And now... X-CERPTS UNLIMITED
Hey X-fans! Scotto here, your X-Cerpts guy.
It's been my pleasure for the past five full years to bring you Uncanny X-Cerpts, a weekly journey through the entire run of Uncanny X-Men. Over that time I've covered the amazing adventures of our favourite mutant heroes and I think we've had a lot of fun doing so. There's a lot to go, and in the course of tome, as we all well know, the story of the X-Men balloons beyond what can be contained on this blog in its current form.
In recognition of the five-year mark, I wanted to branch out, so I've created a new space -- X-Cerpts Unlimited -- where I can cover material that is not part of the Uncanny X-Cerpts thread. This may include additional material about the X-Men, or other comics that have my eye. I'm starting by migrating over all the posts that were previously found only on the Uncanny X-Cerpts Patreon, including highlights from X-Factor, coverage of current-day X-Men comics (the Krakoa Era) and my award-eligible recurring feature MARVEL 2002, where I look at comics from the secret watershed year of the new millennium. These posts will appear on this blog over the course of the next few days.
I've got other stuff in mind too that's well off the beaten path, so be sure to keep watching that space along with this one. While Uncanny X-Cerpts will continue to run Mondays as usual, this site will be updated more sporadically when I have time. When it is, I'll be promoting it on Twitter and of course you can subscribe to make sure you don't miss out.
