Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace #2

  • THE (IN)FAMOUS X-MAN! Now that Kamala is very notably and very publicly an X-Man, she is attracting all sorts of attention…and you know who uses attention as currency? That's right — it's the return of the X-Men's old media mogul mastermind — MOJO!

Resurrection of Magneto #4

  • RETURN OF THE KING! The Master of Magnetism has returned to the world… but it is not the world he left. Nor is Magneto the same man who left it. Has death changed him for the better, or for the worse? And when he sees what ORCHIS has done to mutantkind… will it change him again?

X-Men '97 #2

  • SABRETOOTH STRIKES! …and he's not the only threat the X-Men are facing!

This was a fun one, enjoyed the interactions and the pot-shot at A.I writers

The Lila song being the same one from Uncanny Spider-Man #3 was a nice touch. Excited for Red Dagger next issue.

Very fun issue always like a good mojo related issue and Lila and kamala have very fun chemistry in this issue and i would love more of this. The whole thing of kamala post her being made a mutant is her trying to be someone different to who she actually is so her getting a rockstar makeover and being put in a situation that doesn't work for her is very funny and well done.

Also all the tv show and movie references with kamala are so good breaking bad, bake off there is so much variety.

Mojo using AI is a good potshot and red dagger turning up at the end is a great classic kamala character.

Very fun issue

Kamala Khan slime ASMR is not something I was expecting to see.

I thought maybe the whole mini would be sticking around with Mojo and Lila but it was a fun adventure told in one issue. And now Red Dagger.

We'll probably never now but I would love to know how much of the writing is Vellani and how much is Pirzada because I'm really liking this and the previous mini and hope for more.

after this issue I wouldn't mind if this book committed to just being a comedy book, even if it's currently still technically tied in with the Fall of X stuff. some lines in this had me absolutely rolling.

Chord for Prez indeed. Not gonna lie, that look kinda works on Kamala. Among the all doom and gloom, this was a fun trip with Lila, though she should've been smarter than doing business with Mojo, of all people. And I am surprised Mojo is using AI writers. I mean I can see Dario Agger in Immortal Thor doing it but Mojo is too hands-on to leave anything to AI. And I was kinda hoping Mojo going after Orchis since they were trying to kill the mutants and therefore, kill his ratings.

Lila stuck with her fans for a while, that will get old real fast for her, I can see it.

And Red Dagger shows up. Wonder for what. I still support my boy Bruno though.
