Sex Criminals: Volume One: One Weird Trick by Matt Fraction My rating: 3 of 5 stars "I know how this looks. Don't judge us." This was probably the most original concept in a book I've seen in a while. Either that means we're all digging from the same brainspace or I need to expand my horizons. You decide. I really liked both main characters. Suzie seemed a little more comfortable with her erotic side, but Jon was more comfortable with the idea of crime. It could have been the other way around and I still would've loved the complicated way they complimented each other. How completely human and believable. You know what else surprised me? The authority represented. I just expected something the way Suzie kind-of imagined and it was really shocking when we discovered who they were. The art was so/so for me. It wasn't by any stretch "bad," just not my cup of tea. While I did think the idea was crazy-refreshing, I don't know if I'll contin...

Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews My rating: 4 of 5 stars “Catalina,” Grandma Frida called out behind me. “When you’re done cutting up the body, call me. I’ll help you hide it.” I turned and looked at her. Grandma flexed her arm. “Ride or die.” I already really liked Catalina going into this. I liked her before I read Diamond Fire . I was actually pretty eager to delve more into her and Arabella's story and man, was I not disappointed! This is probably my favorite family/extended family in the UF genre. The only others that come close are the Price clan (from Seanan McGuire's Discount Armageddon series) and I really don't even want to compare them. The Baylors are so much fun . They are all strange and lovable in very different ways and honestly, I'd read a book starring any of them. I love how everyone in this universe has unique-to-them powers and the politics between Houses. It's like the romanticized Mafia with supernatural abilities and no law enforcement. ...

Vicious by V.E. Schwab My rating: 5 of 5 stars "But these words people threw around—humans, monsters, heroes, villains—to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them." Damn, damn... DAMN . This was a wicked-cool book. I went into this with the idea that it was "a dark superhero story." It is, but it's also so much more. What if you suspected that people with super-human powers actually existed? What if you were in college and decided to try to prove it as your thesis? What if you figured out how to create the correct circumstances to become ExtraOrdinary ? What if you and your best friend decided to try it out? What if you were both sociopaths? Interested now? This turned out to be as much of an Urban Fantasy as a study of psychology. It was also effortless and entertaining to read. There are many singular ...

This is a list of X-Men (and other mutants) that started out in the comics but have now been represented in live-action form in movies or on TV.  I think you'll truly be surprised how many there are.  (I'm winking now) I will update this list as often as they let me see a new X-Men movie or show!  As per usual, if you can think of any others, let me know in the comments section!
