Recent reports have been surfacing on Reddit and Twitter that the Apple Watch has been malfunctioning for those with tattoos, leaving inked users unable to receive notifications, place calls, and use Apple Pay and other apps.

The issue, now dubbed "Tattoogate," stems from the interference of the ink pigmentation with the sensor's ability to read your heart rate. The high-end watch needs this sensor to assess if the user is wearing the watch; according to Apple, the Watch's green and infrared light is either absorbed or reflected through your skin, allowing it to read your heart rate.

"So I thought my shiny new 42mm SS watch had a bad wrist detector sensor," wrote Reddit user guinne55fan on Tuesday, receiving over 700 upvotes and 300 comments. "The watch would lock up every time the screen went dark and prompted me for my password. I wouldn't receive notifications. I couldn't figure out why especially since the watch was definitely not losing contact with my skin."

With a full sleeve tattoo on his left arm, he tried holding the Watch against his hand and it began to work. However, once he put it back on the area that is tattooed with black ink, the watch automatically locked.

YouTube user Michael Lovell also experienced similar issues, which he demonstrated on both his tattooed and non-tattooed arms.


The Apple blog iMore followed up with a report confirming the issue, and after conducting their own series of tests, they found that dark, solid colors are responsible for the most heart rate misreadings (196 BPM before failing to read entirely). Lighter tattoo colors produced slightly elevated heart rate misreads but did not appear to interfere with the Watch's ability to register skin contact.

For those with issues with the Watch's sensors, you can turn off the Wrist Detection on the Apple Watch app to avoid auto-locking, although this will also disable Apple Pay.

It is important to note that the Apple Watch works fine with dark-colored skin and scars, and Apple offers a 14-day return policy.

Amazing X-Men #19 cover by Jorge Fornes and Rachelle Rosenberg

"The Once and Future Juggernaut" (Epilogue)

Cain Marko is once more the Unstoppable Juggernaut. It is time to test the mettle of the X-Men again, as Juggernaut lines up a showdown with Colossus while holding the rest of the X-Men responsible for the death of his brother, Charles Xavier.

This is a great final issue for the series. We get some humor, some fighting, and nice character-entered writing to cap the arc off. To match this, the art brings a feeling of completeness.

Jorge Forne's art in the opening pages is a brilliant and succinct summary of the sordid story of the Juggernaut. In just a few pages, it helps to bring new or long-time readers up to speed with what has happened between the X-Men and this nemesis over the past few decades. The page detail here and the layout work are worth particular note, as they intertwine four different story points of view at the beginning into one by the summary page's end.

The stylized layout is also very effective at making the pages stand out from the rest of the issue. Following the outcome from the previous issue, we see a great transition in the final page of this opening; we see a page ripped to shreds and are brought back into the present struggle between the Juggernaut and Colossus.

The art from Fornes has matured so much in the course of this story arc. While it is was a definitive contrast from the issues prior to his run, it has really sat well in the pages of Amazing X-Men. Fornes has provided a playful edge to his character depictions, using a not-so-subtle range of facial expressions to bring the story out of the characters. I wasn't familiar with Fornes's work prior to this series but will keep an eye out for it in the future. This has been a good platform for him to flex his artistic talent.

And so the story begins...	Meet the main players.

Rachelle Rosenberg's colors have been consistent and thorough from the first issue to the last. During the colorist's time with this series, a dazzling sense of adventure has permeated each issue. Rosenberg has also adapted well to the different artists who have worked on the series and brought an emotional weight to the various stories presented each month.

Rosenberg's talent was extremely apparent in her work with Ed McGuinnes and Jason Aaron on the return of Nightcrawler. Her colors on the scenes of the afterlife were brilliant. This was again evident on the Anole-focused issue #13, which was one of the series' best standalone stories. I dare to say that if not for Rosenberg's colors the series would not have been as much fun and would have lost a good sense of artistic representation.

Death and destruction follow the Ruby of Cyttorak.	Fornes' great art brings readers up to speed on Juggernaut's story.

Christopher Yost brings the "Once and Future Juggernaut" story arc to a pleasant close in this issue. With much of the action and suspense unleashed in the previous issue, Yost takes his time bringing the series to an end. We get some nice resolution for Colossus in this issue; he offers sentiments in the closing pages concerning the X-Men's plight of always facing certain evil and a tide neverending bad guys that can be translated in a wider sense to Marvel's mutant lineup. Rather than lose hope, Colossus comes to realize that he must make the best of the situation and just keep going.

Over the two arcs that Yost has been involved with, we have seen a distinct change in style in the series. This has helped fill a lack of cross-audience appeal that may have been an issue in some of the other X-Men titles. There was a good deal of fun and silliness that was always a welcome experience each month, and hopefully this can be retained in some of the upcoming books slated for the upcoming "Secret Wars" titles involving the X-Men.

The Juggernaut is back for revenge on the X-Men

This is the last of the Amazing X-Men as "Secret Wars" makes its presence felt throughout the Marvel publishing line. The series started strong with a top-tier creative team and has continued in very capable hands. The experience has been mostly smooth from start to finish, and the series fulfilled its mission statement. These were amazing stories that didn't fit into any other X-Men franchise books; we have seen characters not normally attributed much of the limelight come to the fore and get to have some fun along the way, and we were certainly entertained in the process!

Just like that, we are all done with what has been a neat story in Amazing X-Men #19, but we would like to hear what you thought about this issue and arc or the series as a whole. Make sure you leave a comment below or on our Facebook or Twitter and come back to Fanboys for more comic reviews and news.

All-New X-Men #40 cover by Sorrentino and Beredo

With the recent announcement of Marvel's lead X-Men writer leaving the titles around the time that "Secret Wars" hits the shelves, it seems Brian Michael Bendis is going to go out in style and leave a lasting impression.

With issue #40 of All-New X-Men, we get to see the team of time-displaced original X-Men back to together on Earth. They are curious about what has happened while they have been away, but that is not a focus of this issue. It is nice to see Cyclops back among the team, and this issue aims to quickly move forward the development of the main characters.

The story came across has heartfelt, with endearing moments throughout. Any criticism of Bendis regarding the outing of Bobby Drake, a.k.a Iceman, is ridiculous. As far as fictional characters go that was a tender moment, well executed and sure to have lasting consequences. This mirrored the pages dealing with Angel and his newfound lease on life. The honesty from the story as the young time-displaced X-Men feel the need to assert not only control but also meaning over their lives has a genuineness that is rare to feel in comics.

The issue is full of twists and turns. It was a great read start to finish. The usual humor, with little quips among the team coming in a free-flowing manner, was ever present. Although Bendis brings the characters' usual voices to the piece, controversy has arisen as some fans feel that Iceman is being forced to come out. Despite this, the ultimate judge of character rests on one individual: you, dear reader. If you don't like something, don't buy it.

Surely this is a good idea...

The best thing to do is check it out for yourself and let your opinion be formed by what you see with your own two eyes. This review or any other on the Internet's various forms of social media cannot tell you what to like or how to react, only you can decide what you feel. Bendis has been striving to get this message across throughout his narrative in the All-New X-Men—that we are responsible for our own actions and behavior.

Moving to the end of the issue, we begin to see a group of mutants still residing on the former island refuge of Utopia. They quickly dispatch any potential threat to their home and safety, though it is clear as we end the issue that there is much more story to be told about this group. Reflecting on the cover, the art by Andrea Sorrentino and Rain Beredo is wonderful. The color is dazzling, making the whole image feel special.

The Utopians mean business.

Internally, the art is just as on point. Mahmud Asrar continues to show why he was chosen one of Marvel's "Young Guns" last year. Asrar's depiction of the world of the All-New X- Men has a great sense of cohesiveness with the artists who worked on the title prior to him but also exhibits a distinction all its own. It was great to see the tender moments mentioned above play out so well under Asrar's hand. The depth of storytelling penned by Bendis is given emotional life in the panels from Asrar.

The gang are back together!

With the end of the series imminent, there is a sense of sadness about it, but this issue brings so a dynamic approach that it also feels like an exciting time to be reading the series. There is a good deal of continuity necessary to help readers understand what is happening around this issue, but it is a great read to see just how characterization can take place in comics.

As we near the end of the series, we want to know what you think about All-New X-Men #40 or the series at large. Did you like Bendis's approach to Iceman and Angel in this issue? What do you hope to see in the final issues? What are your thoughts about the Utopians? Tell us below or head over to the Fanboys Anonymous Facebook or Twitter and leave a comment.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is the much-anticipated sequel to 2012's billion-dollar smash The Avengers. The movie brings back our favorite cast, consisting of Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man, Chris Evans's Captain America, Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye, Colbie Smulders as Maria Hill, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. It also introduces Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Pietro/Quicksilver, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as The Vision, and James Spader as the villainous robot Ultron. The plot revolves around the rise of the titular robot as he tears apart The Avengers and wreaks havoc across the world. The Avengers, along with new members, must team up to save the day.

The time has come!

Joss Whedon and company give us fast-paced superhero action that will immediately bring a smile to any comic book geek's face. Audiences will get sucked in as The Avengers face off against remaining HYDRA forces still active in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a recurring antagonist seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as well as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The playful banter and quotable, laugh-out-loud lines between the cast members, particularly Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) show how these beloved heroes have now effectively transitioned into a well-oiled machine that routinely performs the take-down raids on HYDRA. Personally I would like to see this kind of team dynamic in more films in this genre, like, say, the future Power Rangers movie? Pretty please?

Now that's a team!

We then finally see the on-screen debut of the Maximoff twins, Pietro and Wanda. First created in the comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the 1960s, they were initially presented as mutants and the children of famed X-men villain Magneto. Here, their backgrounds have been vastly reimagined for the MCU's take on things. Just like in the comics, they were presented as villains who wanted revenge on The Avengers for their past actions; later on they learn what is the right thing to do and become heroes. Their character arcs in the movie took interesting turns, and some would say that what they've done with the Maximoffs is a way of conveying to the audience that Marvel can be a little serious when it comes to the super-heroic deeds of its characters.

The new kids on the block

James Spader as the titular villain Ultron brings to the table a psychotic and mentally unstable robot and essentially challenged my own preconceived notion about the character. Initially I believed that Ultron is an autonomous being much in the same vein as Skynet from The Terminator franchise, except with a body to walk around in. This was seen in some adaptations of the character, such as the short-lived beloved animated series The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Whedon's Ultron was a bit different, though. Spader shows a character that is both funny and merciless at times. Loki's arc was built up across two films and is still continuing today, and sadly we did not get that kind of buildup in Phase 2. However, I have a strong feeling that Ultron's actions among our heroes will create strong consequences leading into Captain America: Civil War and beyond, particularly considering that Ultron was Tony Stark's creation.

There are no strings on me!

Another new introduction to The Avengers is none other than Paul Bettany's android superhero The Vision. It was rather interesting watching the scenes between JARVIS, The Vision, and Ultron play out. It gave some commentary on what an outsider would see in humanity and whether or not we are making the right decisions. I wonder if The Vision will have these same thoughts when it's time to pick a side much later on. Audiences will also enjoy his scenes when he brings his own humor to the table as his fair share of action.

Hulk & Widow?!

The sudden relationship between Black Widow and the Hulk was an interesting highlight. Scarlett Johansson has such a natural chemistry with most of the Avengers cast, usually with folks like Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man 2 and Chris Evans in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. A Hulk/Widow relationship isn't that unusual; Ruffalo and Johansson can pull it off and sell it to the audience, and it'll be worth watching to know what happens next here.

In the last movie, Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner, was unfairly shafted when Loki made him his servant for a good majority of the film. Awhile back it was said that Joss Whedon wanted to do something new with Hawkeye and flesh his character out. This was achieved in the film as we actually delve into Hawkeye's background and character. It was rather similar to how he was portrayed in the Marvel Comics reimagining of The Avengers in the book The Ultimates by Mark Millar. Audiences will walk away with respect for Barton and his character's motivations and will be entertained by his interactions with the Maximoff twins.

Hawkeye in action at last!

Like most of Phase 2 so far, the film is rather self-contained in nature. The beginning, middle, and end are clear cut, and events are wrapped up. However, in the back of my mind I know this is not the case, unlike Iron Man 3 or Thor: The Dark World. As I watched the final scenes with Tony and Steve, two characters who have clearly built up a great friendship, I can't help but wonder if this is the last happy moment that these characters will have before we have to pick a side for Civil War. Just like with the last film, the mid-credits scene (there's only one, really, there's absolutely nothing after) makes me wonder how everything will tie together.

The Big 3!

Overall, The Avengers: Age of Ultron is a marvelous sequel that builds upon the events of the MCU with great action scenes and dialogue. Interesting turns were taken as moments transpired. The seeds were clearly planted for a civil war much later. Enjoy the peace while it lasts.

Grade: A+

So were you lucky enough to see this marvelous sequel? Let us know your thoughts below!

It's a good time to be a Marvel fan. Daredevil premiered on Netflix and was as awesome as anyone could've hoped it would be, Avengers: Age of Ultron will be released in the United States next week, and there has been a ton of Marvel-related news lately. Yet this is probably the most unexpected announcement: Telltale Games will be teaming up with Marvel Entertainment to release a new game series in 2017.

Probably the last partnership I would've expected.

That's right. Telltale Games, arguably the best developer of adapting established franchises into video game series, is taking on one of the biggest properties around. Sadly that is literally all that has been revealed though. There has been absolutely no hint of a story, possible characters involved, or how many episodes will be released. At least we know the game will be released in 2017!

Personally I loved both seasons of The Walking Dead, and the first season of Game of Thrones has been pretty excellent so far, but I'm really hoping that the Marvel game is not another point-and-click game. That style and the focus on great storytelling worked so well for the other franchises, but I can't see how it would work in a Marvel game. Obviously I hope the storytelling is great, but I'd love to see a lot more controllable action than we usually get in one of these games. The possibilities are endless, and it would be awesome to see Telltale go out of its comfort zone a little bit to create something truly special. However, despite any changes Telltale may or may not make to its usual game style, I do hope the cel shaded comic book look continues in this game. It would lend itself perfectly to a Marvel adaptation.

What do you guys think? Are you excited by this partnership, or do you think it's a bad idea? What would you like to see in a Marvel game from Telltale? Let us know in the comments!

Chrononauts #2 cover by Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth

"Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly have become the world's first time travelers—but not all goes according to plan when the two go rogue in their own era-hopping adventure! With the world watching, the buddies get mixed up in an eon's worth of sticky situations while some of history's scariest villains—and their bosses back in the present day—are determined to track them down."

The IMAGE preview caption above is certainly a nice summary of the second issue of this series from Mark Millar and Sean Murphy. This covers the breadth of the issue well enough that I came didn't feel surprised by the issue once read. There is some emotional resonance from the characters that comes to light, but this wasn't a revealing issue. Chrononauts picks up following the previous issue where the time-traveling central characters became seemingly stuck in the past. We were left wondering what the battle on the final page was about: Where were Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly in time? It was an okay way to end the first issue.

However, Chrononauts #2 was not at the same high point when compared with the first issue. The premise was set up well, the hook baited, and we laid in wait for issue #2 to roll around. However, we are presented with what is basically a couple of young men on a pubescent filled romp through time. There is so much more that could have been explored, yet Mark Millar has descended to a baser level of entertainment. I do hope this can pick up next issue. I will keep reading to see, hoping this is a real mini-series, rather than a maxi-series, as I may not be able to stretch that far if the quality of plot doesn't lift.

Back into the fray!	All the action is in the past

The story ultimately feels flat by the issue's end. The characters, who had such potential, have been revealed to be young men with a flaming ego or libido (probably both). There is certainly a lot of confidence coming through from Millar, but it may reflect more on the creator than it should on the story itself. There are interesting aspects to the story, for example, by examining what happens when someone abuses the possibility of time travel; however, considering this same theme is running through Marvel's All-New X-Men story at the moment, maybe the timing of this series is unfortunate.

One lingering question remains though. If the time-traversing scientists Quinn and Reilly are stuck in the past but have the ability to travel forward in time, why not go into the future also? There could be a good rationale for this, but it isn't addressed. Time travel is a difficult concept to pull of well. Pop-culture, in a modern sense has a lot of reference points and stories exploring this already, so for a writer to approach, it would seem obvious to consider the wider implications of the story dynamics.

Here comes the cavalry...	Back to the past and forward to the future!

The artwork continues in the same vein as the first issue. It has a scratchy, earthy quality to it that gives a sense of compatibility with the story. The collaboration between the creators is very apparent, but the artistic team of Sean Murphy on pencils and Matt Hollingsworth of colors is great to see. There were a couple of patchy pages, where the art seemed a little blurry or smudged, probably a printer issue but still a shame from an IMAGE publication, which has such a good track record lately.

Murphy's inking is great. The tone it provides is a real plus to the feel in the story. We get to see a nice showcase of period pieces as the story takes readers back and forth over the time-stream. Murphy, for the most part, adapts well to what is called for from the script when producing authentic-looking scenes and characters. The colors from Hollingsworth only serve to enhance this feeling.
The art has a quality to it that makes it very easy to read. This is a positive and may match an intention from the creators to have this not be a drudging heavy read, but more a light and relatively lively experience that is supposed to be fun. This can explain the mixed feeling I had about this issue and certainly would keep things going a little longer.

The capitol of Samarkand.	The victors return triumphant.

There are undoubtedly voices among the readership of this comic who may disagree with the thoughts above, but for anyone paying out their hard-earned cash to any comic, the ultimate say lies with you. If you love the issue and series so far, great, keep enjoying it. If you're on the other side of the equation, well, time will tell if there are bigger plans to be unveiled to get this series back on track

Greetings, Fanboys and Fangirls! This is Sam Lascio, bringing you the news we've all been waiting to hear: Marvel's Daredevil has been renewed for a second season on Netflix!

Marvel hasn't announced too many details at this time, but there are a few things we know for sure. Season 2 will premiere on Netflix in 2016 with Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez serving as the showrunners. Petrie and Ramirez worked closely with executive producers Steven S. DeKnight and Drew Goddard on season 1, and DeKnight stated:

While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on with Daredevil into its second season, I could not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch. They were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can't wait to see what they do with the show moving forward.

Petrie, Ramirez, Goddard, and Marvel's Jeph Loeb will serve as executive producers. Marvel's next Netflix series, A.K.A. Jessica Jones, will premiere later this year, with Luke Cage coming in 2016. Marvel also has Iron Fist and The Defenders coming to Netflix, with no word on if season 2 of Daredevil will come after The Defenders or sometime before it. Also, although not explicitly stated in the announcement, it's a safe bet that Charlie Cox and the other stars of Daredevil will return for the second season, hopefully along with some new faces.

What do you think of Marvel's announcement? Are you excited for Daredevil's second season? Are you upset that it won't be here until 2016? What villains do you hope to see in season 2? Let us know in the comments section! Thanks for reading, everyone! My name is Sam Lascio, and I am a Fanboy!

Magneto #17 cover by David Yardin

Magneto is an introspective exploration of a complex character that is a must-read.

This is some of the finest work coming out of Marvel and is the culmination of a lot of work from the creative team on the series.

This issue is so dark and gritty, the artwork so tense, and the coloring so moody that it takes more than one pass reading it to fully comprehend what a great comic this is. It almost seems a shame that the flow of this series will be cut short by "Secret Wars," but thank goodness we get to see more under the "Last Days" banner of the Marvel-wide event.

The strands that writer Cullen Bunn has unraveled throughout the series become apparent and are rolled back together in issue #17 of Magneto. In hindsight, Bunn is showing some keen mastery of the subplot context, laying out aspects of the character of Magneto that can be exploded for readers here. It is the subtly of this skill that is so very clever. Bunn's work is now paying off as we glimpse the shadowy figure that has been haunting Magneto in recent issues.

Young mutants are being killed on Magneto's island refuge of Genosha

Having reviewed the more recent offering of solo X-Men series that have been produced by Marvel, this stands out as the best of the lot. Whereas Storm certainly stands on its own and is a definitive version of the character, Cyclops was a hit and miss, and Nightcrawler had its fun moments but was lackluster, for Magneto the right creative team came together at the right time to produce a fantastic comic. This editorial team needs to be acknowledged for helping bring it all together.

As far as this story goes, without spoiling it, we get a glimpse of the nature of who Magneto is—a multifaceted character imbued with a history and back story that other characters in the Marvel Universe would be either envious of or squeamish at. It is the malleable nature of his character that drives this series in unexpected ways, providing some tantalizing plot twists and dramatic situations.

Hitzig rises from the grave to torment Magneto

As always, the art is just fantastic. The consistent quality is a high mark for the creative team; they are a match made in comic book heaven, with Gabriel Hernandez Walta on pencils and Jordie Bellaire on colors. Couple this with the cover art work by David Yardin, and it is enough to produce a nerdgasm. The voice of the Magneto character is as much a result of Bunn's work as it is the artists involved in this issue and series. The careful consideration given as to how to depict Magneto has played out well in this issue. We see the balance of necessary decisions the character has had to make, whether for good or bad, come to the fore and take expression in his figure and face.

Can the Master of Magnetism defeat his past?

If you aren't yet reading this series, seriously go get the trades when they come out (the first two should already be available in good stores now) and take in the great story offered by this series. I am really anticipating something big in next issue; the tie in to "Secret Wars" is coming just in time to maximize the serious questions Magneto has been asking of himself and his legacy.

So, comic fans, what did you think about this issue? What did you think of Bunn's ending? Did it blow you away? Tell us below or head over to the Fanboys Anonymous Facebook or Twitter and leave a comment. Make sure you come back for the continuation of Magneto in the "Last Days" as we head into "Secret Wars."

Ant-Man #4 cover by Mark Brooks

Ant-Man #4 has brilliant comic timing and is a great showcase of modern humor in the form of a comic. This is consistently a comic I find myself looking forward to each month.

Nick Spencer is on form time and again with his script, and the art delivers perfect execution to match this style. Ant-Man comes highly recommended; it is a solid comic that hasn't failed me yet.

At the gooey center of it all, this comic has real heart. While it is a Marvel publication, it isn't about superheroes, and yes I realize they play a large part, but it is a supporting role that brings the real plot forward. This story is about a father's redemption. The fact that the main character can shrink to the size of an ant and control the same-sized insects just adds flavor to the situation. It is the feeling and paternal elements of the story that keep readers returning each month—well, that and the laughs.

Spencer is spending a lot of time focusing on characterization. The introduction of a new member of Ant-Man's security team adds flavor and depth. This is also apparent for some of the Cross Technological Enterprises team also, as we get to delve into the character of Cassie's kidnapper. The subtle and natural approach to bringing these characters to the fore is a skill into itself, one utilized so well in this series.

Scott Lang has failed his daughter again.	Cross Technological Enterprises looms larger than life.

It feels important to single out Travis Lanham, the series letterer, at this point. Rereading this issue and the previous three, it is more apparent what a fine job he is doing to bringing out the humor and timing of the script as the dialogue and narrative is laid over each panel. Lanham fuses together the art by Ramon Rosanas and the script by Nick Spencer.

Great art and scripting drives a solid story	Cassie Lang is all her heart in the performance

The art by Rosanas and color by Jordan Boyd continue to delight. The use of long panels adds a dimension to their work that paces the story appropriately, elongating the visual perceptive. Boyd uses these opportunities to fade the background colors into a gorgeous hue, adding further depth to the scene. There are some brilliant fight scenes in this issue that show the important role Rosanas has in bringing the right angle and shot choice to each panel. As Ant-Man changes size and is propelled through his quest to find this captured daughter, the artist role in the dynamics of telling the story is extremely apparent.

So Fan-people, as Ant-Man brings you a monthly dose of goodness in comic form, what did you think about it? We will see how "Secret Wars" affects the flow of the series, though this has been a great arc so far. Make sure you tell us what you thought of the book, by leaving a comment below or on our Facebook or Twitter and make sure you come back next time for the next installment of Ant-Man.

Storm #10 cover by Stephanie Hans

"But oh, the stories we tell."

On the whole, the stories from Storm have been a great experience. This is a solid solo X-Men series that has carried itself off with aplomb and certainty. It has a well-established voice in the main character and a direction that seems well planned and has been executed to a high standard.

Storm #10 has a charming opening page. It is a homecoming of sorts for the title character; we see Storm as she is set up for the culmination of the introspective examination that Greg Pak has led us on throughout the series this far.

The beginning of this issue also throws readers off guard when it comes time to throw out the hooks, build some suspense, and bring the story around at the conclusion for a neat cliffhanger. The storytelling devices are employed fluidly and with a confident sense of craftsmanship.

This confidence from the creative team has permeated the series and helps redefine Storm for a new audience. In many ways this series has defined Storm as a character. It has asserted all of the traits associated with her in the past and brought them together in a cohesive, modern manner, making this rendering of Storm definitive, particularly from the point of view of the art, which has been so fantastic.

The Jean Grey School for young Mutants

We come full circle now as Pak ties up the series in a small concluding arc. It is nice to see the various strands that have been unraveled over the course of Storm being wound back in. From the outset of this issue we are presented with a story that showcases the depth of character and the strength of purpose that has been so carefully examined in the series. The cover by Stephanie Hans is beautiful; she captures the essence of the character in an electrifying manner that fits well with fan expectations of how Storm should look and the power she emanates. Hans's work has been a stellar contribution to the series, bringing the character to life in emotionally fraught situations and heightening the appeal of and response to the book. This is exactly what a good cover artist should bring to any series and is achieved brilliantly on Storm.

Storm's home-coming

As we move into the interior art, we are presented with a combination of work from series artists Victor Ibanez, Al Barrionuevo, and Neal Edwards. These artists draw a well-paced and balanced book with well-chosen dramatic angles and direction. The cohesion of art is a great example of how multiple artists can work together to produce a tantalizing story. It is great to see the enigmatic figure of Storm running through a gambit of emotions, and to have this represented so well in her facial expressions is testament to the fine work of the artists involved. Ruth Redmond continues to dazzle with her colors and layouts. Redmond brings the pages to life, imbuing them with charisma. The same earthy tones and gritty feel that we experienced at the beginning of the series can still be found in this issue.

Storm's life returns to normal...

Storm is truly a must-read series for fans of solo X-Men adventures. It is executed so well and is a great way to experience more from this character than can be found in the team X books currently being produced from Marvel.

As we near the end of the series, we want to know what you think about Storm #10. Do you like how Pak is tying in all the threads from throughout the series? What do you hope to see in the final issues? What did you think about the surprise characters and the art this time around?

Make sure you come back for the next issue, which looks to be the final book before we head into a "Secret Wars"–linked story.

Our first official look at the next installment of DC's cinematic universe—Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice—has been released in glorious HD after a leaked version of it appeared online yesterday.

You can watch the trailer in question below:

My initial reaction:

Does this look cool? Definitely. Does that calm my nerves about this possibly sucking? Absolutely not. I thought Man of Steel looked like it could have been the best Superman film ever, but there were tons of things I didn't like about that. Although the production is trying to remain hush about a lot of details with this film, what I'm hearing is making me nervous. I definitely like the idea of Superman needing to earn his position as a savior to the world, but if that's Lex Luthor that we're hearing giving part of that voice over speech, then my suspicions about casting Jesse Eisenberg being a mistake are growing even more valid. None of that had the gravitas that it needs for me to believe in it. Also, speaking of voices, while I'm not terribly upset about it, I would like a better Batman voice. The idea of a voice modulator is what I was hoping for, but this sounds way too mechanical.

Ben Affleck looks awesome. Batman looks bulky, though. Also, everything looks way too Zack Snyder. Tell me you're not having Watchmen flashbacks after seeing that shot of what I'm assuming is the Batplane from behind. Snyder's visual style is not something I'm fond of and while it might work for Gotham, it needs to not carry over into Metropolis in any way that it did in the first film. Pretty much everything that I think looks cool in this has me more excited than before, but not so excited that I'm willing to suspend my anxiety. Every aspect of this trailer that seems cool could end up being disappointing and the rest that doesn't look quite so awesome could be even worse and more prevalent.

Am I going to see it?

As with most movies like this, even if it looked terrible, I'd be there opening night to see it. I'm nervous as hell that this is going to suck and I'm going to walk away from my viewing with a sour taste in my mouth and only a couple positives to say alongside a ton of negatives, but that's not going to stop me from watching it, nor will it prevent me from saying I like the film if it turns out that it's good. For that matter, though, it better be.

From a war-torn galaxy far, far away comes the new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it is everything to be excited about. [Trailer below]

Debuted at Star Wars Celebration with director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, the trailer begins with a speeder racing across the desert toward the wreckage of a star destroyer. We then hear a familiar voice that will bring goosebumps to the back of your neck. "The Force is strong in my family," begins what sounds like Luke Skywalker's monologue to Leia from Return of the Jedi. "My father has it. I have it. My sister has it…And you have that power, too."

The last line sets off plenty of speculation that the new films will feature his son, Ben Skywalker, who was born amid the devastation of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The passing of Darth Vader's lightsaber into the hands of a child may further confirm that this new character is Luke's son, and that may lead to Mara Jade—Luke's wife—being added to the mix as well.

The first trailer left us with the epic glimpse of the three-bladed lightsaber, and this trailer leaves us with perhaps the most iconic image thus far: Darth Vader's scorched helmet, last seen at his funeral pyre as Luke mourned losing his father in Anakin's moment of redemption.

The trailer concludes with another glimpse of our villain and a short glimpse of our favorite ship, the Millennium Falcon, taking flight through a battlefront that includes TIE fighters. Soon enough we see our old friends Han Solo and Chewbacca again, and with a crooked smile Harrison Ford says, "Chewie, we're home."

Set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens will be in theaters on December 18.

Are you as excited as I am?

Adaline Bowman will be forever 29 years old. After a terrible accident that renders her immortal, Bowman goes on the run to keep herself a secret. She changes her identity every 10 years while being careful not to get too close to the people around her. If she does, she could end up as the test subject. The Age of Adaline is an exquisite love story with just the right amount of mystery and supernatural. The original screenplay, directed by Lee Toland Krieger, brings back nostalgic memories of romances that once were. Let's face it: every romantic storyline in the world has been done twice over, but rarely do you see such a strong female lead with such a powerful place in movie history.

Bowman, played by the talented Blake Lively, was born at the turn of the century. She's a mother and a friend who's been through wars and industrialization, and she sees clearly that which others take for granted. This makes her such a unique character that I couldn't help being awestruck by her. Then she meets Ellis Jones, played by Michiel Huisman. He's enchanted by her sophistication and smarts, and he could very well be the man that makes her tell her secret.

The all-star cast, which includes veterans Harrison Ford and Ellen Burstyn, brings the acting to another level entirely. It's so refreshing to see Ford in a dramatic role like this. He's reached the age where action movies just aren't suitable, but one thing he'll never lose is his sex appeal. Ford plays a past lover of Bowman who also happens to be Ellis' father.

When I was first invited to the screening, I was a little skeptical. People were comparing this movie to a Nicolas Sparks book, and these days I'm just not into tearjerkers. To be honest, I'm not really into romances either, but the whole supernatural touch had me curious as to how they would approach it. Certainly this couldn't as silly as Twilight or all these silly immortal tween movies. How did one fall in love if they couldn't grow old together? This isn't a Sparks knockoff, and this isn't just another love story. This movie is about relationships—how to stay true and strong when everything in the world moves so fast.

The Age of Adaline didn't have a single cheesy romantic moment, and it was entirely faultless in the explanation of life. Bowman's words of wisdom will be one of those phrases I'll repeat in casual conversation, making this movie just as timeless as Bowman herself.

The Age of Adaline releases in theaters on April 24th. What do you think of the storyline? Overdone or unique? Do you believe there are enough movies with strong female leads? Let us know in a comment below.
