Superman
and
and
and
Uncanny X-Men 500
I also got the first Morrison New X-Men Trade.
OK Folks if you know me at all then you know I am not a fan of team books nor am i a fan of Marvel or of things in marvel that are laden with huge amounts of continuity.
So why did i pick this book up? Well my good bud Kevin is a X-man guy and i love talking comics with him so this gives me something to talk about. One of my listeners, Becca, is also an x-geek. so I would like more to talk about with her. Plus she is going to give DC a shot so i feel it is only fair.
This book was written By Bru and Fraction and drawn by Greg land.
The art was really good. I am a big fan of Greg Land and feel that he is too criticized among the fanboy community. The only problem that I had with the art is sometimes when Land is drawing characters into the background he sometimes leaves off their faces. C'mon man you want to leave some details off a building OK but Faces are a little important, especially when you are drawing a character whose powers are in His eyes.
The writing was great, if you know Bru and fraction (and by know i mean heard interviews with) then you can kind of tell who is writing which character. Cyclops is all Fraction. The wit, the humor, it was almost like listening to Matt on a panel.
The thing that was great about this book is that even though it is #500 it is a great starting point. I didn't feel like i was missing out on anything having not read anything really before this. The characters were well introduced and the villains were very well placed. I know some of you(kevin) had a problem with way that Scotty boy was characterized. Sorry if he had a little personality now but this is something that always drew me away from the book, now i have a character that i can like (god help you Bendis if you make him a skrull).
So i am on for at least three more issues, but i may need your help Kevin and Becca, if things get caught up in continuity I may have questions.
Talk to y'all later,
TJ
