Friendships will be tested and new partnerships formed as Once Upon a Time in Wonderland sets the stage for the next week’s series finale (ABC had deciding against bringing back the spin-off or a Second Season). The Red Queen (Emma Rigby) is dead, but Jafar (Naveen Andrews) offers the Knave (Michael Socha) a chance to bring her back to life – if the genie can get his hands on the sorcerer’s missing staff and help him change the laws of magic. Betraying Alice (Sophie Lowe) and Cyrus (Peter Gadiot) to get his hands on the staff, the former thief eventually relents and agrees to help Alice and Cyrus put an end to Jafar.

Uncanny X-Men #19.NOW

/ / Comics

Uncanny X-Men #19.NOWWhile Cyclops and his team head out into the field to find a new mutant, Hijack gets a visit from S.H.I.E.L.D. who is ready to charge the mutant as a terrorist unless he provides information about Cyclops and the location of his team.

It turns out Hijack isn’t the only one in trouble as Cyclops and his team walk into a well-designed trap involving killer Sentinels and a power-dampening field that nearly gets them all killed. The group is only saved thanks to Magik‘s showcasing what Doctor Strange has been teaching her in the past.

Although highlighted by some fun small comedic moments (such as Goldballs discovering his powers work again) Uncanny X-Men #19.NOW is certainly one of the darker issues of the series so far (which is saying something for a comic that gave us a multi-issue arc in a Hell dimension). In that same vein, the latest issue also touches on events in Madripoor answering a couple of lingering questions concerning the fate of the real Dazzler and the source of Mystique‘s mutant growth hormone. Worth a look.

[Marvel, $3.99]
