PoserPoints #62--A Throwdown of Big-Two Titles...Who Wins?

Giant-Size X-Men: Magneto
​By: Jonathan Hickman, Ramon Perez, David Curiel

I enjoyed this little one shot...it's not as much as focusing on Magneto...but what he is willing to do for Emma Frost.  She wants an island to make her own.

ALL THAT MATTERS IS WE GET A NAMOR APPEARANCE!!!! Namor owns the island Magneto is wanting to purchase for Emma, so he goes on a trench-venture and they have to fight a Kraken.  At the end of the trench-venture Magneto picks up something that I don't want to spoil, but we also don't fully know its significance yet! But based on what he has to go through to get it, it must be pretty important!

What should you do? Ya'll know I'm gonna gobble up every X title, especially as we get closer and closer to X of Swords.  I'm gonna study all of these and prepare a large youtube to-do to educate the peoples as we get ready for their first event post HoX/PoX.

Strange Adventures #3 (DC)
Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Evan Shaner

I did not enjoy #2 all that much, but book three bounced back!  It was fun to see his random conversations with Superman and Hawkman about what to do given his predicament.

We also start to get flashbacks to a gladiatorial act of combat which may be our first glimpse into what he's being accused of? It also serves as some additional backstory on Strange and his wife!

What should you do? I'm still enjoying the slow burn of this book in the same way I enjoyed Mister Miracle (even though I didn't have to wait and binged it in the trade!).  If you haven't hopped on yet, you should because they're selling out pretty quickly!

Spider-Woman #2 (Marvel)
By: Karla Pacheco, Pere Perez, Frank D'Armata

She's back in black and is on a bit of a rampage in this issue!  We discover that Jessica vomited up green goo at the end of #1 because she was intentionally poisoned so she could be experimented on to help discover another cure for a cancer.  When she is injected with a partial cure, it makes her stronger and more aggressive (she makes a PMS joke) and she goes to raid a lab to find the last portion of her father's cure.  

What she finds, and the end result seems pretty significant, and I'm excited for #3.

What should you do? I like Jessica Drew, and while this isn't your typical Spider-Woman story, I like the different direction it's taking for now because its partially re-examining the origin of her powers and it's pretty sweet!
