The thing I like the most about Twitter is the ability to interact with creatives in real time. In the past you had to write a letter to a writer, artist, musician, etc and hope that, maybe, they’d actually read it and that, maybe, they’d feel compelled to reply with something more than boilerplate. I [...]

One always wonders if and when those classes you take in high school will be important. For me, as an engineer, most of my high school classes were laying the foundation for the classes I’d take in college. I’ve used plenty of those classes in my work and personal life. One of the classes that [...]

Start here before FF Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman # 1 – Volume 1 I’ve always been a Fantastic Four fan, but it’d been a long time since I last read F4 when I picked up FF. Being as this was a #1 of a new title, I was very confused about what in the [...]

Not Feelin’ It Astonishing X-Men # 36 – Monstrous, Part 1 The only story arc in Astonishing I haven’t read yet is Exogenic. I am really not liking this one. I know this is the first issue, but I’ve also read the third one due to when I got into Astonishing. I really, really hate [...]

It was OK Uncanny X-Men # 539 – Losing Hope I was hoping this was linked to what happened in Generation Hope #8, but sadly it does not appear to be. We do get to see how M-Day has affected some former mutants, and that’s neat. We also get to see why Wolverine acts so [...]

Injecting some fresh blood into the X-Men Generation Hope: The Future is a Four-Letter Word # 1 – TPB We live in a world where the big comic companies are in financial trouble. We’ve got so many things to occupy our attention and many of them are free. So we’re drowning in reboots and revamps [...]

Good Focus on the New Guy Batman, Incorporated # 7 – Medicine Soldiers I like this Batman, Inc issue because it mostly focused on the new guy with Batman playing a very small part. The dynamic between Man-of-Bats and Raven is played very well. There’s a lot of history here and you can feel it. [...]

Glad I Waited Uncanny X-Men # 535 – Breaking Point, Part One I just got back into comics in May after a 10-12 year hiatus. boy have I missed a lot! So I’ve been working my way through the trade paperbacks and hard covers to get caught up on just what happened to one of [...]

A Fitting Followup to Morrison’s Run Astonishing X-Men Omnibus # 1 – Astonishing X-Men Omnibus I came into this right on the heels of Morrison’s run in the Ultimate 3 Volume collection. I know there’s an Uncanny Volume that takes place between the two, but it doesn’t look like it contained anything that kept me [...]

Things Really get Real New X-Men Ultimate Collection # 2 – Book 2 At first the book continues directly from the previous one. We learn that Prof X can walk because Xorn healed his spine (although I thought it was that his legs were crushed? Perhaps that was retconned at some point). Prof X is [...]

Morrison at his BEST! New X-Men Ultimate Collection # 1 – Book 1 Holy cow! That’s not strong enough, that volume requires some high level “Whoa!” and “DID YOUO SEE THAT?” and all kinds of profanity (if you happen to condone such tings) to describe what a ride it was to read Morrison’s take on [...]

And it’s over…. X-Men: Complete Onslaught Epic # 4 – Volume 4 So, here we are. The end of of a huge Marvel crossover that led directly into Heroes Reborn. (And maybe even was created solely for that purpose?) This thing went back a few years if you count all the hints they were dropping [...]

Pause the Action. Survey the World X-Men: Complete Onslaught Epic # 2 – Volume 2 For the most part Volume 2 of Onslaught: the Complete Epic is just filler. The first issue or two deal with the X-Men on their mission to deal with Onslaught. Reveals that Xavier is like Batman: crazy prepared! He has [...]

Back to the Action Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight: Time of Your Life # 1 – Time of your Life After the last trade paperback, which was mostly laughs, we jump right back into the fray. (No pun intended) Buffy ends up sucked into the Future of Whedon’s Fray comic. Like the licensed and [...]

Is X-Men: Legacy always this confusing? X-Men: Legacy # 250 – Lost Legions, Part 1; Flashback; Into the Abyss This is only my second issue of X-Men: Legacy, but it seems to jump around more than the other Marvel books I’m reading. When #249 ended, we saw Rogue and Magneto maybe about to get it [...]
