My Big Three X-books

So I'm just starting to collect Excalibur and can safely say this is my favorite X-Book. The Giant Size Uncanny X-Men: First Class was great, and most of First Class was fun. Some of it was a bit hokey, but that's okay. X-Calibre is feeling more dated than some of Excalibur but it's still fun. I ha...

The New 52: Swamp Thing

That is very interesting. I am very intrigued by the inference that Swamp Thing is a product of a divergent branch of the evolutionary tree, and not a lab accident. Completely new and different take. But then, would this not also infer that there is a race of swamp things? And agreed on the T-Rex. T...

Gambit

I am SO anti Gambit/Rogue. No one has managed to make that interesting in years. I've heard that he and Frenzy seem to be flirty, and I am on board! My biggest fear in seeing he and Rogue are in a book together is that they will put them back together. And after she has treated him, he would look li...

The Netflix Queue: Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus

My buddy Bobby Ray <3's this movie. He has been telling me of it for months now. This is a whole series apparently and he is intrigued and wishes to get them all. Your friend has great taste. Or horrible taste. Either way he's my kind of people. Ps, I wanna comment on the ridiculous romance between...

I need a quick overview

Emma named one of her gray hairs after him, IIRC. Aside from the grief pieces, that's the only other bit that comes to mind. Mystique mentioned his death, but not much got explored from her end 'cause she kinda got dead. Again. I remember that grey hair bit! Oh Emma. Classy as ever. And Kurt came u...

The New 52: Swamp Thing

Thanks guys! I think a big thing is that I am 100% new to Swamp Thing, so I don't know the mythos at all. But I'm willing to give it a try :). The first issue was interesting enough to keep me for at least the next few.

The New 52: Batgirl

I really liked this. And I was on the fence about reading it, Gail Simone hasn't thrilled me in the last few things I've read. But it was fun and exciting and I am really intrigued by this Mirror character. And I loved the turmoil and the memories of her shooting which, in this case, temporarily par...

I totally agree, Bamfette, this was fun! I'm a big fan of Lemire, and this didn't disappoint. I have to say, I got alot of joy from meeting his team, essentially made up of your typical Halloween monsters. Loved that.

Ok, I need help. I enjoyed this book, but I feel like I was missing out on something. I know literally nothing about Swamp Thing except that he had a show or something. Or movie. Are there any basics I should know going in that will help me to understand and enjoy this more?

When it comes to DC, I am a Green Lantern fan. I've gone all the way back to issue 1 and loved every second. One of my favorite things to come out of GL mythos in the past years has been the other corps, based on the colors of the spectrum, each representing an emotion. Loved this concept, LOVE the ...

Ah drat, missed that you had all ready linked it but yes, that might be my favourite scene in a cracktastic sci-fi channel movie of all time. I've found it's oddly applicable to outside conversations as well. I will agree the scene is almost better out of context than it is in. But considering ther...

That's very true. Jessica was kind of unclear, as far as whether becoming a vampire changes a personality. I loved Jessica's transformation, I loved what a bitchy teen she was. It will certainly be interesting to see if the transformation is more than physical. You know, I was thinking today of how ...

I'm not sure what is more unbelievable about this film. That a megalodon and giant octopus (just a giant octopus. Nothing special, never explained. Not a squid, which does come in "giant" sized. A giant octopus) become unfrozen and wage war on everyone and anyone, or that Debbie Gibson is ...

"First Class" movie

I agree that Emma Frost was the weak point. They intended to give her a "frosty" personality, (according to the DVD extras :urg) but I think the actress didn't pull it off at all. I agree. I don't think she came off as frosty, she came off as complacent and bored. Favorite scenes - The ca...

Yeah really. The opening of X2 was one of the best scenes from all of the movies combined. Everything else was kind of dissapointing though. But I'll be contraversial here - I don't dislike Alan Cumming, I think he's a pretty good actor. However, I don't think he was necessarily a good casting choi...
