Neal Adams & Christos Gage Reveal THE FIRST X-MEN
May 15, 2012 9:53 am It's his job to make you feel good? He did't even say anything insulting. This is a general comic book forum not a X-Men fanpage...

Neal Adams & Christos Gage Reveal THE FIRST X-MEN
May 14, 2012 6:39 pm Why does any team need TWO guys with claws and healing factors?
Why would Magneto need help from anyone to defeat four armoured dudes?
I can't wait for the answers to those questions and more!

DC Histories: Shazam! (AKA Captain Marvel)
March 21, 2012 8:04 pm Marvel's Captain Marvel has a lot more in common with the original than just a name: he was bonded with the teenaged Rick Jones in such a way that they shared molecules, with one disappearing into a side-dimension when the other was in the physical world mirroring the Billy Batson/Cap. Marvel relationship.

VIDEO: The Biggest Trailer Yet for ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’
February 29, 2012 5:58 pm I mean...both Hawkeye and Black Widow have been Avengers in the comics for a long time.
I think the point of having base-line human characters in a team with a god, a meta-human, and a modern-day science-knight is they give a unique perspective when coming a gets a challenge. Maybe a direct assault is not the way to win the day, there may be a role for stealth and subterfuge.

What’s Wrong With You? The Hank Pym Issue
February 17, 2012 1:19 pm In the Marvel Universe alone there are examples of much worse treatment between characters: Scott Summers abandoning his wife and child for his returned-from-the-dead girlfriend, the physical and mental rape of Ms. Marvel by Immortus (made even worst by uncaring nature of her fellow Avengers, especially Hawkeye) and Rogue, respectively, etc.
Why are Scott, the Avengers (who had Wasp on the line-up), and Rogue able to move on beyond these individual plotlines while Hank is stuck as the wife-beater? Is beating your wife worse than abandoning her? Or being strangely ok with your friend's rape?

DC Announces ‘Before Watchmen’ (UPDATE)
February 1, 2012 12:07 pm They DO now "Star Wars" though. Just because its not the elements of Star Wars that you grew up with doesn't make it invalid. Star Wars is bigger than Han Solo and the Death Star and even Luke Skywalker. (For the record Luke was NEVER cool) For them "Star Wars" is Anakin and Kenobi fighting robots with clone troopers.

Should Jean Grey Come Back?
October 19, 2011 6:47 pm I beg to differ. For a lot of readers she wasn't even an X-Man- from 1977 (end of "Dark Phoenix Saga") to 1991 (end of X-Factor Vol. 1) she was either dead or not on the main X-Men team. People got to know Storm, Psylocke, Colossus, etc. while Jean was a fallen comrade and a reminder of the seriousness that all the X-Men faced. Other than her marriage to Scott, I can't think of a significant or defining storyline that featured her up to when Morrison killed her off.
