After the many many hiccups with Marvel comics published properties being owned in film rights form by 20th Century Fox, it seems the idea for an X-Men live action television series is finally moving forward.  The 90’s cartoon series was on Fox, and remains one of my favorite shows of all time (right behind Disney’s Gargoyles, Fox’s The X-Files, and […]
