X-Men: Necrosha - Everything You Need to Know

For the record, let me state that I am a major Craig Kyle and Chris Yost fanboy. Their work on New X-Men was awesome and propelled the comic from an ancillary title during the Academy X days to a monthly slice of badassness that was one of the best X-titles at that time. Since the end of New X-Men, the two have consistently (Messiah War aside) delivered with X-Force, and it's one of my favourite books on the shelves today, from any company. So needless to say, I'm pumped for the upcoming Necrosha event, featuring the work of these two and the X-Force title.


But, Devin, what is this Necrosha and why does it sound very dirty? Truth be told, I could explain things myself, but I doubt I could enunciate it any better than Kirk Warren, of the Weekly Crisis (http://www.weeklycrisis.com/) Kirk's blog is one of my daily reads, and he pulls out all the stops to create an impressive and very detailed primer for the event (http://www.weeklycrisis.com/2009/09/top-10-tuesdays-10-things-you-need-to.html), one that any newcomer to comics or someone interested in Necrosha, X-Force, Selene, etc, should be reading. Heck, even Chris Yost himself has taken notice! (http://yosttv.blogspot.com/2009/09/necrosha-primer-weekly-crisis.html) So yeah, do Kirk a favour; check it out and post a comment, and while you're there, you might as well look at all the other great stuff Kirk and crew have to offer.
