ResurrXion: X-Men's Return to Prominence
The past 17 years have been unkind to the Children of the Atom. The X-Men have been forced to sit on the sidelines as the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Inhumans transformed from floundering franchises into box office champions of film, television, and comics. However, ResurrXion, a franchise storyline event is expected to change of the X-Men's status quo. After many decimations of mutantkind, schisms, the deaths of the major team members, and brawls with high profile super-powered teams, the X-Men (along with their fan base) may finally receive what they wanted from Marvel Comics for years: a brighter and hopeful future.

Rewatching... The Avengers: The Living Dead
Friday 24 February 1967 So this man walks into a pub… It’s a boozy old tramp, and he staggers out of the pub again into the adjacent graveyard. He clearly has a brilliant sense of humour as he laughs about absolutely everything, including when he falls over. There was a rather more hollow sounding ‘thud’ than expected at this point for a leafy cemetery. And his voice reverberates oddly for outdoors…and there’s not a hint of a breeze… Perhaps he’s laughing at the absurdity, but the smile is soon wiped off his face when the lid of a stone sarcophagus slides open and a ghostly man rises upright from within.

My Unlucky Stars
You might be asking, how did this kid find himself holding his breath and hiding under that car? And if you did, the only answer I'd have to give is a heaping of stupidity washed over with a lightly baked sauce of bad ideas. So let me rewind and take you back to the beginning, or what I now call, the cradle of folly, or as some would say metal shop.

Human Target and How the Forgotten DC TV Show Would Succeed Today
DC Comics have been represented in live action form on television since Adventures of Superman aired in 1952. There are currently 9 shows airing that are based on DC Comics, while in the 90s there were 5. If you look at a timeline of DCTV shows, you'll notice a gap between 1997, when Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman ended, and 2012, when Arrow began. During that 15 year period, only 3 DCTV shows aired: Birds of Prey, Human Target, and Smallville. Smallville was an iconic show that kept audiences (mostly) entertained for 10 seasons. Because Smallville was such a success, people rarely remember Birds of Prey or Human Target. Human Target only lasted 2 seasons but I truly believe if it aired today, and not on FOX, it would be a hit.
