Brandon Borzelli's Geek Goggle Reviews

X-Men Magneto Testament #3 (of 5)
Marvel Knights (Marvel Comics)
Pak, Di Giandomenico & Hollingsworth

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.

Uncanny X-Men #505
Marvel Comics
Fraction, Dodson, Dodson & Ponsor

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.

This issue helps to build something that will happen down the line. It’s a good but not great issue.

X-Men Legacy #219
Marvel Comics
Carey, Briones, Smith & Reber

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.
