You guys may produce content next week but I don't think I'll be playing it while driving to Michigan Christmas morning.
I'll always remember the very first Bullpen Bulletins, when I started playing it as we were leaving for the in-laws and Vince started off the podcast talking about some comic hottie as only he could. My wife just looked at me and wondered what I had turned on.

The best part of Fables is that Bigby makes Wolverine look like a pussy.

I think I gave this one the explicit tag for sure. I was kind of pissed after getting home from the shop.

You know what Tom? We got sidetracked before I got to discuss the characters, for about 15 minutes I kept waiting to interject about Bigby Wolf being one of the best characters EVER and somehow I never got the chance.  |

Bigby is one of my favorite characters in comics, with Prince Charming close behind. I was at my Aunt's house over Thanksgiving and I saw the kids reading all these fairy tale books, and all I could think about is how they have no idea how awesome Bigby is! |

Wood! You have identified the thing that drives me the most crazy about the X-books. Time-Travel  Don't get me wrong. I love Time Travel stories. I just find them used really poorly in X-books except for Days of Future past. The X-books are at their best when the threat to mutants feel like it is happening right NOW! Who cares about the future when you are looking at the barrel of a gun right now. |

Who cares about the future when you are looking at the barrel of a gun right now. I'm gonna have to disagree. Some of my favorite X-Stories are the future ones. I especially liked the last arc of Morrison's New X-Men run. Maybe I'm just a really depressed person, but I like reading about how hopeless the future is for mutants. |
