MAJOR SPOILERS DISCUSSION
Grant Morrison’s New X-Men Volume 1
Sixteen million mutants dead – and that was just the beginning! In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century, masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel’s mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes – replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match.

Stephen Strange is getting his own series, merely titled “STRANGE”, and unfortunately penned by Mark Waid, whose Marvel work I have always found lacked lustre.
Rodrigo’s review discussion was some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever heard. You guys are great. Keep it up.
Kordey had one week to draw 22 pages >_>
The second half of the run has better art. Each arc changes artists, but at least they don’t change artists during the MIDDLE of the arc.
I really hope you guys do the other two hardcovers. This is probably one of my favorite runs ever.
No no. Everyone knows that the Jetsons takes place the same time as The Flinstones. It’s just in that time the rich erected houses far above the skyline to get away from the brutish poor. That’s why there is such a technology and class rift between the two, as well as talking dinosaurs.
first time listener.
Liked the reviews and the sillyness.
dude!
as an adult, I have been able to follow archie comics for 20 years,
because of the end aisle last minute marketing.
