I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

X-Men #192 - Marvel
Chris Bachalo is back on pencils this issue. The only problem I have with his art is that, this issue, there 5 different inkers. Most of the pages look good, but every few pages we come across one that I really don't like the way the inker finished the page. I don't know which one it is, but I really don't like the way he inks Chris' pencils. Page 5 is the perfect example of what I'm talking about. Anyways, besides that, he and Mike Carey have put together an awesome storyline. Basically, a group of people, the Children of the Vault, have been awakened and have decided that they are the rightful owners of the earth. They were some people that were experimented on in the 60's, on a ship off the coast of South America. Basically they were testing a hyper evolutionary process. Well, in the process the project was shut down, and all but forgotten about. So on M day, when all the mutants were decimated, they were awoken. And, after 40 or so years, they had been evolved thousands of years. So really, they're like a whole new species. They wanted to stay hidden, but Sabretooth broke up that little party. Seeing what they could do, Sabretooth was scared for the first time in his life, and ran straight to the X-men. With the X-men in their sights, and vise verse, they've decided to drop the charade and announce their supremacy to the world. Starting with wiping out the X-men. So they've popped the Conquistador, a giant oil tanker, out of the ocean and into the air, and are flying it straight to Westchester. Rogue, as squadron leader, has been assigned to assemble a team to go out and meet the enemy, and try to stop them before they arrive. Her team includes, Cable, Lady Mastermind, Iceman, Sam, Sabretooth and Mystique. Quite the lineup. But when then reach the ship, they really don't accomplish much. Next thing they know, the ship is in the air, straight over the mansion. This is part 5 of 6, so I really don't know how they're going to get out of this one. Good luck, Rogue.
