Madroxxxxxxxxxx

Picked up Madrox #1 tonight. Bought it without even knowing who the hell he is and what the story's about. I just saw that the good folks over at Ninth Art recommended it as book of the week.

I'm glad I grabbed it. It's actually pretty good. And interesting. I hope it only gets better. I am just gonna wait for the trade and check reviews periodically in the meantime.

In case you didn't know, as I didn't, Madrox is a character Peter David wrote in a 20-issue run on X-Factor sometime in the past. I've never read any Peter David before, and if this issue is any indication, I like what I see. The comic guy from Sci-Fi City spoke volumes of Mr. David back when he was relaunching Captain Marvel. I got one of those issues and I hated it. It really was crap. So, somehow, either I got dumber or he got better.

Probably the former. I bet that if I keep reading superhero comics I'll eventually accept any old crap re-christened "New Hat." It's inevitable. Everyone's saying it. Everyone? Who's everyone? You're eight, you only know your parents.
