1. Today I was using twitter to talk to many people at one time, and I said that people who use to read and enjoy the X-Books, but left them for whatever reason, should really consider jumping back on with the Messiah compleX sotry that just came to a close. One person sent me an @message asking why now was a good time.
Rather than say something I’m going to quote this great email from someone who listened to comicology 113 today.
As for Messiah Complex, I was a big X fan in the late 80’s and early 90’s, until Age of Apocalypse made me give up all together, and Messiah Complex is what has brought me back on board with the X-men. It was a great story, well told by 4 different authors yet with seemingly one voice. And for an old X fan such as myself, I didn’t feel as if I’d lost years and years of continuity. Everything was close enough to the way I left it years ago that it was more like putting on a nice comfortable pair of shoes that you had thought lost and had recently found the back of the closet.
I think that is one of the best ways to articulate why a person who use to be a fan of the X-Books should be jumping back on.
2. Also, Freakangles part three came out on Friday, everyone should be reading it.
3. I want there to be a way I can read digital comics (.CBR and .CBZ files) on my iPhone. Does anyone know of a way to make that possible?
4. March is now here, which means that soon there will be new BSG to watch! This makes me happy.
However, today my cable went out… If I miss BSG my cable company will have one angry customer (who has checked to make sure that the bill was paid, and paid on time) to deal with.
5. Going to be heading out to San Diego on March 6th. Anyone who reads the blog / listens to the show in that area? If so shoot me a email.
