Torch #5
February 7th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
If this issue were a children's storybook, it would be called "Too Many Torches!"
X-Men: Legacy #232
January 26th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
Nothing really progresses in the latest issue of "X-Men: Legacy," but as an extended series of fight and chase scenes it's not bad.
The Unwritten #9
January 18th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
A prison break! Tragedy! Sadness! Another good installment of Vertigo's "Harry Potter" pastiche.
X-Men: Legacy #231
December 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"X-Necrosha" finally hits "X-Men: Legacy," and Mike Carey's book is perfectly suited to looking at those deceased mutants of the past.
Unwritten #8
December 15th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
When does an innocent belief in fiction cross the line into delusion? That’s what the latest “Unwritten” asks, but the answer is undercut by the book’s larger narrative somewhat.
X-Men: Legacy #229
November 23rd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"X-Men: Legacy" is currently telling good old-fashioned superhero stories, and I'm down with that kind of fun.
X-Necrosha #1
October 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The three participating books in "X-Necrosha" show what they've got in store with zombie mutants, and there's some fun stuff up ahead.

X-Men: Legacy Annual #1
September 15th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"X-Men: Legacy" kicks off its new direction, but don't expect a complete story in this Annual.
The Unwritten #5
September 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An exploration of the career of Rudyard Kipling as it relates to Tom Taylor who doesn’t appear in this issue at all. Don’t worry, you won’t miss him.
The Torch #1
September 2nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
I'm a page that fell out of a different book. There's nothing I can do. No context for me." So speaks Toro – Tom Raymond – to a Vision of a different stripe. Everything old is new again.
X-Men Legacy #227
August 24th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Rogue, Gambit, and Danger lend a helping hand during the events of “Utopia.”
The Unwritten #4
August 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Mike Carey increases the suspense, the horror, and the mystery in this very good Vertigo series.
The Unwritten #3
July 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
What does “Frankenstein” have to do with Tom Taylor’s quest to find out his true identity? A lot more than you’d think, as this issue begins to show just what this fantastic new series is all about.
X-Men: Legacy #226
July 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"X-Men: Legacy" gets pulled into the crossover between "Dark Avengers" and "Uncanny X-Men" and the result is solid enough.
The Unwritten #2
June 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Mike Carey and Peter Gross's "The Unwritten" mixes mystery, fantasy, and a love of books into the perfect synthesis of all three.
The Unwritten #1
May 13th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An incredibly strong debut that will only set you back a buck. Buy this comic!
X-Men: Legacy #221
February 17th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
More lingering in daydreams of the past, more wasted talent.
X-Men Legacy #220
January 27th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Professor X and Gambit head to Australia to find Rogue, and meanwhile a character from “X-Men Legacy”goes on her own search.
X-Men: Manifest Destiny #5
January 19th, 2009 | By James Hunt
The final part of the “Manifest Destiny” tie-in miniseries, with a lead story featuring Iceman and Mystique.
X-Men: Legacy #219
December 18th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Why "X-Men: Legacy" isn't really titled "The Adventures of Professor X" is still a mystery, as Carey turns out a competent but slightly forgettable story involving the Juggernaut.
Secret Invasion: X-Men #4
December 1st, 2008 | By James Hunt
Cyclops and the X-Men defeat the Skrulls at unexpected cost. By Carey and Nord.
X-Men: Manifest Destiny #2
October 14th, 2008 | By James Hunt
It’s time for another X-Men anthology, featuring a lead story about Iceman by Mike Carey, and backup shorts featuring Juggernaut and Emma Frost.
X-Men: Manifest Destiny #1
September 8th, 2008 | By James Hunt
The X-Men are in San Francisco, so it's time for an anthology title exploring what some of the less prominent members are doing there!
X-Men Origins: Beast #1
September 5th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
"X-Men Origins" continues with the story of the Beast before he joined the X-Men. We've seen pieces in flashback, but this story is set completely in flashback and takes Hank McCoy out of the ordinary world.
Secret Invasion: X-Men #1
August 18th, 2008 | By James Hunt
The Skrulls enter San Francisco, only to find the X-Men waiting for them! By Mike Carey and Cary Nord
Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? #1
June 17th, 2008 | By James Hunt
A Skrull-themed anthology title plugs continuity holes and picks up dangling threads, but does it offer anything to people who aren’t "Secret Invasion" completists?
X-Men: Divided We Stand #2
May 25th, 2008 | By James Hunt
While an improvement over the opening issue due to a decreased focus on the “New X-Men” cast, "Divided We Stand" still feels largely skippable except for hardcore mutant completists.
X-Men: Legacy #210
May 5th, 2008 | By James Hunt
"X-Men: Legacy" emerges as perhaps the most focused of the post-Messiah Complex X-titles. Greg Land occupies the guest-art slot as Carey wraps up the redefinition of the title as a Professor Xavier solo-title.
Ultimate Fantastic Four #53
April 25th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The weakest title of the Ultimate line continues to falter.
X-Men: Divided We Stand #1
April 20th, 2008 | By James Hunt
A heavy focus on the cast of "New X-Men" means this “Divided We Stand” tie-in often feels underwhelming, though a mix of genuine established and rising talent saves it from complete mediocrity.
X-Men: Legacy #209
March 29th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Carey continues his unique take on the X-Men, aimed at mainstay fans of the franchise. Tan and Eaton handle the art nicely as a disorientated Xavier wakes up in the hands of the Acolytes. X-Men: Legacy is off to a slow but intriguing start.
