October 19, 2011 9:06 am Argh! That'll teach me not to double check my memory!

October 18, 2011 3:49 pm No Jason Aaron in the solicit either, I noticed. I'd like to see Jean Grey's reaction to Hope. She could align with her (and Cable's coming back this year as well I guess) and form a new X-Team (separate from Teams Wolverine and Cyclops), the Phoenix Force (with Rachel Summers to boot). Okay, I may've just gone off the rails there. For those of who spend a lot of time thinking about the X-Men, I co-run a podcast called Danger Room.

October 14, 2011 2:47 pm I've been out of collecting weekly paper comics for six years. I had an epiphany six years ago, buying my stack, that I really didn't care enough to purchase things on a weekly basis anymore. The store owner of my least favorite local shop kept answering the phone and leaving me to wait and after about 10-20 minutes of standing there waiting (strangely enough my mother and kid sister were with me) I dropped my stack and left. Now, partially because of the new 52, partially because my girlfriend told me I should support the industry I love (I buy hardbound graphic novels, I responded, but how could I resist?), I find myself collecting 5 or 6 titles. And I have to say, it's left me less than jazzed. I just don't think superheros in comic book form are the direction this medium ought to be heading. There just doesn't seem to be as much that's new or refreshing, which isn't to say new or refreshing isn't possible, but as a generic catch-phrase-call-to-arms, I vote for less old superheros, more new stories. I'll give this resurged collectionism three more months and see how I feel then.

August 1, 2011 10:21 am I had a cat named Klunk once.

I feel like these are a bit expensive though. The two hardcovers' content doesn't even add up to the original $16 trade paperback content. Glad that IDW is doing something with these old books, but wish it wasn't so pricey.

January 11, 2010 7:18 pm I have mixed feelings about this as I just read that John Malkovich has said he's playing the Vulture in the Raimi Spider-Man 4. Maybe they could make two movies.
