Hm. The first two Monthly Haul opening images contain Wolverine saying “Comics!” and I swear to God it wasn’t premeditated. Anyhoo, I kind of realized that since I’m doing this monthly comic book reviews thing, I might as well do it the last week of every month. If you noticed, I’m currently doing it the third week, which is sorta weird. So the third installment of Monthly Haul will come after the last Wednesday of January. I’m sure you don’t care, so let’s just go ahead and review some comics.

I tried this reviewing-comics-every-week gig, first with Weekly Haul, and then New Comics Yay!, but it just doesn’t stick with me. I know I’m passionate enough about reading comics, but blogging about it is an entirely different thing. With the real world usually foiling my plans of writing comic book reviews every week, I’ve decided to stop. But not completely. I’ll try doing this on a monthly basis.

After last week’s X-Men #200, where the first part of the Endangered Species set of backup stories running through 4 X-titles appeared, I am now faced with a dilemma. See, the crossover runs through “X-Men”, “Uncanny X-Men”, “X-Factor”, and “New X-Men”.

If I want to follow this story, I’d have to bring “Uncanny” and “New” back to my pull list for a couple of months and pick up the issues I missed so I won’t get lost in their respective current storylines. Dammit.
