Remember that surprise I mentioned a while back? Well, this is it. If there was one show that pretty much ripped off X-Men, it was this one. Yes, I and other comic book fans watched Heroes. It started out well, ya know? Suddenly, something happened. The show died and I did not care at all. Anyway, I'll be doing this like all of the others. I'll have my background, likes, dislikes, and a quick list of my favorite characters instead of episodes. So, let us enter into this thing here:
Background
When I heard that Heroes was going to be based in the superhero genre, I decided to tune in and watch the first episode. I was hooked. The characters were interesting, and the stories were engaging. I liked the real, gritty feel of the show. These were normal people who just happened to gain powers. Now, I did like the finale to the first season, okay? Anyone who was expecting something reminiscent of the X-Men movies had their hopes up too high. The finale was ultimately about the characters. I went into season 2 curious of what will happen.
Season 2 was somewhat of a mixed bag. Some stuff worked, while other stuff didn't. The writer's strike especially didn't help much. Then Season 3 came....what in the name of Rick James happened? The first half of season 3 and a little bit of the second half was kinda bad. I'll get into it more later though. Season 4 started out okay. It got back to some of the themes Season 1 had, but as the season went on, I found myself caring less for the show. When I heard it wasn't coming back for a fifth season, I really had no feelings about it. I even wrote a note on Facebook about how I felt! Anyway, it's been a long time since I have seen an episode of Heroes. I may go through the series some day, but not today.
Well, after a couple of weeks dealing with school work and some random thing called SKYRIM (awesome by the way) I'm back to complete this month off. I have three more things I really want to do before the month is over, so let's get to it! Today......X-MEN.....aka X-Men: TAS. You know the drill.
Hey, all. It’s arw1985 and I’m back with another X-Men tale. I found this at the library and since it does have that “Greatest X-Men Story” title on it, I decided that it will be one of the books I’ll talk about this month. X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills was released as a graphic novel by Marvel in 1983. The creative team behind this long book was Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson, who were both good at what they did Claremont was the writer of the X-Men, and Anderson was a good artist (I don’t know what he has done). This story itself has been re-released in tpb form throughout the years. Some of the story was even used in X2: X-Men United, which is something I will get to next week. Now, it’s been said that this story is one of the greatest X-men Stories of all time. Do I agree? Well, find out below:
