REVIEW: Gambit #2-5: The Agony and the Extra G’s
Gambit shows off the best and worst of Chris Claremont’s writing. It’s got some unforgettable characters but convenient plot choices may disappoint the reader.

REVIEW: Once Goddess, Once Queen — Vita Ayala Unleashes Storm in Marauders #13
Jonathan Hickman et al have been unsubtly hinting that Storm has a Big Role to Play, though everything leading up to now has implied little more than a chance of rain. To think, it only took a new writer whom I know actually cares about the character and writes her accordingly in Marauders #13 to…
