“I Want My X-TV!”

Fox wants to mutate their X-Men movie franchise into a new television series. If Marvel and Fox reach an agreement which mutants could make the leap to television?

Here are our top candidates for X-TV:

X-Factor

Imagine “mutant noir.”

The long-running series by Peter David would be a fresh quirky take on another side of the Fox’s X-Men universe like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is for the Marvel Avengers Universe.

X-Factor is filled with charismatic mutants who didn’t attend Xavier’s and was filled with romantic complications, inter-agency love triangles, conspiracies and unique villains. Continue reading X-MEN Television Series For Your Consideration

This lifelong comic book fan has never cosplayed for a comicon or Halloween.
Last Halloween I did an impromptu Cyclops with a genetically altered with X-Men gear track jacket and a pair of visors that would impress Scott Summers.

 

This year I may actually go out as a superhero for Halloween and this would be a test run for Emerald City Comicon 2015. Continue reading HAVOK HALLOWEEN
