X-Men Messiah Complex Opening Coverage
Our perspective on the X-Men's biggest event in a decade

Marvel's merry mutants haven't had their best run these recent years. They went through a whole medley of transitions, most of which left their playing field just as confusing as before. Whether it was switching around creative talent or revamping the character lineups of the books, the X titles were anything but consistent. Then came House of M which should have led to a more streamlined and focused environment but instead gave us six months of aimless wandering and melodrama. Since then however, the books have slowly been working to get on a common path and the future of the franchise is starting to look very promising. Giving this resurgence a riotous kick start will be the first proper mutant crossover event in over a decade, Messiah Complex. Be excited.

On the Horizon: Fablewood
Previews and an inside look with editor William Ward

There are things monthly floppy releases just don't give you enough of. Certain genres, unconventional styles, and lesser known creators simply don't get the voice they deserve. Sometimes it becomes necessary to turn to other collections and printings to get certain fixes, something which the Flight anthologies have garnered increasing success and acclaim doing. Joining the effort early next year is Fablewood; an anthology from Ape Entertainment focusing on the realm of fantasy in the comic medium. Previews show this thing to be looking very impressive and giving up his time to further convince us is editor William Ward.
