  • 50 Cent Comics – New Mutants #39 (2012)

    Next up from my 50-cent comics haul from MegaCon earlier this year is New Mutants #39 (volume 3 from circa 2011-2012). The original run of the New Mutants was one of my favorite comics back in the day. So far, I’ve been enjoying the scattered issues of volume 3 that I have been reading lately too.

    In this issue, members of the team are visiting the island Paradise, the island where Doug Ramsey, a.k.a. Cypher, died. This visit is because of some dream he had. They run across various creatures created by Ani-mator and apparently Ani-mator is trying to reconstitute himself via some sort of virus. Unfortunately, the New Mutants contract this virus.

    By the end, everyone is pretty sick and Warlock combines with Cypher in an effort to save him. Will this be enough? Will they find a cure? Can they defeat Ani-mator? I’m not sure, I don’t think I have the next issue :).




  • 50 Cent Comics – Sex #3

    Next up in my 50 cent comic book haul from MegaCon 2019 is Sex #3 by Image Comics. The name of this one is certainly suggestive anyway. However, this seems to be one of those comics you had to start at the beginning to know WTF is going on.

    I mean there were a couple of random sex scenes. There were a couple of random violent scenes too for that matter so it could have been called ‘Sex and Violence’ I suppose. That one was probably taken.

    But as far as a story? No idea. It has something to do with a random and apparently wealthy business guy whining about his life though…

  • 50 Cent Comics – The Magdalena #6

    Next up in my 50 cent comic book haul from MegaCon 2019 is The Magdalena #6 from 2011.

    The Magdalena is about a descendant of Jesus of Nazareth. A long line of Magdalenas have protected the church throughout its history, one every generation in fact. In this story line, a reluctant Magdalena is convinced to look into a supposed son of Satan.

    In this issue, The Magdalena battles a demon, or perhaps Satan himself, or maybe some other entity… It’s left a little unclear. At any rate, it is revealed (to the reader, not Magdalena) that Cardinal Innocent has been working with the leader of the supposed son of Satan. His purpose was to convince a reluctant Magdalena to work for the Church. Magdalena gets a much deserved break and is relaxing on the beach at the end of this issue.
