  • 50 Cent Comics – Spider-Woman #2 (2015)

    Posted on by Azrael Comment


    Spider-Woman #2 features a very pregnant Jessica Drew (AKA Spider-Woman). Apparently, Captain Marvel had asked her to visit the Alpha Flight hospital for a check up.

    Of course, with superheroes even common activities like doctor visits are not uneventful. I suppose it wouldn’t make for a very good comic book if they were. In this case, her visit coincides with a takeover by Skrull.

    Spider-Woman handles the Skrull in the Maternity Ward (along with a little help) and Captain Marvel rushes back to help. Unfortunately, the Alpha Flight Hospital is in a black hole that is now inaccessible. How inconvenient…

  • 50 Cent Comics – Astonishing X-Men #52

    Posted on by Azrael 1 Comment


    Next up from my 50 Cent MegaCon score is Astonishing X-Men #52. The X-Men has always been one of my favorite comic franchises though I stopped reading on a regular basis long before Astonishing X-Men came along. The Uncanny X-Men, The X-Men (later), X-Force, X-Factor, The New Mutants and Excalibur…those were the titles I remember.

    There’s a lot going on in this issue. Karma is being mind controlled by someone else…awkward as that’s sort of what she does. Oh, and Wolverine explodes. There’s some kind of bomb in his stomach. I’m not too worried though. With that mutant healing factor of his I’m sure it will all work out in the end.

  • 50 Cent Comics – New Mutants #19 (Vol. 3)

    Posted on by Azrael Comment


    Next up in my 50 cent comic stash from MegaCon is New Mutants #19. Along with The Uncanny X-Men, the original run of The New Mutants was one of my favorite comics back in the day. This issue from 2011 is actually from Volume 3 which reunites the original team members.

    Apparently, this series started when a Magik from the future comes back in time from to warn of impending danger.

    In this particular issue, the team has been captured by some soldiers that had been stuck in Limbo for many years and who are trying to go back and destroy the place, or at least its occupants. However, they need members of The New Mutants in order to create a weapon. Of course, they manage to escape.

    I never read anything other than the original run of The New Mutants but this at least seems reminiscent of it. It’s hard to gauge the quality of a series from one issue but it seems those who liked the original series would be interested in this one.
