Review X-men #500 review “There Back !!”

July 30th, 2008 · Comments

I have been really disappointed by the X-men comics over the past 2 or 3. I enjoyed the recent Messiah complex story line but it seemed like a way to relaunch the new Cable and X-force books than a legitimate story. I was really suspect about the move to San Fransisco and the whole hippie [...]

Batman: Gotham Knight
