I have always loved comics but when I moved to Montana the nearest comic shop was 80-90 miles away. I moved to colorado semi-recently and began collecting them again. I was blown away by some of the things going on these days. Identity Crisis was unbelievable, and it took me awhile to figure out what was going on with Batman, new robin, old robin(nightwing),batgirl etc. and these days in X-Men Proffesor X is gone, Jean Grey is REALLY dead, Cyclops is with Emma Frost. Things are definently different these days but after reading afew Id say their better than ever. Reply if youve been reading. My girlfriend sure as hell wont read them no-one else that I know here does either. Astonishing X-men kicks ass.
