In the last edition of Standard Deviations, we took a look at a set of variant covers for Marvel’s House of M series released in 2005. The Scarlet Witch was a central figure in that series as she will be in this year’s Avengers versus X-Men. Also central to AvX is Hope Summers, the first

Drawing together four different titles and running weekly, I couldn’t wait for each installment to arrive. I even started going to the nearest campus

DOCTOR WHO: PRISONERS OF TIME #5 – I’ve been critical of this series’ pacing with each issue

X-Sanction didn’t do as much to set things up as we’d expected, but Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness’ story
