Hey! An Update!

You would think that the World's Greatest Banshee Fan(tm) would be blogging left and right about his favorite character but unfortunately, I am also lazy. No major Banshee news has left this fan rather depressed but I do have some tidbits.

I understand that Banshee is not a popular character but he is on a T-shirt. There is a cool X-Men group picture with Banshee included. You can see the T-shirt (and buy it, which I just might) here.

Unfortunately I cannot link the picture of the actual t-shirt but this is the image they used to produce the shirt:



The November Marvel Solicitations have come out and Banshee continues to appear in the Uncanny X-Men: First Class series.

UNCANNY X-MEN: FIRST CLASS #5
Written by Scott Gray, pencils and cover by Roger Cruz.

The world trembles as the sky begins to boil! Professor X attempts a desperate rescue mission on the Starcore One satellite but a threat from galactic legend is waiting! Who are Burning Moon, Cloud Runner and Sky Song, and how are their fates tied to the X-Men? Earth faces destruction as the mutant heroes battle an unstoppable enemy... The Knights of Hykon! (All this and Nick Fury too!)

I'll try to have more timely updates and some other geeky stuff as well.

The Return of Banshee?



The major X-news of the recent San Diego Comic-Con was the next huge storyline called The Blackest Night, oh wait, I mean Necrosha (which has to be one of the lamest titles). At first glance it looks like there might be some characters returning from the grave and I am hoping it is Banshee. Well, I kinda hope it isn't since I don't plan on picking up all the titles (I have never been a huge fan of the New Mutants in any of thier incarnations) but I would pick them up if a certain Irish fellow would appear.

I can always hope.
