You Can Own A Pair Of The Beasts Ears From X3: The Last Stand
I still think that they nailed that casting, and it is surreal to think that Frasier played Beast in an X-Men film Nuts The rest of X3 is not very good at all, but for those who are into collecting superhero props, you can own something pretty sweet from that third mutant film: Beast's ears[...]

What Do You Need Six Teleporters For Anyway? SWORD #1 Spoilers
Sword #1 asks a question that has often come up with superhero teams, especially X-Men teams, as powers start to drift and spread.  Do you really need Jean Grey and Psylocke and Emma Frost and Professor Xavier on the same team? Colossus and The Beast? There's power duplication, double up, and a sense of waste. What[...]

The Reign Of X Begins
The Krakoan resurrection protocols remain a clever bit of meta-narrative in the new X-Men comic books Dogged for years with a reputation for killing off mutants and then bringing them back to life, the revolving door of death was a trope ridiculed even within the comics themselves, with the constant refrain "I thought you died?"[...]

Donny Cates is the bad boy of comics.
:)" But was Cates only kidding? Just a few hours later, Cates was asked by a fan how the X-Men characters will fare in his own upcoming crossover event book, King in Black Cates responded, "They gonna have a bad day." It's difficult not to view the two events as connected, especially in the context of[...]
Obscure Comics: X-Men Ultra Woverine, Trading Cards or Comic Part 1
Marvel's cards continued to shine the brightest, though, and in 1992, Marvel purchased their own trading card company Fleer, which then began producing the Marvel Universe trading cards exclusively.

Hold Your Horses on

X Of Swords Destruction #1 Review: Totally X'ed Out
In the words of the philosopher Alvin Joiner, "so it all comes down to this …" This may as well be considered a review for X-Men #15 and Excalibur #15 as well because there is one long story woven through twenty-two twenty-page installments That's not a compliment, especially given the meandering nature of this plot, the[...]

The Problem With Franklin Richards Never Having Been A Mutant
The X-Men/Fantastic Four series by Chip Zdarsky investigated that relationship and left Franklin as a mutant ex-pat, living with his family but readily visiting Krakoa and the other mutants Zdarsky expressly wrote the story as an analogy to a queer or trans experience, telling Precious Baubles that it was like a "queer kid being raised[...]
X of Swords: Destruction [XH]
To give thanks for getting to take an actual day off from writing about nonsense like comics and pro wrestling, I saved up two weeks' worth of X-Men recaps to publish on Thanksgiving while I'm gorging myself on Turkey, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and multiple versions of pie That means there are six chapters of[...]
