Uncanny X-Men #13

/ / Comics

A new four-part arc kicks off in Uncanny X-Men involving both the Outliers and flashbacks to a mutant in the pre-Civil Rights era named Henrietta Benjamin who travels from Chicago down south to Louisiana. While both are interesting, and very much separate, it’s a bit unclear how to stories fit together yet. However, they do involve Haven House and the bizarre tomb known as the Artery which Deathdream leads his friends to in the middle of the swamp (where they also encounter another familiar face). Somehow, I’m guessing Henrietta’s fate will play a role in where the Outliers go from here.

Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1

A follow-up to Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, a new mini-series kicks off with Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 setting the two heroes (who are struggling with their swapped powers) in New Kooey. Most of the issue involves showcasing the town and Ice struggling with not understanding her new more destructive fire powers. Fire seems a bit more in control but at a loss on what to do with her new ice-based powers.

Batgirl #6

/ / Comics

Wrapping up the title’s opening arc, Batgirl #6 reveals all of the trouble Shiva and Batgirl are having with the Unburied was caused by Shiva herself. As the pair escape, thanks to something Cassandra learned from Batman, the conflict within Batgirl towards her mother continues. At one point we even get Cassandra Cain washing her hand of Shiva, although the latter’s sacrifice to end the issue (and the tease of what is coming starting next month) suggests the two aren’t done with each other just yet.

Secret Six #2

/ / Comics

Secret Six #2 is your basic longtime staple of comics in which the “heroes” have a run-in and fight and then decide to work together. With the previous issue dropping Jon Kent, Gossamer, and Dreamer at the House of Secrets in a cliffhanger ending, issue #2 is really just about pitting that trio against Black Alice, Deadshot, and Catman. During the various fights we learn that both Deadshot and Dreamer want to find the missing Amanda Waller (who may be with Checkmate now?), but for vastly different reasons.
