X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope
Issue 54: District X Part 3

Preview:

“As glad as I am to see you so upbeat, there are a few serious matters I was hoping to discuss with you, father to son.”

“Can it wait, dad?” groaned Warren, “They’re about to show the clip of Creed getting cuffed again!”

“I’m afraid it can’t,” said the older Worthington as he hit the pause button on his TV much to his son’s dismay.

“Oh come on! They were just getting to the part where his eyes looked like they were about to explode!” Warren complained.

“You can watch it later. We really should talk about what you’ve done here. This is a big deal for us and I’m not just talking about the company or Graydon Creed.”

“Oh…I see,” said the winged mutant, picking up on his father’s undertone, “Were you hoping to make a father/son moment out of this or something? As happy as I am, you can’t expect this to overshadow all the times you’ve messed up.”

“I’m not saying it should. I understand I still have a long ways to go in that respect. But I was hoping this could be the beginning of something new. Not just for us, but for our family as a whole.”

“What are you getting at, dad?”

Warren Jr. rose up and sighed. It was never easy talking to his son about these issues, even when they were both in a good mood. But he may not get another chance like this.

“Son, this whole endeavor to bring you into the company so you could watch over the Friends of Humanity wasn’t just about making amends. There’s another more pragmatic side to it,” the older man said.

“Why am I not surprised?” said Warren dryly, “Is it possible for you to not have ulterior motives for once in your life?”

“I’m sorry, but it goes back to that naïve notion I’ve been holding onto all these years. Even when we were at our most distant, I still have a sincere hope that you will one day take over this company and lead it as my father did before me.”

“You think after just one success like this I want to throw everything away with the X-men and follow in the family business?”

“I’m not asking you to throw anything away, Warren. I don’t want a repeat of what happened with Candy. I’m just leaving it on the table for you. Is it so much to ask that I be able to entertain such hopes?”

Warren looked at his father cynically. He set aside his wine glass and got up as well. He found himself looking away, having seen that desperate gaze in him before. It was usually easy to brush off. After he drove Candy away from him, he swore he would never follow the path laid out for him by his father. But with these recent events, he wasn’t so sure.

In the meantime I've refined my craft through fanfiction. I've written many stories, most of the X-men, on various sites. But none have been quite on this scale. X-men Supreme is my effort to make a true, genuine marvel universe that you would expect in a published comic. I'm treating it as if Marvel Comics themselves tasked me with writing this series. Think of it as another Ultimate universe, the same characters with a new and modern twist. As such, it'll be updated like a real comic. The updates will come bi-weekly and on Fridays. Also like a real comic, I accept criticism from readers and I hope everybody takes the time to provide feedback for each issue or just shoot me a message if you want to hear directly from me. I have many stories to tell and I hope to keep this series going a long time!

I hope you all enjoy X-men Supreme as much as you would enjoy any X-men comics. I look forward to this ambitious project and thank you for being a part of it.

Excelsior!

Whenever I'm close to the end of an important arc in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, I tend to have all sorts of mixed feelings. The end of every arc is an accomplishment, but at the same time it's also a staging ground for the next big shift in the X-men Supreme mythos. Part of good storytelling involves setting up the stories of the future with the events of the present. The journey the X-men are currently undertaking is long and tedious. It promises to have many twists and turns along the way. The events of District X promise to reverberate in a profound way moving forward. The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is in the midst of various plots, but they are all linked together within a single web. It may seem messy now, but I promise you it's building towards something big! That big moment cannot happen until the District X story is resolved. It is just about complete and as such I've prepared a brief preview here here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

Also, I've been working hard to get my pics section for the Goblin Queen up to date. I know it seems like she's been getting most of the attention lately and there's a reason for that. I had a large number of pics stored before she was introduced into X-men Supreme and it's been tedious getting them all uploaded. Thankfully, I'm almost complete! Soon, the Goblin Queen's section will be up to date and I can dedicate more time to finding pics for other sexy X-women!

The end of the District X arc will lead to some major shifts that will open new conflicts while revisiting old ones. It will also allow me to do some work on the bios. I know I said I've been working on that for a while and I mean it. The first bio I want to post after District X is Alex Summers. I thought about posting it beforehand, but I didn't want to risk any spoilers. I generally try to introduce new characters after their first big arc. Once he's up, I'll see if I can develop other bios from the mutants of District X. The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is a big world and it's only going to get bigger. As always, I strongly encourage everyone to provide feedback by contacting me or posting it on each issue of the series. There's so much more to come so the more feedback you can provide the better! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

It's been a big week for Marvel comics and I hope to add to it with the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I saw the Avengers movie and it certainly raised the bar for comic books everywhere. I have every intention of trying to meet that bar with X-men Supreme. I don't have Joss Whedon's star power or the resources to make a movie so I have to do the best with what I can offer. Right now, the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is my best contribution to the world of Marvel comics. It may not be much, but I'm making it the best it can be. X-men Supreme is in the midst of a major arc in Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. The X-men have crossed paths with the mutants of District X and it promises to lead to a very public mutant spectacle, not to mention a rather bitter family reunion between Cyclops and his brother. How bad will it get and how will the Friends of Humanity try to exploit it? Well it may not be as big as the final battle in Avengers, but it's here and it promises to make a mark on X-men Supreme.

Issue 53: District X Part 2

Also, I haven't forgotten about the pics section. I still have a number of pics for the Goblin Queen that I haven't gotten around to posting. I managed to get a few more posted this time around. You can check them out in the Goblin Queen section of the sexy X-Ladies area. I've gotten a few questions about the Goblin Queen lately and I just want to say right now that yes, she will show up again. I can't say whether or not it'll be in X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. That remains to be seen, but for now rest assure there will be some other famous X-women making their debut very soon!

It's a great time to be a Marvel Comics fan. I hope I can continue to add to it with the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I have some major events planned for X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. The seeds have already been sewn and if you've been following closely, you'll have some idea of what to expect! Once the District X arc is over, I hope to make a few updates to the bios section. I'm also always open to more contributions to the pics section. If you have anything you would like to submit, contact me and I'll be happy to post it. More importantly, please contact me and let me know what you think of this latest issue and every issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Feedback is very important and it'll only grow more important as X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope nears it's biggest event to date! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

It's a big day for Marvel comics fans all over the country! Today is the day that the Avengers movie finally comes out. I'm very excited as I'm sure every Marvel fan is, but my excitement over the Avengers has not made me negate my work with the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I still work hard to ensure that X-men Supreme continues to move forward. As it just so happens, the X-men are in the midst of a major three-part arc in this fanfiction series. District X is an arc that brings to light the more social aspects of the human/mutant conflict the X-men confront. It's not all just fighting Magneto and giant robots. The X-men have always been a metaphor for civil rights and this arc strikes at the heart of that conflict. The next part will pit mutant against human, brother against brother, and so much more! As such, I've prepared a brief preview here here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

While many comic book fans are obsessing over the Avengers movie, I will still do my part to keep X-men prominent here on X-men Supreme. I've had a few requests at times to get other Marvel characters involved in the world of X-men Supreme. Believe me, I wish I could. In an ideal world, I would make Marvel Universe 1015 as exapnsive as 616. Unfortunately, I do not have enough time or energy, nor do I have sufficient incentive. I spend a great deal of time making sure the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is of sufficient quality. So for the time being, I simply cannot include other characters like Spider-Man, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four. But if someone out there is willing to give it a try and respect what I've established here in X-men Supreme, please contact me and I'll be happy to talk! In the meantime, X-men Supreme will continue to update regularly and I hope to have a bio ready for Havok after the conclusion of the District X arc. Until next time, take care and best wishes everybody! Excelsior!

It appears things have finally settled after a string of updates for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. My surgery made this particular update difficult. I had more setbacks with this issue than I've had with X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope than I have had with any other volume. However, through painstaking work and more than one revision I managed to complete the latest issue without delays. And it's a good thing too because this issue is the start of an important, 3-part arc that will both introduce new characters to the world of X-men Supreme and shake up the political landscape in which the X-men live.

I already set the stage for this arc with my previous issue, Issue 51: Stirring Outrage. After dealing with aliens and Mr. Sinister, the X-men must now face a much more pragmatic threat in the Friends of Humanity. Just like in the real world, X-men Supreme is in the midst of a presidential election. Senator Robert Kelly has been banking on anti-mutant sentiment to carry him to the White House. So far, it has worked to his advantage. Now with help from their newest ally, Lilandra Neramani, the X-men hope to turn the tide. How do they plan to do this? Check out the latest issue of X-men Supreme to find out!

Issue 52: District X Part 1

I continue to be encouraged by the generous yet few readers who take the time to comment on my fanfiction series. I work hard on X-men Supreme and I plan on working hard on the many stories I have planned for the future. However, I can't make those plans as awesome as they deserve to be without feedback. So I urge everyone who has been reading and following the X-men Supreme fanfiction series to take the time to comment on this and other issues or contact me with your feedback. Thanks a ton to everyone who helps support X-men Supreme. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

It's been a busy time for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. After my last early update, I'm trying to get back on schedule. As some of you may know, I've been recovering from surgery. I haven't recovered as quickly as I hoped, but that hasn't stopped me from moving forward with X-men Supreme. I understand that Marvel fans and comic book fans in general loathe delays. I do too and I'm doing everything in my power to make sure that they don't happen with this fanfiction series. With that in mind, if my recovery slows me down I will let everyone know. As it stands, I plan on updating on time. Through the process, X-men Supreme has kept me busy and I have a few important updates to annouce.

First and foremost, I've prepared the standard preview for the next issue. I'm still a bit behind, but this is an issue I can't rush unfortunately. It is the first issue of a three-part arc that will introduce a number of new elements to the world of X-men Supreme. The ongoing political struggle with Senator Robert Kelly's presidential run has created numerous upheavals as Issue 51: Stirring Outrage revealed, he's willing to make some rather shady deals to earn his ticket to the White House. This new arc, entitled District X, will add a new dimension to that conflict while also introducing a slew of new characters. Some were already revealed at the end of the last issue. More will be revealed as this arc unfolds. You can get a taste of what X-men Supreme has in store both here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

These new characters will also mean more updates to the bios section. I know I can't prepare a bio for every new character that emerges because doing so would mean revealing too many spoilers, but for some characters I understand it's important to provide more information about who they are and where they've come from. As such, I've prepared a new bio for Charles Xavier's new business partner/love interest, Lilandra Neramani. She's an important character both in the comics and in this fanfiction series so be sure to keep an eye on her because you know Xavier sure will!

Bios - Lilandra Neramani

Lastly, I know it's also been a while since I added a new commission to the pics section. Well thanks to my old friend, Brian Brinlee, X-men Supreme finally has another commission to add to its ever growing catalog. Once again, Mr. Brinlee has brought a scene from X-men Supreme to life. In this case, he took a scene from Issue 26: The Ties That Terrorize where Piotr Rasputin made his X-men Supreme debut. As always, I thank Mr. Brinlee for his generous contribution and if anyone out there is interested in submitting artwork for X-men Supreme, please contact me at any time.

I know this is an extensive update. I would have posted the bios and pics sooner, but my health just won't allow me. I don't plan on having it affect X-men Supreme too much, but if it does I'll be sure to inform all the generous readers who have made X-men Supreme such a wonderful success. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact me at any time. Until the next update, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Since I began the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, I've made it a point to avoid delays at all cost. I've ignored illness, worked through life events, and the general rigors of assembling a quality X-men story to make sure that my readers don't have to wait more than they should for quality Marvel Comics awesome. Well, I've had to put in some extra effort with the latest issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. As you may have noticed, it's coming out a day early. There's a reason for this. I'm scheduled to have surgery tomorrow on my usual update day. Now don't worry. It's nothing serious, but it will incapacitate me for the next few days so I want to make sure that X-men Supreme is up and ready for the wonderful readers that have done so much to support me.

This is an important issue to risk delaying as well. Issue 50: Proposals and Principles set into motion a new conflict in the political arena for the X-men's cause. The presidential election with Senator Robert Kelly has taken a number of twists so far and it's about to take another with the inclusion of Reverend William Stryker and Graydon Creed. X-men fans should recognize those names and understand why that means trouble. That trouble is about to take form and substance while more familiar faces to the world of X-men are ready to show up. I've worked hard to make sure this issue is ready and here it is. Enjoy it a day early, my fanfiction loving friends!

Issue 51: Stirring Outrage

This issue and the previous couple of issues for X-men Supreme have been introducing many new characters. That means you can expect updates to the bios soon. I wish I could have done it sooner, but my surgery will probably delay that. As always, I deeply appreciate all the support I've received for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series thus far. I sincerley hope it continues as more events unfold. Please remember to leave comments in the comments section or contact me with any feedback you may have. Thanks again, everybody! The update schedule for the next issue should be on Friday again. Until then, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

For much of Marvel's history, the X-men have represented a social commentary aspect of their mythos. The X-men have always been seen as a metaphor for minorities and persecuted groups while still being the costumed heroes we comic book fans know and love. I've made some effort to capture that social commentary aspect in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, but I've avoided getting too political until the events of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. Fittingly enough, during this election season I'm telling a story of how the struggles of the X-men and mutants have become a key issue in a presidential election. Senator Robert Kelly is trying to ride the fear and hatred stirred by mutants from the events of X-men Supreme Volumes 1 and 2 right into the White House. The previous landmark 50th issue of X-men Supreme set the stage for a conflict that is as dangerous as it is political. Now a new kind of battle is ready to unfold and it begins in the pages of Issue 51: Stirring Outrage. I've prepared a preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

In addition, I've done a quick update to the Goblin Queen section of my pics section. I've noticed that Madelyne Pryor is a pretty popular character in the annuls of X-men. I promise I'll do my best to fill her section as I have the other X-women!

While I strive to make the X-men Supreme fanfiction series the highest of quality, I also try to make it relevant as the real comics so often are. Part of what makes Marvel awesome is their willingness to tackle real-world issues. X-men Supreme will address those issues in many unique ways that you won't find outside this fanfiction series. If you have any feedback or commentary of your own for how I'm handling this or any other element of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, please contact me and I'll be happy to discss this with you! Thank you everybody for your kind support. Until next time, take care and best wishes!

The X-men Supreme fanfiction series has reached a truly momentous event! In the comics industry, a series that lasts for 50 issues is deemed a success by most measures. I know X-men Supreme can't be put into the same category as other Marvel comics, but I've treated this fanfiction series with the same level of scrutiny that I would any comic. I sincerely want X-men Supreme to be every bit as awesome as the mainline comics while also being unique. When I started this fanfiction series two years ago, I had no idea how far it would go. I can say without hesitation that writing X-men Supreme has been a great joy and I'm glad I could make it to 50 issues. And it's an important issue, no less! The events of The Good, The Bad, The Sinister have left their mark. The events preceding it have also left a number of issues unresolved. Well this issue promises to set the tone for the next conflict! With Senator Robert Kelly making his push for the presidency and Professor Charles Xavier looking to forge a new partnership with Lilandara Neramani (a bio should be coming from her soon by the way), there's much at stake for the X-men. You'll see what I mean when you read the new issue!

Issue 50: Proposals and Principles

One aside I was hoping to mention earlier involved comments. I know I make a big deal about asking for comments on each issue of X-men Supreme, but recently I discovered that the comments function I included in each issue has been abused by spammers. I do not appreciate this. I built this site for X-men fans and fans of Marvel comics. Not for spammers to post their coded spam. Anyone who tries to post spam in the comments section will have their IP addresses blocked and their comments will be deleted. If anyone sees such a message in the comments section, please contact me so I can take care of it.

While spammers are not welcome, other comments or feedback for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is always welcome! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any feedback or criticism. I'm always willing to make X-men Supreme better so make sure you make your feelings known about this fanfiction series! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

March 23rd, 2012

The big 50th issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is almost upon us! I'm working hard to make sure this new issue is worthy of such a milestone. After the events of The Good, The Bad, The Sinister I'm looking forward to developing this fanfiction series further. I've brought in some family drama with the introduction of Gabriel Summers and Madelyne Pryor. Well coming up next, I'll be introducing drama that isn't so familial so to speak! Before Sinister injected himself into the X-men's affairs, the political situation surrounding humans and mutants was taking a turn for the worse. Senator Robert Kelly is making a hard push to bring his anti-mutant agenda to the White House. Well in the course of opposing this agenda, the X-men met up with a mysterious woman named Lilandra Neramani who seems to have an interest in peace. She also appears to have a keen interest in Charles Xavier. That interest will take center stage in this latest issue along with a few other lingering dramas. I've prepared a preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

Also, I threw in another extensive update for the pics section. I updated the pics for Goblin Queen, Kitty Pryde, Mystique, Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, the Scarlet Witch, Cyclops and Jean Grey, and Wolverine and Jean Grey. I know I've put off certain sections while I gather images. Please note that if ever you have any artwork you would like to submit to this website, please contact me and I'll be happy to post it and give you full credit.

As the X-men Supreme fanfiction series approaches the 50th issue, it's more important than ever that I get appropriate feedback for this and other issues that have led up to this point in the series. I've worked long and hard, carrying myself as if Marvel was looking over my shoulder every step of the way. I sincerely want to make this series as awesome as it can be! So please help me boost traffic for this site, which has been stagnant for months now. Please provide feedback so that I can make X-men Supreme the awesome fanfiction series it deserves to be. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

March 18th, 2012

Quick update, X-men Supreme fans! I promised that I would update the bios and pics section once I was finished with The Good, The Bad, The Sinister. Well, I'm making good on that promise. I just finished posting new bios entries for the two major characters that made this arc so big, Mr. Sinister and Madelyne Pryor. These are two characters that had a profound impact in the history of X-men. I couldn't make this fanfiction series complete without getting them involved. However, I felt it was important that I change their backstory significantly for X-men Supreme. Sinister is still Sinister, but Madelyne Pryor has undergone a significant overhaul for a number of reasons. I always thought that Marvel mishandled her history in the comics and never really made Sinister's past clear. I hope to avoid those mistakes with this fanfiction series. I know I didn't fill in all the details with The Good, The Bad, The Sinister. I hope these bios help.

Bio - Goblin Queen

Bio - Sinister

And just another reminder, please remember to review and provide feedback for the lastest issue and every other issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I know I've been saying that a lot, but the traffic and the feedback has been down lately and it's starting to worry me. I work long and hard on X-men Supreme. If fewer and fewer people read it, then it's going to be a lot harder to put so much work into it. So please, from the bottom of my fanboy soul, take some time to review. Thanks again for everyone who has supported this series. Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

Fasten your seatbelt all you X-men Supreme fans! The end of another major arc in this fanfiction series is upon us! I always get excited when X-men Supreme reaches a special point where the story and the characters experience a powerful moment of great change. The Good, The Bad, The Sinister is one of those arcs that will have significant ramifictions over the course of this fanfiction series. It's the first major arc of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope for a reason. It will help set the tone in terms of scale for the other arcs to come. So without further adieu, I hope you all enjoy the climax of this latest entry of X-men Supreme.

Issue 49: The Good, The Bad, The Sinister Part 3

It's always an experience using someone like Sinister in an X-men story, but this was extra special. This was once of those arcs where I really got to do something different with this fanfiction series that you won't see in the comics. Sinister is always a colorful character, but it was the introduction of characters like Madelyne Pryor and Gabriel Summers that really set this arc apart. These are two characters who have very different histories in the comics. I wanted to put a different twist on them and I like to think I've succeeded here. I plan on doing a fully entry in the bios section for these characters within the next few days. So stay tuned if you wish to learn more about the characters as they are in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series.

So another arc has passed and this fanfiction series moves forward. As such, it's all the more vital that I get feedback from all the wonderful readers who take the time to read this series. I say it's vital because I've been getting regular traffic reports for the X-men Supreme website and it's fallen flat for the past few months. I really want to see this website and this fanfiction series grow! That can't happen without feedback. Please post your comments in each issue or contact me at any time with your remarks. Either is fine as long as you help support X-men Supreme. I have so much more I want to do with this series. Please help me make it successful. Thank you and until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

March 9th, 2012

Whenever an arc is set to end, I can't help but get excited! The X-men Supreme fanfiction series has had many twists and turns along the way. Few have been more extreme than those involving Sinister. Whether it's in fanfiction or in the pages of Marvel comics, Sinister has a way of making his mark. This has certainly been the case with The Good, The Bad, The Sinister. He's done more than just abduct Wolverine and scheduled an impromtu family reunion with Jean Grey's wayward cousin, Madelyne Pryor. He's revealed more of the secret history within the world of X-men Supreme. He has ties to Weapon X and the Shi'ar Empire. Now he also has Vulcan on his side. With one issue left in the arc, how many more revelations can that bring? Well you'll all find out soon enough! For now, I've prepared a preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

The end of this arc will also usher in some overdue updates for the X-men Supreme website. I already started a few today. I just updated the bios section for Cyclops and Jean Grey. Some of the information was outdated and in need of an update. After The Good, The Bad, The Sinister ends, I'll include a new entry for Sinister and Madelyne Pryor. I'll also add a pics section for Madelyne since her colorful character and demonic dress sense is so visually stunning.

Please remember that I'm also open to posting other images that others wish to submit. I'm also willing to respond to feedback or discuss ways to make the X-men Supreme website better. Recently, some very generous readers have contacted me with their input. I encourage others to do so. Please write me at any time and I'll be happy to chat! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

The world of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is poised to take a very sinister turn in more ways than one! Two weeks ago, I began a new arc entitled The Good, The Bad, The Sinister. This arc brought Mr. Sinister back into the mix in addition to introducing the X-men Supreme incarnation of Madelyn Pryor, who in this fanfiction series is Jean Grey's deviant cousin. Links to the past and present have been established. Now as this fanfiction series continues, those links will continue to evolve. It all continues in the next issue of this very important arc for X-men Supreme. I worked long and hard on it so I really hope you all enjoy it and take some time to provide feedback for it.

Issue 48: The Good, The Bad, The Sinister Part 2

Now I know I take time out of every update to urge my readers to review my series. And I mean it. I really do want to hear what you all think of X-men Supreme. The traffic and the feedback for this site has been flat or declining. I really want that to change! I work so hard on this fanfiction series and it's really important that I know that people are out there who are as passionate about reading it as I am about writing it. So please contact me or post your comments in each issue. I plan on doing other updates in other parts of the website. Once this arc is over, I'll add some new bios entries. But if anyone has any suggestions for more improvements, I would love to know! I'm willing to post artwork and even other story materials if one is willing to help me with this site! Thank you all and I hope this series continues to grow. Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

I've been hard at work on the next issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. The latest arc, The Good, The Bad, The Sinister, began with a few revelations and a little deception. That's to be expected when a man like Sinister is involved. He has a history of tormenting the X-men in some very creative ways and I hope to capture that essance with the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. While the Sinister Intent arc helped introduce him, this arc will help readers understand what makes Sinister tick in the world of X-men Supreme. Moreover, it'll reveal some major secrets that I've only been hinting at to this point. I'm very excited about this arc and as such I've prepared a preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

While I continue to work on the latest arc for X-men Supreme, I also plan on doing a few updates. This includes new entries in the bios section and the pics section. However, while I am determined to keep these sections up to date, I've been a little disappointed by the lack of reviews and feedback I've been getting lately. It feels like it has been declining since X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope began. I work long and hard on this fanfiction series. It's important that I get feedback and support. I'm always encouraging people to contact me and I mean it. I really do want to know what people think of X-men Supreme and I want feedback so I can make this website better. So please keep that in mind as this fanficiton series moves forward. I want to do so many things with X-men Supreme, but that won't be possible if others don't enjoy it. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the future of this fanfiction series. Excelsior!

The time has come for the first arc of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. This fanfiction series has had it's share of arcs thus far, but none like this! Back in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers, I introduced the X-men Supreme version of Mr. Sinister. The X-men did not defeat him during their first encounter in Sinister Intent. Since then, Sinister has been biding his time and plotting with help from someone who should sound familiar to Jean Grey and fans who know her history. Well now it's time for some of Sinister's many secrets to come out! His history with the X-men and his plans for mutants as a whole is not to be missed. Throughout the history of Marvel comics, Sinister has been behind some of the most nefarious plots for the X-men. This fanfiction series will be no different and it starts with the first issue of this new arc.

Issue 47: The Good, The Bad, The Sinister

There will be many important elements to emerge from Sinister and his dealings with the X-men. Don't expect this to be the last or the most destructive. But I promise all you passionate X-men fans out there that this arc is not to be missed! As always, I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to leave a review and provide feedback. Please contact me with all your comments or questions. I'm happy to listen. Moreover, I've been concerned about the lack of traffic to my website lately. I really want this website to grow along with this fanfiction series. To do this, I'm willing to accept help from anyone willing to provide it. Got a website of your own? Let me know and I'll post it! Got a story you want to share? Let me know and I'll be happy to post it! Got some X-men art? Let me know and I'll be happy to post it! I want this website to be special and in order to accomplish that, I'll need help. So please, if you have something you would like to contribute to the world of X-men Supreme, let me know and let's make this website and this fanfiction series truly special! Excelsior!

X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is off to an eventful start. This fanfiction series has set up some important plots with previous arcs. Some have been revisited. Others haven't. Well as it turns out, X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope hasn't had it's first official multi-part arc yet. So what better time than the return of Mr. Sinister? You saw him make his mark in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers with Sinister Intent. Now he's back and the lingering mystery surrounding one of the X-men's most famous foes is set to be revealed! And rest assured, he won't be alone. The end of Sinister Intent offered some clues as to who he's involved with. The previous issue offered another. It's ready to come together in this crucial moment of this fanfiction series! It begins in an arc entitled The Good, The Bad, and the Sinister. As such, I've prepared a preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

I know I've introduced some new characters thus far for X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. I also know that I usually try to keep the bios up to date when that happens. I haven't been able to due largely to concerns about spoilers. Well after the events of The Good, The Bad, and the Sinister I should finally be able to add some new bios. I want to keep this series comprehensive so that new readers can catch up easily. X-men Supreme is supposed to be a fanfiction series that any fan can get into. There are plenty more stories to tell and some major revelations up ahead. I hope you all enjoy it! Please contact me if you have any questions or feedback. Until then, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

Got a big update today! The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is ready for another update. In addition, I also have some important site updates. But I know that most readers are eager to see the next issue of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. Two issues in and I've already introduced a new array of themes to this fanfiction series. I've tried to highlight the more social aspects of the X-men. They have always been a metaphor for civil rights and the past two issues have brought that into focus. However, the X-men are still seen as superheroes. As such, they face challenges that go beyond politicians if you can believe that. I always intended to add more elaborate threats to the X-men fanfiction series. Well one of thsoe treats emerges today and it involves the X-men taking a trip back to Genosha. Enjoy!

Issue 46: Paradise Mystery

In addition to this new issue, I also did an update of the pics section. I know it's been a while since I updated the ever popular X-women section. I've tried to keep up while keeping the X-men Supreme fanfiction series going. It isn't a huge update, but I did managed to find some great pics of Jean Grey, Rogue, and Mystique. I'm always on the lookout for more so if you happen to have some pics you want to see posted, please contact me and I'll be happy to post them.

Also, please take the time to post feedback on this and every other issue of X-men Supreme if you can. There has been a dip in traffic lately for this website. If I'm not doing something right, I can't correct it if no one tells me. So please provide feedback for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and the X-men Supreme website as a whole. I work long and hard on this site and it's important that I know that others enjoy what I do. Please contact me at any time with feedback and suggestions. Thank you and I hope you all enjoy the new issue. Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

The dog days of winter have set in and the X-men Supreme fanfiction series keeps moving along! I've been keeping warm by my computer screen, churning out more story to move this fanfiction forward. I understand that the past few issues of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope have been a bit political. At a time when the American presidential race is heating up, it's only appropriate that the world of X-men Supreme deal with such issues. At the same time, I understand that there's only so far that political stories can go with a comic book audience. So I'll come out and say right now that politics will not dominate X-men Supreme in this volume or future volums. It will only play a secondary role. With that in mind, the new issue of X-men Supreme takes a break from politics and gets back to the kind of action that I'm sure most X-men fans would appreciate. I've prepared a brief preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

In addition to this preview, I have yet another update to the X-men Supreme Official Panels section. My old friend, MarvelWriter03, has submitted another piece. This time it's a nice rendition of Angel in a unique X-men Supreme look. As always, I deeply appreciate such contributions to this fanfiction series. If anyone else wishes to submit their work to X-men Supreme, please let me know and I'll be happy to discuss it. Or if you just want to talk comics with me, feel free to contact me at any time. There is so much more to come with this fanfiction series and I look forward to sharing it. Excelsior!

It's time to shake things up in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and today a new issue will turn the corner on this unique Marvel universe. This website is nearing 17,000 hits and I'm very excited about where this fanfiction series is heading! Part of what has made the X-men compelling since their inception has been their involvement in social issues. It's not enough for them to just be superheroes. There are others like the Avengers and Spider-Man to carry out that role. The X-men have always stood for far more fundemental issues of being different as outcasts of society. My X-men Supreme special Issue 0: Revelation X showed when the X-men accepted this role in X-men Supreme. The first issue of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope showed just how hostile the world has become to mutants. It's fueling not just tension on Genosha with Magneto. It's also fueling a presidential campaign for Senator Robert Kelly. That campaign takes center stage in this new issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Hope you enjoy it!

Issue 45: Hearts and Minds

The larger conflicts throughout the world of X-men Supreme will continue to expand. X-men has always involved a wide array of conflicts. They can be the more social aspect of mutants or far more elaborate threats that go beyond mutants. Rest assure, there will be many such threats as this series continues to unfold. For now, it's important that readers provide feedback for this and every other issue of X-men Supreme. Please post it in the comments section for each issue or contact me with your comments. Any feedback is welcome and I'm always happy to discuss the world of X-men. Until next time, take care and best wishes!

The first issue of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope was a resounding success. Thank you everyone for your support and generous feedback! The first issue is always the hardest in a new volume. This fanfiction series continues to move forward, following many of the same themes as was demonstrated in Issue 44: Discrimination. The X-men have always been linked to social issues like discrimination and prejudice. I'll be expanding on this in the next issue and throughout X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. I don't just want to tell stories about the X-men as superheroes. I want to show how they can be a real social force. So with that in mind, I've prepared a brief preview of the new issue and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

In addition, I also have a fresh update to the pics section, courtesy of Brian Brinlee. Once again, he was generous enough to take time to do another commission for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. This time he took the big climax from Issue 25: Power Play and brought it to life. It was one of the most volatile moments of X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers and it set the stage for what would happen between Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch later on. Check it out along with the many other wondeful commissions for this fanfiction series in the X-men Supreme Official Panels section.

I know I've said this before, but X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is going to be bigger and more expansive than the previous two volumes. This fanfiction series will start covering more plots and expand to more characters as the story unfolds. Because of this, it's very important that I continue to receive feedback from generous readers. X-men Supreme can only be awesome if there are people who care about it enough to see it continue. I really do enjoy writing this fanfiction series and I want it to be as awesome as possible. So far, I've had some wonderful support from certain readers. I would like that list of readers to increase. If at any time you have questions or comments for this fanfiction series, please don't hesitate to contact me. Until next time, take care and best wishes everybody!

Happy New Year everybody! A new year has begun and so has a new volume of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I'm proud to usher in this new year with an exciting new stage in X-men Supreme. I've worked long and hard on this fanfiction series. I sincerely believe that X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope will take this world of X-men to a new level. The past two volumes have been an experience to say the least. The X-men have not only had to confront bold new plans by Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants. They've had to confront the social upheaval that has resulted from such plans. The end of Volume 2: War Powers brought a very fragile yet very dangerous status quo. But unlike previous volumes, X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope will involve threats that go beyond the conflicts raised by Magneto. Those conflicts begin with the very first issue. As always, I hope you wonderful readers enjoy this exciting new incarnation of X-men.

Issue 44: Discrimination

Make no mistake. X-men Supreme will undergo some significant changes in Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. Some threats and stories will be familiar to veteran X-men and knowledgable Marvel fans. Others will have a unique X-men Supreme style twist that you'll only find in this fanfiction series. I can't give away too much right now, but trust me when I say it's worth waiting for! New threats, new relationships, and a new scale of awesome will make 2012 a great year for X-men Supreme!

As always, I strongly encourage everyone to read and review this series as it unfolds. The more X-men Supreme grows, the more important it is that I get feedback. I want this fanfiction series to be as awesome as possible. I can't do that unless people tell me what they think. Please contact me at any time or post your comments in each issue. I'm open to any kind of feedback so don't be afraid to get in touch with me. Again, I hope you all enjoy X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. Here's to an awesome 2012! Excelsior!

December 30th, 2011

A new year and a new era of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is upon us! X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution established a complicated new world for the X-men. X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers took those complications to the brink of global destruction. Both volumes forged a dangerous set of circumstances that the X-men must navigate. That brings us to X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. The balance of power has been completely reshaped by Magneto's efforts on Genosha. Now mutants have their own country and the governments of the world watch anxiously as this country takes shape. Where could it lead? What consequences has this fragile peace wrought? These are just some of the questions that X-men Supreme Volume 3 will address. In the opening days of the new year, this fanfiction series will pit Marvel's merry band of mutants against a new host of challenges that are literally and figuratively out of this world! I've prepared a brief preview of the first issue here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

Make no mistake. X-men Supreme Volume 3 will be larger in terms of both scale and scope. I plan on introducing many elements into this fanfiction series. Some go beyond the X-men. Some are taken from the greater Marvel universe. As such, it's all the more vital that I receive feedback from the wonderful people who take the time to read my work. I am serious when I say I want to make this fanfiction series the best it can be. The growth of this story means it'll be a greater challenge to write so it's important that I get solid feedback so I can make it work. So if anyone has any comments or questions, please contact me at any time or post it in each issue. Thanks again and here's to a new year of X-men Supreme! Excelsior!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve everybody! I hope all you X-men Supreme fans are having a great holiday. I've worked long and hard to make sure I have a gift to give all those generous supporters who have helped make this fanfiction series so uncanny over the past couple of hears. With X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers and X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 2 complete, I'm ready to offer a very special giant sized story to celebrate the progress of this fanfiction series.

As I stated previously, this one-shot is akin to a Giant Sized issue or an Annual the likes of which Marvel occassionally produces. They're larger than most comics, but contain a much denser story. X-men Supreme has quite a history, but I haven't been able to explore it fully since it began. I've had flashbacks and retellings such as Issue 31: Memory Musings. But that simply isn't enough! I'm ready to take this fanfiction series a step further. That's why I'm so excited about this first of what I hope to be many giant sized one-shots. It tells a story about the past, long before X-men Supreme Issue 1: Mutant Revolution. It tells the story of one of the most vital moments in the history of the X-men Supreme universe. So with great pride, I present to you wonderful fanfiction fans my first Giant Sized X-men Supreme Special.

Issue 0: Revelation X

With this giant sized special, the stage is set for X-men Supreme Volume 3. I've been building it up for a long time now and I'm ready to unleash it to the fanfiction world. X-men Supreme Volumes 1 and 2 followed a certain path of conflict. Well X-men Supreme Volume 3 will take the X-men down an entirely new path. There's a lot of story to tell and I look forward to developing it in the year 2012! As always, I deeply appreciate the support of those who take the time to read and provide feedback. If ever you have any questions or comments on this giant sized special or X-men in general, please contact me at any time. Have a very happy holidays everybody! Until next time, take care and best wishes.

X-men Supreme Volume 3 is on the horizon, but before we venture into the next stage of this fanfiction series I have something very special to announce. I've mentioned it a few times already, but now I'm ready to make it official. Today, I officially announce X-men Supreme Issue 0: Revelation X. Think of it as the X-men Supreme equivilent to an X-men Annual that Marvel puts out or a Giant Sized X-men. It's an extra large one-shot story that takes place before X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution. It tells an important story in the mythos of X-men Supreme. I touched on it only briefly in certain issues of Volume 1 and Volume 2. Now that story is being told in all it's glory.

I got the idea for this one-shot while writing Issue 31: Memory Musings. In that issue, Thunderbird told the story about the early days of the X-men. They didn't always operate as they did after Issue 1. For a time, the X-men were a group of masked vigilantees that used their powers to fight crime and assist in disaster relief. This was before mutant affairs became so complicated with the events in X-men Supreme Volumes 1 and 2. But then something changed. The X-men had to unmask and show the world who they were. It was an important moment in the history of X-men Supreme and it's an important story to tell. So a week from today, I will tell it in a giant sized issue that I hope X-men fans will enjoy.

I'm very excited about this. I hope everyone else who has been following the X-men Supreme fanfiction series enjoys it as well. In addition, I've been trying to add more material to the X-men Supreme website. I updated the links section recently. For a while now I've been posting some extra one-shots on adultfanfiction.net. I could have posted them on my website, but if I post certain material on this website then the content may be too explicit for the readers. So I'm keeping it on adultfanfiction.net. Please check out the link and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks again to everybody who has been kind enough to support this fanfiction series. There's so much more I want ot do and X-men Supreme Issue 0: Revelation X is just part of that vision. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me any time. Until then, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

This is it! Another volume of X-men Supreme Reflections has officially ended. This has been a very fun little series to work on. It has allowed me to refine this fanfiction series in ways that help tie together all those special elements that make Marvel's famous X-men the awesome characters they are. I knew I wanted to give the Original Five the Supreme Reflections treatment at one point. Now that I've reached the end, I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The final entry of this round of Supreme Reflections is Iceman. I felt it was fitting to end with him because he went through so many emotional upheavals throughout X-men Supreme Volume 1 and 2 and it finally culminated in the final issue. Now I have a chance to reflect on all these issues. I hope you all enjoy it! I want it to be as cool as Iceman deserves.

Supreme Reflections: Bobby Drake

Now that X-men Supreme Reflections: Volume 2 is done, I can finally announce something that I've had planned for quite a while now. Before I get started on X-men Supreme Volume 3, I want to throw in a little something extra. Every now and then, Marvel will take some time to publish a giant sized one-shot that tells a largely self-contained X-men story. These usually come in the form of annuals or specials. Well since I'm treating X-men Supreme like a real comic book series, it's only fitting that I do one as well. So I'm proud to announce X-men Supreme Issue 0, a special one-shot that takes place before the beginning of this series and covers a special adventure with the Original Five X-men that we all know and love. It will come out in two weeks just in time for Christmas. Think of it as one last bonus before I begin Volume 3! I don't want to give too much away, but I promise to have more details within a week!

I have so many big plans for X-men Supreme. I hope you all are enjoying it thus far. As always, I urge everyone to take the time to read and review my work. There's a review function for every issue and you can always contact me if you wish to discuss this fanfiction series or X-men in general. I'm always open to feedback. Thanks again for all your support. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

December 7th, 2011

Just a few days left before the next issue of X-men Supreme Reflections is updated! I'm very excited about the end of one era of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and the beginning of another. But while I've been working hard on moving this fanfiction series forward, I haven't forgotten about the finer aspects to the X-men Supreme website. I've been meaning to update the pics section for a while now, but not with the usual influx of new pics. I've been getting a few comments lately about how cluttered some of the sections have become. When I started posting pics of X-women and the Original Five, I had no idea the site would get as big as this. It has since grown to a point where the size of the sections has become so large that it's become too sluggish to load. So after some tweaking with the code, I changed every section to a thumbnail gallary. This way it's easier to navigate and easier to load. So please check it out when you get a chance.

So as X-men Supreme continues to evolve, I'll be developing new twists and turns with which to make this fanfiction series great. After the end of X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 2, I'll have a special announcement for the immediate future of this fanfiction series. Be sure to stay tuned because this will help set the tone for X-men Supreme Volume 3. There's so much more I want to do with X-men Supreme and I really appreciate the support I've recieved thus far. I hope that support continues and grows as this fanfiction series grows. So until the next update, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

December 2nd, 2011

It's getting to be that time of year again and I'm not just talking about the holidays. The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is entering a critical area. I'm making a big push to finish up Supreme Reflections Volume 2 so I can start on X-men Supreme Volume 3 by the end of the year. So far I've covered four of Marvel's famous Original Five X-men. There's only one left, the ever lovable Bobby Drake. Like Angel before him, he underwent some serious drama throughout X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers. His relationship with Polaris has been a major driving force throughout this fanfiction series. Now that it's over, he can take time to reflect. That's what I hope to do with the final entry of X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 2. I've prepared a preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

While my focus is on completing Supreme Reflections, I'm also getting ready to make a major announcement for a very special event for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Every so often, Marvel Comics will take time from continuing their epic stories to do one-shots that help add depth and history to their universe. Well the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is no different. I don't plan on following the events of this series in a completely linear fashion. I want to explore the entire history that I've set up in this unique brand of X-men. Now that I have two volumes of fanfiction under my belt, I'm ready to explore that history. I hope others are willing to explore it as well! So stay tuned for some big announcements. If you have any questions or comments in the meantime, feel free to contact me at any time. Until then, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

The family dramas in the world of X-men Supreme continue with Supreme Reflections. This fanfiction series has dug deep into the personal affairs of the X-men on many occassions. Previous entries with Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Beast have brought out many revelations that will have a significant impact in the future of X-men Supreme. One character that endured some serious personal hardships towards the end of X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers was Warren Worthington III. He's rich. He's handsome. He has wings that allow him to fly. Yet he has a huge problem with his family name. Why is that? Some major clues have already been laid out. Now Supreme Reflections adds more layers to that cake. I worked long and hard on it so I hope you all enjoy learning more about everyone's favorite winged X-man!

Supreme Reflections: Warren Worthington III

So there's only one entry left for this volume of Supreme Reflections. After that, I have something very special planned for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. It's not quite time for Volume 3 to begin yet. Before this fanfiction series can move forward, it's important to flesh out the past. Supreme Reflections can only do so much. I have something much larger in mind that will add to it! Stay tuned for more updates. Since the holidays are upon us, additions to the pics and bios section will be slower. Rest assure, they will come. But for now, my focus is on completing Supreme Reflections and setting the stage for X-men Volume 3.

As always, I strongly urge everyone to review each entry of this fanfiction series. You can do so either by posting comments on each issue or by contacting me directly. Either way is fine. Thanks again to all those who have supported this fanfiction series. There's still plenty more to come! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

November 18th, 2011

I wasn't able to update within a week this time, but that doesn't mean I'm still not hard at work on the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Volume 2 of Supreme Reflections is past the halfway point. I've had a lot of fun developing the Original Five X-men that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made so endearing nearly a half-century ago. They've help me set the stage for what I have planned in X-men Supreme Volume 3. But that's still a ways off. I have much more I want to explore with X-men Supreme Reflections. I've had a great time developing Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Beast. However, none of them went through quite the same turmoil at the end of X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers as Angel. He not only confronted issues with his father. He came face to face with his ex-girlfriend, who broke his heart yet again. What's the story behind this? Well that's what Supreme Reflections is going to explore! I've prepared a preview both here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

As the X-men Supreme fanfiction series prepares for it's thrid volume, it's even more important that I get plenty of feedback. I've noticed the web traffic tapering off with X-men Supreme lately. I know it may be because it's in between volumes, but I would love to find ways to keep this fanfiction series and this website strong. I plan on doing a major special after Supreme Reflection is done. I hope it helps boost this website and this fanfiction series. But if anyone else has any suggestions or feedback, I'd love to hear it! Please contact me at any time and I'll be happy to listen. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

November 11th, 2011

It took a week of hard work and cost some extra sleep, but I did it! I completed the next entry of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series in a mere week. It's a lot harder than it sounds, even for Supreme Reflections. I try to put as much detail and care into X-men Supreme as possible. That's hard to do in just a week, but with the holidays coming up and continued support from my wonderful readers I was overdue. X-men Supreme is in a transition period. Supreme Reflections is a time to dig deeper into Marvel's famous X-men as they are in this fanfiction series. Cyclops and Jean Grey were a pleasure to write, especially with all the drama they endured in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers. But they weren't the only ones. Hank McCoy had his share of drama as well. It led to some big moments for him and now with Supreme Reflections, the larger parts of his story can be told. Enjoy!

Supreme Reflection: Hank McCoy

In addition to a new entry into X-men Supreme: Supreme Reflection, I also proud to announce that I've collected another commission from my good friend, Brian Brinlee. Once again, he has contributed his wonderful artistic talent to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. His latest piece takes a scene right out of Issue 24: Family and Fiends Part 3 and highlights a memorable flashback with Nightcrawler and Deadpool. Please check it out in my X-men Supreme Official Panels section. Thanks again, Brian!

As always, I strongly encourage everyong to post feedback on this and every other update for this fanfiction series. X-men Supreme thrives on feedback and it's important I know how to make this series better. Please contact me at any time if you wish to discuss this fanfiction series or just talk X-men. Thanks again to all those who have lent their support! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

November 8th, 2011

I've been hard at work on the latest entry of Supreme Reflections for X-men Supreme. This fanfiction series has plenty of amazing stories ahead of it along with some deeper insights. I understand that waiting for it can be tortuous at times as is the case for every X-men story that comes along. Now I know that I've maintained a biweekly schedule for X-men Supreme for most of it's history. Well I would like to make those updates weekly, but as if often the case time just works against me. However, I managed to work ahead recently with this fanfiction series. As such, I'm going to try and update the next issue of Supreme Reflections sooner. The next entry is Hank McCoy, everyone's favorite ape-man X-men. I haven't had a lot of time to dig deeper into Hank's history as I have others. Well it's about time his past come to light! So I've prepared a preview here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

Now I hope to finish in time for an update at the end of the week. If I don't, I'll be sure to post a message here along with an explanation. I don't imagine anything getting in the way of this update, but sometimes new issues come up. I'm deeply grateful of all the support I've had for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I really hope it continues. Such support encourages me to push this fanfiction series ahead. Please remember that active feedback and reviews help make X-men Supreme better. Please contact me with your comments at any time. I'll be happy to listen! Until then, take care and best wishes everybody! Excelsior!

November 1st, 2011

Hope everyone isn't too stuffed with Halloween candy to enjoy a new entry in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! I've been hard at work on the next installment for Supreme Reflections and this time I face one of the biggest challenges any X-men writer can possibly face. It involves writing a solid Jean Grey. I can't think of too many comic book characters, X-men or otherwise, that evoke such heated emotions from fans. In both fanfiction and comics, she divides entire fanbases because her personal story as well as her character is just so compelling. Capturing that in an entry of Supreme Reflections was a major challenge. Dare I say, it's the most challenging thing I've written for this fanfiction series to date. But I'm proud of how it turned out and I hope other X-men fans approve.

Supreme Reflections: Jean Grey

I'm very interested in getting feedback for this entry. I know there are plenty of Jean Grey fans out there with very strong opinions. I hope they've enjoyed my take on her in X-men Supreme thus far. Rest assured, I have big plans for her later on in this fanfiction series. However, part of what makes X-men Supreme so deep is the variations between my version of the characters and their comic, movie, and cartoon counterparts. Jean Grey is a part of a much larger tapestry of characterization and I'll continue to explore that with Hank McCoy's entry in the next installment of Supreme Reflections.

Speaking of which, I'm going to try and update sooner this time. I know I've stuck to a strict biweekly schedule for most of X-men Supreme, but I've been on a bit of a roll with Supreme Reflections so I hope to get the next entry out a little quicker. If I can't, I'll let everyone know here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog. However long it takes me, I encourage everyone to give me feedback on my work. Please post your comments in each issue or contact me at any time. I appreciate all your support and hope to continue expanding the world of X-men Supreme. Until next time, take care and best wishes!

It's a time of transition for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Writing Supreme Reflections is very different compared to writing the actual X-men Supreme story. However, it's rewarding in a very unique way. I love the X-men and I love the characters that Marvel has created. They are rich and engaging in ways that go beyond comics. So writing these issues where I get to dig a little deeper into what makes these characters tick is trilling. I enjoyed how Cyclops's reflection turned out, but I'll have a much greater challenge with Jean Grey. She's a character that divides many fans. Whether you love her or hate her, it's hard to understate her impact on the X-men and on Marvel comics. I've been anxiously awaiting her entry into Supreme Reflections. I hope her addition in this fanfiction series will be accepted by her many fans. I'll work extra hard on this one. I've already prepared a preview both here and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

I hope to speed things up with Supreme Reflections. If possible, I'm going to try and update sooner than my usual biweekly schedule. I'm not sure if I'll be able to because fanfiction of this scale is quite time consuming. However, I will do my best to ensure that my fine readers have something to look forward to! Stay tuned to this website and the blog for updates. If there is a change, I will announce it before I follow through. All the support I've received thus far has certainly helped. I hope more comes as I develop this fanfiction series. If you have questions or comments, please contact me at any time. Until next time, take care and best wishes!

The X-men Supreme fanfiction series will not miss a beat! Just because X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers is over, it doesn't mean the story has to stall. But before this fanfiction series moves forward, it's important to reflect on what has happened in the past volume and how it has affected the characters. That's the primary point of my Supreme Reflections series. It takes some time to step outside the plot and focus on the characters. Part of the reason that Marvel has had so much success with X-men is because of how compelling their characters are. I want to honor that and once again I hope Supreme Reflections can do so. The first character to get his reflection is Cyclops. He's the first X-man and one of the most iconic. He was a difficult character to write, but he's a fan favorite so I hope this first dose of Supreme Reflections does him justice!

Supreme Reflections: Cyclops

The X-men Supreme fanfiction series has a long ways to go and it will be the powerful nature of Marvel's iconic characters that will carry it. As I announced previously, I'll be focusing on the Original Five for this round of Supreme Reflections. That means the first class of X-men will get their shot, but expect them to undergo plenty of changes in the events to come! Volume 3 will take many of these characters to new heights and I look forward to seeing X-men Supreme evolve along the way. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me at any time and I urge everyone to provide feedback. Until next time, take care and best wishes!

X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers is in the books. This fanfiction series has undergone great change, but now it is time to move forward. But part of moving forward involves tidying up the past, which I plan to do with another round of Supreme Reflections. As some of you will recall, I took some time after X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution to do some short vignettes focused on certain characters. It was a way to more thoroughly explore certain characters and show how the events of these stories affected them. X-men has always been very character driven so I think it's important to take some time to focus on the characters. With that in mind, I'm proud to being Supreme Reflections Volume 2!

This time, I'll be focusing on the Original Five X-men for this fanfiction series. Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Iceman, and Beast will each get an entry for this round of Supreme Reflections. The world of X-men Supreme was built around these five original X-men that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created all those years ago and I wanted to wait until some significant events had passed before digging deeper into their personalities. It's an important time for these characters because X-men Supreme Volume 2 affected each of them and X-men Supreme Volume 3 will explore those effects. The first entry will begin next week and focus on Cyclops. I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.

X-men Supreme will undergo some important changes in the events to come, but before I get to those changes it's important that this fanfiction series flesh out these characters. I hope to get them out fairly quickly so stay tuned for more updates on when I'll be posting them. If ever you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at any time. Until next time, take care and best wishes!
