New comics!
Shang-Chi 3
More fighting. I probably wouldn’t buy this again if given the chance, but I’m too far into this to not get the last two issues.
Marvel Action: Chillers 2
Same thing with this, and I want to support Jeremy Whitley’s work.
Uncanny X-Men 270-277
X-Factor 60-62
New Mutants 95-97
I think this is my favorite stretch of Jim Lee’s X-Men, ever more than his run on the adjectiveless title. There’s just a touch more energy and excitement to it. Letting the art do most of the talking here:
 |
I know Josh Brolin plays him in the Deadpool movie, but...
|
 |
...I think John C McGinley would make a great Cable.
|
 |
Seems like Jean and Ororo are always having reunions...
|
 |
...after one of them is no longer dead.
|
 |
Hodge, drawn by Lee, is legit terrifying.
|
 |
| Psychic knife 3 |
 |
Psychic knife 4. In the same issue, no less!
|
 |
A huge building block in the Legend of Gambit (for me).
|
 |
Love this perspective from Lee.
|
 |
Same with this. Great hero posing of Magneto.
|
 |
| Happy Rogue is so cute. |
 |
Nice speed lines, so much dynamism on this page.

Psychic knife 5
|
 |
Issue 277 is on my short list of favorite X-Men comic. There's so much cool Gambit!
|
 |
| So many awesome fight scenes, including this one... |
 |
...which effortlessly flows from beat to beat.
|
 |
BTW, I LOVE short hair Storm.
|
 |
| So badass. |
 |
| My favorite page in one of my favorite issues. |
 |
Psychic knife 6
|
 |
273 is an amazing artist jam issue. This page by Whilce Portacio makes me feel so nostalgic.
