Comic Book Review: Captain America #750

A nice milestone hodgepodge for The First Avenger making it 3/4 of the way to the biggie that only Superman and Batman have reached so far.

Comic Book Review: X-Men: Before the Fall – Heralds of Apocalypse

X-Men: Before the Fall – Heralds of Apocalypse deals with a character canonically older than civilization so a little backstory is justified even for the most ardent comic heads. It was OVER a millennium ago, 1986 ’twas, that the X-Men were roaring along so hard under Chris Claremont that Marvel decided to dip into the well again and break off the original X-Men (Cyclops, Angel, Beast, etc.) into a new team book of their own and leave the new kids of Storm and Wolverine and everybody to play by themselves…
