Debuting on the hardcover list:

• Mighty Avengers Assemble by Brian Michael Bendis, Frank Cho, and Mark Bagley
• Incredible Hercules: Love and War by Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente, Clayton Henry and Salva Espin

Debuting on the softcover list:

Emma’s bad dreams continue, and, man, when the White Queen has a long night, we ALL have long nights. Peter finds horror in the Port of Oakland. The assembly of the fringe science team continues with a big — BIG — discovery that will probably kill them all before they have a chance to fix that whole no-more-mutants thing.

You remember John Maddox, right? He’s the one dupe that Jaime Madrox never reabsorbed. Family man. Pastor. All around decent guy. Well, he’s having a really really BAD day. And things are going to get worse when an armed Madrox comes knocking on his door. He’s looking for answers that only a man of the lord can provide and if Madrox doesn’t like what he hears, it may very well be the last sermon that John Maddox ever delivers…

Your host David A Price talks about New York Comicon, Steve Raker talks about the Year In Review in 1970, Pat Loika brings the new releases, David then returns to review Mighty Avengers, The Uncanny X-Men Annual, Young X-Men and X-Men: Manifest Destiny. David also compares Dazzler to Belle from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. (Not really, but he didn’t leave Derek any show notes to work with and Derek gets bored easily so he just makes stuff up).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you, Derek.

The real show notes are:

We try to keep it brief this week, with our host’s intro followed by Steve and then Pat.  The above titles are mentioned, but there is nothing about Twilight in this episode.

As the Humanity NOW! Coalition spreads its anti-mutant hate like wildfire, violence breaks out everywhere, leaving only one group left to oppose them — the X-Men! The acclaimed creative team of Matt Fraction (Invincible Iron Man) and Terry Dodson present Uncanny X-Men #506 and the future of mutantkind doesn’t look so bright! Only the X-Men’s fringe science team (Beast, Angel and some new allies) can change things before it’s too late! A HUGE discovery makes the chance of survival very small – it’s a race against time like never before!

See what fans and critics are saying about Uncanny X-Men:

“Great writing and great art. I really hope this team stays together as long as possible.” Ryan Y, CokeAndComics.blogspot.com

“Matt Fraction makes it work and makes it work wonderfully…Also for the second issue in a row Terry Dodson knocks it out of the park. His artwork is perfect for this book and the X-Men.” Ryan Broussard, ComiXtreme.com

“I know I’m excited about where this comic is headed.” Timothy Callahan, ComicBookResources.com

“Fraction’s pages pop with his usual vitality.” Jesse Schedeen, Comics.ign.com

“It’s a great time to be an X-fan!” Steven Bari, ComicsBulletin.com

Don’t miss the penultimate chapter of “Lovelorn,” as the X-Men must wage their latest war for survival on multiple fronts—and this may be one they can’t win! Find out in Uncanny X-Men #506!

This is what Deadpool has to resort to, only days after single-handedly saving the entire planet from Skrulls? Oh, that’s right—nobody knows about that…Deadpool didn’t even want this job. But here he is anyway, in some dank corner of Eastern Europe, going toe-to-toe with an undead plastic surgeon and his flesh-eating clientele, contracted by the head of a greasy paramilitary unit to avenge the zombification of the guy’s young, ex-model trophy wife — and all because Wade’s dead broke.
