    Default Review: A+X #2

    In "A+X" #2, the new issue of the new Marvel NOW! anthology series, Chris Bachalo teams up Rogue and the Black Widow, while Peter David and Mike Del Mundo get Kitty Pryde and Tony Stark together for... a job interview?!


    Full review here.

    Too bad Kitty doesn't take the job offer with Stark (or at least I assume she's not going to take it). Kitty showing up in another book each month would be kinda nice. And I think it's always interesting to see a character removed from their usual setting.

    I wish the reviewer had mentioned something about the shared subplot this series is supposed to have.
    New Avengers, Morbius The Living Vampire, Scarlet Spider, Iron Man, Fearless Defenders, Fantastic Four, Deadpool Killogy, Savage Wolverine, Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men & X-Force, Cable & X-Force, Gambit

    She's too busy doing Wolverine's job.
    That's right! Al Gore invented the internet, let's all go kick his ass!

    I got your inconvenient truth right here, motherf*&¨%!

    As the reviewer in question, this is the first I've heard of this. Do you mean a subplot shared through various issues, or shared between the two stories in a single issue? Where has this been proposed? I've not seen all of the advance press, so maybe I missed mention of it. Certainly having read the first two issues I've seen nothing of the sort, nor did I expect to.

    The individual issues are supposed to be stand-alone stories with no connecting thread beyond the A+X premise.

    In all fairness Wolverine is a pretty busy guy. If you're essentially in 47 super hero teams at any one given time you're likely going to need to learn to delegate a bit.

    I just knew someone was going to put that up within the first ten posts. Fanservice FTW.

    Kitty's prime goal is to help Mutants, Stark has show that to be something of very little interest to him

    BTW what happened to Stark's defenses against Kitty that were shown in WAXM?

    I love that Kitty's genius is finally acknowledged.

    Seriously! it seems to be across the board too. Over in All New X-Men for instance.

    Carol doesn't come off looking too good here.She's too busy/lazy to answer a distress call so she sends Rogue in her place with her absorbed powers?
