Name: Jennifer Smith
Bio: Almost 6 years ago, a combination of my childhood love for the 90s X-Men cartoon and a visit with comic-reading friends led me to see X-Men: The Last Stand on the big screen. As I left the theater, I thought, "The comics have got to be better than that, right?" So I asked a friend to lend me Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, which I'd been told was the cure plot, done well. When I told him I loved it, that same friend lent me The Dark Phoenix Saga. And Runaways. And Grant Morrison's New X-Men run. And New Avengers. And X-Factor. And She-Hulk. And Alias. And so it began. A year later, I was preparing to write my 100+ page undergraduate senior thesis on Captain America. Now I'm reading 10 or more books a week and blogging about comics regularly with the Fantastic Fangirls, I've interned at Marvel in the X-Office, and I'm focusing on comics scholarship as a PhD student in media and cultural studies.

The photos themselves are awesome, and I'm looking forward to the movie itself, but these are kind of hideous.
