Shockingly, Offensively Bad 2
Jeph Loeb is done. The man who was once comics royalty, who penned some of the greatest Batman stories ever written and created the cerebral and elegant "colors" series to showcase some of Marvel's great characters, perished along with his son.

Colossus and Northstar, who began his run as a strong and assertive gay couple with a bright future ahead of them, have been reduced to a pair of degenerate cripples. The ...

A disappointment of epic proportions 1
I came into this issue completely psyched. After the crazy, out of control action that has dominated Ultimate X-Men for the last 15 issues or so, I fully expected the team to sit back, regroup and settle in to the new paradigm. A few issues of character-centered stories with a few minor villains, maybe some more development of the Hellfire Club subplot that's been lurking in the background for a while...I was ready for anything, just as long as it wasn't another huge frantic mega-event right o...
