Despite what I had previously posted, here I am yet again with a few thoughts to share to probably no one in particular. Still, I've not written (typed) all that much in ages and I feel that 'itch' to write, share and just clear my mind a little bit.
It really has been far too long...
In the time away, I've gotten back into comics quite a bit and maybe even more so now then ever before. With that said, I've been loosely following the Avengers vs X-Men storyline, just staying with it kind of enough to know what was going on (I am tempted to pick up the collected edition). But the stuff that has been coming up since that story ended has really caught my interest.
Above all, is the pending story of the original 5 X-Men (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast and Angel) coming to the present day storyline and facing the world after the events of AvX. More shocking I think is the idea that Cyclops has changed so much since their younger years and since the events of AvX, that change has really taken a new twist for the worst (depending on how you look at it). On top of this, Jean in the present time is still dead. I'm sure that will be a shock to the system...
Aside from that, I've been picking up into the new stuff in the Marvel NOW series. Deadpool seems to have a decent story, fitting and absurd as ever. I mean fighting and killing former dead presidents? That is pretty outlandish, but fitting for a babbling maniac such as Deadpool. I'm also liking Iron Man and Thor also, which is all new to me because I've never really ventured away from the X-Universe. Beyond those, I am looking forward to reading the new stuff for the Fantastic Four, Captain America and the Indestructible Hulk. All of those seem to have interest stories to tell.
