My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

X-Men: God Loves Man Kills by Chris Claremont (Comic)

This was the inspiration for the really great X-Men film X2. The comic deals with a Reverend William Stryker who believes all mutants are evil and should be eliminated. He kidnaps Professor X and brainwashes him to kill all the mutants on Earth. To stop him the X-men join forces with Magneto. This is now a famous story and you can see how it would have really shaken up the X-men universe with its themes of religion being used to go after a minority. I highly recommend it. Grade: A-
