This is a collection of my posts from X, my main social and the first place I post everything. You’ll find video game guides, comics, fiction, my writing and author updates, and other topics I cover.
4,845 posts are available here. Each entry keeps the original wording and links back to X.
Lately I've largely been talking about X-Men because that was one of the main things I was reading, but I'm going to start incorporating my thoughts, news, feedback, and talking points on a lot of different comic series. I'm only going to b...
All right I'm back on Grimm Fairy Tales. I've finished up all the stuff for Hell Child and all the stuff for Red Agent, including the Island of Dr. Moreau. I got all that finished. I'll post some thoughts about those later. Now I've got bac...
Okay, so having gone through Days of Future Past and Days of Future Present separately, I wanted to put them next to each other for a minute. Obviously, I've been reading a lot of X-Men and X-related titles, working through them chronologic...
Okay, so after talking about Days of Future Past, this is where I wanted to get into Days of Future Present, because having those two close together in a conversation brings up a lot more than just the names being similar. With the original...
Okay, so obviously I've been reading a lot of X-Men and X-related titles. I'm working through them chronologically, and two of the stories that stood out to me that I wanted to talk about were Days of Future Past and Days of Future Present....
https://t.co/1WTpQ8tGdr They finally added the ability to DELETE old archived items. At least to an extent. You still have to do them one at a time but it's better than nothing. For those that had privacy concerns, you can go to that URL wh...
9/9 Madison Jeffries stops the escape Courtney's attempt to recover Smart Alec turns Shaman's pouch inside out, releasing a spreading void. The trap has become dangerous to the people who set it, and Omega Flight flees. Jeffries stops the e...
8/9 The Guardian return is a second attack on Heather The return in #25 begins by offering Alpha Flight something they desperately want: Mac is alive. The explanation is elaborate. The explosion sent him across space and time; the Quwrlln s...
7/9 Flashback borrows from a future he still has to live Gardner Monroe can bring versions of his future self into the present. That gives Omega Flight numbers without requiring a roomful of separately recruited people. At the mall, the app...
6/9 Smart Alec finds something his intelligence cannot handle Alec Thorne's name announces exactly how he wants to be regarded. His intelligence is the reason he belongs among super-powered people, and he has very little patience for anyone...
5/9 Wild Child can talk, and that makes a difference Kyle Gibney supplies the claws, teeth and close-range aggression. In #12 he wounds Aurora, giving the first battle a nasty physical consequence beyond the machinery and energy blasts. The...
4/9 Diamond Lil is difficult to hurt, not impossible to beat Lillian Crawley's durability gives Omega Flight someone who can get close and stay there. Her own body is the protection. Even her hair can become a weapon. In the first fight, sh...
3/9 Delphine Courtney does the recruiting Courtney is doing far more than arranging appointments for Jaxon. She finds the recruits, brings them together and helps turn their resentment into something useful to him. The meeting in #11 is alr...
2/9 Jerry Jaxon and the stolen Box Jaxon has his own grievance against Mac, reaching back to their working relationship at Am-Can. He turns that private grudge into an operation big enough to threaten the whole team, using Roxxon's resource...
1/9 The people left behind by the Flight programme Omega Flight brings the unfinished business of Department H straight to James Hudson's door. These people were close enough to the superhero programme to know what they had missed out on. J...
6. Madison Jeffries belongs here, not in the original Box slot Madison is easy to put in the wrong place if you work backward from his later career. At this stage he is the Gamma member with an extraordinary ability to reshape machinery and...
5. Wild Child is already more than his claws Wild Child supplies the feral side of Gamma's roster, with claws, sharpened senses and the physical abilities to make him dangerous at close quarters. His appearance also shapes how the other cha...
4. Smart Alec wants to know everything Smart Alec's contribution is intelligence: rapid calculation, recall and an ability to process information far beyond most people. His later Omega equipment includes a large encephalo-helmet that gives...
3. Diamond Lil is difficult to hurt and difficult company Diamond Lil's name points to her durability. Lillian Crawley's body is protected against physical harm, making her an obvious person to consider for dangerous work. She is also much...
2. Marrina is the graduate who should not disappear from the list There is one qualification to any four-person Gamma roster: Marrina was there earlier. Alpha Flight #2 explains the route. She grows up with the Smallwoods in Newfoundland, a...
