About the author

Cullen grew up in rural North Carolina, but now lives in the St. Louis area with his wife Cindy and his son Jackson. His noir/horror comic (and first collaboration with Brian Hurtt), The Damned, was published in 2007 by Oni Press. The follow-up, The Damned: Prodigal Sons, was released in 2008. In addition to The Sixth Gun, his current projects include Crooked Hills, a middle reader horror prose series from Evileye Books; The Tooth, an original graphic novel from Oni Press; and various work for Marvel and DC. Somewhere along the way, Cullen founded Undaunted Press and edited the critically acclaimed small press horror magazine, Whispers from the Shattered Forum.

All writers must pay their dues, and Cullen has worked various odd jobs, including Alien Autopsy Specialist, Rodeo Clown, Professional Wrestler Manager, and Sasquatch Wrangler.

And, yes, he has fought for his life against mountain lions and he did perform on stage as the World's Youngest Hypnotist. Buy him a drink sometime, and he'll tell you all about it.

I like where this series is going. Logan's son seems like an interesting addition to the team, and whether they be a Mr or Miss, Sinister is one of my favorite X-Men villains.

I need Wanda to show up and let out a cry of "NO MORE WOLVERINES!" Laura is the only Wolvie we need.

Pertemuan para X-Men dengan Jimmy Hudson menjadi pertempuran yang seru ketika Marauders, tim lama Jimmy dari jagat alternatif, muncul untuk merebut Jimmy. Rupanya dalang di balik peristiwa "penjemputan" Jimmy itu adalah Miss Sinister yang sedang mengumpulkan para mutan unik untuk dijadikan pasukannya. Baiklah, sampai nomor lima ini, tampaknya X-Men Blue memberikan peran dengan porsi besar kepada Jean Grey. Marvel Girls yang masih remaja ini, dengan ciri rambut merah dan berpotongan pendek, selain dijadikan ketua tim (yang biasanya dipegang oleh Cyclops) juga dipercaya untuk bertemu dengan tokoh dan musuh utama. Pertama, ia bertemu dengan Magneto di nomor kedua. Kedua, di nomor ini, kemunculan Miss Sinister hanya diketahui oleh Jean Grey saja karena peristiwa pertemuan itu terjadi di dunia psikis. Saya sendiri penyuka Jean Grey, dengan berbagai penggambarannya. Barangkali hanya Jean Grey yang diperankan oleh Famkee Jansen yang saya tidak terlalu suka. Tapi baru di serial X-Men Blue inilah, saya menemukan Jean yang sangat muda tapi sekaligus memikul tanggungjawab yang sangat besar.

The blue team vs Miss Sinister and The New Marauders.

Super-lame. No real challenge for our ‘heroes.’ But look! We have the blonde Wolverine!

They also literally said “Jimmy” like a thousand times. Beyond annoying. Total garbage. 🤢🤮

So, is Miss Sinister the main baddie or just another detour? The story still seems very... scattered.
