Against all odds, I am very excited about Age of X-Man. This is an event that is going to cost me over $120 centered around X-Man, a character that, after reading literally every single comic he has been in, I despise. None the less, I feel sheer joy when thinking about Age of X-Man, and…
This is what the kids call a self own isn’t it? No matter how many jokes SOMEONE makes about The Rob and his newest creation, MAJOR X #1 is selling well. Great for everyone involved! Wish they would move some of that enthusiasm towards the innovation of AGE OF X-MAN instead of regurgitating ideas from…
November 11th was the birthday of longtime X-Men artist Dave Cockrum, who passed away in 2006. In his honor, it’s also the unofficial birthday of his favorite mutant, Nightcrawler.

Whether it’s Prince Tuften of Kamandi, Shere Khan from Talespin or Bronze Tiger when he wears that mask, there’s something about a human/tiger hybrid that strikes fear in the heart of pretty much anybody and inspires awe in the others.
