Just keeping up with my X-Men Omnibus vol. 1. And yet to read the third issue of William Gibson's Archangel, which I've so far enjoyed.

But don't open the polybag! Better buy two, just to be sure.

It wasn't as strong as the previous 2 entries, but I thought it still had some decent stuff in there. I've long since stopped hoping they'll convey a classic story—instead, it plays kind of like a remix of previous elements, kind of like Ultimate X-Men. I actually thought Apocalypse was better in film than I would…

I appreciate the TD input. I really liked Phaedra through Ricochet, but stumbled at Stratosfear—it just felt repetitive in an annoying way, and a little sloppy in execution. But I recently picked up Dream Sequence, and have liked the stuff from Exit and some of their other 80's work in there, so that's probably my…

I guess that answers the question inherent in the band name.

I can't think of any offhand, but I feel like I've been to plenty of places where half their draft list are IPAs. I rarely see that kind of preference for, say, darker beers.

Hot take! I liked the musical (gf has connections in the industry) and I liked this.

I like this idea, except that part of me kind of wants this movie to be the end of the current X-Men movie universe. It would work thematically, and despite some pretty good stuff, I'd almost like to see a reboot done that's a little closer to the comics. That said, I don't even know how they'd manage that—they've…

I'd be good with this.

Metal hand, I believe, is Donald Pierce.

This is my question now. I thought the teaser at the end of Apocalypse was supposed to be setting up the next Wolverine movie, not the next X-Men one. I'm wondering if they're setting up the Reavers as Sinister's team, rather than the Marauders? So maybe he's the big bad, and Pierce and the Reavers are his…

Mentioned elsewhere, but assuming that's Pierce, which it seems to be, I think they're also pulling from the Outback-era with the Reavers, and I'm guessing the crucifixion scene. They've been doing Wolverine getting older/weaker/fixing-to-die stories even since I was reading in the late-80's. I know they couldn't…

They were discarded for Jennifer Lawrence's butthole costumes.

20-odd years ago, it was all Catwoman. I'll just guess 20 years from now it'll be Poison Ivy or something.

As a buddy of mine remarked at the time: "Yes, don't stop thinking about tomorrow, by listening to a song that's 20 (or now 40) years old!"

I guess that's why I thought it. But I'm kind of ashamed for not realizing it was McVie's song until now.

Holy crap, you're right. I don't know why I thought it was Lindsey.

This is just a plot to one-up her ex for having HIS Fleetwood Mac song be Bill's theme song.

I really should dig into more of his stuff. WAAAY back, my dad had made me a tape recorded from his CDs—one side was Isham's Film Music, and the other was Philp Aaberg's High Plains. Hence, they're both kind of "of a piece" for me, and I really didn't venture beyond either of them. Isham's stuff was just so…

That's Pierce, right? They are SO gonna do the Wolvie-crucified-to-an-X scene from #251. And they'll have X-23 save him, rather than Jubilee. You heard it here first.
