I’m looking forward to the eventual storyline where he makes a deal with the devil for everyone to forget this reveal in exchange for ending his marriage.

While you slept, the world changed. I haven’t reviewed any comics on this blog for a while, so today we’ll talk about Jonathan Hickman’s triumphant (so far) return to Marvel: House of X/Powers of X and the upcoming Dawn of X wave of books. Spoilers abound so be aware. Also while writing this I realized how absurd comic books must seem to nonreaders, but really that’s what makes it all fun!

It is not a continuity reset. But if you know who xavier and magneto are and know that mutants exist, tha should be the extent of background you need going into the book,

I know I already made a whole post about the MCU after Endgame came out, but after the MCU Phase 4 announcements this past weekend at SDCC I was a bit hyped. I thought it would be fun to look back at the past 10 years of MCU Phase 1-3 and see what I wrote about the movies. Iron Man (2008) Surprisingly, I had written nothing about watching this film at all, and I don’t remember going to the cinema to watch it.

Many of the manga series I used to follow from long ago have since ended, the only ones still running now are One Piece and Hajime no Ippo. So I thought I’d follow some newer ones. Here are some short reviews: The Promised Neverland I picked up this one due to a strong recommendation from someone I follow on social media. The premise starts out with some super smart kids who grew up in an orphanage without any knowledge of an outside world.

movie was pretty good, no major issues doesnt follow the typical MCU origin story ‘formula’ some weird pacing issues in a few places, but that just might be because of the chosen story direction lots of little call-outs and tie-ins to the other MCU movies (although I feel like they could have done a bit more in some spots) I am not a cat person. But if you are a cat person, you might like this: there is a cat.

It’s Spider-Man week on ireadcomicbooks! During the DC/Marvel Amalgam crossover, Spider-Man got crossed over with… Superboy? I always felt like Spider-Man got a poor deal here given how popular he was, he should have at least gotten an adult to cross over with! At least he retained the hyphen! Cover by Mike Wieringo

Some Youtube channels I’ve been enjoying recently: ComicTropes is a weekly show that does deep dives into various mainstream comics titles, and often includes the background history of characters and creators, so very interesting stuff for comic book nerds. GameMaker’s ToolKit talks about video game level design topics. His series “Boss Keys” does a deep dive into Zelda dungeons and analyzes them based on criteria like linearity. His level design analyses are strongly based on systems and gameplay and how they affect the player experience.

I was at the mall last week and I decided to watch the new Bumblebee movie (it came out late over here because reasons). Here’s my spoiler-free review. As the link says, I’ve been a big fan of Transformers since I was a kid, so I thought I’d talk about that for a bit. The 1980s cartoon obviously, though I think only the first two seasons of that aired on local TV.

X-Factor #92 cover by Joe Quesada. This is one of my favorite covers of all time (despite the hologram), but I can no longer find my physical copy of it, not sure if I sold it off before. More annoying is that the Marvel Unlimited version of this issue does not include the wraparound cover! The above image is sourced from http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/X-Factor_Vol_1_92

See that guy named Winter on the 2nd inside page? I remember reading this issue back in the 90s and wondering wth he was doing, it was never explained (in this issue)
