X-Men my favorite Ex

  X-Men I just can't quit you. A long time ago ( the 90s ) I stopped reading X-Men, not from lack of interest, but because of a hectic teenage life. The comic taught me tolerance, strength and that a great spandex outfit can get you far. Now in my 30's I am back and in costume! Hellooooo Rogue.

The hair is the second step of my costume that will be ready for New Orleans Comic Con in February . It needs to be a bit whiter but that is not something that can be safely done all at once, at least not to my hair.  The first step to any costume is RESEARCH, or as I like to call it, an excuse to read tons of comics. I picked back up with Ultimate X-Men the Cry Wolf story arc. While the art was smashing & it was thrilling seeing all of the old characters I grew up with. I didn't connect with the story, it felt a bit junior high. A needy Storm, a catty Shadow Cat & the whole Rogue kidnapping made me wonder where my badass heroines went. I understand that the Ultimate X-Men series is worth another shot though. So back to the books to try again. However the first thing I'm checking out is X-Men #1. How exciting is this to have an all female line up?! So many great comics to read, this must be heaven. I'm off to "research".
