May was the chattiest, least-Exfandingy month we've ever had, with a few of our longest posts ever. Lots of stories and reviews and not as much explanation and introduction as usual. As if to counteract the variety of April's posts, May focused heavily on comics (which is fairly standard), video games, and sci-fi. Not that this is a bad thing, but we were certainly more conversational than usual (you know, like a normal blog).
Here's where our blabbering took us:
- A summary of the incredible amount of participation I had in the May issue of GameCola, and links to all my work
- Reflections on comics, baseball, and how a fandom can improve your life
- A links post with info about X-Men Origins: Wolverine, i-Phone apps, author Peter David, and more.
- A teaser for Legends of Steel Creek, a comic set in the Old West
- Our weekly comics news feature, Waiting for Wednesday, Issues eleven, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen
- A review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and musings on the state of modern cinema
