Another fabulous Marvel Comics team will also be getting together once again sometime in the future. They are the X-Men. More specifically, they are the team’s First Class, and today’s news is they’ll get to keep their [...]
Warren Ellis’ X-Men Is Death
The fact that Warren Ellis has a run on any X-Men title should be enough to merit pause and reflection. That he was then able to craft a science fiction dirge about mortality and creation after the pop sensibilities of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s run is a feat unto itself. Reading through the first [...]
X-Men First Class Grabbed by FX
FX sure loves comic book based movies. From Deadline comes word that FX has closed a deal for the TV rights of X-Men: First Class. This acquisition means that FX has the rights to the entire X-Men franchise, including the original trilogy and Wolverine. These kinds of deals make sense since comic books movies tend [...]
X-Men First Class at the Box Office
Wolverine may be my favorite X-Man, but I hated X-Men Origins: Wolverine and loved X-Men: First Class, which saw a beautiful premier weekend and included SMALL SPOILER ALERT a short and sweet Wolverine cameo! Hey, but you don’t have to take my word for it when it comes to weighing whether to give the adventure [...]
X-Men: First Class Cast Mutates Beautifully – movie review
X-Men is the whole reason I love comic books. I was a big fan of the 90s animated series when I was a kid, and that got me into the comic books. There is no medium that I haven’t seen X-Men in, and it’s my favorite comic book movie franchise. There was only one thing [...]
X-Men First Class Professor X Clip and Green Lantern’s Hector Hammond
Today there are two special treats circulating the interwebs, especially if you happen to be a comic book movie fan. In fact, one is Marvel related and the other is totally DC.

Fringe Season Finale & Ten Other Offbeat Time Travel Tales You May Not Know or Care About
SPOILER ALERT – I’m going to spoil everything. After a season that groped for, neared, but never quite reached last year’s stunning “Peter” ep, Fringe, my favorite bastard child of The X-Files, let loose with a tight, dramatic high point — “The Day We Died” – which sends poor Peter into the future. Time travel [...]
Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique in X-Men First Class Teaser
I’m a Jennifer Lawrence fan, yes, I am! How can you not applaud a young actress whose career has gone from zero to 60 in so short a time? She is, of course, the young Mystique (well, younger than Rebecca Romijn from previous X-Men films) in June 3rd offering, X-Men: First Class. Before that, we’ll [...]
X-Men First Class – Meet Havok, Beast and Banshee

New X-Men First Class Trailer
Yahoo!’s pages in tribute to the prequel adventure X-Men: First Class made me sigh with content this morning. Well, seeing actor James McAvoy will do that to me any time of the day, but I especially like to see the art department’s theme work and the characters of Professor Charles Xavier and Magento (before he [...]
Level E and .hack//Quantum Endings, First few Spring Animes: Otaku Trauma
The second two series I watched this past anime season, Level E and .hack//Quantum, are finished and watched and digested. I was rather pleased with how both turned out, though there was a storyline I wish they could have shown in Level E from the manga. Plus my thoughts on X-Men the anime and Steins;Gate episodes [...]
