Look, guys. I'm absolutely loving the recent X-Babies miniseries. I've always loved the concept -- Mojo makes baby versions of the X-Men, and they become the most popular stars on Mojoworld TV! -- but this series takes it one step further by having the X-Babies horrified that they've been replaced with even younger, even cuter versions of ( Read more... )

Ok, reading an all-ages comic should not make me desire filthy porn between Wolverine and a male OC, but my GOD. This issue was... jeez.

Sometimes people ask me, "Why do you read comics you don't like?" Usually I don't have a good answer. I finally dropped New Warriors, but I have no idea why I'm still reading, say, Young X-Men, or X-Force.

However, I have very, very good reasons for reading the cracktastic abomination that is New Exiles.

*pokes at flist* Just a reminder that today is the last day to sign up for the X-Men: First Class Ficathon, over at xmenfirstclass. You should sign up! Because it's awesome! And the original 5 X-Men are so much fun to play with, especially in their adorable, less-angsty, young incarnations! So, yes. If you're interested, get your sign up in by the end of ( Read more... )

Because likeadeuce said I should post these, after our conversation last night. (Sadly, these scans were already posted to scans_daily, so I only get to inflict this ridiculousness on my friendslist.)The first issue of Brian K. Vaughan's "Logan" miniseries was promising. Good writing, interesting art, a take on Logan that felt right for the character and his history ( Read more... )

So, recently, on a whim, I read the first 19 issues of Wolverine Vol. 3, Greg Rucka's run. It's pretty good - good Logan characterization, at least. Some of the plots are a little O.o, and seem to showcase some issues on Rucka's part. (Every arc is "Wolverine tries to save a woman and it ends horribly!" But, you know, he's Wolverine. This is ( Read more... )

Dear Howard Chaykin,

I hate your art. Really, it is damn hideous. But the outfits you've been putting on Wolverine in his current solo title? Are things of beauty. It's like you got your Canadians confused and gave him Northstar's wardrobe.

I mean, I thought that the silver sequined gay clubbing t-shirt and pink X-belt were a fluke. But now ( Read more... )

Today, while procrastinating homework, I had the dubious pleasure of skimming the 2001 Iron Fist and Wolverine miniseries: The Return of K'un Lun (by Jay Faerber, art by Jamal Igle). It is... every bit as bad as you would imagine, in plot, dialogue, and art, but it contained enough Luke/Danny action (and some bonus Steve/Tony action!) that I had ( Read more... )

I'm currently in a Panera, procrastinating homework and temporarily blocked on writing, and it occurred to me that I haven't posted Steve/Tony scans in a long time ( Read more... )

So, what I thought was an allergy might just be a cold that decided to strike at exactly the wrong time. Either way, I'm still sniffly and throat-hurty and gross, so I'm calling out of work and curling up in bed with fandom obligations.

Randomly, have any of you ever looked at the art of Paolo Rivera? He's the one who did the Mythos: X-Men issue ( Read more... )
