Uncanny X-Men 1 review

It’s been a while since we’ve had a series titled Uncanny X-Men, and even when we last had that, it wasn’t the flagship X-Men series. In the meantime, it’s easy to feel that the X-Men franchise has become overly large … Continue reading

X-Men Red 1 review

If you look at my X-Men team book reviews over the last couple of years, you’ll notice that they all have something in common. It’s been a while since I’ve consistently enjoyed any one X-Men team book. Some of them … Continue reading

X-Men Movies 10 – X-Men: Apocalypse

X-Men Apocalypse. So this movie exists. 20th Century Fox announced X-Men Apocalypse in December of 2013, about half a year before Days of Future Past released. With a movie franchise this large that’s fairly normal these days, but back when … Continue reading

X-Men Movies 3 – X2: X-Men United

Usually when I wrote these posts about Disney movies I’d seen before, I talked about my first time viewing it. Yet I didn’t do that with 2000’s X-Men. Why? Because I actually saw X2 first, and then watched X-Men after … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 12 review

From what I’ve heard, Uncanny X-Men’s Apocalypse Wars tie-in was pretty good. I know that All-New X-Men’s 3-issue arc did a great job exploring Apocalypse’s childhood in ways we haven’t seen before, while also giving Evan a lot to think … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 11 review

So there are three Apocalypse Wars tie-ins going on right now in the X-Men franchise. From what I’ve heard, Uncanny X-Men’s is really good, but I stopped reading it after issue 2 because Cullen Bunn’s writing wasn’t enough to offset … Continue reading

Extraordinary X-Men 7 review

7 issues in and I’m still not sure how I feel about Extraordinary X-Men. The first 4 were so dark and depressing that I nearly dropped the title, even if there was nothing terrible about the writing itself. Issue 5 … Continue reading
