365 Days with Hank McCoy, Day 1

Oh my stars and garters! It's a new year, a new hero, a new 365 Days:

  2. First a year of my favorite member of the Fantastic Four, and then a year of my favorite member of the X-Men? Excellent.

  3. Bully, thank you so much. I am now officially excited for 2010. This is a blessing, and I can't wait for the next 364.

  5. Maybe it's because I'm not an FF fan, but I couldn't see devoting 365 days to Sue Storm.

    ...

    Think about it.

  6. And I get my first fix of MST3K of 2010. Thanks Bully!

  7. Good choice, Hank McCoy has been my favorite X-man since that first appearance.

  8. That full page spread is interesting. You have Angel swooping in, Iceman swinging around on his frozen fireman's pole, Beast leaping in through the window,... and Cyclops limply jogging into frame way in the back.

    Even in his very first appearance, Cyclops sucked.

  9. Oh thank god. I was worried that you might have been serious about the Sue Storm series. Which would have been cool if you'd actually featured her, but a year of arrows pointing to empty was already getting tedious.

  10. Hey, what a coincidence!

    The exact same year as Meerkat gets a year of his favorite X-Man, I get a year of my favorite non-alien member of S.W.O.R.D.!

    Seriously, what are the odds?
