Actually X-infernus is geared towards readers who are familliar with Chris Claremont's X-men titles in the early 80's and you have to read Magik Limited series, Uncanny X-men #160, and probably New Mutants to know all the concepts. The part of Illyana as Darkchilde teleporting to earth even though Limbo is sealed off, she's the ruler of the realm and she can do whatever she wants with it and the magical swords have meaning to them.

I grew up on Claremont's X-Men. And I still didn't like it.

i'm download X-men Noir now...for your on good hope I will like it! XD

[grandlan]

Let me know what you think... but I haven't heard a bad word yet about it.

Great episode man!

I cant find a copy of secret invasion after match.. what it is about?

[grandlan]

It's just a Marvel Spotlight issue with interviews. Mostly text, but interesting stuff nonetheless. Plus, it has a master list of all the Skrull infiltrators, which is cool.

I like Chris Claremont's writing.

[PeteSandusky]

Great reviews. Can't wait for my copy of X-Noir to show up in the mail.

[WeeklyComicReview]

Spider-man Noir should be great! I wasnt that into X-Men Noir..

great show!

[CammysComicCorner]

I really, REALLY enjoyed ASM this week. Waid needs to be writing more ASM, because I haven't bought an ASM issue since that One More Day nonsense.

Keep up the good work!

I wasn't sure about the whole Noir thing but Fred van Lente is a really hot writer at the moment, everything he's done so far has been gold.

And regarding 3.99 for single issues from marvel, I will cut off my toes with a rusty hacksaw before paying that much for a 22 page book. In a couple of months stores won't be able to give those X-infernus and What if books away.
