That's actually a great point that I completely missed. But yeah, you're completely right, the woman, the crowd, it was all totally stereotypical. <br /><br />The thing that bugs me about Gen Hope is that I REALLY want to like this series, I've always had an affinity for the various teenage X-books, but I just haven't warmed to Hope or any of the "Lights". Maybe I will eventually, but for now? No deal.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-30969398198013123562011-05-29T07:28:02.298-04:002011-05-29T07:28:02.298-04:00I didn't like Generation Hope either.

I can get that they are special because being the first new mutants for months but why do their powers make them special? They had active X-Genes at unusual ages before, just as rampant powers.<br />In addition I had hoped that they would at least trey to depict another country truthfully. But this was ... crap, I have no nicer word for it. Of course the pregnant woman was blond and all the people where white and of light hair-color. This is so lame, if you would use a power like the baby's you would get a much more colourful crowd in Berlin these days and most of them would have brown or black hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-47956422772932253602011-05-26T01:13:11.073-04:002011-05-26T01:13:11.073-04:00oh man that's too funny someone else bustin yo...oh man that's too funny someone else bustin your balls about that video! i'm glad to see Jason Todd isn't dead after all. and he's from Detroit Mich. where i was born cause i'm the goddamn Juggernaut bitch!Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-59601776101189986192011-05-25T01:21:41.010-04:002011-05-25T01:21:41.010-04:00The important thing is that I'm catching up! :...The important thing is that I'm catching up! :D You know how behind the times I am...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-75313485480114843762011-05-25T01:13:29.395-04:002011-05-25T01:13:29.395-04:00Lol yes, I did. but you know how you are with vide...Lol yes, I did. but you know how you are with videos.

Pal's dealing with all sorts of personal and professional issues now. should be interesting how this plays out.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-79811854117155472452011-05-23T12:32:06.493-04:002011-05-23T12:32:06.493-04:00Hmm......

You know what, I think when I hit the comic store om Wednesday I'll see if I can grab issues #2-7. Sure the Puppet Master reveal chased me away after issue #1, but what the hell, I'll give it another shot! <br /><br />I've got to be honest with you, I hardly ever check that gmail account, since it's usually PACKED with comments from the blogs. I did check it just now, and didn't see anything new from you... But then I had over 4,000 e-mails there, so I just spent like 20 mins deleting about 2000 of them. So if you want to try to send that cartoon parody out to me again, I'd def appreciate it... Your best bet is to say, "Hey X, you idiot, CHECK you e-mail!!!" That usually gets my attention!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-48253855350069194682011-05-23T02:25:58.816-04:002011-05-23T02:25:58.816-04:00sigh . .alright i sent it again tonight. by the wa...sigh . .alright i sent it again tonight. by the way, i just read Hero for Hire #7. it was hella good! Spiderman made some Star Wars references that cracked me up. there was also a great sequence in a cab where this driver describes Paladin as being a C-list hero. it was some really good stuff. man i wish you would have stuck with it.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-54761106315788837092011-05-22T12:45:52.025-04:002011-05-22T12:45:52.025-04:00I'm actually in the "Vampire Jubilee is g...I'm actually in the "Vampire Jubilee is good!" category. It really DOES give Jubes some extra depth, and with the whole vampire craze, hopefully it'll get her some attention. I mean before the vampire thing she didn't even have her powers, and to be honest, even when she did have powers they weren't much! I didn't, Dave... What's that all about?<br /><br />No problemo, Lisha! While this issue of X-23 wasn't my fav or anything, I'd still recommend the series. This one though...

I recently reread a bunch of Generation X comics (and posted a review of the trade on my blog!) and they made me remember just how much I enjoyed her character in the mid-'90s. I understand why no one has really been able to do much with her in the last decade, because really, she's a relic of the '90s...but turning her into a vampire to try to make people care about her again is tacky in my opinion.<br /><br />Also, WTF at that Generation Hope scan. It looks like Teon wants to eat the baby!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-46781475920874255462011-05-22T10:37:48.323-04:002011-05-22T10:37:48.323-04:00Heeey X!!

But alas, Falisha Ann is here. <br /><br />And *sigh* I'm sad to hear about this issue of X-23 being a bit on the meh side. From your reviews your series is doing soo good up until now. lol. And although I don't know much about X-23, I would think that being somewhat like Wolverine, she couldn't die that easily. So, as you stated, what was the point? It sounds like it was an okay issue as you also stated, but I'm also kind of glad to see something this stale didn't happen til a little bit into the series. Because had this been the first issue, I probably would've been turned off from the series. <br /><br />But as always great reviewing X. ^_^Falisha Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298555562761767317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-21314454901418552752011-05-22T04:04:22.733-04:002011-05-22T04:04:22.733-04:00i actually like this concept of the vampire Jubile...i actually like this concept of the vampire Jubilee. it gives the character some much needed extra dimension. she got off a good wise crack once in a while but other then that she never did much for me back in the 90s. <br />hey Nate did you ever get that X-Men parody cartoon with the Juggernaut?Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.com
