Looking through this week’s offerings has me hypothesizing:
- In Black Widow 5, Natasha will bitterly decry the subjugation of women as sex objects while she adjusts her thong.
- The second issue of Legion of Super-Heroes will need to go a fairly long way to reverse my initial impression of the series, which I found too meta.
- I’m probably part of a very small minority of readers who hope Mystique will succeed in killing Charles Xavier. Sure, it wouldn’t stick any longer than the next issue of Excalibur, but come on. The man’s track record as an agent of change is pitiful. He’d be much more effective as a martyr than he is with a pulse.
- I’ll buy both the current (55) and previous (54) issues of Ultimate X-Men, because I just now realized it’s being drawn by Stuart Immonen. (I like writer Brian K. Vaughan, too, but I skipped the previous arc because Gambit gives me gas.)
- Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly will probably make me cry with the third issue of We3. I almost always avoid sad stories about animals, but this one snuck through the blockade, and it’s just too good to ignore.
