Tom’s Unpopular Opinion: Logan is overrated

To this day, I can recall the low expectations I had for the first X-Men film released in 2000. With a modest budget, a director not known for doing superhero/action movies, and a cast largely unknown to me, as well…

WandaVision’s inspirations: 1985 to the present

So hopefully over the past couple of weeks, you read my articles regarding the two Vision and Scarlet Witch limited series that were published in 1982 and 1985. While I enjoyed the first series, I found the second series a…

When we last saw our teen heroes, the New Mutants found their friend and teammate Danielle Moonstar AKA Psyche (I’m… pretty sure she wasn’t calling herself “Mirage” at this point. I don’t know if Claremont’s tendency to have characters re-name…

The New Mutants #18: The Demon Bear Saga (part 1)

In my last article, I talked about how I had erroneously ASSumed the creation of the New Mutants meant my beloved X-Men were going away. After being assured by my local comic book store owner that it was not the…

Meet the New Mutants: Marvel Graphic Novel #4

It might sound dumb now, but back in 1982 when the New Mutants graphic novel was announced, I took that as a sign that The Uncanny X-Men was getting canceled. Please bear in mind I was just a teenager and…

Marvel and DC Present The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans (part 2 of 2)

When we last left our tale, our titanically uncanny heroes, um, lost. Right. Moving on. We cut to… the Wall. Not that wall. This Wall. Remember what I said last time about Simonson being Kirby’s spiritual successor? Well, here you…

Marvel and DC Present The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans (part 1 of 2)

X-Men #175 “Phoenix!”

I won’t deny that it’s tempting to spend the next six months recapping X-Men comics, seeing as this era is to my mind one of the greatest periods in comic book history. Of course, I’m biased, seeing as these were…

X-Men #150 “I, Magneto...”

3 dumb ways superhero comics tried to rewrite the past

Back when they started out, superhero comics didn’t care all that much about keeping track of who did what, mainly because it was the 1940s, they were printed on the cheapest possible material (which incidentally is why most old comics…
