STAFF PICKS :: X-MEN: BATTLE OF THE ATOM #2 :: OCTOBER 30, 2013
HEATHER’S PICK :: X-MEN: BATTLE OF THE ATOM #2: The conclusion to this year’s X-Men event is finally here! Has it only really been 10 weeks since mutants from past, present, and future have had me on the edge my seat for what happens next? Admittedly, I love any book that features a Quentin Quire Phoenix, but this has been a series that I have been looking forward to as each new book as it came out week to week. While I am excited to see how it ends, I will hate for it not to be in my reserve bag after Wednesday.
For my first Marvel event, I have really enjoyed how the story flowed from one issue to another and didn’t require me to pick up 52 issues each week to keep up with what was going on. Instead I really liked the story in the books I wasn’t already reading. In fact, I will be adding Uncanny X-Men to my pull list going forward. When you add Amazing X-Men in November, the X-Men will have completely taken over my reserve bag.
