A Tactical Error on Brevoort’s Part

I’m not sure that Tom Brevoort quite knows what he’s getting himself into with his latest blog entry on Marvel.com.
It’s fun to gripe! We all do it! And it can be educational and enjoyable!
So let’s all gripe here for a second. What is there about what we’re doing at the moment that you don’t like? [...]

X-Men : Divided I Stand

Image from Wikipedia

So Divided We Stand, the aftermath of Messiah Complex, has begun and I feel a bit… conflicted. Actually, I’m feeling a bit negative about it, overall. The things I like are really not surprising or outstanding by any means, but the stuff I don’t like has me very annoyed.
Let’s just jump [...]

Crackerbob’s Convention Tour 2008 - Megacon!

It has now been confirmed - I’ll be starting off my convention tour of 2008 with Megacon, right here in sunny Orlando, FL.
And, really, this will be the ONLY stop on my convention tour of 2008. Cons cost money, kids, and since I’m shopping for a house to move, possibly may be changing jobs [...]

You Have GOT To Be $@%$% Kidding Me - Again

Marvel just released the following image under the headline “Phoenix Rising?” and the words “Stay Tuned”
Judging from the fact that this image also features Cassandra Nova, The Brood, and Proteus, and the artist is David Lynch, the cover artist for X-Men: Legacy, this probably means nothing and is just a cover for Legacy released to [...]

X-men Messiah Complex - The Final Chapter

Okay, here it is final chapter of the best crossover this year! Let’s get this party start - errr…. ended!

Fair warning - I’m not even trying to avoid spoilers since they’ve already been posted all over the internet. If you haven’t read the issue yet and hate spoilers, go read the comic and then [...]

My First, Last, And Only Words On One More Day

I wasn’t really going to say anything about “One More Brand New Day”, because I think it’s been done to death, but then I had a discussion with Mike Haynes from Panels of Awesome about how the way my long-standing love for the X-Men can result in a blindness to many faults in their stories [...]

Mock Away - I Want X-Force!

Comic Book Resources’ George A. Tramountanas has posted an interview with X-Force editor John Barber about the post-Messiah Complex direction of the X-books in general and X-Force in particular.
I recognize that there are plenty of reasons for me to dread this title - from the lame title to the black, “edgy” costumes to the [...]

X-Men Messiah Complex: New X-Men Taste Like LAME

I’ve decided to give the last two chapters of Messiah Complex their own posts, just because I can. I’m power-mad like that. I also don’t want my apathy for New X-Men to taint the final chapter.
As always, spoilers are quite possible, venturing into the range of probable, so spoiler-phobes who have yet to [...]
