Hey gang,

Apologies all around for the lack of a column last week. A combo platter of technical glitch and memory forgetatosis hit me and here we are. Me apologizing and all of you outside my house with torches and pitchforks. Wait, is that you guys or those other people? How about if I slide in the bulk of last week’s column with this week? Ok, and I’ll give you all a big shiny nickel!

To borrow a quote from a very wise man.

“Oh, crap.”

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #549

According to the teaser at the Marvel website this issue debuts the villain of the FIFTH Spider-Man movie, Menace!

ASTONISHING X-MEN #24

We’re almost at the end for Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men. The ride has been full of incredible surprises, fascinating character development and the types of delays that make me pull my hair out. This is the last issue of the series for Joss and John Cassaday but there will be a giant sized finale in February to finish up any dangling plotlines and give Joss one more chance to write Kitty Pride.

I look forward to seeing what Warren Ellis does with Astonishing later this year but I will look back at the Whedon issues as the reason I started to care about the X-Men again. I mean, he made Cyclops interesting. CYCLOPS!
