It’s a recurring theme throughout contemporary X-Men comics.
Magneto was right.
For years, it was just a cynical observation. But lately, Magneto being right hits a bit harder. It’s no longer just a popular meme or a dramatic moment in X-Men 97. It offers powerful insights into the real world. And those insights are worth heeding.

In this entry of Jack’s Comic Gems, I highlight All-New Wolverine: Enemy of the State II. This spiritual successor to the acclaimed Enemy of the State arc in a previous Wolverine series makes Laura Kinney a target among heroes, villains, and hated rivals alike. It pushes her in ways she’s never been pushed before. But it ends leaving little doubt that she deserves the title of Wolverine. Enjoy!

Dynamite Entertainment has dug deep into early 90s nostalgia and brought back Captain Planet in the form of a new comic with a much grittier tone. I didn’t know what to make of the news when it first came out. I wasn’t planning on checking it out, either. But I decided to give it a try. And while it did exceed my expectations, it always just felt…weird. But it’s a good kind of weird.
And in this video, I try to explore that feeling. Enjoy!

In this video, I give my review and reaction to Ultimate Wolverine #1. The announcement for this series reinvigorated my interest in the new Ultimate Universe. And while this issue did have a few concerning moments, it still delivered in some major ways that have major implications for the future of the Ultimate Universe.

In an era where there’s a glut reboots and relaunches, there are some that are worth giving a chance more than others. And recently, Image Comics gave Witchblade, an influential series from the mid-1990s, a full revamp. This series has not been relevant in a long time.
But after checking out the first issue, I’m convinced. This is one reboot we should embrace.

This video explores the inherent dangers and genuine hopes of artificial intelligence through one of my favorite video game franchises of all time, Mass Effect.
Artificial Intelligence is a big part of this galaxy-spanning saga. The main antagonists, the Reapers, represent a worst-case scenario. The synthetic race, the Geth, are also a recurring danger. However, in exploring the vast history and lore of Mass Effect, we gain some remarkable insights into what the future might hold for how we navigate AI. Enjoy!

This video is my full review of Ultimate Black Panther #3 by Bryan Hill and Stefano Casalli. War is raging between Wakanda and the forces of Khonshu and Ra. The order the Maker created is seeking to preserve its power and even strengthen it.
But fighting this war means uncovering buried secrets. That leads T’Challa to team up with Killmonger and Storm to find out just what the Maker’s Council is after. Enjoy!

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.
This video is my review of Ultimate X-Men #2. After this newly rebooted Ultimate Universe delivered so many amazing first issues, Ultimate X-Men really disappointed. It was one of the most underwhelming comics I’ve read in a long time, lacking anything that would make it an appealing X-Men comic, let alone an Ultimate comic on par with what others have done.
My review of the first issue earned quite a bit of flak. But I always intended to review the second issue. I don’t let one bad issue define a series. And while this second issue was an improvement over the first, it was still lacking.
