“The X-Team, currently a bizarre mix of Professor Xavier, Magneto, Rogue, Gambit, Legion, and Frenzy continues to hunt down Legion’s escaped personas which are wreaking havoc wherever they go. Our heroes spend most of their time fighting Chain, a persona that can turn everyone he touches into a duplicate of himself, and who has turned a large part of London into himself by the time the X-Men arrive. Also on the loose is Susan in Sunshine, who is dispatched with clever somewhat mean-spirited tactics by Frenzy. The X-Men defeat both personas and Legion is able to re-absorb them with relative ease — although anyone actually at ease with that whole “digital watch that holds powerful personas in check” is insane — but Styx remains on the loose and may in fact be hunting the X-Men…”

““Secret Avengers” #14 bounces back in time between the life of Brunhilde and the origin of Valkyrie, to one of the many battlefields of “Fear Itself,” as a handful of soldiers march behind Valkyrie to their likely deaths. The story begins with a pair of soldiers avoiding preparing for a battle related to “Fear Itself” and then draws comparisons between their day and Brunhilde’s journey from princess to Odin’s Valkyrie…”

An easy win this week for this cover by Dustin Nguyen for Gates of Gotham #2. Gorgeous!

Bonus points for Cass Cain being on the next Gates of Gotham Nguyen cover (below).  I hate that silly cape – I mean, capes are silly anyway, but look awesome so we let it go – so when a cape is both extra silly and looks like crap…what’s the point? –  anyway, everything else about this cover is awesome:

This week on She Has No Head! I take a swing at my own DC 52 line up.  It was fun, but exhausting…take a look!

“Uncanny X-Men” is a solid and pretty book, and there’s nothing especially wrong with it. However it’s also not anything you’ll think about a half hour after you’ve finished reading it. This means that it’s better than a whole lot of comics out there, but certainly not living up to its potential with the current creative team..”

““Supergirl” #65 marks only the second time a woman has ever written “Supergirl.” And the other woman was actress Helen Slater, who co-wrote issue #50. To say there was a lot of pressure for Kelly Sue DeConnick to deliver is an understatement. I’m happy to report that she hit it out of the park.”

A tie this week between two great offerings from DC, first up…

Flashpoint: Deadman & The Flying Graysons #1 by Cliff Chiang and Jared Fletcher.  I kinda doubt I’m going to love the issue itself, but the cover is GORG.

Second, a gorgeous Supergirl #65 by Mahmud Asrar and Guy Major.  I miss Amy Reeder on these, but this is a great consolation prize.  I wish we could have it with the title, but without the hideous Green Lantern ad bar (so ugly).  It’s great work though – wonderful composition, rendering of Supergirl, darks and lights…really fantastic stuff.
