A medium read for you

I normally don't just post a link but I need everyone to read the Magneto essay that's going around so we can talk about how great it is. It's one of the best pieces of literary analysis I've seen in a good long time.

The Judgment of Magneto

I probably ought to show this to Andrew, who is a long-time comics fan and has also recently begun watching the resurrected X-Men animated show (and being the former, he can tell which comic-book storylines the show is incorporating).

I'm not watching the animated show because animation, but I did see the movies and read a bunch of the comics and then stopped. So of course I didn't know about any of these plotlines.

As a former X-men fan (I'd stopped when the time Liefeld/Lee arrived), and so some of these plots are after my time (some not), if you do decide to watch one, episode five hits hard, and I am not even sure you need to be familiar with all the characters.
