Amazing Spider-Man # 92, Amazing Adventures # 12-14, Marvel Team-Up # 4, Avengers # 103-104, Amazing Adventures # 15-16, Avengers # 110-111, Secret Empire trade, Marvel Team-Up # 23, and Defenders # 15-16.
Well, well, well . . . here we are. X-Men comics that aren't really X-Men comics. I wasn't, unfortuantely, able to complete the entire "continunity gap," but I did fairly well and picked up the key books.
It's all pretty good, for the most part. The Sentinels come back, the Beast mutates into his gray-then-blue ape form, Spider-Man and Iceman (then Iceman and Human Torch) have an adventure, Magneto strikes twice, and Mutants begin to vanish.
The Beast stories are actually the worse, at they tend to drag in certain parts and are a little incoherent. Magneto (once more) tries to build himself a Mutant army. The Secret Empire story (which is really a subplot throughout all of these books save the last three) is pretty good and luckily covers the missing issues.
Beyond all of this, I'm ready for the new era of the X-Men. Giant-Sized X-Men # 1 (plus Classic X-Men # 1 and Giant-Sized X-Men # 3) is waiting in the wings. I'm assuming that the "secret mission" Professor Xavier sends the X-Men on is the one to Karoka.
Countdown is on . . .
