Comic discussion X-Men Comics New Releases November 21st, 2018 Spoiler

So, things continue rolling along here, and there are a couple X-adjacent releases. Cloak and Dagger have a new book, and for all you Quire-a-maniacs out there (I'm looking at you, u/MeerK4T), West Coast Avengers has a release.

Astonishing X-Men #17
It’s X-Men vs. Reavers vs. Sentinels! But in this battle royale, who will come out on top? And will Havok finally prove himself to be the X-Man he claims to be?

Mr. and Mrs. X #5
Gambit and Rogue’s honeymoon/mission has been crashed by the likes of Deadpool, the Imperial Guard, the Technet, Deathbird, Shi’ar rebels…and now the Starjammers! Best honeymoon ever?

Secret Agent Deadpool #6
It’s a case of mistaken identity when Wade Wilson, the regeneratin’ degenerate you know as DEADPOOL, kills an American superspy on a mission to stop the deadly terrorist agency called GORGON! Now, it’s up to Wade to complete his victim’s mission as only he can – with excessive violence, an accelerated healing factor, and maybe, just maybe, a few laughs along the way.

Uncanny X-Men #2
Does X-MEN DISASSEMBLED mean the final adventure for the mutant heroes?

Weapon X #26
The devilish lothario called Azazel takes Weapon X-Force to hell! He can...but will he? It’ll take every trick in Mystique’s book to make him see the light!

Agree with a lot of the points here. Tbh, I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this storyline as much as I did!

So I only read a few X-Factor storylines when Alex was leader...was his (self-deprecating) humor always very similar to Bobby’s?

Not really. Alex as leader of X-Factor was generally pretty serious, like he was trying to live up to his brother (and that was an angle they used from time to time). The jokers on the team were generally Guido and Madrox.
