There has been a sea change: for the first time, I'm getting more comments on DW than LJ, supporting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
louderandlouder's hunch that DW will eventually be the greater fandom hub.
X-Men Soft Skills
Reading Skip Downing's On Course: Strategies for Creating Success in College and Life (the text for several of our college's learning communities) made me want to ( grade Charles and Erik according to their soft skills: )
Brief review of X-Men graphic novel, God Loves, Man Kills
This is early 1980s graphic novel is the principal basis for the film, X2. It concerns the machinations of William Stryker (in this version a televangelist) as he tries to a) convince the world that mutants are unholy and b) exterminate them. As in the film, the X-Men and Magneto team up to foil him while Xavier is imprisoned and telepathically manipulated. It's a good read on the whole and has some moments of philosophical depth that outstrip the movie. ( spoilers )
