel reared its ugly head briefly but they didn't go there and I hope they steer clear of it. I love Ryan's art and this is a Bendis book so I'm going to keep reading.

 Miles Morales: Spider-Man #12 - Saladin Ahmed (writer) Javier Garron (art) David Curiel (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Miles stops his uncle Aaron from completing a contract hit and now there's a bounty on the Prowler's head. Lots of action with a fight between Miles and the Prowler and then they team up to fight Man Mountain Marko who looks like Logan on steroids. This sets up Miles and his uncle having to get to Red Hook through a gauntlet of killers. I wonder what other old bad Marvel guys are going to come out of the woodwork. Man Mountain Marko. Seriously.

 Doctor Doom #2 - Christopher Cantwell (writer) Salvador Larroca (art) Guru-eFX (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). I love the art but I don't like this portrayal of Victor. First he surrenders himself and then he goes seeking help from a fellow villain. I'm hoping this isn't the real Victor Von Doom because then what happens on the last page won't matter. It's a cliffhanger ending that ensures my reading the next issue.

 Batman #82 - Tom King (writer) Mikel Janin (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). This is what we've been building up to for while now. The inevitable fight with Bane. The Bat and the Cat make a great team and Selina has never looked fiercer. I didn't like the intervention of Thomas Wayne but it did make me curious to see what happens next.
