    Issue: X Men Noir: Mark of Cain #4
    Writer: Fred Van Lente
    Artist: Dennis Calero
    Date Published: March 2010
    Alpha Appearance: Alternate version of Puck
    Period in Alpha Flight's history: N/A

    OVERVIEW:

    It all comes together. People are betrayed, friendships are affirmed, new characters are crawling out of the woodwork (literally).


    REVIEW:

    This issue was slightly easier for me to review on its own than the last, because I read it on its own. (I got the first three at the same time because of technobabble.)

    Last time, I mentioned finding the art easier to 'read' than other people did.
    I'm gonna take that back. There were a lot of times here when I couldn't tell who I was supposed to be looking at. It made it hard to follow the complex narrative; who betrayed who? Who was on whose side? That's hard to tell in the convoluted plot, even harder when I can't see who I'm seeing.

    Story: SuperGuardians part 1 of 2

    I suppose one of the joys of writing something like The Exiles is the freedom to really let your imagination run riot.

This story starts of with what looks like the Silver Surfer battling with various members of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. ...
