Out of the Vault – The New Wave
In 1986, Eclipse Comics was one of a few rising comics companies trying to make the leap from independent to major player. Marvel and DC were still dominating the market, of course, but Comico, First and Eclipse were all vying … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – X-Men First Class, Part 2
Sorry this is late, but, you know (ETA: Wow, so lateness is not an excuse for not proofreading, apparently; corrections added throughout). Continuing our look back at the final (so far) film in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men series, X-Men First … Continue reading
Out of the Vault – The New Mutants
By 1983, the X-Men had become one of the top sellers for Marvel, so they naturally did what any company wanting to make even more money would do. They created a spin-off. The new series would be called The New … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – X-Men First Class
We’ve arrived at the final film (so far) in the X-Men series, X-Men: First Class. This was apparently first contemplated as another X-Men Origins movie, like that Wolverine travesty, this time focusing on Magneto. But it was expanded to include … Continue reading

This was a bear to edit (trying different software), but I think they’re getting better. I have the next video in the series planned, but after that, I don’t have anything set. If there’s a topic you’d like to see … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Moving on to the next title in our recap of the X-Men movie series. After the critical disappointment of X-Men: The Last Stand, it was apparent the series had lost its creative momentum, so someone decided the next move should … Continue reading
Out of the Vault – Wolverine
Sorry for the late update. I had trouble deciding which title to cover until late in the process, because I wasn’t sure if I would get hold of tomorrow’s movie in time. So in the early 80’s, two of the … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – X-Men: The Last Stand, Pt. 3
We have somehow survived to the final segment of X-Men: The Last Stand. And I would like to stop being angry at the movie long enough to say that I understand where a lot of these problems are coming from. … Continue reading
