Moonstone Books is always one of my favorites to post since they have a wide varitey of books including Pulp, Noir and everything else really. In September they’re launching a Pulp Fiction Magazine which I’m very interested in!

The Astonishing X-Men # 38 is far from astonishing; in fact, I would change the name of this book all together to the Slapstick Men or the Mediocre X-Menbecause this book is far from an X-Men book.
