Too Little, Too Late?

I was coming back from a recent outing of indulgence of fried chicken and general fat-assness, and on the way home while waiting on the bus something caught my eye. Standing on the corner of 79th & Jeffery, there’s this little women’s clothing store and on the door was this posting.

My first thought was “Was this too little too late?” I mean completely understand the reasoning behind people taking a stand and trying to make their community a safer and better place. In most neighborhoods within the southside of Chicago, the corner convienence store is anything but a convienence. It’s the local hang out for the pushers, dealers, hypes, crackheads, drunks and the homeless. But is it fair to say that the proprietors are the cause for the downfall on the urban neighborhood? What I get from this window posting is that without the corner store, there wouldn’t be any urban decay and I know that’s not right…

Spoiler Alert

To one of the greatest under-utilized X-Men characters…

Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975) – X-Force #26 (April 2010)

Ugh!

I really just wished the bitch would stay dead… things were going so well without the Phoenix in comics. Cyclops was becoming less of a dick, I really love Emma Frost as a leading figure within the X-Men, and Wolverine is not in so many titles. Things were looking up in the X-universe, but I guess I should have seen in coming. I’ve read the Messiah Complex arc, a super power mutant girl baby that becomes a red-head überkind raised in the future by Cable and was able to turn one of my favorite characters into a villain (Bishop) in the Messiah War.

Guess I need to drop some X-titles in the near future…
