Some cool.corporate espionage happens with x-corps, then they try again to make me care about Excalibur, who is tangential to this crossover at best!

[a:Tini Howard|14205385|Tini Howard|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1573146594p2/14205385.jpg]'s X-Corps #5 continues to be a highlight reel of how to tell an interesting X-story without just retelling something from the Claremont era. There's lots of fun character developments and silly mutant power moments (Mastermind trapping a villain in the moment he was falling to his death, and letting him think he's still falling until he loses interest). This series is a joy.
Four stars.
Marauders #24 and #25 continues to be a fun little adventure book, as the pirates deal with space silliness, including an interstellar villain whose ship Emma Frost stole, and who the X-Men are still using, even on this mission. It's a solid romp.
Four stars.
X-Force #23 and #24 mostly team Beast and Black Tom in an Inner Space homage (not quite good enough to be a Fantastic Voyage montage) that serves more as a way to measure Beast's decline in sanity and morality than anything else.
Three stars.
Excalibur #24 completely lost my interest, as usual. This section of the Krakoan books is so dull. I can't wait for this series to disappear.
Two stars.
