Before I go any further, be forewarned that this contains mild spoils. Remember, I told you. By way of preface, I should state that I am usually content to read others' reviews on current books. But X-Men #190 is so good, I just had to share my thoughts with others on the net. X-Men #190 should be given *AT LEAST* an A on anyone's grading scale! While I was reading this, I was thinking that *THIS* is how Secret Wars should have been done! This book contains the X-Men, the Avengers, the New Mutants, Dr. Strange, the Morlocks, Spiderman, Selene, and a heavy named Kulan Gath (sp?). He and Spiderman and an incarnation of Red Sonja locked horns in Marvel Team Up #79. During the fight in the tavern Nightcrawler and Rogue seemed to have been on their own and when they decide to join the fray, he calls her Sweetheart. I had never noticed anything beyond the professional relationship between these two. Could it be that the spell is allowing true feelings to assert themselves? Perhaps I am getting more out this than was intended. Either way, though, I think X-Men #190 will be a very sought after book in the near future (more so than is the usual case for the X-Men title). I wonder if Spiderman's black suit will track him down in Hyboria-Manhattan and what would happen to it if it did cross over?
