Midnight X-Men #1. You think you know about X-Men & Vampires from What If's and Mutant X issues. Then here comes Hickman to kick that table over. Prepare for Cardinal Stryker & Bishop Wagner. Wait until you see Mutant & Empyre factions. This one has layers (of course it does) #OneMinuteBadReviews

MASK #5. Miles Mayhem has lived up to his name in New Orleans forcing Matt & Dusty there to stop an out of control Hawks. Meanwhile. Miles has his sights set on Matt's son in Upstate NY. However, him and VENOM REALLY don't know who they are f'n with. This is a different Scott #OneMinuteBadReviews

Midnight Fantastic Four 1. Due to unauthorized use of equipment/experiments which left someone near death, Reed Richards has been incarcerated. Sue Storm has freed him to work for her not knowing the extent to which he is obsessed with "something" & I thought The Maker was bad #OneMinuteBadReviews

JSA #24. Wildcat, Hourman & Dr. Mid-Nite have parachuted into Russian territory during the 50's to rescue The Atom from behind enemy lines. However, the Russians have created the first generation of their Rocket Red program & this provides the PERFECT test for their machine #OneMinuteBadReviews

Star Trek Holo-Ween II 1. Deep Space Nine is about to hold a galactic diplomatic summit. And as we all know, DS9 isn't the calmest place to do ANYTHING! So, it a PERFECT time for a certain room to go haywire & take out a trusted member of the crew. That only begins this ride #OneMinuteBadReviews

DC Quoth The Raven... Whatever 1. Just in time for Halloween, 7 stories of the supernatural & spooky from DC. This features Raven, Constantine, Deadman, Gotham Academy, Dr & Traci 13, Superboy-Prime, Witchfire, Catwoman, Swamp Thing, Zatanna & a prequel to the upcoming Vixen run #OneMinuteBadReviews

#OneMinuteBadReviews continues with Midnight Spider-Man 1. Peter Parker eager to do the right thing and help out his Uncle Ben gets an offer he cannot refuse. Unfortunately, that offer comes from Felicia Hardy on behalf of OsCorp, who despite Ben's warnings, Peter believes he can "fix" from inside.

X-Men United 7 welcomes back Wither to the family and he has BLADE in tow needing help. Yeah. This won't be a problem. At all. Anywhoo, one X-Man still has a problem with Blade from that "vampires take over Earth" thing (guess who). Two histories are about to clash VIOLENTLY #OneMinuteBadReviews

X-Men 38. As the events of X-Men 36/DnX #1-2 are happening outside, Magneto is on the inside of the Psychic Plane talking to a good friend. If you haven't been following Erik/Max for the last 5-7 years, & have came to this event through Fantastic Four? This is a great refresher #OneMinuteBadReviews

Marvel MangaVerse Web of Destiny 1. This all started with 3 friends, Laura, Illyana and Miles trying to stop a dark future which left them divided & one corrupted by that power. This chaos can only end with the rejoining of the 3. Unfortunately, this will not be all kumbaya #OneMinuteBadReviews

Alien vs X-Men 1. Prepare yourselves for a VERY different end to Here Comes Tomorrow. The X-Men defeat Sinister but find very different eggs from the Phoenix Egg. Bad news for everyone: @kierongillen.bsky.social has definitely WildC.A.T.S vs Alien. Also, Kat meets a Brood Queen #OneMinuteBadReviews

Predator vs The Planet of the Apes 3. Keep your friends close & your enemies closer. BUT what if everyone is an enemy? Arch finds herself in the midst of an Ape Civil War with a Yautja thrown in. Can you really trust a Predator? And it goes without saying that this begins chaos #OneMinuteBadReviews

DnX 2. While Reed, Sue, Ben Liu & Hank continue to try and heal Magneto, the Alaskan & 3K X-Men have an all-out clash in Philadelphia. This gives Scott a chance to finally confront The Chairman & stop him. One problem: he's a McCoy & they ALWAYS think they are the smartest. #OneMinuteBadReviews

Godzilla Conquers The Multiverse 3. Well, the Avengers of Doom meant well. Unfortunately, Knull was ready for them. Only Miles escaped but he landed with the AVENGERS ONE MILLION B.C.. What is a Spider to do? Well, Odin has a plan to help Spidey. Can u say Godzilla's "partner"? #OneMinuteBadReviews

Uncanny X-Men 36. Rogue, Father Gabriel & Repent take Gambit to a place called the Iron Cathedral to rid him of Agamotto's demonic possession. That sounds good. Meanwhile, the team at Haven House infiltrate the facility to get payback for Howler & free mutants but hit a BIG snag #OneMinuteBadReviews

Ultimate Impact Reborn 5 sees the new origin box heroes (save one. we'll get to him in a minute) along with Spider-Man, Iron Man & Captain America battling Hostilicus on a stolen Heli-Carrier. Hosty is looking to open a portal to the Negative Zone. GL Wonder Man & Sightseer #OneMinuteBadReviews

Tomb of Apocalypse 2 picks up on the recent Heir of Apocalypse series as Jubilee runs across Rictor & Shatterstar. Again, in the X-Universe, this is usually a fight before words. As that goes on, there's a lot of mercenaries prowling around & that suits Wolverine just fine #OneMinuteBadReviews

Amazing Spider-Man 1000 has a main story and 6 mini ones. The main introduces a "new" villain for Spidey at the "worst" time of his life. I know. Usual Spidey fare. The difference is that THIS one, Ravage, is family & hits him where it hurts. The Shorts for me are the star Tears #OneMinuteBadReviews

Quick thoughts on the Midnight Books

Loved X-Men. Leave it to Hickman to throw in 2-3 twists that coincide with the vampire motif

Liked Fantastic Four. @benjaminpercy.bsky.social took the FF origin mythos and turned them on its ear

Spidey was OK. I got faith in Johnson though #OneMinuteBadReviews

Three Quick #NCBD Points b4 I do #OneMinuteBadReviews on the weekend

Amazing Spider-Man #1000 wasn't that bad. Definitely agree with the thought it did need a woman writer in the short stories

DnX #2: Some folks owe @jedmackay.bsky.social an apology. He told you that Juggernaut issue was a must
