RS: Dear reader: Do you like X-Men? What’s your favorite era? When Claremont first takes over after Giant-Size X-Men #1 radically altered the title? Or maybe When Morrison re-invigorated the line with New X-Men? Or maybe the comics right now, in the wake of Jonathan Hickman et al annihilating our expectations for what X-Men comics can be and giving something shockingly new? Pull up a chair. Really though…it is time for a bit of a paradigm shift. Well…from where I’m standing, it looks like we started a revolution. They said we couldn’t do it, that we couldn’t merge comics and wrestling. No more running, no more hiding, just pure, unadulterated, glorious literary expertise. Two weeks to get ready for what was going to happen next. We ain’t readin’ web columns anymore, we’re writin’ them and it’s about time the pillars of both comics journalism and wrestling journalism got knocked on their ass. No longer underbooked, no longer overlooked, we took our hellfire and forged something undeniable– we forged PanelPerView.Ĭharlie Davis: That’s right. In this business, to be the best you gotta write the best– and brother, let me tell you that Charlie and I– we wrote the damn best.
NO ONE BELIEVED AND YET WE SEIZED OUR TIME.
PARADIGM SHIFT COMIC PROFESSIONAL
No one could make a hit column introducing comics readers to the world of professional wrestling by writing 6 thousand word articles about demon clowns and Grant Morrison. And when a spark was struck, those souls burst into infernal flame.
What we didn’t know was that all that time, all that contentment, was just our souls growing tinder-dry. Content to write about one, or the other. Robert Secundus: For years, years we sat content. “One day you will all come to my funeral just to make sure I stay dead…but today is not that day.”
