248. X-Men vol 1 #4 to 7 ... Marvel (natch) ...


Well, first day of 2015 .. and to start it right, we continue where we left off in 2014 ... to show continuity (yeah, right!) ... and because we want it to start on a BANG and the next story arc continued where the first 3 issues finished off!

Before we go to the story, let's talk about the artwork - Jim continues to churn out over-the-top detailed artwork with great inking and colouring ... except that the legs of his babes can be a wee bit too long and sometimes the thighs are huge ... hehehe but it all works in one tight package!

Now .. for the story ...

If you thought after the huge long arc, it's time for the X-Men to have some downtime, you are right and wrong because just as each of them starts to attend to their own problems, BANG BANG n BANG trouble comes to them


First up we have new baddie Omega Red, Russian from Wolvie and Sabretooth's past, who comes invading the X grounds and then KICK the shit out of all of them and kidnapped ... Wolverine! Yup, that's right! So the X-team goes scrambling trying to find Wolvie

And basically that's it ... they rescued Wolverine ... but not after having a hell of a time trying to get through to the fortress that is their enemy's base of operations

So who else makes an appearance?

The Fenris Twins (from Uncanny 200), the Hand cult through Matsuo, the old professor from Wolvie's past ... as apparently everyone is after a mechanism and that the location may be hidden within Wolvie's memories ... and as we all know waaaay back then, Wolvie's memories are a mess!

Awesome! And we get to see Psylocke flexed those thighs hahahah!
