Fantastic Four #568

Where in continuity is this book taking place? It certainly doesn't appear to be in the current Marvel universe, which is a shame because the story here is actually better than the Dark Reign / Norman Osborn rules the world story eating up the rest of the Marvel Universe. And that makes it very hard to get invested in the FF. I don't want to care about what is happening if in the end it's not going to count...it never happened...this isn't the same FF as the 616 FF. It would be better if someone would just come out and say this.

Uncanny X-Men #512

This was pretty cool, all steam punk and like. Again I like the story here of Beast trying to find a way of reversing the events of M-Day, then the current Dark Reign snooze fest. It's always cool when the Dark Beast shows up. It was kind of crappy that the two Beasts didn't interact. All in All though I am not going to complain about this issue...it's far better than what's to come.

Uncanny X-Men #513: Utopia Chapter 2

The Dark Reign story line is really ruining some of my favorite characters. Why would Emma act like this? I just don't see her joining up with Norman and ditching everything she has built for herself with the X-Men. And Cloak and Dagger being a part of this team make even less sense them Emma joining up and Leading. Namor? I don't care about Namor...I do think they set this up well enough that he would do this if Emma asked him and gave him a good reason. But that's not even the worst of the worst...Mystique agreeing to have nanobots injected into her so that Norman can control her? Yeah, I think not. I am not a hater...but this is stupid.
