OUT THIS WEEK: X-Factor #16, Fallen Angel #13, Wonder Man #3, 1602: FF #5

And that’s not even counting the newest “Fallen Angel” trade from IDW. So…whad’ja think?

By the way, just to forestall the inevitable question: An entire dialogue exchange was dropped/changed in XF #16, rendering a reference to a famous film rather obscure. It will be fixed in the trade. Here’s how the bit originally went, picking up midway through page 6 in a scene set just outside a Paris jail:

PANEL C: Same angle as the wall is smashed open, bricks and mortar flying everywhere.

PANEL D: Monet steps through the sizable hole.

PANEL E: Monet stops and looks as a red balloon floats past. Siryn is visible behind her.

MONET 5: Hunh.

SIRYN 6: What?

MONET 7: Just thinking how much I hated that movie.

SIRYN 8: What movie?

PAGE 7

PANEL A: Suddenly the balloon explodes. Monet and Siryn both look startled.

Sfx: BLAAAM

PANEL B: The tattered remains of the balloon flutter to the ground. Monet is looking at the tattered remains; Siryn is looking straight ahead, reacting.

MONET 1: Never mind. It’s moot now.

OFF PANEL 2: Don’t move!
