A vs X

Just more "big event" gimmicks, more "hero vs hero" business, and basically just more of the same. That being said, I'm totally gonna read every issue. And I know a lot of people hate him, but I LOVE pragmatic militaristic Cyke. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd love to see the rest of the Marvel U take him seriously after he beats down Cap.

(From Uncanny X-Men #1, by Kieron Gillen and Carlos Pacheco)

I've agreed with that statement since I was nine years old. It will be cool to see him finally back it up with some good ol' @$$ kicking. We'll find out next April.

Blackest Friday

Did some early shopping at Best Buy a little more than 24 hours ago. There were some pretty good deals, but not the strongest showing. We were at the back of the line when they opened the doors, but we got in fairly quickly. Not fast enough to grab Modern Family Season 2 for $8.99, which is a total shame. Thought we managed to snag Alice in Wonderland on Bluray for $10, but it was the Tim Burton version (one of the few films I've walked out on), so that kinda sucks. We got some nifty Christmas presents for our friends though, but I can't say what on the off chance that someone actually reads this. A long shot, but you can't be too careful. 

For those of you interested in all things comic book, there are also some really good online deals that I found via the always excellent ComicsAlliance, and they are here:

The Christmas season is always tough on me because I have to constantly fight the urge to by awesome stuff for myself. Like the Astonishing X-Men by Whedon & Cassaday Omnibus HC for only $37.50!!! If I only had the extra cash.
