A+X #1

A Plus X (2012 Marvel Now) 1A


Unfortunately this book is exactly what I thought it would be.

First up, we have Dan Slott and Ron Garney's Captain America and Cable story. While it was a fun little story, it seemed to be no more than a back up for an untold tales of the Marvel universe.  Slott makes an admirable attempt, but at ten pages, there isn't a whole lot that can go into a story. There is no attempt at an explanation of why the villain was time traveling in the first place. No motivation I guess. Seeing Cable and Cap team up was fun but ultimately pointless. It did have some great art by Ron Garney though.

The second story, by Jeph Loeb and Dale Keown, begins with Hulk and Wolverine fighting. Over a piece of cake. No that is not autocorrect or a misspelling. They fight over cake. Then future version of the two show up and fight their younger selves. And that's it. If any more needs to be written about that then I don't know what to tell you. It was nice seeing Keown draw Hulk again I guess.

At $3.99 this book failed. Big time
