Cuz it’s high time they go after the lucrative stay-at-home Dad market.

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Opening Scene — Now This Is Bloody Brilliant!
Using non-stop action and next-to-no dialogue, this brief clip reacquaints viewers with Iceman, Colossus and Kitty Pryde, while simultaneously introducing us to FOUR new mutants — Warpath, Blink, Sunspot and Bishop. Exciting stuff! I am so looking forward to this flick!

I’m conflicted.
About these mash-ups, I mean.
On the one hand, artist James Zark has combined two things I’ve LOVED since I was a kid: Punk rock and X-Men. On the other hand, seeing them plastered on everything from t-shirts to tote bags to coffee mugs feels a bit…off.
X-Men is all about individuality, right? And a big part of punk rock was the idea of not “selling out.” So mashing them together and then merchandising them indiscriminately — I can’t be the only one who finds it a li’l ironic, can I?
I can?
Damn.

Tumblr’s Top Comics Talk
Nightwing commutes between Blüdhaven and Gotham. Aquaman splits his time between the ocean floor and the Hall of Justice. Me? I spend every other hour toggling back and forth between the wide open plains of the World Wide Web and the dank, darkened confines of Tumblr.
Why?
Cuz while the internet likes to think of itself as erudite and enlightened, Tumblr is unapologetic in its nerdiness and navel-gazing. It’s a lot like a comic book shop in that way. And just like a comic book shop, if you browse around long enough, you’re bound to come across something that — for better or worse — you would have NEVER seen anywhere else.
Here are a few of the better bits I happened upon this week.

X-Men: Days of Future Past — Trailer & Pics
At last — the first official trailer to Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past! While very little *new* info can be gleaned from this trailer, it’s nice to once again see mutants crying, Xavier whispering regrets, and Hugh Jackman gripping his head in…what? Pain? Frustration? In order to make his hair do that cowlick-on-the-sides-thing?
Whatever it is, I’m loving it. ALL of it.

30 Second Comic Book Review: X-Men: Bizarre Love Triangle
This is my favorite type of X-Men story — the type that eschews big, beefy brawls for heartfelt character interaction and unabashed melodrama.
