X-Men Krakoa Post-Mortem: An Uncanny Dream With A Nightmare Ending

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is a post-mortem and an overall breakdown of the end of the Krakoa era in the X-Men comics. What started with House of X/Powers of X and ended with Fall of X, the X-Men underwent some of the biggest upheavals the franchise has experienced since the Chris Claremont era. It laid a new foundation unlike anything we’d seen before with the X-Men.

Then, Fall of X came and brought it to an ugly, destructive end.

There’s a lot to be said about the Krakoa era, what led up to it, and what will come after it. I do my best share my sentiments, my hopes, and what this era means to me and other X-Men fans. Enjoy!

Jack Quick Reacts: X-Men 97 Season 1 Finale

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is my quick, unscripted reaction to the season one finale of X-Men 97. I had such high expectations for this show. And now that the first season is over, I can safely say it delivered! It really was something special. It didn’t just reintroduce the X-Men in a big, bold way. It laid a truly uncanny foundation to build on. Enjoy!

Ultimate X-Men #2 Review: Ultimately Lacking

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is my review of Ultimate X-Men #2. After this newly rebooted Ultimate Universe delivered so many amazing first issues, Ultimate X-Men really disappointed. It was one of the most underwhelming comics I’ve read in a long time, lacking anything that would make it an appealing X-Men comic, let alone an Ultimate comic on par with what others have done.

My review of the first issue earned quite a bit of flak. But I always intended to review the second issue. I don’t let one bad issue define a series. And while this second issue was an improvement over the first, it was still lacking.

Jack’s Comic Gems | X-Terminators

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And in this gem, I single out one of the most unapologetically fun comics to come out in years. And at a time when everything and everyone takes themselves too seriously, a comic that’s just plain fun is just what we need.

X-Terminators by Leah Williams was not billed as some ground-breaking, genre-defining mini-series. It was just a simple, straightforward story about Dazzler, Jubilee, Tabitha, and Laura Kinney going on a crazy adventure that was joyously entertaining every step of the way.

It made for a unique, but refreshing comic experience and one that’s certainly worthy of being a true comic gem. Enjoy!

It’s been a long time coming, seeing the X-Men return to form. But they’re finally back and if these first two episodes are any indication, they have an uncanny future ahead of them. Enjoy!
