“Black Badge” #8

By | Mar 21, 2019 | Reviews

Just as the phrase “Hold my beer” entered the lexicon to signal that an amazing and potentially foolhardy thing was about to be attempted, the increasingly ubiquitous phrase “Your mileage may vary” has come to mean that the proponent of a thing recognizes that the thing they are espousing may have somewhat less than universal […]

Who’s your favorite X-Man? I have to go with Cyclops (#CyclopsWasRight) but as a kid, I was all about Iceman. In all fairness to the other gifted youngsters, it had little to do with Bobby and everything to do with his fascinating mutation. Iceman had the, pun very much intended, coolest powers.
