It’s Darkseid’s turn in our Thanos vs. Darkseid competition as we read “JLA: Rock of Ages” by Grant Morrison. This Justice League “classic” from the 90’s flings some of our favorite heroes all over the time stream and lands them in a dystopian future where Darkseid has conquered the earth. But hey, it’s not easy writing a book full of so many characters and just tossing in more Deus ex Machina machines than you can shake a stick at won’t solve the problem even though old superheroes are the best superheroes.

We bring our X-Men arc to the current age in comics by reading “New X-Men, Vol.1” by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. In this story, a mutant/spirit thing/space entity tried to obliterate all life on Earth. Or maybe just Professor X because he tried to kill it in the womb. But hey, what happens between two fetuses can’t be judged. Is this starting to weird for you? Yeah, us too. Thanks, Mr. Morrison!
