Gather Round, Children of the Atom… The X-Men are Returning
Probably the most interesting news out of the Sandiego ComicCon is the reveal of the upcoming X-Men ’97 animated series. Being an X-Men fan from the 70s, and up, when the series premiered in 1992, I was ecstatic. Sure, I was 22 excited for a cartoon, but it was well written and had plenty of […]

Marvel Studio’s The Eternals

There were a few random issues in my collection while growing up, and I recall the odd character or two showing up in other titles. What I do know is that they were created by the King, Jack Kirby and that […]
