 Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews X-Men: Divided We Stand #1 of 2 A collection of five short stories about random X-Men who you may or may not have been wondering about since Cyclops disbanded the X-Men after the Messiah Complex. Each story has a different creative team and presents a very different look at life after the war. None of the stories is particularly happy, but depending on your involvement with the character, none are too depressing either. The issue is very good overall. Professor Xavier has seemingly returned from the shocking events of Messiah CompleX, but now that he’s locked in mortal combat with Exodus, will his reprieve be short-lived? X-Men: Legacy #210, from superstar X-scribe Mike Carey and acclaimed artists Scott Eaton & Greg Land, presents the powerful psychic clash between Xavier and Exodus! But what is Magneto’s role in all of this? An X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, X-Men: Legacy #210 marks a crucial turn in Xavier’s journey and explores his effect on other fan favorite mutants—all affecting the future of mutantkind! The red-hot, sold-out hottest X-launch of the year continues as Wolverine’s new team searches for the kidnapped Wolfsbane and continues their merciless attacks on Purifier bases till they find her! Enter X-Force #3, from the fan-favorite writing team of Christopher Yost & Craig Kyle, with rising star artist Clayton Crain, ratchet the action up to 11. Just what does the return of New Mutants foe Magus mean for X-Force? As Matthew Riseman’s plan comes into full effect, it seems he’s gathered just what—or WHO—he needs…but what’s his endgame? And just how does S.H.I.E.L.D. figure into all this? An X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, X-Force helps set the stage for the future of mutantkind in a world without X-Men! As Cyclops and Emma Frost try to save Angel—and the entire city of San Francisco—from something unexplainable, Wolverine, Colossus and Nightcrawler must face Russia’s deadly Red Room! Uncanny X-Men #497, from Eisner-winning scribe Ed Brubaker (Captain America, Daredevil, Criminal) and rising star artist Michael Choi, continues the acclaimed story of a world without X-Men, with the former superheroes attempting to move on after the events of Messiah CompleX. An X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, this issue continues the red-hot storyline that has fans and critics alike buzzing! In the wake of Messiah CompleX, there are no more X-Men…but what does this mean for those mutants who once united under Xavier’s dream? X-Men Divided We Stand Book 1 (of 2) sets up the new status quo for mutantkind, with an all star creator lineup including Mike Carey (X-Men: Legacy), Matt Fraction (upcoming Uncanny X-Men, Immortal Iron Fist), Craig Kyle (X-Force), Christopher Yost (X-Force), Skottie Young (New X-Men), Brandon Peterson (Ultimate Vision), Jamie McKelvie (Phonogram) and Sana Takeda (Drain)! Wrapped in a gorgeous cover by Peterson, this can’t-miss X-special follows your favorite mutants as they adapt to this bold new world. What’s happened to Cannonball and Husk? What did Nightcrawler do after Messiah CompleX? How disbanding the X-Men affect Storm, Black Panther and Neznho? And what about your favorite New X-man, Anole? Plus, there’s also an additional, previously unsolicited story starring Hellion and guest-starring Magneto!
