I know, right? This totally should have scored under 5.

At least it did better than my last pick (Azrael #1). Even I didn't like that book!

It's a $4 comic so Punchy should be happy. If Punchy's happy, Twigg will be happy. It's not a Bendis comic so Old Man should be happy. It's doombug's pick so even if he hate's FW he'll pretend to be happy. Jude banned 4thy so Broken Frontier should be happy.

If anyone else has a problem, they should just stfu.

I can complain about it if you want since you asses are forcing me to go to a shop.

[Old Man]

yea, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you that me and spelling are not the best of friends.

Cool. I know a guy who can't spell. He runs a successful business, and has done so for nearly 20 years. He once had to ask his employee how to spell his own son's name.

HEY!

For the record, I did not start actively reading comics until late 2004,

Welcome, n00b.

I feel bad for the shop.

X-Men Forever #18

Yeah, I didn't hate this at all. It did take me back to a less dark time in the X-Men history and I enjoyed that. However, as with John Byrne, I've had the chance to meet Chris Clairmont and both have turned me off personally to the point that I have a hard time seperating the art from the artist.

It cracks me up that Clairmont told me that Scott was the most boring X-Men once and here I am reading a very Cyclopscentric story from him. I guess Summers is only boring to Chris when it's not Chris writing it.

I didn't see anything that makes me want to really join in on a monthly basis with this book, but I can't say the story wasn't enjoyable... it was. Not keen on the art, though.

Story: 7
Art: 4
My Score: 5.5

Back on your feet?

[Starlord]

Back on your feet?

no. still on my back. But it's getting better.

[guitarsmashley]

Shit sandwich.

/guitarsmashley'd

works for me.

Couldn't get the book.

[guitarsmashley]

Uh oh I got the book today. This means the score can still go lower.

[guitarsmashley]

Sorry Jude but that was awful. I think it was written by a retard who doesn't think people have been reading comics for the last 17 years...which is pretty much what I get from any claremont book...Dark Phoenix included which I still never finished because it was fucking boring. This issue was a horrible cliched mess of characters and story and the art was incredibly sub par.
