Hey, ComicCraft is still around!

Nova V6 8 Recap Page

Nova is STILL searching for his father!  I mean, a storyline like that really should be wrapped up before the third year, right?  I haven’t read a Nova comic since his tie-in to Original Sin and his tie-in to Black Vortex.  Original Sin came out in 2014, which seems like forever ago.  Lately, Nova has been feeling out of touch with his fellow superhero group.  That does seem weird that he’s a member of the All New All Different Avengers, so he’s pretty ingrain with the whole superhero community.

Issue opens with the battle against the Celestial from Civil War II 1.  Iron Man asks Doctor Strange to do his thing.

The Celestial disappears, Nova and Captain America (the Steve Rogers one) are starting the cleaning process.  I guess Damage Control isn’t a thing right  now.  I could have sworn that I read that Chris Sims was bringing back Damage Control along with his X-Men ’92 co-writer.

Nova V6 8 Magik 1

Tony Stark’s New York City Penthouse.  Later that Night.  This creative team is the first to show Magik being at the party.  Trust me, I’ve checked every panel of these comics, looking for her.

Magik is hanging out with her brother, which I completely get as I usually stick with the one person I know.  Now that Walker Dennis is around, I usually just hang out with him at any parties we are foolishly invited to.

Nova is just walking around, probably looking for a friend.

Nova runs into Rogue, who I didn’t recognize as she doesn’t have any white streaks in her hair.  She is a full brunette here.  She doesn’t recognize Nova, at all.  She thinks he is Richard Rider, the Nova I really liked (and a New Warrior) but I’ve come around with Sam.  Is Rogue a full brunette now?  I don’t read Uncanny Avengers.

Nova tries to relate to her by telling her that he is an Avenger.  They are not on the same squad.  She also thinks that his team must be a new Young Avengers.  He’s on the proper Avengers team.

Nova runs into Miles Morales, his fellow Avenger teammate.  Miles introduces Nova to teen Jean Grey.  I like how Silva draws Nova being shorter than both Rogue and teen Jean Grey.  Nova tries to start up a conversation teen Jean Grey but she wants to catch up with Miles about his friend, Ganke.  Nova feels like yet another third wheel.

Nova V6 8 Magik 2

In the background of that bottom panel, we can see the back of Illyana’s head, with those hair dagger things.

Nova tries his best to get them to tell more of the story but they wave it off.  Nova tries to really get into the conversation.  Captain America, still the Steve Rogers one, has come over to rescue teen Jean Grey, they need her in the kitchen.

Nova V6 8 Magik 3

We’re still seeing the back of Illyana’s head in that third panel.

Nova tries to make a joke about what is happening in the kitchen but Rogers shuts it down.  Miles tries to invite himself and Nova to the scene in the kitchen, as it seems like an important moment is coming.  Rogers tells them that they only need Teen Jean Grey – she won’t be that useful though.

International Iron Man 4 Recap Page

This is the Iron Man title wherein he is trying to figure out who his birth parents are.  Tony has caught up to childhood friend and current arms dealer, Cassandra Gillespie.  Apparently, her dad may have told her who Tony’s father really was.  Are there any golden age characters that could benefit from being placed back in the spotlight as Tony’s parents?  They will have to be, right?  Also, is Bendis’ reveal going to be who Kieron Gillan had in mind?

International Iron Man 4 Magik 1

One Week Ago.  But First!  We have to do with the little matter of Tony trying to deal with the fallout of Civil War II’s first issue.  Yesterday was the Celestial attack and the after party.  Friday is his lady holographic assistant.  I like that Magik is getting some good press there, being on multiple news feeds.  Really, it was the magic empowered heroes who saved that day.

Tony wants Friday to do a search for who his biological parents are.

International Iron Man 4 Magik 2

She’s been working on this search since Tony found out he was adopted – which would have been nice to have an editorial note stating which issue or trade I can find that information in.  A quick Google search reveals that was in Iron Man 17, that way way back in October 2013!  Such a long time to not pick up on that again.

Magik continues to be seen on the news coverage.

Tony asks Friday what she has discovered.

Bulgaria.  Iron Man lands in the country, on a playground it looks like.  I’m not sure why he didn’t go to the American Embassy.  Which is in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Iron Man has a fun little exchange with Anna, a nice elderly lady.  She can’t believe Tony Stark is in front of her, he asks what her name is and she says “Iron Man” as she is still processing it.  He makes a joke about how he’s been called Iron Man, as well, for years.  I like those little moments of levity.

He has come to the place where he was adopted from.  Does that mean he is Bulgarian?  That’s a big get for that country!  He had to personally come here as their files have not been digitized.  Tony is pretty sure someone took his file, most likely Howard Stark.  Which makes complete sense, he’s rich and doesn’t want people to know he is adopting a kid – for business reasons, I’m sure.

Tony mentions how only Howard would know about the adoption.  Anna corrects him, his birth parents knew as well.  Tony isn’t thinking clearly with this matter.

Auckland, New Zealand.  Twenty Years Ago.  I imagine that the beginning of this flashback was in the previous issue.  Cassandra and Tony are having a fight.  Hydra apparently attacked her family, Tony suspects to get at him.  Tony is running away from his parents, he thought she was running from her parents but they know where she is.  Always good to check in with your parents.  Cassandra wanted information about Howard, Tony doesn’t believe he ever mentioned him.  Cassandra corrects him, that’s all he ever talked about.

Cassandra, again, tells Tony that she loves him.  He doesn’t believe it.  Howard shows up in SHIELD flying cars of that era.  He doesn’t want the kids talking as Cassandra is a terrorist.  Howard brought good ol’ Dum Dum Dugan, who has a sniper rifle pointed at her head.  Howard is having SHIELD arrest her.  Tony keeps trying to get a word in but classic Howard is shutting Tony down.

Hydra planes fly in and start firing on the SHIELD cars and the Starks.  Cassandra runs away.  Hydra agents land and grabs Cassandra.  They open fire but Howard has a force field, so they are okay.

Bucharest.  Gillespie Compound.  Today.  We see current day Cassandra, who has an eye patch over her left eye.  Tony asks her who his biological father is.  She has a gun pointing at his head.  She reveals that her parents are dead, which surprises Tony.  I take it, he didn’t do any research on his old friend.

Cassandra can’t believe Tony isn’t asking her how she is still alive.  He goes right into the explanation of how clearly if she’s alive, she’s been working with Hydra.  He’s been in the costume slash armor business for a long time now.  He didn’t ask as it has nothing to do with the information he seeks.

Tony also knows that Cassandra has summoned Mandroids to their location.  Tony originally created Mandroids for SHIELD, I had to look it up.  I would have sworn they were AIM created and I was going to write how odd it is that a former Hydra agent now has AIM technology but that isn’t the case.  In three minutes, the Mandroids should be arriving.

Cassandra didn’t know Tony was adopted, I imagine most don’t.  She’s watched Tony’s superhero career unfold, expecting to run across him at any moment. It never happened.

Cassandra explains how silly it is that both Hydra and AIM are loud about their business practices.  She has carved out a corner of the arms market that her clients appreciate is very discrete.

Tony asks if she thinks about him as he thinks about her all the time.  I suspect he doesn’t but it is a nice thing to say.  Cassandra wonders if Tony really is adopted or if this is some bad intel that he has been given.  Which is a good point, I’m not sure of the actual story that revealed that he was adopted.  How did that information come out?

Issue ends with the Mandriods arriving.  Cassandra can’t let Tony leave as it will hurt her reputation.  I suspect he makes it out of there alive.

Deadpool V4 14

Deadpool V4 14 Recap Page

Deadpool is  lot of things these days – Avenger, Assassin, Superstar, Smelly and a Husband.  He is also a mercenary and now has a group of mercenaries of his own, that he has been neglecting.  These other folks make up the team that appear in Mercs for Money – a title I still don’t get.  Are there mercenaries that do what they do as volunteers?  Mercenaries are all about that sweet cash.  Or they are undercover cops posing as guns for hire.  Currently, these Mercs for Money have not been happy with Deadpool as he’s been very busy being a beloved hero.  So money isn’t coming in.

This issue opens with Deadpool trying to sexually satisfied his wife, Shiklah.  She’s not quite there yet.  I do like these two together, they should still be newlyweds, except for the whole eight month gap.  There is a subplot about how there are odd hairs in their bed.  I’m not sure what that is about

Deadpool is trying to get Shiklah to commit her monsters of Monster Metropolis to helping with the coming threat.  Before Shiklah can commit, she wants him to watch their shows together.

The monsters start moving out, Shiklah is leading the Howling Commandos so they are joining the fight too.

We catch up to the Mercenaries and the opening fight from Civil War II.  The Mercenaries are – Masacre, Terror, Stingray, Foolkiller, Solo and Slapstick.  I’m not that familiar with Masacre or Foolkiller.  Masacre looks knew, he’s a Spanish Deadpool – is what I can tell.  They are way out of their league, as they see the Celestial.

Stingray takes the time to proposition Solo about breaking away from Deadpool, he isn’t earning them any money.  The other mercenaries are saving civilians.

Solo and Foolkiller seem to be wearing the same uniform.  I remember when Solo’s color scheme was green, now it is maroon.  Solo is rocking one of those 90s Cyclops head socks so his hair can breathe.

Solo and Stingray playfully save a lady and her baby.  Solo teleports the mother and she throws up on him – he’s use to it.  I like how, nearly off panel, she grabs her baby from Stingray.

Deadpool V4 14 Magik 1

We get to Magik’s moment during Civil War II!  Deadpool refers to this team as “Doctor Strange and the Avengers of the Supernatural” a title I would buy today if it was on the stands!  I like how Hawthorne draws Magik’s costume, as it really covers her.

The citizens of New York City are happy that the day is saved.  High fives are all over the place.  Shiklah kisses Deadpool, as she walks away, he comments again on how she has a new dog.  Where is this leading to?  I hope not a divorce!

Deadpool gets a text that there is a party at Stark Tower.  The Mercs For Money are excited but Deadpool is only bringing Shiklah.  I’m sure Tony would have allowed more people but I guess they do work for Deadpool so it is his call.

Once Deadpool is gone, the Mercs plan a mutiny.  This splash page shows that Solo is in a maroon costume and Foolkiller is in a purple costume.  Similar design but definitely different color schemes.

The Mercs get back to base and Foolkiller asks if Cable is going to the after party.  Cable wouldn’t be caught dead in Avengers Tower.  Foolkiller doesn’t like Cable and how he’s a hard arse.

Avengers Tower.  Deadpool is chatting with Vision.  They are discussing Ulysses as he walks up.  Deadpool doesn’t buy into the Inhuman’s powers.

J. Jonah Jameson is flying his own news helicopter and it states “Fact Channel News” whatever happened to the Daily Bugle?  Peter starts Parker Industries (well, Doctor Octopus did, right?) and the Daily Bugle ceases to exist?  I know Jameson became the major of the city at some point but that’s about all I know.  Apparently Jameson is a big fan of Deadpool (does that make any sense?) and he still doesn’t like Deadpool.

Jameson refers to the Mercs as hirelings which upsets the hirelings.  Terror (Inc) breaks the television.  Agent Adsit (who I remember from the previous volume) is going back to SHIELD as he doesn’t want to be Deadpool’s agent any more.

Solo brings up how they should own their own business.

A little while later.  Solo has created a website, as I guess mercenaries are okay to have websites promoting their illegal activities – in the Marvel Universe.  Maybe it is on the Dark Internet.

Stingray mentions how they need to get start up capital.  Cable walks in with an armful of money.  Apparently Cable just goes back in time with the little amount of money he has and redeposits it into his banking account and lives off of the interest.  He’s finally down to his last millions, in 2016.

Issue ends on a very funny note of Stingray offering to become Cable’s new Six Pack or New New Mutants.  Cable wants nothing to do with these goons.

Civil War II X-Men 1

Writer Cullen Bunn

Artist Andrea Broccarado

Colorist Jesus Aburtov

Letterer VC’s Joe Sabino

Cover Artist David Yardin

Hopefully this miniseries is better than Civil War : X-Men.  I imagine we are getting Magneto v Storm, whereas the first one had Cyclops v Bishop.

Civil War II X-Men 1 Recap Page

The Inhumans let lose a global terrigen mist bomb.  Mutants are on the run.  Storm’s team, the Extraordinary X-Men have sworn to protect humans, Inhumans and mutants alike.  Magneto’s team, the Uncanny X-Men, have decided to seek out opposition and stop threats before they have had a chance to strike.

Dubai.  The mist is on the way to the grand Arabian city.  The rich mutants of the city have locked themselves inside the penthouse.  Magneto’s team – Sabretooth, M and Psylocke – arrive with the poorer mutants.  No mutants will be killed due to the cloud’s effects this day.  That was, until the servants turn out to the Prime Sentinels.  They want all mutants to be dead, so they blow out the windows.  Which does seem odd, I would imagine instead of a penthouse, the mutants should have gathered in a baseman.

The Uncanny X-Men start trying to get the mutants away from the incoming cloud.  Just then, the winds start blowing the mist into the opposition direction.

Civil War II X-Men 1 Magik 1

Storm and her Extraordinary X-Men have arrived.  Man, Illyana looks so off without her bangs.  We’re seeing too much of her forehead!  It looks unsettling.  The Extraordinary X-Men are – Iceman, Teen Jean Grey, Magik, Nightcrawler and Old Man Logan.

Civil War II X-Men 1 Magik 2

Storm orders her X-Men to assist Magneto’s X-Men.  Teen Jean doesn’t know about Sentinel Primes.  She does point out how Magneto should have just ripped apart the Sentinels when they first appeared.

Magik starts to teleport the bystanders.  We get some more tension between M and Magik, which Bunn hinted at in his Uncanny X-Men series, issue five.  I’m still not sure where the hostility comes from.

Kurt and Psylocke see each other, though I’m not really sure that they have that much history together.  They teamed up several times during his Excalibur days.

Civil War II X-Men 1 Magik 3

Magik and Jean hint that they have been given future knowledge.  This catches M’s attention.

Is this the first time Sabretooth has met Old Man Logan?  It seems to waste their first meeting in this miniseries, if that is the case.  They do not get along, which makes sense.  I do like Sabretooth teasing Old Man Logan.  Old Ma Logan looks weird without wearing his jacket.

Magneto saves Storm from being attacked by Prime Sentinels.

Civil War II X-Men 1 Magik 4

If Storm could move the T-Cloud why isn’t she just constantly moving these clouds?  Old Man Logan doesn’t like being called, Wolverine.

Since when did M become a slight telepath?  She knows about Ulysses as she picked up the thoughts from Magik and Teen Jean earlier.

Civil War II X-Men 1 Magik 5

Magneto doesn’t like that Storm is willing to work with the Inhumans.  The Inhumans’ actions have brought death to mutants and that is unforgivable.

I like Bunn taking the time to tease his Uncanny run, if someone wants answers, they could pick up those issues.  I imagine they are hinting at (Arch)Angel, as he isn’t with the team here.  If that was the case, though, why wasn’t Psylocke shown has having her head down and being sad?

Civil War II X-Men 1 Magik 6

I do feel like I want to be on Magneto’s side with this as I too do not care for the Inhumans, ever since Inhumanity started.

M mentions Ulysses by name and Pslocke, a full telepath, decides to now use that power on Teen Jean.

We get a page recap of Civil War II 0 & 1.

Teen Jean straight forces Psylocke to throw up – which seems both unnecessary and disgusting.  She’s the worst.

The two teams go separate ways.

Issue ends with War Room X, in the Savage Land.  Kurt has decided to switch from Storm’s side to Magneto’s side.  Which makes sense as

Magneto Was Right

Magneto is right.

I know I’ll be getting the second issue so we’ll find out more.  Hopefully Kurt isn’t just being a spy for Storm as that seems too easy.

New Avengers V4 12

Writer Al Ewing

Penciler Paco Medina

Inker Juan Velasco

Color Artist Jesus Aburtov

AIM vs SHIELD Part One

Like Original Sin, Magik is probably going to appear in a splattering of issues but then not appear in any of the other chapters or tie-ins.

New Avengers V4 12 Recap

The current New Avengers are – Hawkeye (Clint), Squirrel Girl, Hulking and Wiccan.  Songbird is an agent of SHIELD and the New Avengers.  AIM, Avengers Idea Mechanics, are Sunspot, White Tiger, Power Man and POD.  Sunspot now owns AIM, he uses them for rescue missions.  They have beef with SHIELD, due to a recent international rescue.  Now AIM is in hiding in the Savage Land. The current members are also the public members of the team.  I’m not sure if, publically, they are actually called “New Avengers.”

Issue opens with Maria Hill, in her typical mood of unhappy.  She is joined by John Garrett, who is 90% robot and looks like he is rocking a Dum Dum Dugan style mustache.  She suspects that Sunspot is going to be swayed by AIM and turn heel.

So that deals with the current storyline, now we get to the Civil War II tie-in.  We get a fun narrative boxes, introducing the All-New New Avengers.  They are represented in the all star cast of characters seen in Civil War II, when the heroes first confronted the Celestial Destructor.

Hulkling reveals his soulsword that Wiccan gifted him with.  Squirrel Girl has lots of questions, so this must be the first time it is seen.

New Avengers V4 12 Magik 1

We cut over to Wiccan’s side of the conversation, as he’s part of Magik and her Sorcerers Supreme.  I like that Wiccan is still considered to be Scarlet Witch’s son.

Doctor Strange acts like Magik’s only role is to teleport these chumps.  Though without her, they can’t accomplish their goals so who really has all of the power?

New Avengers V4 12 Magik 2

I do like having the dialogue being repeated from the main series, it is the simple way to go but that isn’t the way these things usually go

Poor Squirrel Girl is losing squirrels left and right!

New Avengers V4 12 Magik 3

The Sorcerers Supreme cast the Group Spell of Dimension Reversal, from the book of Vishanti, page 2342.

New Avengers V4 12 Magik 4

I like getting the minutes later scene as I’m sure the mages would be quite tired.  Doctor Voodoo is quite tired, Magik is ready for round two – she knows no quit.  Doctor Strange’s back hurts, as he is weak.  Scarlet Witch wants some tea, make mine sweet, please.

Wiccan can’t join his mother as his former boss, Sunspot, calls him.  Cannonball is with Sunspot, Magik should be part of this team.  Maybe Dani Moonstar too! What is she doing these days?  I know Doug Ramsey is around too, pick that guy up too!  That’s how I would do it.  Does Cannonball still have his kid with Smasher?  Or was that an alternate future?

Hulkling and the New Avengers have rejoined Wiccan.  Hulkling asks if Wiccan would be interested in Hulkling staying in his Centaur shape.  Those two are the best.

Sunspot wants his full team back but Wiccan doesn’t want to be an outlaw.  Both Squirrel Girl and Hulkling are curious if Sunspot has a hovercraft made of robot eagles.  A device that is too enticing to ignore.  Sunspot finally has to admit that he doesn’t have that.  Wiccan accepts to have everyone come in.

We see that Sunspot is being watched by Ultimate Reed Richards (does he remember Secret Wars 2015?) he’s going by the name, The Maker.  He’s running the organization, WHISPER, which we are not suppose to worry what it stands for – just like HAMMER.

The Maker has created the New Revengers – Asti, Paibok, Skaar, OMNITRONICUS, Angar (who I know from Songbird’s origins), The White Tiger and Vermin – the awesome Captain America / Spider-Man villain penned by legend JM DeMatteis.

Dum Dum Dugan, who is all machine, meets with Garrett.  Dugan is overseeing the Howling Commandos.  He’s also an alien LMD hybrid.  Garrett takes over Dugan and also the thousand other Dugan LMDs that are in storage and turns them to his own means – which is finding AIM.

I doubt I’ll get any other issues of this series, unless Magik is involved (of course) but this wasn’t a bad issue.  I really have missed Paco Medina’s artwork.

Civil War II 1

Writer Brian Michael Bendis

Artist David Marquez

Color Artist Justin Ponsor

Letterer VC’s Clayton Cowles

Designer Victor Ochoa

Cover Artist Marko Djurdjevic

Since we went to the Hastings’ Launch Party, we received this –

Civil War II Michael Cho lithograph giveaway

Lithograph by Michael Cho, which was also a variant cover.

As we saw from from May’s Civil War Month tie-in, I didn’t get that many comics in the first Civil War that won’t be the case with the sequel as I already know I’m getting five tie-ins.

All I’m hoping for, is to not be on Iron  Man’s side in this event.  As I want to be Team Carol, all the way!

Columbus, Woods-N-Waters Campgrounds.  Ulysses, the Inhuman, is running in the woods.  The Royal Family, plus Human Torch and X-Traitor, Beast – confront him.

Manhattan, Weeks Later.  I miss those cast pages to these big events.  This issue does a great job of putting name boxes next to the characters but I guess that is up to the writer’s preference or maybe editor, I’m not sure.

We catch up to the All New All Different Avengers – Iron Man, Miles Morales Spider-Man, FalCap, Nova and Ms. Marvel.  They are clearly in a middle of a fight.  They are fighting back a Celestial invasion.  As things look bad, Jane Foster Thor comes onto the battlefield.  She’s brought a whole slew of heroes!  It is an extraordinary page, except it is missing Magik from the X-Men corner of the page.  We’ll see her in a bit.

Carol and Tony are friendly in battle.  Tony asks for the doctor’s assistance.

Civil War II 1 Magik 1

We see Doctor Strange and several sorcerers.  They include – Scarlet Witch, Hellstrom, Doctor Voodoo, Wiccan, Shaman and Magik!  I simply love that Magik has been allowed to become a mainstay in Marvel’s magic realm.

Magik gets to show off some of her wit, Bendis was always good at writing her.  They sorcerers cast “the group spell of dimension reversal.  Book of Vishanti, page 2342.”  Which I still like that Bendis continues to cite where the magic spell comes from.

Civil War II 1 Magik 2

Like he tried to do on the previous page, Hellstrom tries to steal the moment with his attitude.

Spider-Man and Spider-Woman are rescuing kids.  Miles is on the page, so I see what the creative team is trying to do there.

Civil War II 1 Magik 3

Doctor Strange announces that the Celestial Destructor is gone.  All of the mages look exhausted but Magik is at least getting to her feet.

Medusa and Beast are impress that the plan worked.  Nova wonders how they got the heads up about this invasion.

Stark Tower, the Next Evening.  Looks like the X-Men all showed up for this party, but not Magik – for some reason.  Tony gives a big speech and everything is genuinely having a good time.

No one still knows how they were given such notice of the invasion.  Carol knew it came from the Inhumans, she is about to ask the question as Tony is already asking.  Medusa pulls aside a select group of heroes.  War Machine, Peter Parker Spider-Man, Steve Rogers and FalCap are all invited.

Medusa introduces everyone to Ulysses, who can see the future.  Everyone wants to know how the mechanics of that works, Tony wants to get Little Jean Grey in the room.  Rogers isn’t sure if that’s a good idea due to the rift between the X-Men and Inhumans.

Jean tries to read Ulysses’ mind but it is unreadable.  Little Jean Grey, the worst.

We get the set up, how Carol wants to use Ulysses and Tony doesn’t want to use Ulysses.  Tony really doesn’t want to get into this as last time he disagreed with a captain, heroes were pitted against each other.  Though I do like how Tony is written, how he points out that Ulysses didn’t see a future, he saw a possible future.  The future he saw, involved the Celestial destroying the world (I imagine) and that isn’t the future that happened.

Ulysses goes into his origins, it basically is the new Inhuman origin of the Terrigen Mist bomb and waking up an Inhuman.

Tony tries another approach about what would happen if Ulysses sees a possible future where a hero has turn bad.  Would everyone turn on that one hero, just because a possible future states they could go bad.

Carol points out that Tony is a futurist, which he is, he wants to protect the future.

Ulysses is impressed that he met Tony Stark, Spider-Man (in a fun moment) says that it s cool but then you get over it.

New Attilan, Three Weeks Later.  Ulysses wakes up, from another vision.  He tells his Queen, Medusa.

Mary Jane tells Tony that something bad happened to War Machine.

There should be a big black page that reads “Go Read Free Comic Book Day Civil War.”  There, the Ultimates (one of Carol’s teams) and War Machine went up against Thanos.  It didn’t go well as War Machine died and She-Hulk was badly injured.

War Machine may have been Tony’s best friend but he was also Carol’s boyfriend – so both leads are sad.  Carol retells Tony the tale of that free issue, in a quarter of the pages.

She-Hulk wakes up but then goes back into cardiac arrest as the issue ends with Tony flying away.

Of the titles that are promoted at the end, I know I need to buy Civil War II : X-Men 1, Deadpool 14, International Iron Man 14, New Avengers 12 and Nova 8.  Like Original Sin, Magik was there for a key moment in the beginning but she may not keep appearing in other titles after the premise has been established.

Would I protect the future (Tony) or change the future (Carol)?  I would change the future, at this moment.
