Issue 24: T'was the Podcast Before Christmas

  1. I have to agree with Sean about Cyclops, this ass is like Magneto at his worse but scummier since he uses children for frontline combat. Seriously editorial has turned Cyclops, Charles Xavier's son in all but name, into Magneto right down to the disregard for non-mutant life. I mean he set-up camp in the middle of one of the most densely populated in America for no logical reason and even before that he cared so little about the lives of the depowered students he let them easily be killed off or just let wander off. (Also fuck Kyle and Yost for their piss poor writing ability, good job slapnuts your guy's lasting impact on comics will be cheap death and putting boobs on Wolverine.) Also what id with all the dinosaur killing he does now, he goes out of his just go kill stuff that is fucked up. The real problem is that the crap editors actually want us to side with such shit.

    Axel Alonso is a horrible fucking editor: he changes direction every six months, lines up horrible writers and artists (Way, Land & Portacio), plus when ever the guy speaks it pisses me off. An interview he did over at CBR made me drop Uncanny X-Men. Plus his and Brevoort's continued failure regarding Marvel's stance on price cuts has made me lose interest in the entire Marvel line. Come February I am down to Generation Hope as my only remaining Marvel title. What needs to happen is for Disney to come in and clean house with marketing, editorial, and sales departments. Sorry ever since this summer Marvel has just been pissing me off, canceling X-Men Forever doesn't help. Which is bullshit since they took it off their subscription service after the end of Volume 1, where it was doing rather well, and replaced them with ones for that piece of shit vampire book.

    On cartoon front I have to suggest Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated, which is honestly a well written, wry, and witty series. Actually on a whole Warner Bros. Animation is back in form after that rough pack a few years ago. As for Young Justice, I am willing to bet that by end of this season or the start of the next Zatanna is going to join. I say this because otherwise the prominence of Zatara is highly out of place.

  2. Scoobey Doo MysterInc is a great cartoon. Scoobey and the gang are very popular with my daughters and I love the shows too. SDMI is a nice blend of humor and dialogue that goes over their heads and hits home with me.

    I noticed Zatara and imeadiately leapt to the idea that the team would be getting some fishnets soon... I am so Ok with that.

    Thanks for watching.

  3. Yeah saw that still doesn't mean this is anyway a good idea. I just want to read about mutant superheroes again, not these separatist, survivalist assholes. I would take a Marvel Adventures X-Men series right now, just stop with all this "mutant army against the world" bullshit. The AoA wasn't this depressing.
