Day 7: Favorite team

I'd say the X-Men, but there are so many X-Men teams: the original X-Men, the New X-Men, the Red Team, the Blue Team, the Utopia team, the team at Wolverine's school (I shake my head sadly), the New Mutants, the New Mutants who turned into X-Force, the next X-Force, the current X-Force, the Science Team, X-Factor (first team, second team, third team), the Dark X-Men, the new Dark X-Men, and so on... possibly ad infinitum.

Maybe I'll just say the New Avengers. I love seeing Wolverine and Spider-Man on the same team, and Brian Michael Bendis has teh snappiest dialogue ever.

Day 5: Favourite series

So many good series these days. When I was a kid, I would have said Fantastic Four or Journey into Mystery. I might say Journey into Mystery again. Or Daredevil, my favourite in the mid-1980s, or Master of Kung Fu.

But I won't. I'll say The Invincible Iron Man, since in the hands of Matt Fraction that comic has been brilliant. I love his Tony Stark and his crazy, brave, inventive, messed-up life.

30 Days of Marvel, Day 4: Least favorite character

I don't like any of the non-humanoid creatures or monsters - do they count?

Among the heroes, my least favourite Marvel character is Colossus (Piotr Rasputin) of the X-Men. I've always found him boring, and patronizing towards both Kitty Pryde and his sister, Illyana Rasputin.

Day 3: Favorite Marvel character

    For years I said my favourite Marvel character was Gambit of the X-Men. Remy Lebeau.



    He was a risk-taker, a man with a shady past and dangerous secrets, a charmer, a charlatan, a con man who'd put his life on the line for his friends. Be was brave and smart and outrageous. He had a cool Cajun accent and and an independent spirit. He did acrobatics and used playing cards as fiery weapons and wore a long coat, and carried a bo stick - what's not to love?

    I still love Gambit... )

    And the winner is... )

Day 2: Why do you love Marvel?




    1. Because of the great and diverse characters
    2. Because of the humour
    3. Because of the action
    4. Because of the relationships
    5. Because it’s great science fiction and fantasy - I love the innovations and nature of the Marvel Universe, with its things like adamantium, the negative zone, repulsor rays, gamma rays, red Hulks, healing factors, webbing, the Shi’ar Empire, Canadian superheroes, mutant nations, and Skrulls.
    6. Because of occasional breathtaking art
    7. Becuase of occasional brilliant stories
    8. Because it’s a lifelong habit
    9. Because there are gay and bi characters
    10. Because Marvel makes Wednesdays exciting
