My First Observation

Hi Guys

I read with great sadness that one of the greatest, longest running comic book series The Uncanny X-Men is about to have it's curtain call, this for many of you reading this represents the end of a long, and much talked about era/story arc of a comic series that I have had a comparatively brief exposure to.

I have in my small collection of comic books some issues of this great title, and I fondly remember much enjoyment reading the stories, this is some of the best writing I have ever come across, be it in novel form or comic book. So my sympathies to those who are most hurt by today's news.

After reading the article and some of you comments on there, it reminded me of the conversation I'd some weeks ago with a Comic Book shop-owner here in Perth who had told me that half the Universe will face their demise, and will all be rebooted, and it lead me to think that maybe our beloved Comic Book publishers are now selling out on us wholesale, the one thing that we had over the rest of the world were these fantastic stories of men & women with genetic mutations, irradiated spider bites, outer space cosmic accidents, and so on and so forth are being "re-booted" to perhaps draw in a bigger crowd, to expose our beloved heroes & heroines to the wider public, and give them what they have been missing out on.

They could all be the victims of Marvel's success, with the great Comic Book based movies that have come out in recent years, these awesome cinematic adventures maybe the downfall of some beloved titles and characters.

Thanks for reading my article, this is my first attempt at this and I hope I have the opportunity for further observations.
