stormkeeper_lovedorisI'm enjoying two X-men things.
My BFF got me this X-men TV show thing from Japan. It's really good. I'm only about half the way through it, but the plot has me engaged and the characters are fairly true to form. Storm is a little bland and 'perfect' but I guess you can say that about many Storm incarnations. There's this group of baddies called the U-men who are like an anti-mutant hate group, who capture mutants and use their powers against them and other mutants. Freaky!
And I'm still reading Astonishing X-men. I fell a little behind but just picked up issues 55 and 56. It's really good, still. It looks like the current story arc is over now, so I can't say where it will go from here. But it's nice that after 12 years of being the X-man fan who's not into comics that now I can say I am enjoying some.
EDIT - I just found out that X-men creator Stan Lee turns 90 today. Very cool. I admire him for creating so many strong female characters. He was ahead of his time.

The fictional Kitty Pryde first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #129 (January 1980), by writer Chris Claremont and artist Byrne, as a highly intelligent 13-year-old girl. Claremont said several elements of the character's personality were derived from those of X-Men editor Louise Simonson's daughter, Julie.
