X-Men Second Coming/Romulus TP
First this week, wonder twins Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, bring you a story that has been years in the making. No we ain’t talking no Siege, we are talking X-Men: Second Coming. The seeds that were laid in House of M and came to a head in Messiah Complex promises to finish now as Hope comes back to real time, and nothing will ever be the same again (if we had a nickel for every time a book promised this).
This storyline, which begins in X-Men: Second Coming and continues in the coming months in all X-books, promises that many will be wounded and several will die. Not one. Not two. Not a Teen Titan (because they are like killing a ninja now, no one cares). But several will die. Several what? Now you are just going to have read to figure that out.
Plus, there is this whole savior thing going on like Neo or Anakin Skywalker. The question is, which one will Hope be?
Meanwhile over in the world of everyone’s favorite amnesiac, now I remember Canadian Logan, someone who has been hiding and controlling events in Wolverine’s life for over 100 years finally appears and the result is Wolverine Origins: Romulus Tradepaperback by Daniel Way and Scott Eaton. Reprinting Wolverine Origins #37-40.

A Character To Learn More About
Today marks a first in “A Character” history. I have taken my first submission/recommendation for a character, and not had to have done all the tedious/backbreaking/high stress sleuthing into the nether reaches of Marvel and DC’s vast treasure trove of colorful, bizarre and sometimes crappy characters.

Nemesis #1/ Northlanders V3 TP
Nemesis teams Millar up with Steve McNiven and is about the baddest costumed wearer in the world. Only problem is, he’s not on our side and is currently targeting the life of the police chief in Washington, D.C. after taking out all of Asia’s finest. What does it all mean? Well, you are going to have to read to find out.
And if you have been living under a rock and have not read Millar’s Kick Ass, what exactly are you waiting for? Brave New Worlds has the hardcover collection in stock in anticipation for the mid-April release of the feature film by the same name.
Meanwhile in the land of Vertigo, the Northlanders Volume 3 TP Blood in the Snow collects six issues of Wood’s Viking saga. This edition follows the role of Viking women (you know its going to be bad ass) and also reflect on the Norse art of single combat.
