Hello, geeks and geekettes! It's that time again! Mid-Week Mini Christmas, also known as Comic Book Wednesday! This week we're doing All-New X-Men #18 and Thor God of Thunder #15 on the Marvel side. Speaking of Thor, check the facebook page at facebook.com/geekinpodcast for our first issue of the Geekin' Podcast and Retinax5's and I's review of Thor: The Dark World! Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Stuart Immonen I must be a bigger Bendis fan than I thought. I notoriously love Guardians of the Galaxy, and I'm just as much in love with this book. I thought the art worked very well for the story, and the over-all book was exactly what I want from my X-Men books.
