Imagination Centre Reviews Amazing X-Men, Cataclysm, Detective Comics, Forever Evil & More

Somehow I not only got over a week ahead with scheduled posts, but also behind on review posts. So this post will be different than usual instead of posting the actual snippets from the reviews I will only have a link to them. With that said here are the links to the Guest Reviews by John McCubbin from Imagination Centre for Marvel's Amazing X-Men #1, Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand #1, Detective Comics #25, Forever Evil #3, Batman #25, Avengers #23, Harley Quinn #0, Infinity #6, and New Avengers #12. I have also added my rating after each review. If you have any questions about my rating or want to discuss anything just leave me a comment.

See the Review Rating Overview page for more information on how I rate each comic.

Amazing X-Men #1 - The Quest For Nightcrawler Part 1 of 5

An AMAZING new era for the X-Men starts here! Ever since his Nightcrawler's death in X-MEN MESSIAH COMPLEX, the X-Men have been without their heart and soul. After learning that their friend may not be gone after all, it's up to WOLVERINE, STORM, BEAST, ICEMAN, NORTHSTAR and FIRESTAR to find and bring back the fan favorite fuzzy blue elf! Super star artist ED MCGUINNESS (HULK) joins master X-Writer JASON AARON (WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN, X-MEN: SCHISM) to bring you the most exciting comic on the stands!
