Starting off with Gambit: Remy is left home alone, so what does any good member of the Thieve's Guild do when left unsupervised with an itch to hit The Big Easy? Why steal things, of course. But as Remy will learn unsupervised doesn't necessarily mean unwatched as he sneaks about the town. And on the other side of town the two most powerful figures of the two Guilds sit down and discuss the future of their tattered groups.
Over in New X-Men the students of the Xavier Institute for Highter Learning are restless after stumbling upon a drug ring around campus that gives the users superpowers. Instilled with a duty to protect his fellow students Thomas Sheppard pulls together a team to operate under the noses of their supervisors...but how successful can they be when their supervisors are amongst the most powerful telepaths on the planet and one of those telepaths is a soldier who's used to seeing through sneaky tactics?
Meanwhile in Uncanny X-Men the Russian leader of the new Kremlin Defense Force, Colonel Vazhin, drops a colossal bomb on the X-Men when he reveals that an X-Man thought long dead is actually alive and mindlessly roaming the Russian wilderness. But the X-Men aren't the only group on the hunt to claim the legendary X-Man as Weapon X races against the heroes to get to him first.
Pietro grows fanatical in his desire to hunt down and capture Exodus in X-Factor as he jockeys for position and power to ensure that Genosha remains safe and stable by creating the first steps of his plan that will result in the creation of The Genosha Compact. What is this Genosha Compact? Well, it's a question that Emma Frost wants answered at any means necessary, and Pietro's actions to seeing this come to fruition may put him at odds right off the bat with Polaris and the brand new X-Factor!
And finally in X-Force the team experiences a quiet moment...okay, maybe not as what began as a game of skill between Pipeline and Abyss leads to a full on smackdown between two of the most dominant and opinionated women on the team. Havok and Emma verbally play a tug of war over the control of the secret team, Madrox, Shatterstar and Blind Faith share a disagreement of words and other forces outside of their walls align against them as Ahab and the Hounds come crashing down upon them. And the reason behind Emma and Alex's problems, the Genegineer continues his freakish experiments.
I have now included on the front page of MA the showcase spot for the Fifty States Initiative. Just like our sister site DCA with JLU and DCI, we are cross promoting with Altered Visions and FSI to help spread the word of the great work being done across the community. You'll also see the 3 titles we're showcasing for the site that cover content MA currently doesn't have or explore a direction and characters we're currently not.
So, go read some fanfic!!

In the Crystal Palace Axel Asher awakens in terrible fear of the thing that sent him crashing through the multiverse and the manic traveller drops a truth bomb on Heather that she's not happy to hear.

To go with the debut issues of the Supernatural line Strange Tales is getting a re-release. It is the Source Book from where these brand new series's launched from.
Anthony Ludgate has wandered the cold depths of Hell for untold years ever since the Son of Satan had exiled him from the mortal coil and stuffed his lifeless body in a garbage can, mindful to take out the trash. At the behest of an unknown benefactor Druid's seclusion will come to an end as he meets up with two mysterious men that have been damned to the pit to hear their Strange Tales. Behold the vivid tales of the Nightstalkers, the fearsome Ghost Rider, of Druid's most hated enemy Dr. Strange and The Defenders, and of the hellish Midnight Sons. What purpose do these eerie stories serve? Well, I guess you're gonna have to turn the page and find out for yourself.
Directly continuing from Strange Tales comes The Defenders by Edward Ainsworth. Doctor Spectrum has tracked the beaten Nighthawk to the front door of the newly gathered Defenders and the battle that ensues is just one reason why you should never live in Marvel's New York City. The other reason to never live there is white and fury and rhymes with WEEEEENNNDIIIGOOOO! Dr. Strange, Namor, the Silver Surfer and the Hulk have their hands full with these two tremendously powerful villains.
In The Midnight Sons by Josh Reynolds you're welcome to attend a ghoulish ball hosted by none other than the Lord of Vampires himself, Dracula. It's a rather lively event and I wouldn't recommend missing it. Elsewhere, recovering from the assualt he suffered in Strange Tales, Morbius awakes to find himself bound and captive, and oddly amused. In England the bad-ass vampire hunter, Blade, battles one of the oldest Vampires on the Earth. The Darkholders responsible for attacking Morbius and stealing the page from him reveal their dark intentions that will push the events in motion that will serve to reform The Midnight Sons once more.
If that's not enough then I have for you the last book of this launch: Nightstalkers by Jan Oudshoorn. Gathered in Cagliostro's hotel room are the others drawn together by the horrific Red Event. But they're too busy smack talking each other than getting down to business. Meanwhile things are going terribly wrong across the country, a sign of the awful things to come, with an outbreak of zombies, nightmares and ghost who cannot sing wreak havoc and panic. It's a good thing we have champions ready to stab, shoot, bite and banish these things of terror back to the Hell they belong.
So, that does it for this update. Go read some fanfic for Christ's sake!
Oh, and I want you all aware at how close that Midnight Sons entry came to being nothing but the lyrics to an AC/DC song. You're welcome at my restraint.

Well, the update I almost didn't think was going to happen is done! I managed to get the PC back onto the net just a few hours ago. I didn't fix ALL of my problems, but the bigger ones have been taken care of. Now, if I could just get SATA 2 to get found I'd be gold...but hey, this isn't my LJ so enough of this palaver, let's get the show on the road.
Exiles #2, brings the Exiles to New York City. That's right, the Big Apple. And to this group of multi-reality, hard travelling heroes the city will only get bigger. Who ever said that size doesn't matter never said it from the stomach of a swallow. No, not coconut carrying swallows. The Exile's confusion gets compounded when they meet up with the Avengers. So, how will these two action-figure sized groups save the day? If a certain turncoat in their midst has anything to say about it, they won't!
Gambit #8-9, these two issues are the lead up to a Guild War that will turn the city red with blood. In #8 Carl Denti, the Xcutioner, travels to the Big Easy to investigate a string of odd murders. Though, as anybody can tell you nothing is exactly normal in New Orleans as it is. #9 takes things to the boiling point as both sides take up their positions to deal with the inevitable backlash of Remy's return to the city that nobody wanted to see him come back to.
Tales to Astonish #3, Hannibal King gets deeper into the muck of the case of two ghosts that are haunting a small town in Upstate New York. Even for a Vampire there are things scary enough to make their hearts skip a beat...if they had hearts that beat, that is.
Uncanny X-Men #2, Sebastian Shaw's mysterious plans have attracted the attention of the X-Men, and unfortunately for Victor Creed and the others of his small band of mutants from Weapon X have attracted Logan's attention. But, hey, when you kidnapp a fella's kids what would you think would happen? Yep, a lot of violence.
X-Force #4, Havok has finally gained an audience with Mikhail Rasputin only to learn that his mission has now gotten a little more dangerous for him and his troupe in Russia. Of course, I think even he would prefer his mission when compared to those left behind at Muir Island having to deal with a very pissed off Selene, who didn't take to having her apartment broken into lightly. You would think a face-full of pointy objects would help settle the matter, but apparently it only makes it worse. Go fig.
So, after all this I think it'd be a very good idea to go read from fanfic for Christ's sake!

In #0: Peter Parker has his first job interview since losing his job at The Bugle, returning to his old stomping grounds of Midtown High to square off against his former Vice Principal.

Things get tense for both teams of X-Force. Selene has surprised the team searching her apartment in France forcing them to fight for their lives, and the team in Russia gets closer to finding Rasputin unaware of a dark figure that's already found them.

Randomly scattered across the West Coast various Avengers have been brought together by a devastating attack on Los Angeles that left part of the city a smoldering cinder.

The X-Men update is here! For those living under a rock each of the three main X-Books launched today will explore the X-Men in three very different lights, while aware of the larger world they continue to share.In Astonishing X-Men the team defends their new home of Chicago for the first time from an enigmatic wanna-be supervillain who's gotten his hands on things he has no business having. The question now lingers in where did this wanna-be get his gear? How will Chicago accept this group of mutants that are protecting their city, and will the X-Men be ready for their reaction? The X-Men march boldly into uncharted territory where they're no longer regarded as objects of scorn, but as celebrities.
In Uncanny X-Men the schools have reopened and are admitting a record number of students in the wake of prosperity and peace following X-Men: Alpha. Taking advantage of the increased attention Cable and Ororo have begun an aggressive recruitment drive to draw in more young mutants in need of a home and training, and something happens during one of these drives that could spell doom for Jonothan Starsmore. And if that wasn't enough looming doom for you, then wait 'till you see what the Hellfire Club is up to.
In X-Force, the most aggressive book of the 3, Havok gets his team ready for a pair of dangerous missions. The team is forced to split their efforts between Russia and France as they chase the threats that threaten to destroy the progress made by Xavier. Not everybody is pleased with their mission, however, and isn't afraid to voice their opinion.
And X-Men Unlimited picks up directly where X-Men: Alpha ended to introduce a powerful new threat named Sekhmet. Maverick and Moon Knight find themselves clearly outmatched and chilled to their cores when they learn of Sekhmet's origin and her deadly secret. She's not pleased to find that the world has changed and she intends to take out her anger upon all of the mutants that changed it.
If you're down for reading four very excellent issues - and I don't say that just because it's the thing to say to attract you to these books, because I really mean it - that induvidually take their own fresh look upon the world then these are the issues you've been looking for.
So, go read some fanfic for Christ's sake!!

Marvel Anthology is back with six solid issues, including the Giant-Sized X-Men: Alpha. The purpose of X-Men: Alpha is simple: we wanted to establish, in one issue and place, everything you will need to know about the direction MA is taking the X-Men Universe. X-Men: Alpha establishes where MA has broken from Marvel 616's continuity and creates a foundation that will prepare you for the launch of four brand spankin' new X-Men Titles: Astonishing X-Men, by Dino Pollard; Uncanny X-Men, by Tony Thornley; X-Force, by Brent Lambert and the anthology book X-Men Unlimited, by Clayton Tooley. We hope this book will serve as the anchor to these books, that from here each book will read as a part of a whole, and while you can surely read each book seperately at your leisure and satisfaction that taken as a whole a bigger picture becomes clear. Each book will always have this book in common, and you can learn about all of them from here.
Given the direction we, as a site, wanted to take it made sense to approach it this way and hopefully create a world view as we went. The goal here was to try and inform readers. Give them the choice to either read one future title and ignore the other two, or entice them to read ALL of the books with an interest to know where this whole thing was going. Don't fret though, our direction isn't totally detached from what it's known for. Uncanny X-Men will explore the X-Men in a more traditional view, Astonishing X-Men will explore the X-Men in a much more radical view where mutants can be celebrities, X-Force will explore the X-Men in a very dark, dangerous view, and X-Men Unlimited will serve as a catch all for random tales that either impact the X-Men Universe or not.
There are a few #1's in this update too. Tobias Christopher returns to the Fantastic Four with Jason Bruss to bring MA tales of villainy and exploration in ways only the first family of Marvel can do. Tales to Astonish is an anthology title that'll focus mainly on non-continuity tales, but continuity tales are naturally welcome, where those random stories that're floating around in your head can find a home. Gambit returns and Remy finds out that while you can go home again, there are those who'd rather see you dead than back in the Big Easy.
So, go read some fanfiction for Christ's sake!!

On LJ.
I no longer have the xanga site. Well, it's there, but I'm not posting there anymore. So I'm LJ exclusive now. Whoo! lol.
I've been mostly busy redesigning B Hyphen.com. It's not ready yet tho, don't look. I made a new music blog at http://itshyphen.blogspot.com. I added some stuff to the Soundvizion myspace.
I added a whole crapload of videos to Youtube. I'm only posting two tho. Here's a playlist from my last show at Bucks.
The other night, I got to talk to my friend I've known for 8 years, Erik Fromme akaefromme for the first time. He asked me about the status of my podcast and then shared some thoughts on hip-hop and my music. And I recorded it. We talked on the phone like schoolgirls. lol. Also, check out the Marvel Anthology and B Hyphen.com promotion!
I also have been updating Hip-Hop Manifesto!!!: The Blog pretty often again too. So I'm doing pretty nice on the computer.
If only writing and music came as easy.
So we'll see what happens. I hope to get this blog more content than just my twitter posts. But that's always my goal isn't it.
I'm going out of town this weekend, won't be back until Sunday. And I work all Thanksgiving week. Not cool. But it is cash. Enough for now.

Because I should be doing it more. I'm gonna try to have at least one post a day from now where I actually type something from here until 2009. Not too difficult a task right? Weekends don't count tho. lol.
Went to FallFest last night, which is WVU's big welcome back concert they have every year. Lupe Fiasco was here and he KILLED it. Matt and I weren't in the best spots ever but I saw the whole show thanks to the huge video screen. I studied his show a lot too. Anytime I can soak up some knowledge that's going to make my stage show better, I'll take it.
I've now seen live:
Jay-Z
R. Kelly
Kanye West
Usher
Talib Kweli
Common (for 10 minutes. Stupid thunderstorm!)
Lupe Fiasco
Black Eyed Peas
The Roots
Pete Rock (DJ)
Fatman Scoop (DJ)
Redman
Boot Camp Clik
Memphis Bleek, Freeway, Young Gunz (they all came out during Jay's set, so they count. lol.)
Back in school. Day 2 went fine. Now I just have to get through one more year and a few summer classes and I'm done. Really.
Music is kinda at a standstill. I haven't done a new song since I did a song for DJ Coutz' album. I redesigned my myspace tho. lol. You can check it out at http://www.myspace.com/spideyville and you can also listen to or download The Mind's Mixtape volume Three there. The good news is I've never been more comfortable on stage and my live show is the best it's ever been. I really feel I'm starting to come into my own there.
Matt and I's blog is in the middle of reconstruction. I got a little too happy with trying to post every single new song that came out and I found myself dedicating 5 hours of a recent Saturday just to updating the blog with 2 weeks worth of missed tracks. So I'm reconstructing the site back into form that Matt and I originally invisioned. Johnathan also joined the site as a contributor but he has yet to contribute. lol. You can check that out at http://www.hiphopmanifesto.org. We'll also have the new episode of the podcast soon too.
I have an update I need to do for Marvel Anthology. It's only two issues but anything new is always welcome. I have three issues of Robin I'm about to turn in at DCA. My first issues in over a year and a half. I'm a great writer by the way. lol.
I'm going to be redesigning B Hyphen.com again. lol. I can't find something that I truly like enough to leave it there. But I got some ideas, hopefully something good will come of it.
I also plan on continuing and finishing my Behind The Music series for The Mind's Mixtape volume II and The Thunderstorm Mixtape. Then I can do the one for volume Three. I wanted to start on volume Three but I didn't think it was right to skip two mixtapes.
For now tho, I think that covers all the bases. Here's two facebook photo galleries from my last two shows.
