Welcome to Litsy!

Stitching together decades of the original X-Men adventures into one cohesive story, this project certainly sparked my interest. However, the execution leaves a stuttering narrative with no room for the events to breathe.
Possibly could have worked if expanded, but then you could always just read reprints of the original issues.

The third volume of Piskor's simplified and consolidated retelling of the X-Men's convoluted and lengthy history presented in a decidedly "indie" style is, yet again, far more fresh and entertaining than it has any right to be.

Whether you're an initiated X-fan or a new-comer to Marvel's mighty Mutants or simply a fan of fabulous, quirky comics with an indie feel, X-Men: Grand Design cannot be missed.

Ha!

I'm not sure how much of this Silver Age material is stuff Piskor reworked to streamline it and how much is stuff I've plain forgot. It's been a couple years since I read early X-Men, and to be honest it's mostly worth forgetting. The best thing in the whole Silver Age is the time Magneto uses his magnetic personality to hypnotize Angel's parents.

Magnets really can do anything.

Another week; another brand new X-book on for $0.99. DAMMIT, comiXology.

I bought the first half of this sweeping recap during a previous $0.99 sale and hoped the rest of it would eventually turn up for the same price. Now here we are.

Here is a sneak peak at some books coming out tomorrow. I cannot recommend Exit Stage Left highly enough. It‘s Snagglepuss as Tennessee Williams and it is WONDERFUL.
