Yes, Will. I’m going to review checkers.

Heh. Well, I’m not going to switch format, but Print Books will definitely become a recurring theme, like games.

Speaking of which, I’ve got a game that needs review.

It’s what did the same for me. I hadn’t read super books since sometime around the founding of Image and the Abjectiveless X-Men. I admit that manga took a lot of my attention away, but after reading through my university roommate’s 90s collection in university a few years ago, I was dismayed to see how it all got worse.

Then someone told me “Hey, The Doom Patrol guy is doing X-Men” and I was like “Really? I better check that shit out.” and then I was like “Damn! I actually want to read more”

Then I didnt really follow up on it cuz I was broke.

Then I moved to Korea. Now I can only buy one or two of the trades.

Phil, this is the longest comments thread you’ve ever had. Maybe you should switch to discussing print.

I have to give you Morrison Era X-Men, Will. That was the shit that got me back into comic books after 5 years of being AWOL.

Anti-Morrison era X-Men? Now that’s just crazy talk.

eeeuch. Fanboyism. Obsession over the things you buy. That’s just a bit crazy. Like Jeffery Dahmer crazy, not Hunter S Thompson crazy. Consumerism gone mad.

Craziness all around.

Ah, I know how you feel. This is why I left Marvel in the late 1990’s: they started the process of breaking my heart.

And I want to stab the fucking White Queen in the EYE with a FORK. Fucking no talent team ruining bitch. ::growl:: NO BUSINESS being there. Oh, and I HATED Frank Quitely’s art. Bleah.

The end.

And the webcomics line was genius. ::loud applause::

The (real) end!

-A!

And that’s where I’m arguing from, entirely in the fanboy camp. My feelings have nothing to do with the success and standing of Marvel Entertainment, only how I feel about what they’re doing to my beloved universe.
