    Default X-Forum Book Club, sorry it's been such a long time

    So I enjoyed our first 2 book clubs and would like to do a third. Is anyone still interested in participating? I apologize that I let this go with out an update for so long. I would look at the last thread every time I logged on here and think to myself "lets get another one going" but alas life got in the way. Tonight however I found the motivation to type a couple of sentences to gauge interest. Let me know!

    I meant to join in on the last two ones but never got around to it while the discussions were actually going, but I'd still be interested in another one of these. If you're taking suggestions, assuming enough people are interested, the Carlos Pacheco memorial thread has had me really looking back fondly on the O:ZT arc that introduced Cecilia Reyes...that could be a good story to revisit.

    Assuming we get some traction with another book club consider it added to the poll.

    I know how it is. When Hellion suffers in a book, it affects you. It affects your life.

    I'm totally up for more book club. And more Hellion. Though I also want ro read a book I haven't read yet, since Magik ended up being a surprise classic.

    I'm loving the idea of celebrating Carlos Pacheco's art - but I'll go for a different story and suggest his brief but fantastic run with Joe Kelly. It's just 4 issues so short and sweet.

    I am definitely in for another one.

    I like the idea of reading something that features Pacheco’s work. Any objections to choosing a book featuring him?

    I think it's a wonderful idea. Unless I'm forgetting something, his X-related works we could vote for on a poll would be the following:

    Original run on adjectiveless with Scott Lobdell (Shang-Chi arc to OZT)
    Adjectiveless run with Joe Kelly
    Uncanny X-Men run with Kieron Gillen
    Excalibur with Warren Ellis
    Perhaps Starjammers with Ellis as well?

    If we're tallying votes, I'd like mine to go here--an arc weirdly pertinent to current X-books, with some stunning art from Carlos

    Oh yes, how could I forget. That was when I first fell in love with Pacheco's art and actually started liking Bishop who until that point I had never really been into.

    Okay I'll get a poll up soon and we can take a few days to let everyone vote. It might have to be after Thanksgiving as I'm busy with work and the holiday until then but it definitely won't take me 3 months this time lol.
