from the X-Axis:
NEW AVENGERS #20 - Worth mentioning because it actually attempts to
explain away the Xorn mess. Unfortunately, it doesn’t explain it in a remotely comprehensible fashion, and Joe Quesada’s attempt to explain the story over at Newsarama just makes matters worse, because his explanation certainly doesn’t seem to match the story Brian Bendis appears [...]

In Defense Of… Quicksilver
June 29, 2006 – 12:39 am
I like Quicksilver. I think he’s one of the most underused story hooks to exist in the Marvel Universe. There is so much already there that you don’t have to change, just talk about. In fact, he’d almost make a better DC character, considering their attention to legacy. And I have [...]
All You Need to Know: New Avengers #21
June 29, 2006 – 12:07 am
Another New Avengers, go fig. I guess the ‘Disassembling’ is this whole Superhero Registration Act and that the slap dash group of heroes they put in the book don’t.. really think alike. Especially when one of them is a megalomaniac in denial. Who knew they wouldn’t all just get along like marketing [...]
Way Short, Maybe Sweet - Reviews for 6/28
June 27, 2006 – 11:40 pm
Well, I didn’t really get all my notes ready as I got hit with the fangirl stick and have dedicated my online time to finding the latest Doctor Who episodes on the BBC. Thanks, Sci Fi, for giving me something new to go berserk over (seriously, guys, this is some fine old school [...]
Big Ol’ Batwoman
June 22, 2006 – 4:03 pm
So, I already said the ‘OMG BATWOMAN IS A LESBIAN’, check. Have I posted the same picture everyone and their mom has? Lemme see here…
yep! There she is. All Batwomany and Lesbiany and boy do I have nothing to say on this. I mean, we know she was romantically linked to Montoya, she’s a high [...]
X-Edit
June 22, 2006 – 3:33 pm
So I had this crazy scheme waaaay back in December it seems for why I don’t buy anymore X-Men books. Why I read them with the wince of a beaten Tina, wondering if the next issues going to be a fur coat and an apology or another kick in the stomach. I like [...]
X-Edit: Complicating Matters Further
June 22, 2006 – 3:26 pm
Q: page 8 - 9) Whose job is it in the creation of a comic book to look for continuity within THAT very issue? Namor, Charles, and a couple of others all hold up one hand on Page 8, but the 1st panel of Page 9 shows them holding up the other hand. Likewise [...]
All You Need to Know: New Avengers #20
June 21, 2006 – 11:18 pm
I read New Avengers #20 today because I didn’t have to pay for it. And I have noticed a really bad pattern.
House of M? A hook, way too many issues coasting through the hook, then an answer and resolution within 5-6 pages at the end of the mini making you wonder if Bendis [...]

So.
Where have YOU been, young lady?
Just when I figured I hit the big time, just when FREAKIN’ NEWSARAMA picked up a little ol’ article BY ME to use in their spiffy new blog, just when 300 PEOPLE come by to see what Snap Judgments is this… this, ladies and gentlemen, is when Real Life reared [...]
My Fur Coat
I get so frustrated with the EIC at Marvel and then he puts things like this in his latest Joe Fridays:
Man. It’s not that I don’t think that Quesada’s job isn’t hard and that he’s an evil evil man and all that but… can’t we just give this man a well-earned vacation and go [...]
