Yup
I agree. That was crap. I mean the dude was a pansty. Nothing like Aric. But, how can you do X-O and not have Aric. He was the MAN (right after Gilad, that is...LOL). But, really would that not be awesome.

I caught up with X-O somewhat recently, getting the TPB and issues 5 thru 42, and it's been quite good.
So I guess the rest of it is just not worth reading at all from what people say here, I'll stop and continue when the relaunch comes next year

Oh, issue 64 is certainly worth reading. If only for a very dark moment. Those who read it know what I mean. It's truly awesome. Oh, and I'm in the minority but I think the final two issues were sort of cool. Really, it's just the stuff from 43-about 62 that is terrible. 63-68 were kind of cool in a "well, it isn't as bad as it used to be" kind of way.havok1977 wrote:I caught up with X-O somewhat recently, getting the TPB and issues 5 thru 42, and it's been quite good.

The last 20 or so issues of XO start off bad and get better, you say.xodacia81 wrote:Oh, issue 64 is certainly worth reading. If only for a very dark moment. Those who read it know what I mean.

that's like kicking someone 10 times a day for 2 years so that when you start only kicking them 5 times a day they say it's better...Chiclo wrote:The last 20 or so issues of XO start off bad and get better, you say.xodacia81 wrote:Oh, issue 64 is certainly worth reading.

I'm fairly certain they decided to just abduct brains, after a while. It would certainly explain the current global political situation.Watcher wrote:I wonder what other historical people they abducted?

Would LOVE to see Morrison do a cameo. There was an issue of Captain America a few years back that had Hawkeye taking Cap to a bar filled with people like James Dean and Groucho. Made a fun issue.Brother Darque wrote:Jimmy Hoffa?Watcher wrote:I wonder what other historical people they abducted?
