from Fantastic Forum · host Fantastic Forum
This week on Fantastic Forum, we are celebrating the return of one of Marvel Animation's biggest hits and the long-awaited comeback of one of comics' greatest crime sagas. First up is X-Men '97 Season 2, as Marvel's beloved mutants return for another season of action, drama, and world-shaking consequences. Featuring the returning voice cast led by Ray Chase (Cyclops), Jennifer Hale (Jean Grey), Alison Sealy-Smith (Storm), Lenore Zann (Rogue), George Buza (Beast), A.J. LoCascio (Gambit), and Cal Dodd (Wolverine), the new season picks up after the explosive finale of Season 1 with the X-Men scattered across time and space. We are breaking down the premiere, the new direction for the team, and whether the series continues to honor the legacy of the original while forging its own path. Then we turn to 100 Bullets: The U.S. of Anger #1, marking the return of the acclaimed Vertigo crime saga from Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, with lettering by Clem Robins. Set years after the events of the original series, this new chapter follows Brother Lono as he emerges into an America more divided and volatile than ever before. Told in stark black and white, Azzarello and Risso revisit the brutal world that earned 100 Bullets multiple Eisner Awards, delivering a noir thriller that examines violence, vengeance, and the state of a nation on the edge. We are discussing whether this long-awaited return captures the same gritty magic that made the original series a modern classic.
