Mini Event Review: X-MEN: SCHISM

By: Peter J Mellini Written by: Jason Aaron Art by: Carlos Pacheco, Frank Cho, Daniel Acuna, Alan Davis, and Andy Kubert.

Review: Ultimate Comics X-men #1

By Peter J Mellini Feared and hated for who they are, Ultimate Comics X-Men #1 brings back the classic feel and structure the X-Men are known for as well as giving it a fresh twist. The events of Ultimatum decimated the ‘Ultimate universe’. Magneto altered the magnetic poles of the Earth and destroyed Manhattan with [...]
