NCIS, Clex Kinks, and Comics

[jjtaylor]

One of my favorite things about NCIS is how many things happen in an episode that don't advance the plot but don't slow it down. It's magic - I can't quite figure out how they do it. How Kate and DiNozzo can fight about DiNozzo invading Kate's privacy, how Abby and Kate and McGee can all talk over each other for at least thirty seconds before Gibbs

Hi. I screeched to a halt here because I saw "X-Men." *g*

Anyway, Really Nice Comic Guy suggested I start reading Secret War, written by Brian Michael Bendis

I love this, and wish it would come out faster. I'm dying to know what's going on, and the art is so freakin' gorgeous.

I also left with the book (trade? graphic novel?) Exiles written Judd Winick, a sort of X-men Quantum Leap where new, young characters have to go correct things that have gone wrong with Big Marvel Universe moments.

*nods. Trade paperback. Exiles was probably my favorite title until Winick left the book. I dropped it once I realized it was never going to be that good again. But the early ones were fabulous. Funny, but also with some very heartbreaky moments.

The one thing I was looking for that the store did not have was one of the recent What If series, called "What if Magneto Had Formed the X-Men?" It was apparently so popular that it disappeared from all the stores in the area. Do any of you know where I could find a copy?

mycomicshop.com has it

YAY!

I'm most excited to start Secret War - it sounded like such an amazing premise.

Thanks for the link for ordering that AU issue - I might just have to do it. Even if it turns out to be a weak story. Hey, I'm the one reading Excalibur, which is almost entirely plotless, just for the Charles/Erik.
