AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #7 (OF 12)
July 2, 2012 10:39 pm I haven't read every major publisher event ever, but this is, so far, my hands-down favorite. Marvel's really knocking it out of the park in the main book. (The best tie-ins belong, hands down, to "Wolverine & the X-Men" and "X-Men Legacy"; the rest have been pretty bad.)

BREAKING: ASTONISHING X-MEN – Northstar is Getting Married
May 23, 2012 9:55 am Try any issue of "X-Men" or said related mutant books where a new mutant (or a New Mutant) is actively being recruited/discovering he or she has powers.
I don't know if you've noticed, but the Marvel comic book universe is kind of jam-packed full of stories about ostracized teenagers.
I suppose, then, the question would be for your proposed scenario: would a metaphorical story get the job done?

BREAKING: ASTONISHING X-MEN – Northstar is Getting Married

Weekly Sketch Up – 05.18.2012
May 20, 2012 11:28 pm My college students had no idea who Calvin & Hobbes are. But they DID recognize the (non-licensed) image of the little blonde kid with the striped red shirt peeing on everything.
I paid my entire H&C collection to my nephew a few years back. Great move.

Watchmen Toast
May 15, 2012 1:34 pm Josh, I believe the proper line delivery there is: "Could it BE any more milked?"
Which, understandably, doesn't roll off the tongue.

April 26, 2012 2:42 pm Really interesting stuff. Then I remember I've hated just about everything Morrison's written that I've read and kinda tune out.
