Summer Break at Xavier's

Boy, these things have been so exciting lately, haven't they? I've been thrilled all year to be writing up undoubtedly some of the finest stories ever produced in comics history.

This is just a little note to say I'll be taking some time off for the rest of July and August, to refresh and focus on some other things for a little bit.

Updates may be a little sporadic through the fall and rest of the year. I'm getting married in December, so I've got slightly higher priorities than writing about old X-Men comics but it remains a fun activity for me and a good way to blow off steam so I don't expect to fully move on from this project. We've got a lot left to cover, seemingly more than could ever be handled in a single lifetime at this rate, but I'm game if you are.

If you're a regular reader here, thanks so much for checking in every week, I hope we provide 15 minutes or so of entertainment every Monday and that you'll be back when I am. Have a great summer!
