You may remember last month when I wrote an article explaining how I had done a deep dive into books that, allegedly, featured my favorite comic book heroine, Jubilation Lee of the X-Men. Its ended up being a mixed bag of an affair. Some of the comics I bought featured her heavily, others barely utilized her at all. But hey: at least I got some … Continue reading So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books Again…
Devotees of SWO Productions may remember that my absolute favorite comic book character–my favorite fictional character at all, mind you–is Jubilee of the X-Men. I’ve written about her before, and I have reviewed so many comics that feature her. And in her history, she’s been honestly kind of everywhere. X-Books, obviously (so many different ones, from Uncanny X-Men through mini-series books like X-Tremists and Dead … Continue reading So I Bought A Bunch Of Comic Books This Week…
There was a lull—a dark age, if you will—in comics for a lot of the very late 1990’s to the mid-2010’s. People don’t talk about it much, but it was a terrible time for the industry. There were some good products here or there, but largely, there was a substantial vacuum. You see, during that timeframe, it was nigh impossible to find Jubilee appearing consistently … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: X-Tremists
Reena from the Better Call Daddy podcast is here this episode to discuss this long-forgotten TV movie from the mid-1990’s. It was a pilot that never got picked up, but how was Generation X and how does it hold up in 2024? For more from Better Call Daddy, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 113: Generation X
I spent Saturday filling in some holes in my Jubilee collection. I got the first two trades of New Warriors (volume 4) from her time as Wondra. I always knew that existed, but just never sought it out for whatever reason. I wasn’t sure how big of a role she has in it, but she is arguably the main character. I also picked up volumes two and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Jubilee
I’ve been a fan of Leah Williams ever since her X-Tremists run a few years ago. That was a five issue mini-series during the X-Books’ “Age Of X-Man” storyline where Nate Grey had reshaped reality in his image. It saw a group of mutants working as a police force to arrest other mutants, and it gave us the love story I never knew I needed: … Continue reading X-Terminators 2022 Review
Ha, this was probably funnier in my head. “For my 50th article, I’ll review Generation X as a celebration! And then, just two weeks later, I’ll declare that for a weekly article, volume 52 is ALSO a celebration, and then I’ll do Generation X… volume 2! Haha whacky hijnx!” It was an idea that I thought of and got married to when I was too … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Generation X by Christina Strain
Comic book sales! Wait, is something a “sale” if it happens every day? Or is that just a discount? How does that… what is the difference? Whatever, I’m going to call it a sale. My favorite local shop runs a perpetual sale where if you buy at least 50 back issue comics, you get 50% the total price. I’ve always been enticed by the idea, … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Curse Of The Mutants
Fifty! See, this is why I number these things; so I can feel irrationally proud of myself for hitting arbitrary milestones. But yep, I have been at this for 50 volumes so far. Hopefully you have enjoyed most of them as much as I have enjoyed reading them. I do get a kick out of this series; I have reread some books I love, and … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Generation X by Scott Lobdell
As I write this, my cat is chewing on the HDMI cable to the television. I mean… I don’t LET him. I stomp and yell at him, and he stops for a second and looks at me, but he just goes right back to it once I stop glaring at him. It’s a really weird behavior, as he is almost three years old, I had … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: X-23 – Chaos Theory
It’s weird that it’s taken so long to get here. A hundred-plus comic reviews. Dozens upon dozens of articles on the genre. Lists of all sorts. And I’ve never just sat down and written up a list of my ten favorite comic book characters? That’s not entirely true. On the Ghosts of the Stratosphere podcast, there is a “lost” episode that will never air. It … Continue reading Top Ten: Favorite Comic Book Heroes

I feel like this will be a very short discussion this portion of the month, as I could probably just plug in “I played Fallout 4, like, A LOT” and be done with it. Why did I not play more of that game way back when I bought it? MOVIES After a movie-heavy start to the month, I really tapered off in the back half … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: September 2021, part 2
I’ve got two of these lists coming by the time Women’s History Month ends. I bet you can guess what the second might be. (I bet you can also guess, if you’ve ever paid attention to anything I’ve ever written, who #1 will be here. I’m nothing if not consistent!) I’ve long been a big fan of powerful female characters in comics, and not just … Continue reading Top Ten: Heroines of Marvel Comics
