: X-Men Binge
I binged on X-men last night.
I haven't read X-men recently at all, and I decided it was high time to spend half my pay on graphic novels. So Idecided to compare Ultimate and New. Ultimate was good. Solid. Fun. New - New was good in a satisfying manner. Ultimate brought home how soap opera and young X-men are, whilst New dealt with stuff. Adult stuff. But was also fun. I like Morrison here - he's being reigned in by an editor, who is telling him - go with the X but keep it readable. A bit like his fantastic run on JLA. Batty but readable. Ultimate wasn't as tasy.
To top all this off. I got a replacement for my Tale of One Bad Rat. My old work managed to chuck my signed ToOBR, Hardcover Dreamhunters and V for Vendetta into the rubbish, so I am slowly replacing them. So I got the limited edition hardcover Tale. Isn't it good working in a comic shop.
