pullbox special edition: X-Men line info from C2E2

onefinemess | April 19, 2010

There was a bunch of X-Men related news at C2E2 this weekend, so here’s an even more condensed version of what’s up at CBR. X-Force to end and relaunch.  Sounds like “Wolverine’s X-Men” meets Secret Warriors.  Teaser image below. The guy on the right looks clearly to be Fantomex, it’s suggested in the article that [...]

Old Man Logan finale, finally

onefinemess | September 23, 2009

Wow, that was a bucket of stupid poured all over a pile of pig manure wasn’t it? I mean.  Making Banner and She-hulk into inbred hillbillies… what’s Millar’s thing with inbred hillbillies anyway?  (Remember the killer pony inbred hillbilly from Authority?  …it’s basically the same thing here, except easily killed by Wolverine, and dozens of [...]

Marvel is turning into SNL…and other Comic Notes

onefinemess | August 27, 2009

re: Dark X-Men : The Beginning 3: Once upon a time, a great creative team made Jean Grey interesting as the Phoenix, then killed her, ending that arc wonderfully.  Then Marvel thought it would be fun to do again, and again, and again.  Each time it is less interesting, and more likely to make me [...]

Power Man & Iron Fist: fathers of biracial children for hire

onefinemess | June 30, 2009

& other assorted comics chatter: Iron Fist 27: Yes, Danny Rand/Iron Fist will also be a father soon, following in his perennial buddy, Luke Cage/Power Man’s footsteps.  Also of note, and implied by my goofy title, is that the mother of said child (and soon to be wife of Danny) is Misty Knight.  Now.  This [...]

Greg Land strikes again!

onefinemess | April 30, 2009

W T F? That’s Lady Deathstrike. With 8 claw penises piercing Wolvy from behind. Uh hu.  It looks like he might be kind of enjoying it though. SERIOUSLY.  Does every face Greg Land traces have to come from porn??? Every single one? And why is she straddling him?  She wouldn’t even have the leverage to [...]

Wolverine Origins 33 – Are they really going to “kill” Wolverine?

onefinemess | February 25, 2009

Huh?  I’ll get to that in a minute.  First: What’s better than Wolverine?  Wolverine with Admantium (TM) claws! What’s better than that? A younger, hipper, more violent/troubled/sexy Wolverine with claws made of the metal of the most powerful/magical sword in the Marvel Universe (sort of, not counting the Soulsword and whatever any other random author [...]

Wolverine: Manifest Destiny

onefinemess | February 11, 2009

was really dumb. Especially the ending.  It was a lot like all those cheesy movies with the one white guy who becomes the kung fu master without ever learning how to properly pronounce “kung fu” (although I’m sure Wolverine could at least do that)  – and does 95% of their learning in montages and flashbacks. [...]

Wolverine 70 was really depressing

onefinemess | January 2, 2009

duh, right? (Neverminding that what happened prrrooobbbbably couldn’t actually happen, given standard comic logic and past situations involving characters dealing with someone messing with their mind, as well as the fact that the other X-Men should be able to take down Wolverine – or at least knock him a distance away from the fray.) What’s [...]

05/15/08 – quick thoughts

onefinemess | May 15, 2008

Wolverine 65 – “Get Mystique” finale..wow who didn’t see that lame ass/cop-out ending coming from ohh…since the arc was announced? Stupid. Ultimate X-Men 93 – Umm. OK. Sure, whatever. Things are reset almost to ground zero – the professor’s legs are broken again?? What the fucking hell? Did Kirkman un-break them then re-break just to [...]

01/09/08 – Venoms, attaaaaack!

onefinemess | January 10, 2008

Uncanny X-Men 494 And don’t forget “Baaaaad Bishop, no donut!” We find out why one of the alternate futures is important (but not the other, still nothing from it yet? I wonder if it’s Cable’s future? That’s my guess anyway). Lots of talking, and more whining about Caliban again, who really should have known better. [...]
