I cover a lot of different titles, with some particular attention to the previous runs of "Spider-Man 2099" and "Nova." Welcome back, Richard! Until next time, Miguel.

Wolverine and the X-Men #27.AU (HERE BE SPOILERS!)
This issue gives a little more insight into Logan and Sue's journey from Antarctica to New York to stop Hank Pym from creating Ultron, as seen in "Age of Ultron" #6. It's reminiscent of "Wolverine and the X-Men" #11, where we got similar insight into Logan and Hope's journey from Antarctica to the Moon (as depicted in "Avengers vs. X-Men" #4). Unfortunately, it's not quite as good as that issue. Logan randomly gets all humanitarian, deciding to rescue a Brood hatchling but unwittingly helping the Brood adapt to his powers. Most bizarrely, Sue decides to warn Reed that S.H.I.E.L.D. is watching him, but, curiously, neglects to warn him about Ultron. After all, if she and Logan fail, wouldn't it make sense to let past Reed know what Hank's doing and why it's important to stop him? Right there, you have a great example of the problem with time-travel stories, since it's usually hard to argue that the actions that the characters take are the ones that make the most sense. Man, this event is going downhill quickly.
