I thought I’d share more comic book wallpapers with you just like I did last year. Hopefully, I can do more of these because it’s fun. Or maybe I’ll do Facebook Timeline Covers instead. I don’t know. Just like last time, to download the wallpaper that you want, just click on the image, click Expand to Original Size, then right-click on the image and choose Save As to download that bitch.

I used the full extent of my X-Men knowledge and deductive prowess to identify the shadows in the X-Men: Regenesis teasers. Now that all the shadows have been eliminated, let’s break down who’s on whose side of the fence after X-Men: Schism. Let’s also see which of my educated guesses were right and which of them were absolutely wrong. Let’s start with Team Cyclops.

While everybody else is freaking out about the thought of the DC universe (as we know it) ending this week, I’m meticulously poring over the X-Men: Regenesis teasers. It looks like we’re getting 8 X-Men team books after Schism with Team Cyclops and Team Wolverine getting 4 books each.

That was back in X-Men #188 (“Legacy” was added to the title with #208). Now we’re at X-Men Legacy #251 and he’s still firing on all cylinders. We’re in the middle of a story where Legion is trying to reclaim several of his rogue personalities — long story — with the help of Rogue, Magneto, Professor X, Gambit and Frenzy. There’s a great mix of characterization and action here. Everything feels fresh thanks to this odd and highly volatile grouping.

Looks like I’m on a one-post-per-three-weeks schedule with these reviews. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, and I don’t want to spend a whole paragraph on figuring it out. So let’s get right on to the reviews.

Secret Six #1: I enjoyed The Six’s guest appearance in Birds of Prey so much back when Gail Simone was still writing that series, I decided to check out their first ever ongoing. It’s now on my pull list. I guess I just got to have a Gail Simone book in there at all times (I dropped Wonder Woman because it just wasn’t working out for me).
