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.

Uncanny X-Men #520 - Marvel
Well . . it seems that Magneto . . Erik, has saved the day. He hatched a plan, with the help of Namor and his people, to build a pillar under the island to help hold it up. They then plan on building a city around the pillar, New Atlantis, . . to protect the pillar, and give their people a new home. The result . . everybody wins. At least that's what you'd think. Until Erik decides to tell Scott what he's done . . afterwards. However, the pillar isn't done yet, so . . anything could happen. Anyways, Scott isn't mad about what he's done. Scott is mad because he hasn't followed the chain of command. Erik has come to the island spouting 'peace' and 'trust', but then he goes off and does something like this without telling anyone. So he's gone off to Mr. Tamalpais in Marin County, and is sitting Buddha style on it's peak. 'This will do nicely. A lot of blood on your hands, old man. A lot of mistakes in this life of yours. Time to do something good with it . .' More on that, next issue. Meanwhile, after the Predator X invasion, and then the nanite scourge, Scott has sent a team to NYC after the final Predator. He wants that one taken out, and then he wants to find the source of the nanite. However, by the time they find the Predator, Fantomex has already killed it. Also, in the process, his robot helper, Eva took care of all the nanites. Logan asks him to help with the source, but Fantomex replies, 'Not my problem, Logan. I'm 'mercenary' . . there's a difference.' But afterwards, Fantomex is talking to some kid about what he's done. I'm thinking this kid is going to talk him into helping. Anyways . . of course Wolverine finds the building where the Predator X's came from. And they enter with style. But the guy who did all this is prepared. 'I'm loading their vitals and fighting styles into your virtual cortex's now. Upgrade yourselves to Wolverine-class warriors and get ready to break their bloody necks.' I'm enjoying what Matt Fraction is doing with this book. He seems to be approaching this series much in the way that Chris Claremont did . . several story-lines going on simultaneously. It makes things very interesting. Greg Land is back this issue for the pencils. Next issue should be very interesting.
