Apropos with Monday's Link of the Day. And also why it's become harder and harder to read X-Men.

These immortals dont grow old yet they have this repetitive lives with repetitive nemesis. I cant imagine the end of them, yet I cant imagine "X-Men Forever and Ever" series when I've got kids.
Ive got to have the old comic books and let my kids read them instead. Uncanny is the real X-Men story for me. Origins et al is just the alternate reading. They've got good new-age drawings though.
But then my kids will read my old Superman and Superboy comics. Thats what I have anyway. Go DC!
