I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Uncanny X-Men First Class #7 - Marvel
I'm still not thrilled with this book. This issue wraps up the Knights of Hykon story-line, so . . I think I'll call it quits after this one. I know this is basically just a rehashing of the stories from the original Uncanny X-Men title, but . . I guess I just don't see the reason, or need for the rehashing. Most of the major story-lines are out in TPB form now, so . . what's the point. I appreciate that Scott Gray is trying bring the story-lines up to date . . give them more of a 'current' feel, but . . it's all ancient history. I'm sorry. I don't want to just sit here and keep ragging on the book. I think that Scott is trying his best, as is Scott Koblish and Nelson DeCastro. But . . they can only have so much artistic license in interpreting these stories. They can put little nuances and things into it, but . . at the same time they have to stay pretty true to the original. So I imagine they don't have a lot of freedom. And that's got to be torture to a creator. Anyways, my freedom as a consumer is to pick the items I wish to spend my money on. I think I've given this title more than a fair shake, so . . it's time to cut my losses. I'd hate to overlook a book that I may enjoy simply because I'm spending my money on something I don't.
