The Pick of the Pile

This week when I got my stack of comics, the first thing that I read was the new Uncanny Xmen Utopia. Ever since Norman Osborn took over SHIELD/HAMMER the new Dark Reign titles have been fantastic. Utopia is the Xmen/Dark Avengers crossover that builds up to the new Dark Xmen title. I am not too fond of the new lineup save for Emma Frost and Mystique (as Prof. X in public) but it will be different to see the original line up on the run from Osborn's new agenda. There were some odd choices for the Dark version that I found interesting and am curious where they are going to go with them. Cloak/Dagger, Mimic, Dark Beast, Dakan, Weapon Omega and Namor don't strike me as real team players, but under Osborn who knows what will happen.
