A surprising enemy uses a proxy to plant the idea that Gotham needs Batman and Bruce Wayne can't be Batman if he's married into Catwoman's mind. 

 

lWhat does this mean?  Well, the wedding issue is coming up.

Yeah, I have this variant and it's amazing.   It's also part the dumb Booster Gold storyline leading up to the wedding...

The X-Variant - Rosemary Cole In 2079 a cure for cancer was discovered but instead of curing cancer a virus was unleashed onto the world causing a zombie apocalypse which wiped out most of humanity.

In 2616 a new and stronger form of humans has been created. No longer do women become pregnant but babies are born in a tube which are then adopted and given to what are called care parents.

In 2616 strange things are happening to people all over the globe people are changing. The world is in danger of being wiped out again by zombies. To stop humanity from being wiped out again a group of people are sent back in time to the year 2079 in hopes of stopping the virus that is causing people to change.

Kala along with her bondmates all volunteer to go back to 2079 to help stop the virus from reaching their time and hoping to save humanity from the zombies.

Kala is very tough cookie and knows exactly what she wants and she can also take care of herself. Kala is a little different from anyone else but who or what she maybe is not clear. But I have some theories of my own on the matter. So what is Kala or who is she? What makes her different from others like her?

I have truly enjoyed the world that the author has created for The X-Variant. I love that the zombies are way different than any zombies that I have read before. I know that they don’t actually call them zombies but I do love me some zombies so I kind of like calling them that. I also love knowing how the zombie virus was created.

If you love zombies then come on and team up with Kala on her adventures from 2616 to 2079. If you like zombies and the apocalypse then I think you will probably love The X-Variant. So pick up your copy today and get started reading!

There's one issue on Comixology, and I'm thinking about it.

The new principal of Riverdale High, Mr. Stanger, continues to make unwelcome changes. In this issue, Jughead has to deal with Coach Eng, a tough guy who takes an instant dislike to him. Jughead doesn't want detention, but how's he supposed to avoid if the new rules seem designed to send everybody there?

I liked this issue even more than the first, I think because of the dream sequence. This time, Jughead was visited by January McAndrews, a member of the time police and a descendant of Archie Andrews from the 29th century.

In her time period, her town was being destroyed by a descendant of Reggie Mantle. Jughead's first reaction was to assume that they'd have to kill Reggie to save the future (in his dreams he tends to be a bit more casual about the deaths of people he knows than I'd like), but January stopped that thought in its tracks. Killing Reggie would change the timeline, and they weren't allowed to do that, so they had to figure out another way to deal with the situation.

(spoiler show)

I enjoyed all the action (January and her enormous gun!), Jughead's plan, and the idea it gave him for dealing with Coach Eng's obstacle course.

Like I said in my review of the first issue, one of the reasons I started reading this was because of the news that Jughead is explicitly revealed to be asexual in the fourth issue. Just like the first issue, this one has a hint of what's to come. It's an even stronger hint than the one in the first issue (this time around, Jughead avoids a kiss from January and says “Sorry, just not into kissing”), but yeah, the explicit mention coming up in the fourth issue is still a good thing, because even this could be interpreted multiple ways.

I'm interested to see how things go in the next issue, since Jughead is going to be faced with a bigger problem than the possibility of detention.

Extra:

Whoops, almost forgot the extra comic at the end. Just like there first issue, there's a classic Jughead comic at the end. This time around, I popped out of guided view and skimmed it. Still not to my taste.
