    I know I should save this for the end, but I'm seriously confused. The X-Men stop the villain, "Lucifer", from detonating a bomb that would devastate the earth, and then they just let him go. SERIOUSLY!?! He almost ended life on the planet, but he gets a slap on the wrist? What the fuck? No, it's ok... you apparently caused Professor X's crippled condition almost killed millions of not billions of people, but you can walk away. Dumb.

    Homo-sapien: 0

    Homo-superior: 0

    The only good thing about this book is that they didn't say homo-sapien or superior even once.

    Surprisingly, the X-Men held their own against the Avengers, but they were admittedly holding back. This whole book is a bunch of WTF. Why did they have to show the trip on a cruise ship, it didn't add anything to the story. Then the Avengers harass a simple motorist, no real good reason behind that one either.

    The whole book was supposed to be about Professor X confronting his attacker, but we didn't see any of the history. How did it happen? What came off it? I went into this book with a ton of questions, being that they have been teasing this story for two books, and they didn't answer a single one. I should have just skipped over this one, without reading it, I would have had a much better day.

    Final Thought: So the Prof encountered a villain named "Lucifer" and he turned out to be a pansy... seriously? Lucifer should be a HUGE BIG BAD, not a wimpy villain of the week.

    TLDR: Iceman stared down Thor, Lucifer is a pussy and the Beast can catch Captain America's shield?

      Lucifer the underwhelming 0

      The X-Men #9 - Enter, the Avengers! by byzantine on August 02, 2010

      Over at the letter pages of the X-Men, readers are increasingly complaining that the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has been overused. Stan has promised readers a new villain to rival the likes of Dr. Doom. Well, Lucifer is introduced this issue and doesn't really match the hype.   The issue has a promising start. A speeding super-liner is about to collide with an iceberg in the fog-filled waters of the North Atlantic. A Titanic-like scenario. Then twin energy beams strike the iceberg and smash to ...

      The issue opens in the North Atlantic where "A dangerous iceberg suddenly drifts into the path of a speeding super-liner", "But then, seconds before the fatal impact, a blinding, shattering, mysterious twin-beam shoots out, blasting the mighty iceberg into harmless fragments!!"; yes, you guessed it, the X-Men are aboard the ocean liner, and Cyclops has pulverized this quick-moving ice mountain with his eye beams.Fortunately, nobody saw this, and as he (dressed as Scott Summers) collapses on deck...
