X-Men: Mutant Massacre TPB review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsMay 29, 20230Comments

X-Men: Mutant Massacre TPB by Chris Claremont (Author), Walt Simonson (Author), Louise Simonson (Author), John Romita Jr. (Illustrator), Sal Buscema (Illustrator), Alan Davis (Illustrator) The 1986 event X-Men: The Mutant Massacre largely written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by a cadre of artists is, to me, typical of any X-Men event, encircling a single event from…

Magneto: Testament review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsAugust 21, 20200Comments

If you have grown up with the X-Men as I did, you probably know what an overwhelming force of nature Magneto is and what a complex villain he makes.

A retrospective to Fox’s X-Men: The original Trilogy by Raphael Borg

Movies, ReviewsAugust 21, 20190Comments

Despite many knowing me as a major Flash and DC aficionado, my love for all things comics started with Marvel, and, in fact, the X-Men. In fact, like most typical child of the 90’s raised by TV, I was fascinated by their cartoon incarnation heavily inspired what I soon after got to know as the…
