 Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews X-Men Magneto Testament #3 (of 5) This comic centers squarely on the Holocaust. It’s graphic but not too vulgar. It paints as realistic of a picture as it can when dealing with a horrific historic event in a comic book. To be fair, this comic has little to do with the X-Men, heroes, capes, villains and super powers. It takes a major player and drops him, as a child, in the worst documented atrocities seen made against mankind in the twentieth century. This issue was disturbing but very good. Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Weekly Rankings For 1/02/09 Here are this week’s comics ranked prior to reading them: 9. Batman #684 A solid week with no duds in the bunch. This was a difficult ranking from top to bottom. Here are the rankings after the first read through with a mini-review:  05:34:27 am, by ComicList 
Categories: Marvel Comics, Reviews, Geek Goggle Reviews Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews Uncanny X-Men #505 Lots of threads open up as this issue helps to anchor Uncanny at the center of X-Universe as well as create some interesting plots. The story is just starting out so this issue has some strong points but is kind of slow. The artwork suits the mood but doesn’t go out of its way to frame the story as something great either. This issue helps to build something that will happen down the line. It’s a good but not great issue. 06:05:19 am, by ComicList
Categories: Marvel Comics, For Your Consideration, Reviews Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews X-Men Legacy #219 This issue is a one in done story about Xavier confronting his step brother, Cain aka Juggernaut. The story makes good use of the long history between the two characters, but the driver behind the confrontation isn’t completely clear. In previous installments in this series Xavier has been after something when he went digging into someone’s head. It appears this issue he just wants to see how easy it would be to reform Juggernaut. From that perspective the issue is a disappointment, but the execution of what is presented is fairly good.
