Comics

X-Men #2 by Jed MacKay & Ryan Stegman

I'm not deliberately reading these one each Sunday, it's just how it happens to be panning out. I am still a total of four issues behind across all three books, but considering what US comics publishing schedules are like, I'd still probably catch up in a month or two even if I maintained this pace.

As well as the feature story, this issue includes the eighth and concluding part of Deadpool/Wolverine crossover Weapon X-Traction. It looks like the first seven parts were to be found in random other comics ("random" in the sense that, for example, no other X-Men books featured an instalment). I guess it was all about promoting Deadpool & Wolverine as widely as possible rather than telling a story in a reasonably accessible manner. Anyway, I didn't read it. What would be the point?
