The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is nearing yet another milestone. The 75th issue of this epic fanfiction series is almost here! It still amazes me that X-men Supreme has been going on for this long. Watching this series unfold before my eyes has been an amazing experience and I hope those who have been following this fanfiction series feel the same way. As X-men Supreme has unfolded, I've explored many familiar characters and even a few not-so-familiar characters from the world of X-men and Marvel comics. There are still plenty more I've yet to introduce, but so far I haven't attempted to create any characters of my own for this fanfiction series. Well with the 75th issue, that changes.
One of the most difficult challenges in fanfiction is creating good original characters that help complement the story and don't detract from it. I've read many stories over the years that have attempted to create original characters and most of the time they fail. They either become too Gary Stu/Mary Sue or they completely distract from the other characters. I get that writers of all kinds are very passionate about the characters they create on their own, but the characters themselves can't be come the sole focus of the story. And that's going to be the challenge for X-men Supreme as I introduce not one but two original characters that you won't find anywhere outside the X-men Supreme fanfiction series.
These characters are not those who will take sides immediately. They are characters who are a direct result of the recent events in X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear. With President Robert Kelly now in office and eager to confront the mutant menace, many are going to be vying for his influence. Men like Reverend William Stryker already have a tenuous place in his inner circle and that someone is going to have a bold agenda. What lies ahead for the X-men and the new President will shape the course of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series moving forward. For a brief peak at what you can expect, check out the brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
Making an original character for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is definitely going to be a challenge. I'm under no illusions that some fans may not like these characters or my efforts to inject my own creations into X-men. I understand that. But I hope that readers out there will give these characters a chance to help further the stories of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. And since these characters are my own creations, I sincerely hope that some will take the time to provide feedback or contact me if they have any concerns. I really do want to make this work and I'm open to any kind of suggestion or input that will help the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Until next time, take care and best wishes, true believers! Excelsior!

The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is ready to continue with a fresh new one-shot arc. For a while now, I've been focusing on larger multi-issue stories. I understand those can be hard to follow at times so I'm hoping to be more concise with this new issue. I always make an effort to create a fanfiction series that offers a wide range of stories, characters, and arcs. WIth the recent election of Robert Kelly as President of the United States, a lot of those arcs have been somewhat political. There's definitely a place for that in the world of X-men, but as I said previously part of the appeal of X-men is the diversity of stories offered. That diversity includes stories that involve forces that are more nefarious than politics, if you can believe that.
Throughout the history of Marvel comics, the X-men have been no strangers to magic. I knew when I began the X-men Supreme fanfiction series that I wanted a few major arcs centered around magic. That's what led me to craft the ongoing story surrounding Nightcrawler and his girlfriend, Amanda Sefton, and the secrets that she and her mother guard. From the beginning, I've linked Nightcrawler's history with certain mystical elements. His mysterious father, Azazel, took magic very seriously. He made it clear to his son that there are threats in the world that he must be ready to confront. Unfortunately, he died before he could reveal the nature of these threats. Now one of them has found its way to his girlfriend, Amanda. And that threat has a name and she's already shown up recently in the pages of X-men Supreme. Her name is Selene Gallio.
She has already made her presence felt in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series as the Black Queen of the Inner Circle. She was the one that lured the Phoenix Force into Jean Grey during the Phoenix Saga and she held her own against the Phoenix Force in the final battle. But her story goes beyond the Inner Circle and the Phoenix. She is now ready to reveal some of her dark agenda to the X-men and it begins with a daring clash in this latest issue and Nightcrawler's girlfriend is at the center of it all.
The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is a large and diverse universe with many powerful forces causing conflict for the X-men. There are many stories for me to tell in this series. I have big plans for all of them, but for them to be as awesome as they need to be it is important that fans and readers take the time to provide feedback. If I don't know I'm doing something wrong, then I won't be able to fix it. So please take the time to post comments in this and every other issue of X-men Supreme. Or you can always contact me directly if you wish. As always, I deeply appreciate those who do take the time to provide feedback. Please know that I make an effort to respond to it in kind. I hope everyone continues to enjoy the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

It's a great day to be a Marvel fan and a fan of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I don't go out of my way to time my updates in accord with big Marvel events, such as the release of Iron Man 3. But sometimes it just works out that way! While I have every intention of seeing this movie, I haven't let my excitement hinder my work on the next issue of X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear! The first arc is complete. Robert Kelly is now President of the United States and life for mutants in the world of X-men Supreme just got a lot more difficult. Now I have a lot of big stories planned in this fanfiction series that will stem directly from President Kelly's actions. But that's not what the next issue is about!
I try to avoid focusing on one major issue in X-men Supreme. Otherwise it gets boring. Part of the appeal of X-men as a series is that they deal with such a diverse range of threats. They don't just deal with human/mutant conflict, Sentinel robots, or mutant armies led by Magneto. They deal with aliens, demigods, and magic. I've already explored a few of those plots with the arrival of the Shi'ar in Issue 46: Paradise Mystery and the X-men have already dealt with magic-based threats like Selene and Juggernaut. And while I know the X-men recently dealt with some pretty powerful forces in the Phoenix Force, some of those threats just can't wait!
That is the subject of the next issue of X-men Supreme. One of the ongoing plots that I began back in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers involved Nightcrawler's girlfriend, Amanda Sefton and her mother. The two of them have been guarding a very dark secret about their lives and their past. Those secrets are going to become a major factor in future stories of X-men Supreme and some of those secrets will be revealed in this new issue! In the process, a familiar foe will re-emerge to make life all the more difficult for Nightcrawler and Amanda. Who is this threat? Check out the brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I've also got another quick update to the pics section to add. I know it seems like I've only been focusing on the sexy X-women of Marvel for a while. I apologize if I gave the impression that I wasn't paying attention to other kinds of pics to add to X-men Supreme. I have been collecting images of various types and one section that I haven't updated in a long while is the section full of team pics. It's rare to find quality group shots that are worth adding to the X-men Supreme archive, but I think I've found some worthy additions!

We're entering the busy summer movie season for Marvel and comic books in general. Big events and big moments lie ahead for Marvel, DC Comics, and the fans. I want to make the X-men Supreme fanfiction series a part of that so I hope to bring forward some very exciting events that will coincide nicely with what Marvel is doing. And in order to make those events sufficiently awesome, it's important that I continue to get feedback. I actually got a few really generous emails from a few very generous fans lately! I've made it a point to respond to them and I'll gladly respond to others as well. So please contact me at any time and I'll be happy to discuss X-men Supreme, X-men, comics, and everything in between! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Hail to the chief! It's Inauguration Day in the world of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and President Elect Robert Kelly is in for the rough day to say the least. But he's in good company. X-men Volume 4: Politics of Fear has already introduced a new threat to this fanfiction series and the X-men are poised to clash with him. He's no Magneto, but he's dangerous in his own right. His name is Alexander Kahn, but he goes by Stryfe. He's not the Stryfe you've seen in the pages of Marvel comics. He's a very different character with a very different agenda. And that agenda involves making Robert Kelly's inauguration historic for all the wrong reasons. And it's up to the X-men to stop him. Can they do it? And what part will Callisto play in this affair? Find out in the latest issue of X-men Supreme!
The X-men are poised to clash with Stryfe and he's poised to further disrupt the fragile situation between humans and mutants. While in recent times I have introduced some cosmic and mystical elements into the world of X-men Supreme, such as the Phoenix Force, the Shi'ar, and Juggernaut, the major theme of X-men is still that of a minority trying to carve their place in a world that hates and fears them. That sort of story is difficult to keep telling.
Anyone who has been following Marvel comics lately knows how the X-men's mission has changed significantly over the years. Now they're much more integrated with the Avengers and are given the label of hero for the most part. But in the world of X-men Supreme, that's not a label they can rely on. Some see the X-men as heroes. Some see the X-men as a menace. I'll be exploring that more thoroughly in X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear. I'm going to focus more on that aspect of X-men moving forward in this fanfiction series because I think that's an important part of their core. There will always be a place for the cosmic and mystical elements, but I want them to be secondary. The X-men are still, at their core, symbols of minorities and their struggles.
With this in mind, I really hope everyone following X-men Supreme takes the time to provide feedback or at the very least tells their fellow comic book loving friends about this fanfiction series. X-men Supreme has grown quite a bit over the past few years. It has already lasted longer than some runs in X-men comics. I have every intention of continuing it for even longer, but I can only make it as awesome as it deserves to be with the help of feedback and support! So please take the time to contact me with your comments or thoughts or post your feedback directly in the issue. Either way is fine! Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to support the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and I hope it continues. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear is off to a fast and chaotic start! The inauguration of Robert Kelly is already quite a spectacle, but a new threat in a familiar X-men foe named Stryfe looks to make it even historic in all the wrong ways. This fanfiction series has used a variety of villains and threats, but Stryfe is a threat of a differnet kind. He's not Magneto. He's not Sinister. And he's not Graydon Creed. He's got his own reason for sparking conflict between humans and mutants. While Stryfe does have a history in X-men and with Marvel comics, his plan in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is quite different.
Since I began this fanfiction series, I've tweaked and twisted the history and backgrounds of numerous characters to varying degrees. Some chracters aren't all that different from their comic counterparts. Characters like Magneto haven't strayed far from what makes him who he is. Some of that is intentional because I want to maintain a certain level of harmony with the ongoing Marvel universe. But for other characters in X-men Supreme, I decided to switch it up a bit more. For some characters, like Bishop, it was purely a matter of logistics. But for someone like Stryrfe, it's more about pragmatics. He's not a very well-developed character in the Marvel comics and I don't think he's been given a lot of depth. So I intend to make Stryfe very unique to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and you'll see just how much different he'll be in the next issue! To get a clue of just what Stryfe is capable of, check out the brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I've also been hard at work collecting more pics. There never seems to be any shortage of graphic images depicting the beautiful women from comic books and that means I've always got something to add to this site! I know I've negated some sections, but I know certain fans of the X-men Supreme website have a strong appreciation for the pics section so I've always been on the lookout for new images. And I've finally gathered enough to update the sections for Rogue and Kitty Pryde. Enjoy!

I'm still very excited about this newest installation of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. And with the launch of X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear, I've noticed some readers making more of an effort to provide feedback. For that, I'm deeply grateful. And I hope to gain more as this fanfiction series continues to unfold. There are some big moments ahead for this fanfiction series. I look forward to exploring them, but the only way I can make them as awesome as they deserve to be is if I keep getting feedback from the wonderful readers of X-men Supreme. So please take the time to tell me what you think about this fanfiction series by either posting your comments on each issue or contacting me directly. Either way is fine! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

It's finally here! I've been working long and hard on it, but the first issue of X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear is finally ready! I've had a lot of fun with X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3 and X-men Supreme Issue 3.1: Sin City Shenanigans, but now it's time to move this fanfiction series forward. Senator Robert Kelly has been elected President of the United States. The X-men have undergone their share of upheavals with recent events like the Phoenix Saga and the departure of Angel from the team. However, they remain strong, ambitious, and ready to confront whatever threat may come from this new era. And they won't have to wait long to face it!
Before Senator Robert Kelly can become President of the United States, he has to survive his inauguration first. That's easier said than done. Being the most powerful man in the most powerful country in the world may have many perks, but it also puts a target on your back and Robert Kelly is about to learn that the hard way. A new not-so-well known figure from X-men lore is poised to enter the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. And one of the challenges with obscure characters is making them relevant when Marvel hasn't really made that character very prominent in comics, movies, or cartoons. Well, I'm ready to take on that challenge with the X-men nemisis known as Stryfe! I revealed him in the preview last week. Now he's ready to take the X-men Supreme fanfiction series by storm on a very important moment! If you think the X-men are in for a rough day, you have no idea, but you're about to get a brief taste with this first issue!
Issue 72: Inauguration Day Part 1
I'm very excited about this new phase in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I'm hoping to get a little bolder with where I'm taking this fanfiction series. I feel like it is now in a position to go in a number of different directions. There are few very specific directions I want to take with X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear. That will lead to some very important moments, but I can only tease so much! In the meantime, I urge everyone who can possibly provide feedback for X-men Supreme to do so. Either contact me directly or post your feedback on this issue in the comments section. Either way is fine! I hope everyone is ready for another wild ride in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

I believe I've made fans of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series wait long enough. Now that X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3 and X-men Supreme Issue 3.1: Sin City Shenanigans are complete, I can finally stop keeping it to myself. X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear is here! That's right! It's official. The next era of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is ready to begin. I chose the title "Politics of Fear" because it deals heavily with the aftermath of the end of X-men Supreme Volume 3: War Powers in which Senator Robert Kelly was elected President of the United States. Now the X-men and mutants everywhere are poised to face enormous scrutiny. They can no longer keep a low profile. The people and the government demand that something be done. The results could be a more secure peace or a very damaging war. And you can expect the X-men to be in the center of it all!
But before anyting can be done in this new era of X-men Supreme, Senator Robert Kelly needs to get through his official inauguration. Every President of the United States must do so and since it is always such a spectacle, it's a perfect target! The X-men know this and that is why it will be the first story in X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear. Professor Charles Xavier knows as well as the President-elect that it doesn't take much in this current climate to spark an all out human/mutant conflict. And before Robert Kelly can even take office, both he and the X-men are going to face a bold new threat that could end any prospect of peace. And the source of that threat is an old foe to the X-men and one they've never seen before. And if you want to see just what X-men character they'll be dealing with, check out the brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
Now I know some may still be upset from having had to wait for so long for the next volume of X-men Supreme. I understand this completely. And to help make up for it, I did an update to the pics section. Specifically, I added a fresh batch of pictures to Emma Frost's section. I've noticed that her section is quite popular for obvious reasons. I hope some fresh images of one of the X-men's most devious and seductive vixen helps make up for the wait!
Emma Frost Pics
Like with every other volume in this fanfiction series, I have high hopes and high expectations for X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear. I want this volume to represent an evolution of sorts for X-men Supreme that I hope will help set it apart from the comics, cartoons, and movies. I've spent the first three volumes taking classic elements from the X-men and telling new stories. I fully intend to continue using those classic elements, but I want to introduce some new themes that you won't find anywhere else in X-men or Marvel comics! And as with every bold new venture, I need the support of the wonderful people who read X-men Supreme! So please take the time to provide feedback on each issue of X-men Supreme or just contact me directly and I'll be happy to chat! Thank you and I hope you enjoy the new world revealed in X-men Supreme Volume 4: Politics of Fear! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Viva Las Vegas and the launch of a very special issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! I'm very excited about this and not just because it brings X-men Supreme one step closer to X-men Supreme Volume 4. I've always had a soft spot for self-contained stories. There's a place for the continuity and epic nature of the arcs in the comics and a fanfiction series. But at times, I understand that readers just want to be able to sit down and enjoy one story without having to muse over the cliff-hangers at the end. That's what Marvel had in mind when they began their Point One initiative and that's what I have in mind for this very special addition of X-men Supreme.
Like X-men Supreme Issue 0: Revelation X, this issue isn't directly tied into a particular volume. It takes place in between X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope and the upcoming X-men Supreme Volume 4. Professor Charles Xavier and his X-men are still recovering from the events that culminated with the election of Senator Robert Kelly as President of the United States. He understands the X-men have many challenges ahead of them, but he also understands that contrary to what some may believe, his X-men are still human. They need a break from it all every now and then. That's exactly what they hope to do by taking a vacation to Las Vegas, Nevada! But as is often the case, trouble seems to find the X-men no matter where they go. A familiar foe that we last saw in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers has re-emerged and is poised to ruin their vacation and so much more! It's a story of epic battles along the Las Vegas Strip and as such, it gives me great pleasure to launch this very special issue!
X-men Supreme Special Issue 3.1: Sin City Shenanigans
I had a lot of fun writing this issue. I hope this helps bring the X-men Supreme fanfiction series closer in line with the quality and structure that fans have become accustomed to with Marvel comics. While I understand that as a work of fanfiction this can never be on the same level as the comics, I still want to treat X-men Supreme with the same level of care. That is why it is so important that I receive feedback from readers. I know I constantly harp on it, but aside from a few very dedicated reviewers (a big shout-out to Stormbreaker for being among the most consistent) really don't get a lot of feedback on X-men Supreme. I would like that to change as the scale of this fanfiction series continues to grow. So please, in the spirit of X-men and making X-men Supreme the best it can be, take time to send feedback for this issue. You can either contact me directly or post your thoughts in the comments section. I hope everyone enjoys this special one-shot for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! I don't intend for it to be the last! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Viva Las Vegas and Excelsior!

I'm very excited about this latest addition to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! First off, I want to assure everyone that I am already hard at work on X-men Supreme Volume 4. The next era of this fanfiction series is on its way and I'll be making an official announcement very soon. But before we get to that point, I have a very special bonus issue to announce that I think will help bridge the gap between X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope and X-men Supreme Volume 4.
A while back, I did an extra long special issue of X-men Supreme called X-men Supreme Issue 0: Revelation X and overall, I think it was a success. I wrote it because I wanted to tell a story that took place in the past before X-men Supreme Issue 1: Generation X. Part of the inspiration came from the X-men First Class movie. But I never intended to do another spin-off like it. Then a while back, Marvel comics introduced something called the Point One initiative. For a number of their popular books, including the X-men, Marvel made these .1 issues that were meant to be self-contained one-shots to help readers jump into the books. I really enjoyed those books and while it can be argued that some didn't fulfil Marvel's mission as well as others, the idea is a good one. The X-men Supreme fanfiction series has grown a lot over the past three years. It's bigger than I ever thought it would be, but one consequence of size is that it can be hard to follow. So with that in mind, I've decided to adopt Marvel's approach and make the first ever X-men Supreme Point One issue!
So it is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce X-men Supreme 3.1: Sin City Shenanigans! This issue is different from X-men Supreme Issue 0: Revelation X in that it doesn't take place in the past. This issue takes place in the time gap between X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope and X-men Supreme Volume 4. The events of X-men Supreme Issue 71: Election Day are still fresh in everyone's mind, but the dust hasn't quite settled just yet. The X-men know they have some big challenges ahead of them, but before they get to that point Professor Charles Xavier believes his team needs some time to rest. And the best way to do that is a vacation to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada! But their stay in Sin City isn't all glitz, gambling, and shows. Trouble always seems to find them, even when they try to take time off. And once again, they'll be called upon to stop a dangerous threat from a familiar foe. And as usual, I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I have high hopes for this very special one-shot of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Depending on how it turns out, I may write more as the series unfolds and grows. But as always, the success of this one-shot and that of this fanfiction series as a whole rests on whether my readers enjoy it. So as always, I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to review this and future issues. Either post them on the comments section or contact me directly. Either way is fine. Thank you very much and I hope X-men fans and Marvel fans of all stripes enjoy what I have planned for this fanfiction series! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is once again in the eye of a storm. The world of X-men is in between volumes. The dramatic end to X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is becoming an increasingly distant memory while the beginning of X-men Supreme Volume 4 continues to draw closer! I never try to plan too far ahead into this fanfiction series because I want to ensure some degree of flexibility. However, I do try to organize each volume of X-men Supreme ahead of time so that some of the key details are already in place. By the time I finished X-men Supreme Issue 71: Election Day, I already had the first issue of Volume 4 planned out in intimate detail. And as I've been working on X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3, I've refined those details to a point where I'm ready for Volume 4 whenever the time comes! However, my primary focus continues to be on finishing X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3.
As I've said before, this fanfiction series has placed a heavy emphasis on family drama since it began. Historically, X-men comics have utilized much more family dynamics and romantic conflicts compared to other comics and that goes for DC comics, Marvel, and other publishers. Part of the appeal is that these are conflicts people can relate to. That's why I feel the conflict between Alex Summers and his brother, Cyclops, is so compelling. I intended from the very early stages of X-men Supreme to have the relationship between the Summers brother be damaged and volatile. We know Cyclops's side of the story because he had an entry in X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 2. But as is often the case in X-men, there are two sides to every story and now it's time for Havok to have his! As such, I think it's a fitting way to end X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3!
X-men Supreme Reflections: Alex Summers
With the end of X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3, this fanfiction series is just a little more closer to the beginning of X-men Supreme Volume 4. However, I'm afraid to say that readers will have to wait just a little bit longer to see the next saga of X-men Supreme unfold. At the end of X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers, I did an extra long special issue of X-men Supreme called X-men Supreme Issue 0: Revelation X. It was an X-men Supreme story that was detached from the main series in that it took place before the events of X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution. Well I got some pretty positive feedback from that entry so I've decided to do another one! This one won't take place in the past though. It'll take place in a gap of time between X-men Supreme Volume 3 and X-men Supreme Volume 4. Think of it a self-contained adventure that gives readers a solid X-men Supreme story without having to read the whole series! I can't divulge too many details right now, but I'll make a full announcement in a week! So stay tuned to this website and the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I'm very excited about the future of X-men Supreme. There are many more stories I want to tell, but the only way to ensure I do those stories correctly is if I continue to get feedback from the readers that support this fanfiction series. I know that X-men Supreme Reflections don't typically get as much feedback, but I still strongly encourage everyone to take the time to review X-men Supreme Reflections and every other issue of this fanfiction series! Either post it in the comments section or contact me directly. Thanks as always to everyone who has supported X-men Supreme. I hope it continues. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Ever since I started the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, I've tried to give plenty of weight to the more personal issues that the X-men face. Marvel comics has given me plenty to work with in that regard. That's why I often focus on relationships and family dramas. I've already explored the many conflicts between Mystique, Rogue, and Nightcrawler. I've also explored the most famous love triangle in X-men with Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Wolverine. But one personal conflict that I've only recently begun to explore involves Cyclops's younger brother, Alex Summers. He was introduced in the District X arc as a strong, confrontational fighter that was capable of leading other mutants into conflict, much like his brother. But unlike his brother, he was far more brash and hot-headed. This culminated with his departure from District X and his joining Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants.
In the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, Havok is a young, immature character with with many unresolved issues. He despises his brother and the world that rejected him. But like everyone else in X-men Supreme, he has a reason for being the way he is. I've offered a few hints in this fanfiction series as to where he and Cyclops diverged. They walked the same road, but Havok chose a very different path. What could have led him to chose that path? Now that he's part of the Brotherhood of Mutants on the island nation of Genosha, he's poised to have a very significant impact on the future of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. As such, he's a very fitting focus for the final entry of X-men Supreme Reflections: Volume 3! Expect to learn more about this renegade teenager who has thrust himself into the largest conflicts in X-men Supreme. As always, I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
In addition to the preview, I also have another exciting update in the pics section, courtesy of our old friend Brian Brinlee. He has contributed yet another beautiful commission to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. This time he took one of the most sinister scenes in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers and brought it to life both literally and figuratively. The scene came from the pages of Issue 33: Sinister Intent Part 2. It is a scene that marks the X-men's first confrontation with Mr. Sinister. He abducted Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Rogue and had them at his mercy for what would be the first, but certainly not the last confrontation in X-men Supreme! I think Mr. Brinlee did another awesome job and I encourage everyone to check it out!

I know in the previous two volumes of X-men Supreme Reflections I've focused on five characters. Well, I decided to go a different route for X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3. I know there are many characters to explore and there are some I do intend to get to eventually. However, at this point in the story I feel four will be sufficient. And with the events of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope still reverberating, I'm eager to get started on X-men Supreme Volume 4! While I know X-men Supreme Reflections doesn't garner as much feedback, I still strongly encourage everyone to provide feedback in whatever way they can. Either post your comments in the comments section or contact me directly with your feedback. Either way is fine. As always, I deeply appreciate those who have supported the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and continue to do so! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

The world of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is undergoing a huge shift. Robert Kelly has been elected President of the United States and human/mutant relations will never be the same. But who is this man who is now leader of the free world in X-men Supreme? Why has he taken it upon himself to make mutants his primary issue? Throughout history, many politicians have staked their careers on a single issue. Some do so because they genuinely believe it to be an important issue. Some do so just to get votes for the next election. In the world of comics and the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, this is no different. Robert Kelly is a man who believes in what he is doing and whether they like it or not, the X-men will have to deal with him.
Over the course of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, I've introduced many characters. I don't always get to explore some of those characters as much as I want to. Robert Kelly is a character that has been part of X-men Supreme since X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution. But it wasn't until the end of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope that I finally had a chance to explore some aspects of his life. It's not easy squeezing in all the relevant details. And this exactly why I take the time to do spin-off series like X-men Supreme Reflections. It gives me time to go over those details and review aspects of a character that are hard to do in the middle of a story. There's a lot motivating Robert Kelly now and I hope it gets readers excited for his new role in future stories of X-men Supreme!
X-men Supreme Reflections: President Robert Kelly
I say it every time I post an update and I'll keep saying it for as long as I continue this fanfiction series. Please take the time to provide feedback and support X-men Supreme! I work long and hard on creating this detailed world of X-men and I can only ensure it is sufficiently awesome through feedback from my readers. Please contact me with your comments or questions or place your remarks in the comments section for this or any other issue of X-men Supreme. I appreciate all those who take the time to provide feedback. X-men Supreme is more awesome because of it! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Somethings things fall into place beautifully when you're not even trying. Some people think that I plan the X-men Supreme fanfiction series ahead of time to line up perfectly with current events. Well, that is simply not the case. I write X-men Supreme on an issue-to-issue basis and every now and then, the events in this fanfiction series line up perfectly with what is going on in the real world. Once again, the comic book gods have cast favor upon the X-men Supreme fanfiction series as the country celebrates President's Day and the birthday of George Washington. On this same week, I begin work on the next entry of X-men Supreme Reflections and the subject of this issue is none other than the President elect of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, Robert Kelly.
For most of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, he was known as Senator Kelly. He was the anti-mutant war-hawk who favored the policies of Cameron Hodge and ran for President on a platform that favored tougher policies on mutants. X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope told the story of that campaign, which also coincidentally mirrored the real world Presidential election. While one could argue that X-men Supreme had some much more volatile issues, it was certainly an election to remember. In the end, Robert Kelly won the election and now he goes by President Kelly. But while I spent the latter part of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope giving some added depth to Robert Kelly's persona, I haven't really explored his history in the pages of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Well that changes with this latest entry into X-men Supreme Reflections! I know I've already done a bio for him, but this promises to explore what makes this man who he is. I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I also haven't negated the pics section of X-men Supreme. I work hard on the fanfiction, but I know words can only go so far. This time around I've provided updates to the sections for Mystique, Jean Grey, and Emma Frost. Please remember that I'm always willing to accept new submissions. Please contact me if you're interested.
I try not to get overly political with the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, but since the core concept of X-men frequently parallels the struggle for civil rights an minorities it is sometimes unavoidable. Rest assured, I will do everything within my creative power to not make it too convoluted. But the very world of X-men Supreme is as important as the characters themselves. It's a fragile balance, which is why I'm somewhat distressed at the lack of reviews and feedback I've been getting. Have I been getting too political? Am I not doing it right? If so, please tell me! I really do want to know because it is important that I do X-men Supreme right. Only a handful of pepole take the time to post feedback and while I'm deeply grateful to those people, I would like to see more. Please take the time to contact me with your feedback when you get a chance either by contacting me directly or posting your comments on each issue. I'm always willing to chat! Again, thank you very much to all those who support me. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Hope everybody had a happy Valentines Day! It's time for another bit of introspection in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. As X-men Supreme has grown, I've developed a greater appreciation for the challenges Marvel faces in keeping their series fresh. The comics have kept it going for decades. The X-men Supreme fanfiction series has only been around for about three years. In other words, it has a long ways to go! But I love rising to the challenge. Marvel often tries to explore new sides to certain characters as the times change. I feel X-men Supreme Reflections helps with that.
That brings me back to Nightcrawler. As I've said before, he's a character who has undergone some of the most dramatic changes in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. His whole life story is very different, even though his personality may be the same. He was not raised by adopted parents in X-men Supreme. There's no mystery either about where he came from and who his parents are. Both Mystique and Azazel have played a significant part of his life. So has his adopted sister, Rogue. When I introduced him in Issue 22: Family and Fiends Part 1 I knew I would be taking a chance on a fan favorite character. Overall, I think it has paid off. And now that Nightcrawler is dead in the comics, that gives me all the more incentive to make sure he's as awesome as he deserves to be in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! As such, I hope his ailing fans appreciate his entry into the X-men Supreme Reflections series.
X-men Supreme Reflections: Kurt Wagner
I really enjoy exploring the personal sides of the X-men. There's just so much to tell and I feel as though fans really respond to getting to know the thoughts and feelings of their favorite characters. I know it may not be as exciting as some of the other major events in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, but I think it's vital to the overall story. But I'm always open to new ways of thinking. That's why it's very important that readers take the time to provide feedback for each new entry of X-men Supreme. If you're one of the ailing Nightcrawler fans, I really want to know how you feel about his portrayal in this fanfiction series. Please contact me or post your thoughts here. I'm always open to constructive criticism. I want to make X-men Supreme as awesome as it deserves to be and I can't do that without feedback! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

I've made a number of significant changes to certain characters in the pages of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Part of what I really love about the X-men Supreme Reflections series is that I get to really explore those differences. Part f making the X-men Supreme fanfiction series appealing is making it distinct from the material that Marvel comics produces with their comics, cartoons, and movies. As I've said from the outright, I try to blend certain elements from every medium in crafting X-men Supreme. But I also seek to give it my own unique twist.
Few characters have been made more unique in terms of background story as Kurt Wagner. Not only is he one of the most distinct and beloved X-man due to his appearance, but his history also quite unique. In the comics, it is somewhat convoluted. Some revelations, like his biological father Azazel, weren't revealed until the 2000s. Some of those revelations haven't been very popular with X-men fans. Despite this, I still make an effort to incorporate them into this fanfiction series and that has helped me create a very unique Nightcrawler.
In the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, he was not abandoned by his birth parents. His connection to the shape shifting Mystique was not hidden from him. As I've revealed in the series and in his bio, he was raised primiarly by his father, Azazel, and Mystique has always been part of his life. It has led him to develop a unique set of skills and traits in the pages of X-men Supreme, but along the way I make sure that he's still the lovable X-man that so many enjoy. Given that he's currently dead in the pages of Marvel comics, I feel it's important to depict him strongly. As such, he will be the next subject of X-men Supreme Reflections and I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
In addition to the preview, I have yet another exciting update to the X-men Supreme website that involves a new commission for the pics section. Brian Brinlee has once again made another wonderful contribution to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, taking a scene right out of Issue 32: Sinister Intent. It is an important scene in that it was the first time in X-men Supreme that Sinister attacked the X-men. I think this is one of Mr. Brinlee's best to date and you can see for yourself in the pics section!

I know that the Supreme Reflections spin-offs rarely garner as many comments or as much feedback as the regular X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I'm still hoping to change that. Since Nightcrawler is dead in the current comics, I really hope that this upcoming entry will please his many fans. And if anyone out there has suggestions, feedback, or just wants to chat X-men, please don't hesistate to contact me! I'm always open to discuss ways to make X-men Supreme more awesome. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

The countdown until X-men Supreme Volume 4 has begun! And as I've done before with this fanfiction series, I'll bridge the gap with another installment of Supreme Reflections. While I haven't gotten the kind of feedback I get with the main fanfiction series with these, I feel they're important in the larger context of X-men Supreme. X-men is such a character-driven series. Marvel has always focused heavily on individual characters and what motivates them to do what they do. Whether it's the Dark Angel Saga in Uncanny X-Force or the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga, the characters are the most important component of every story.
To date, I've covered most of the major characters in X-men Supreme that have been introduced in the early parts of this fanfiction series. With X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3, I'll be covering some of the characters that I've introduced in later volumes. Some characters have already had their share of stories and they already have a section in the bios page. But they haven't had a chance to truly reflect on how far they've come in X-men Supreme. One of those characters is Gambit. He first appeared in the Cajun Chaos arc in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers. He's undergone his share of changes and he'll be undergoing plenty more in X-men Supreme Volume 4. I know he's a popular character, especially with the ladies for obvious reasons. But he's also been inconsistent in the comics in the sense that he's been either a lovable thief or a completely unlovable scoundral. I've noticed that fans either love him or hate him. In X-men Supreme, I've tried to make him appeal to everyone. And I hope that with X-men Supreme Reflection, his appeal will grow.
Supreme Reflections: Remy Lebeau
I've also continued to update other portions of the X-men Supreme website that I've been meaning to work on for quite some time. As I recently did with Emma Frost, I created a new entry in the bios page for President Elect of the X-men Supreme fanfiction universe, Robert Kelly. His role in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series has been significant going all the way back to X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution. Now that he's President, his role will continue to grow. As such, I've created an entry that provides some background information on him. He's an important character to the future of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series so you'll definitely want to keep an eye on him.
Robert Kelly Bio
As I said before, X-men Supreme Reflections don't usually get a lot of feedback compared to the regular fanfiction series. I would like to change that. I know not everyone who reads X-men Supreme or X-men in general are Gambit fans, but I would really like to hear what people have to say about this first entry. Gambit is such a controversial character in that he generates a lot of reactions from fans. And I would like to address some of those reactions. Please post your feedback in the comments section or contact me directly. Thank you and I hope everybody enjoys this new installment of X-men Supreme Reflections! Take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is officially history. This fanfiction series is now poised to enter a new era. I have no intention of slowing down the story. X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope brought about a lot of major changes to this fanfiction series. Jean Grey is now host to the Phoenix Force. Angel has left the X-men. And something may or may not be very wrong with Professor Charles Xavier. On top of it all, Senator Robert Kelly became President of the United States. His long-standing opposition to mutants and the X-men now promises to influence the world of X-men Supreme like never before. Make no mistake. I have big plans for this fanfiction series! But before those plans can manifest for the future, it's important to strengthen the foundation I laid in the past.
As such, I will be carrying on the tradition I established after the first two volumes of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and do another Supreme Reflections spin-off. I've already had X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 1 and X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 2. Both entries focused on a number of characters and dug deeper into what made them tick. The characters and their personalities are a big part of why X-men has such vast appeal both for Marvel comics and for comics as a whole. For X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope, I'll be focusing on four more characters. Each will have a chance to paint a clearer picture of who they are.
And the first such reflection will be Gambit. He's a fan favorite who has often had a conflicted history in the pages of Marvel comics. However, his history in X-men Supreme is substantially different. I wanted him to have a bit more balance and I'll be exploring that in the first entry of X-men Supreme Reflections Volume 3. As such, I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
In addition to starting Supreme Reflections, I'm continuing with other updates to the X-men Supreme website. This includes the bios section. I'm often hesitant to post bios updates too soon because it could mean spoiling certain secrets for these characters. One character, however, has always generated a lot of interest and that's Emma Frost. She made her big debut in X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. She played a major role in the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. And she'll continue to play a huge role in this fanfiction series moving forward. She still has her secrets, but I've managed to craft a bio for her that should help explain who Emma Frost is in the world of X-men Supreme.
Emma Frost Bio
I'm very excited about the future of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. There's a lot I want to do with X-men Supreme and I'm still formulating some plans. So stay tuned to this website for more updates on the future of this fanfiction series. That said, it's still very important that readers provide feedback. As this fanfiction series grows, I want to see more feedback from readers. So please take the time to post comments in each issue of X-men Supreme or contact me directly. Either is fine! The world of X-men Supreme is moving forward! I hope everyone is ready to move with it! Take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Ashes to ashes, from birth to death, another era in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is coming to an end while another is poised for rebirth! I know that's overly dramatic, but I can't help it! X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope has finally reached its end. It's been the longest installment of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series to date. It has covered some amazing stories that include aliens, assassination plots, and cosmic forces. Numerous characters have undergone a great deal of growth. Jean Grey became the host of the Phoenix Force. Angel reconnected with his father and family company. Wolverine uncovered more dark secrets about his past. And Professor Charles Xavier found a new ally (and then some) in Lilandra Neramani. There were so many stories to tell, but the tangled web of the X-men Supreme fanfiction universe must begin anew at some point. And that process starts by ending X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope.
Since the beginning of Volume 3: Ashes of Hope, the world of X-men Supreme has been embroiled in a heated presidential election where Senator Robert Kelly, who has a long history of opposing mutants, is vying for the office of President of the United States. Professor Xavier and the X-men have opposed him at times and saved him at others. Now the election is upon them and the stage is set for a bold new era in the world of X-men Supreme. But the previous arc, Kings and Tyrants, complicated the ensuing conflict when Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants abducted Senator Kelly and his family in an attempt to turn them into mutants. The X-men stopped this plan, but only partially. Senator Kelly's son ended up becoming a mutant. How will this impact the anti-mutant agenda he's been championing since X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution? That's the big story that will continue to evolve in X-men Supreme. And that story begins with the end of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope!
Issue 71: Election Day
Of all the work I've done on the X-men Supreme fanfiction series thus far, some of the most enjoyable moments came while writing Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. The biggest highlight for me was being able to write the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. I can't begin to describe how fulfilling it was, retelling the most famous story in the history of X-men if not the whole Marvel universe. It was a big moment for this fanfiction series that has grown bigger than I ever could have imagined. And it will keep growing! Moving forward, the X-men Supreme fanfiction series will continue to undergo great changes. And I look forward to exploring those changes.
And to add a little extra bonus to this monumental milestone for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, I also have a fresh commission from my old friend, Brian Brinlee. Once again, he's been generous enough to use his talents to bring another scene from X-men Supreme to life. This time he takes a moment from Issue 31: Memory Musings. It was a landmark issue that featured flashbacks, drama, and dinsaurs. Where else besides X-men could you get something like that? As always, I sincerely thank Mr. Brinlee for his contrubtions. For this and other commissions, please check out the panels section in the pics area.
X-men Supreme Official Panels
This era of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is now over, but the saga and this site will continue. Now that X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is complete, I can do a few updates I've been meaning to do, such as the bios. I also have a few new specials planned before the next volume of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series can begin. I can't go into too many details right now, but stay tuned for updates! I'll be revealing them as they take shape. And as always, I urge everyone here to continue providing feedback to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I can't tell you how important it is. There have been 71 issues and three volumes worth of story. I want to keep making it more awesome, so please post your comments in each issue or contact me directly so I know I'm doing something right or wrong! As always, I sincerely thank all those who have supported me in this bold endeavor. I hope that support continues as the X-men Supreme fanfiction series moves forward. Until next time, this is another era of X-men Supreme ending so take care and best wishes until the next era begins! Excelsior!

X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is nearly complete! The latest battle between the X-men and the Brotherhood of Mutants has played out in the Kings and Tyrants arc. Now the big election has finally arrived in the world of X-men Supreme and it promises to change the world for the X-men and the human/mutant conflict forever. It was only a few months ago that America had a real election with world-ranging implications. There have been times when Marvel comics has taken real developments in politics and social movements and worked them into their stories. I hope to do the same with the X-men Supreme fanfiction series moving forward.
But the final issue of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is more than just the end to this latest installment in this fanfiction series. It's an important building block for the future of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I have every intention of continuing this series in another volume. But expect that volume to be very different from the previous three. So far, the X-men have faced major threats such as Cameron Hodge, the Brotherhood of Mutants, the Friends of Humanity, the Shi'ar, Weapon X, the Inner Circle, Shadowking, and the Phoenix Force. A number of those threats will continue to emerge in future stories, but expect threats of a very different kind in the near future. It's going to create a whole new set of conflicts for the X-men and it begins with the next and final issue of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope! I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I'm very excited about the future of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. There are still so many stories that I want to tell and a lot of them will stem from what happens in X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. X-men Supreme has come a long ways and there is still so much more to come. With all these shifts, it's more important than ever that people take the time to provide feedback. Please post your comments in each issue if you can. If I'm doing something you think is wrong, please tell me so I can correct it! If you want to contact me, feel free to do so at any time! Until the final issue is ready, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

I hope everybody had a Happy New Year and I hope 2013 is ready for another year of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! In addition to this being the beginning of a new year, it is also the third anniversary of X-men Supreme. I launched this fanfiction series right after New Years in the year 2010. It's hard to believe that it has been that long. X-men Supreme has come such a long way. Relationships have come and gone. New threats have emerged. New characters have shown up. And just recently, I completed the biggest story in X-men Supreme to date with the Phoenix Saga. It really has been an amazing ride for this fanfiction series, but I have big plans for 2013! I hope to make this another successful year for the world of X-men Supreme.
To start off the new year, I bring the penultimate issue of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. So far, Volume 3 has been longer than both X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution and X-men Supreme Volume 3: War Powers. There was just so much story to tell with this volume that it had to be longer. But it is finally near its end. There are only two issues left and this latest issue deals with a new threat from the adversary that has been plaguing the X-men since the very first issue, Magneto. He has abducted Senator Kelly and his family on the eve of the Presidential election. It is now up to the X-men to stop him! Can they do so in time? You'll find out in this very important issue that will have far-reaching implications for the next volume!
Issue 70: Kings and Tyrants Part 2
In addition to this latest issue, I have done another quick update to the pics section. Recently, I added a new section for Emma Frost and the Black Queen. As two of Marvel's most seductive and devious women, no pics section would be complete without them. I've managed to add in a few more images into each section. Rest assure, there are still plenty more to come!

With a new year and a new wealth of stories to tell, I'm very excited about the future of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I have big plans for the X-men and I look forward to sharing them throughout the year. There will be specials. There will be new characters. There will be more events. All will be revealed in due time. As always, I deeply encourage everyone to take the time to provide feedback for this fanfiction series. Either post your comments in each issue or contact me directly and I'll be happy to chat. Thanks as always to those who have supported X-men Supreme and I hope it continues for another year! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

I hope everybody had a very Merry Christmas! I certainly did. But in addition to the usual holiday cheer, I've continued work on the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is nearing its end. It's already exceeded the length of X-men Supreme Volume 1: Mutant Revolution and X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers. It's had to in some ways because I've had so many different plots going on, including the landmark Phoenix Saga. But there still remains one major issue from X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope that needs to be resolved. That issue, of course, is the Presidential Election. It's the eve of election night in the latest arc, Kings and Tyrants. And after biding his time, Magneto has finally reared his head again. Once again, Senator Robert Kelly is the target. What is his plan and how is it going to effect the election? That all gets resolved in the final issue of the Kings and Tyrants arc! As always, I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
In addition to my usual preview of the next issue of X-men Supreme, I have another announcement to make. About a week ago, I took another step towards my dream of becoming a published writer. For the past few months, I've been working on a book that I intended to self-publish. Well that book is complete and is officailly available online for purchase! I've posted a link for it in the links section and through a banner located on this very page. I'm very excited about this and I want this book to be a success. So if you really want to support X-men Supreme in a way aside from providing feedback, please purchase my book either as a paperback or through the Amazon Kindle.
Skin Deep - By Jack Fisher
This is to be the final update of 2012 and I think most will agree it has been a very eventful year for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and for X-men fans in general. Marvel has really shaken up the world of X-men with events like Avengers vs. X-men and new series like All New X-men. For X-men Supreme, it has also been pretty eventful. I've had the X-men undergo some major changes, the biggest of which happened in the Phoenix Saga. I've already laid the groundwork for a very eventful year in 2013. The world of X-men Supreme will continue to change. New characters will be introduced. New threats will emerge. New relationships will be forged while old relationships change. Some will grow stronger. Some will be deeply strained. I'm very excited about the future of this fanfiction series and I hope to continue telling stories in this remarkable fanfiction series.
As always, I continue to seek feedback and reviews from all my readers. There haven't been a lot of comments on the new issues lately. I really hope that changes for 2013. Please remember, I'm always open to chat X-men so please contact me if you wish or post your comments in each issue. It has been an amazing year for X-men Supreme and I want it to continue improving in 2013. So for everyone who has followed along for the past year, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Until next year, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

The holidays are upon us and the X-men Supreme fanfiction series has many gifts to offer! The Phoenix Saga is complete. X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is winding down. Overall, there's plenty of reasons to celebrate the holidays this year! The end of the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga was a significant shift for the X-men. The effects of that story will begin to show in this final arc, Kings and Tyrants, but the greater implications will only manifest later on as this fanfiction series unfolds.
In developing X-men Supreme, I've attempted to do more than just tell stories about the X-men. I wanted to create a unique Marvel-style universe for them in which to develop. I've done a number of things to set that world apart from the regular Marvel universe. And I'm not just talking about different background stories for the characters either. The more worldly issues in X-men Supreme have manifested in other more pragmatic ways, namely with Senator Robert Kelly's bid for President of the United States. A good deal of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope have followed his campaign. Now as this volume is poised to end, the culmination of this campaign is upon us! And like the Phoenix Saga, it will have far-reaching implications for the world of X-men Supreme.
Issue 69: Kings and Tyrants Part 1
And since it's the holidays and all, I want to throw in another extra gift for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and the wonderful readers who support it. In addition to being the biggest event to date for this fanfiction series, the Phoenix Saga introduced a few key characters to the world of X-men Supreme. Among those characters were Emma Frost and the Black Queen. These two women are among the X-men's most devious yet sexy women. As such, I've added them to the X-men Supreme pics section, specifically the sexy X-ladies area. It's not much, but it's a start and I promise these sections will grow along with the rest of the X-women!

As the holidays approach, the best gift I can hope for at this point is more generous feedback and support from my readers. A handful of readers have been very generous with their support. They know who they are and I can't thank them enough. But the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is poised to undergo some much greater shifts moving forward and feedback is all the more vital! Please take the time to post your comments in the comments section of each issue or contact me at any time. I'm always willing to chat X-men and Marvel! So from me to you, have a very happy holidays! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

The X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga is over and this fanfiction series will never be the same. Jean Grey, Cyclops, and the X-men as a whole will never be the same. But the world around them will continue to carry on. In the midst of the Phoenix Saga, the ongoing drama with the Presidential Election is still unresolved. Whereas the real election has passed, an election that's every bit as important to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is almost here. The X-men won't have much time to recover from the impact left by the Phoenix Force. A new conflict is already brewing in a new arc that will set the stage for the epic conclusion of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. As always, I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I'm very proud of how the Phoenix Saga turned out. Some have already commented on how the ending was much different than the X-men comics or even the cartoons. I've also had a few comments from those who are a bit confused about what I've done with the Phoenix Force in X-men Supreme. I'll say right now that the Phoenix Force operates much differently in X-men Supreme than it does in other mediums. It's very different from what some Marvel comic fans recently read in Marvel's recent Avengers vs. X-men story. But the nature of the Phoenix Force in X-men Supreme hasn't been completely fleshed out yet. I left a few questions unanswered for a reason. So rest assured, this is NOT the last Phoenix story you'll see in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Both the Phoenix Force and Jean Grey will undergo some major developments in future stories, but details on those developments will have to wait.
For now, my focus is on wrapping up X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. The X-men have come a long way since this fanfiction series began. And the next step promises to take them in a bold new direction. As always, I strongly encourage everybody to provide feedback on each issue or contact me if you have any questions or comments. I'm always happy to listen and respond! I have so much I want to do in the post-Phoenix Saga world of X-men Supreme. I hope many others will come along for the ride. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

It's finally here! The biggest moment in the history of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series has arrived! I know I've labeled many moments in X-men Supreme as big events, but this one is by far the biggest for one reason: the Phoenix Saga. In the history of X-men and Marvel comics, few stories have carried with them so much impact and so much emotion. Chris Claremont created something truly special all those years ago and it has been imagine and retold in many forms with the X-men in movies, cartoons, and comics. As such, I wanted to retell it in a way that was special and memorable for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. There are so many ways I could have gone and there are so many angles to cover for the X-men, Jean Grey, and the Phoenix Force. But I didn't want this saga to drag on for too long. On this day, the Phoenix Saga ends. But the impact is just beginning!
Issue 68: The Phoenix Saga Part 6
This fanfiction series has undergone many changes throughout its history. Characters have changed. Circumstances have changed. The whole X-men line-up has changed. But I can say without reservation that the Phoenix Saga will fundementally change the nature of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. And I'm not just talking about Cyclops and Jean Grey either. The Phoenix Force will bring in an entirely new element to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. That element will be explored in many stories to come. But those stories can't be told until X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope is completed. After the Phoenix Saga, there aren't many issues left. But with the end of this monumental event in the annuls of X-men Supreme, a whole new world of stories is set to emerge!
And in the spirit of the completion of the Phoenix Saga, I posted a new commission that I've been sitting on for well over a year because I knew it would be a huge part of the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. It depicts the final dramatic moment between Cyclops and Jean Grey at the end of Issue 68. It was a very special moment and the man who actually crafted the front page image on the X-men Supreme official website was the one behind this image. For that, I think Fabio of ComicConArt and as such, I've also posted the image in the X-men Supreme Official Panels section.
I've had an amazing time writing X-men Supreme, but I take a special bit of satisfaction in writing the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. After this final issue of the saga, I feel like I've covered all the necessary elements to make an X-men Phoenix Saga awesome. But I know at the end of the day it doesn't matter what I think as much as it matters how my readers think. So please take the time to post a review of the Phoenix Saga or of any previous issues. Or if you want you can contact me directly. I'm always open to feedback and I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone may have. So it's done. The X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga has ended and from the ashes a bold new world of X-men Supreme shall emerge! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

The end of the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga is near! It's already the longest arc of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series to date and there's still one issue left! I've been working very hard to make this final issue to this amazing saga the best it can possibly be. Part of what made the original Phoenix Saga so iconic under the pen of Chris Claremont was the sheer emotion of the ending. It was an ending that would have far reaching implications for the X-men and for Marvel comics as a whole for decades to come. As we saw with the recent events of Avengers vs. X-men, those events still have a major impact on the comics today. I intend to have the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga leave an equally profound impact on this fanfiction series for many issues to come. The Phoenix Force affects more than Jean Grey or Cyclops or anyone in the X-men. It effects the entire world they live in and you'll see why in the final issue! As such, I've prepared a brief preview here on this website and an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
The Phoenix Saga marks a very important moment for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. So much of what I've been trying to do with the X-men has been building towards this moment. After a great many stories and character development, it's finally coming together! The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is about to undergo a profound shift and for that reason it's very important that people take the time to provide feedback. I'm hoping that the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga will establish this fanfiction series as something that's on the same scale as anything readers will find in Marvel comics, but I can't be sure of that unless people take the time to provide feedback. Please post it in each issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series or contact me with your questions or comments. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

I hope everyone had a very happy and filling Thanskgiving holiday! But the X-men Supreme fanfiction series can afford to take no such holidays. The X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga is entering a critical stage and there's little time to rest or recover. The situation coming into the Phoenix Saga was bad enough, but in the previous two issues the situation has gone from bad to worse. The Inner Circle succeeded in capturing the X-men, exploiting Emma Frost no less, and guiding the Phoenix Force into Jean Grey. While it's one thing to channel the Phoenix Force, it's quite another to control it. The Inner Circle in their never-ending quest for power thought they could control this cosmic force through the mystical talents ot the Black Queen, Selene Gallio. Well that assumption proved fatal for some. Now the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga enters a dangerous new phase.
This is by far one of the most critical parts of this fanfiction series to date. The Phoenix Saga isn't just my way of bringing this classic Marvel tale to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. This is an arc that will set the tone for many future stories in X-men Supreme. The final issues of this arc will mark a huge turning point in this fanfiction series and one that will take the X-men to the next stage of X-men Supreme. As such, I hope everyone continues to enjoy this landmark story. I assure you this is one iteration of the Phoenix Saga you don't want to miss!
Issue 67: The Phoenix Saga Part 5
While I've been hard at work making sure the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga is as awesome as it can possibly be, I haven't forgotten about other areas of the X-men Supreme website. It's been a while since I've updated the pics section. I plan on doing some expansions to the section after X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope has concluded. But for now, I'm content to keep up with the current sections. As such, I've updated the sections for Storm, Rogue, Jean Grey, Shadowcat, Mystique, Scarlet Witch, Goblin Queen, and the X-women.
I've also received a fresh commission from X-men Supreme's top artist, Brian Brinlee. He was once again generous enough to provide a commission for Issue 30: The Unstoppable Juggernaut. You can see this new commission along with many others in the X-men Supreme Panels section. Please keep in mind that if anyone wants to submit a pic of their own, please contact me and I'll be happy to discuss the details.
As the X-men Supreme fanfiction series nears the climax of this arc, I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to provide feedback. I know I say that a lot, but the Phoenix Saga is going to set the tone for this fanfiction series for many issues to come. As such, it's important I get sufficient feedback so that I can ensure that it's as awesome as it needs to be. With this in mind, please take the time to follow the examples set by generous users like Stormbreaker who leave comments in the comments section for nearly ever issue. Or if you wish, contact me directly and I'll be happy to respond. I'm very excited about the future of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I hope others continue to enjoy it. Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

The X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga has officially escalated to cosmic proportions. The Inner Circle successfully captured the X-men and as we saw at the end of Issue 66: The Phoenix Saga Part 4, they also succeeded in bringing the Phoenix Force to Jean Grey. Now her being has been merged with that of a cosmic entity and whatever the Inner Circle's plans were to control it have failed. It is a critical theme in the history of the Phoenix Saga and it is a theme I have carried over into this fanfiction series. Take a normal human being in an emotionally fragile state like Jean Grey and imbue her with immense power and that power eventually corrupts. It is the same kind of corruption that caused the X-men and the world of X-men Supreme so much damage in the Proteus arc. That story ended in tragedy. Will Jean Grey share the same fate? There are only a few issues left in this very important arc for the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. As usual, I've prepared an extended preview on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
I'm very excited about the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. In the comics, the Phoenix Saga was a major turning point. So much of what Chris Claremont did with that story set the stage for years worth of X-men stories and Marvel comics stories in general. I hope to do the same with the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. When this arc is over, the world of X-men Supreme will be very different. A new world of stories will open up and I hope to explore them in great detail with future volumes.
So far, the feedback for the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga has been very good. X-men Fan and Stormbreaker were nice enough to provide feedback for the previous issue, but overall feedback was down in the last issue. I hope that changes as I approach the epic conclusion of the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. Once again, I implore all those who read each issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series to take the time to leave a review. Either plost your feedback in the comments section of each issue or contact me directly. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

In the pages of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, the X-men have worked tirelessly to help Jean Grey avoid a looming fate that has been fast approaching since the events of the Proteus arc and possibly even sooner. But over the course of the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga, they lost that fight. They trusted a former X-man and Cyclops's former lover, Emma Frost, to help Jean. She ended up betraying them, albeit unwillingly, by delivering them into the clutches of the Inner Circle through one of their associates, Mastermind. Now there is little stopping the approaching Phoenix Force from taking its host. In the greater X-men mythos that Marvel has been telling for nearly half a century, this is one of the most pivotal moments in the history of X-men. Now that moment is fast approaching in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and I couldn't be more excited to tell this story!
An undertaking like the Phoenix Saga has proven both difficult and thrilling. I know my readers and fellow X-men fans will only render a verdict once it has been completed. For this reason, I don't want to rush my Phoenix Saga. It's taken a long time to build up and it's finally getting to a point where the Phoenix Force is set to arrive. This is a moment that has been greatly scrutinized in the history of the X-men mythos because it is also a moment that has been retconned and reinterpreted in so many ways. One of my goals in writing the Phoenix Saga for X-men Supreme is to make it more coherent and clear. I don't want this fanfiction series to become as convoluted as the comics. That's why this new issue is such an important issue. For all the wonderful readers out there who have been following this fanfiction series (Stormbreaker being among the most generous), this issue is one that will have a supreme importance in the annuls of X-men Supreme.
Issue 66: The Phoenix Saga Part 4
The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is entering a very profound stage of development. What happens over the next few issues will set the tone for X-men Supreme for a long time to come! As such, it's more important than ever that generous readers take the time to provide feedback. You can follow the example of readers like Stormbreaker and leave comments in the comments section of each issue or you can contact me directly and I'll be happy to respond. The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is in the midst of its biggest arc to date. As such, I'm more determined than ever to make it as awesome as it can be. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

Halloween is over, but the horror is just getting warmed up in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! The X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga continues to unfold, bringing to this fanfiction series a cosmic level threat the likes of which the X-men have never seen before. In the latest issue, the X-men were betrayed by one of their former teammates, Emma Frost. Now much of the team along with the ailing Jean Grey, who has been having ominous visions for a great deal of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope, have been abducted by the Inner Circle. Led by the likes of Sebastian Shaw and Selene, this mysterious group has already caused problems for the X-men. It was Sebastian Shaw who orchastrated the ill-fated incident in the Partners In Madness arc. Now their agenda and the devious extent to which they'll go to attain it will be revealed! The X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga is entering a volatile new stage and Phoenix fans and X-men fans of all stripes should enjoy the big moments to come! As such, I've prepared an extended preivew on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
The original Phoenix Saga, written by Chris Claremont, is a very special story in the history of X-men. I understand that for X-men fans of every generation, it is an integral part of the X-men. So far, I've received positive feedback for what I've been doing thus far. The volume of feedback still isn't that great, but I have been getting more attention now that I'm taking on the Phoenix Saga in this fanfiction series. The biggest moments for my Phoenix Saga are yet to come and I eagerly await the reactions to those moments. As such, I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to review my X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga and my fanfiction series in general. I can always be reached through my contact page here on this site and if you leave feedback on each issue, I will be happy to address it. I hope X-men fans of all kinds enjoy my Phoenix Saga and the X-men Supreme fanfiction series in general. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

At a time when many are celebrating all things scary with Halloween, the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is facing a great horror in the Phoenix Force. The cosmic power that has been known to destroy planets and entire star systems is inching closer to the world of X-men Supreme. Now, it's poised to take another step as the official X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga unfolds in a new issue! You've seen flashbacks into the life of Jean Grey which hinted at a connection with an unseen force going back to the darkest days of her life. You've seen her manifest symptoms during arcs such as Overlord and Proteus. It has left the X-men desperate for answers and in the previous issue, they may have finally found one courtesy of former X-man, Emma Frost.
The introduction of Emma Frost brought with it plenty of trouble. I always intended to introduce her into the X-men Supreme fanfiction series and that includes the drama she often brings. I've alreayd received a few questions about her life in X-men Supreme and the nature of her history with the X-men. I assure you all there is a story to be told here. Emma Frost does have an integral part in the history of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. Unfortunately, I cannot divulge too many details without spoiling key stories. So her bio will likely not take place until after X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope concludes. In the meantime, Emma Frost has introduced the X-men to Jason Wyngarde, who they are told can help Jean Grey. But can he really? Check out the latest issue of X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga to find out!
Issue 65: The Phoenix Saga Part 3
I was hoping that someone would take me up on my request to do another variation of my Jean Grey Phoenix commission from Brian Brinlee. Ideally, I want a variant for every issue of the Phoenix Saga, however long it ends up being. Unfortunately, nobody has responded. So I have no new variations to include with this issue. I sincerely hope that more are willing to contribute. I think the variants really help add something special to this very special event in the lore of the X-men mythos. As such, I implore all my readers who are Photoshop inclined to provide another variant. I also implore everyone who reads this latest issue to take the time to leave a review. Feedback is extremely important, especially during such a major undertaking like the Phoenix Saga. Please contact me or post the reviews directly with each issue. Every bit of feedback counts and I'm always happy to chat! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

The X-men Supreme fanfiction series is taking on a huge event in the Phoenix Saga and so far there have been only ominous warnings of the cosmic threat to come. Well the warnings are just about up! The Phoenix Force is closing fast and Jean Grey is at ground zero! So far, I've gotten a pretty positive response from the loyal Jean Grey fans of X-men. I hope it continues because as Marvel has shown over the years, Jean Grey is central to the mythos of the Phoenix Saga. But that mythos will have a few twists in the context of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I've already shown a few of those twists and I intend to show plenty more!
Anyone who knows X-men or the story of the Phoenix Saga understands that the story itself has become quite convoluted over the years. As Marvel has told, retold, and retconned the events of the Phoenix Saga, the story surrounding the Phoenix has become difficult to follow. This has not been lost on me. I understand that stories as big as the Phoenix Saga are difficult to keep under control while keeping it compelling. I have a plan for the Phoenix Saga and I want it to be easier for fans to follow. I've already set up some elements. Sebastian Shaw and the Inner Circle have made their presence known. So has Emma Frost. All have strong ties to the original Phoenix Force, but the nature of those ties will be different as I'll reveal in the next two issues. The next issue is well underway and as such, I've prepared an extended preivew on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
In addition, the variation on Brian Brinlee's commission for Jean Grey in her Phoenix costume went over very well. I know X-men uniforms are a popular subject and that applies to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series as well. So if anyone out there is Photoshop inclined, feel free to take the Jean Grey commission or any commission for that matter and give it a tweak. Contact me and I'll be happy to post it! Ideally, I would love to get a variation for each issue of the Phoenix Saga. But I understand that may be asking a bit much. I also would like to get more feedback on each issue. I don't think that's asking too much. So if you haven't already, please take the time to post your feedback in each issue of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series or contact me directly. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

The Phoenix Saga is underway and the cosmic fires are heating up in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! The event that forever changed the face of the X-men comics promises to do the same for this fanfiction series. The first issue showed just how bad Jean Grey's condition had become. It's a condition that began way back in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers. However, the previous issue also revealed that these issues that have troubled Jean run much deeper. She's not in a position to overcome them on her own. It is up to the X-men to help her before it's too late.
But while the X-men are struggling to comprehend what is happening to Jean Grey, other forces are hard at work plotting against the X-men. This includes the likes of Sebastian Shaw, who showed up in a big way in the Partners in Madness arc. Then in Issue 63: The Phoenix Saga Part 1, he brought in Emma Frost to aid his agenda. I know Emma Frost has some very passionate fans so expect her to play a major role in this event! But first, she'll play a major role in the latest issue of the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. Enjoy!
Issue 64: The Phoenix Saga Part 2
To make the addition of this latest issue even more awesome, I have another bonus to include! With the previous issue, I included a spectacular commission courtesy of Brian Brinlee. He was generous and talented enough to provide an image of Jean Grey in her Phoenix Form for X-men Supreme. Well in the spirit of adopting Marvel's love of variants, I've posted a variant of his commission along with the new issue. It comes courtesy of a friend named Constance, who I know from comic book message boards. Constance happens to be good with Photoshop and did some tweaking to the commission. You can find it both within the issue and in the X-men Supreme Official Panels section.
And if anyone else is looking to have their work posted on the X-men Supreme website, please know that I'm always willing to accommodate! The more I can add to this fanfiction series, the better the experience. So if you want to do another variant to the Jean Grey Phoenix cover, feel free to do it and contact me if you want me to post it! As always, I deeply appreciate feedback and input for this and all aspects of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I already got three generous reviews for the first issue of my Phoenix Saga. The event promises to escalate so please keep the reviews coming! I'm always willing to chat with readers so please contact me or post a review in the review section. Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

It's finally here and it's off to a great start! And by it I mean the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga. The biggest event in this fanfiction series to date is underway and already I've received some wonderful feedback. It isn't much, but it really means a lot that some understand that this is a huge moment for this fanfiction series. I have to give a brief shout-out to Stormbreaker and Wolverine189, who were generous enough to leave comments. I hope others follow suit because the X-men Supreme fanfiction series is going to be forever changed by the Phoenix Saga. And Jean Grey will be at the forefront of those changes.
But as big a part of the story as Jean Grey may be, the Phoenix Saga is still a story about X-men. Issue 63: The Phoenix Saga Part 1 also dealt with some of the other ongoing dramas with this fanfiction series. One of those dramas involved a familiar name that Marvel fans should know well, Emma Frost. Like the Phoenix itself, I always intended for Emma Frost to play a part in X-men Supreme. I also intended for her to play a role in the Phoenix Saga, just as she did in Chris Claremont's original story. She finally showed up in the previous issue, but her story will take center stage in the next issue. LIke Jean Grey, I know Emma Frost has some very passionate fans. I hope those fans are happy with how she is utilized in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I can't get into too many details at the moment, but I can offer my usual preview. You can view it here or an extended preivew on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
The Phoenix Saga has always been a big part of the X-men mythos and with one issue down, I understand I have a big story ahead of me. I alsoI know that Jean Grey has some incredibly passionate fans out there. Some have already voiced their opinions on this series and the commission by Brian Brinlee that I posted with Issue 63: The Phoenix Saga Part 1. Some have even offered to Photoshop that image with variations of their own. As such, I'm opening the door to those of you who are Photoshop inclined to make your own twists on the officail image of Jean Grey in her Phoenix costume for X-men Supreme. Or come up with your own costume if you wish! I'll be happy to post it. If you wish to discuss this or just have some general comments, feel free to contact me at any time! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

September 28th, 2012
It's coming! I've been saying that for weeks as the X-men Supreme fanfiction series has neared its biggest event to date. It began back in X-men Supreme Volume 2: War Powers. It's been building all throughout X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. Now it's no longer coming. It's here! The Phoenix Force is set to arrive in the pages of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series in a tale that will forever change the landscape of X-men Supreme.
The waiting is over. The moment has come. Jean Grey, the X-men, and the entire world I've created are now poised to cross paths with a cosmic entity. But as anyone who has followed Marvel's big Avengers vs. X-men event has seen or anyone who has ever followed a story involving the Phoenix Force knows all too well, the Phoenix is a very complex story. Over the years, it has changed both in nature and in scope. In some ways it has grown and in others it has become convoluted. Like many other classic X-men elements, I plan on making the nature and history of the Phoenix Force unique to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series. You'll notice elements from the comics, the cartoons, the movies, and even some that are entirely new. All I can promise is that it will feel like a true Phoenix story. And it begins today!
Issue 63: The Phoenix Saga Part 1
And since this story is so special to both me personally and X-men fans of every mold, I've made sure to include a special bonus with this issue that I haven't done with any issue beforehand. I've teamed up with my artist and friend, Brian Brinlee, to commission a special pin-up that shows Jean Grey in a distinct, X-men Supreme style Phoenix Force costume. It's something I've been hoping to include since I first planned out my Phoenix Saga. Now that it's here, I think it deserves something extra to convey the level of awesome. You can see the image both in the issue and in the X-men Supreme Official Panels section.
I'm very excited about the prospect for this story. I understand there are some very passionate X-men fans out there as well as some deeply devouted fans of Jean Grey. Rest assure, I intend to do those fans justice. That makes providing feedback all the more important. I know I say that a lot, but I mean it every time. One of the goals I set forth in establishing X-men Supreme was to acknowledge and account for feedback. If I'm doing something that readers think is wrong, I want to address it. I haven't received a whole lot of feedback through this website, but the little I have goes a long ways towards helping me make this fanfiction series better. I want to keep improving and the more feedback I get, the better it can be. So please be sure to post a review in each issue or contact me directly. Marvel may be done with their Phoenix story, but X-men Supreme is just getting warmed up! Until next time, take care and best wishes. Excelsior!

September 21st, 2012
With the completion of the Partners In Madness arc, I can finally stop being coy. The biggest event in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series to date is upon us! That event is the Phoenix Saga. That's right! X-men Supreme is about to take on one of the biggest and by far the most influential event in the history of the X-men comics. No X-men series is complete with a Phoenix Saga of sorts. The emotional drama along with the cosmic level action are just some of the reasons why this story resonates with so many X-men fans. As such, I'm very excited to offer my own take. Chris Claremont set the bar very high with the original Phoenix Saga in the pages of Uncanny X-men. It has always been among my favorite X-men stories of all time and that's why I intend to work extra hard to make this the best arc to date of the X-men Supreme fanfiction series.
I'm also astonished at how well my timing is for my Phoenix Saga. Just as Marvel is preparing to end Avengers vs. X-men, a story where the Phoenix Force was a central theme, I'm prepared to begin mine. Now I honestly did not intend for it to work out like this. Believe it or not, it is just a happy conincidence that my work with X-men Supreme is coinciding with what Marvel comics is doing with Avengers vs. X-men. But anyone who has read Avengers vs. X-men or any Phoenix story for that matter knows that the Phoenix Force tends to be a convoluted story. It's been retold, retconned, and what not over the years. And I understand that there are many elements to the story. I intend to try and simplify some of those elements while capturing as many Phoenix themes as possible. I can't get into too many details, but I can offer my usual preview! You can view it here or an extended preivew on the X-men Supreme Official Blog.
While my focus is now entirely on making the X-men Supreme Phoenix Saga as awesome as it can be, don't think I've negated other website updates. With the completion of the last arc, I have updated the bios section to include everyone's favorite Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool. I was reluctant to post it earlier because I didn't want to spoil some of his connections with Wolverine. Now that his history is more defined in X-men Supreme, I can offer more insight into his history within this fanfiction series.
Bios - Deadpool
Since this story is so big and so important to the X-men Supreme fanfiction series, I wan to do everything I can to make it special. With that in mind, I did attempt to contact my artist, artist, Brian Brinlee, to commission a piece of art that would act as a cover for my Phoenix Saga. However, I've been unable to reach him. As such, I would like to request anyone out there who is artistically inclined to assist me. I am looking for a simple pin-up that depicts Jean Grey in a Phoenix costume, but I want that costume to be unique to X-men Supreme. I have some ideas for how I want her to look, but I also am willing to be flexible. I'm also willing to pay. Please contact me if you're interested in helping me and earning a little extra money. The Phoenix is coming and the X-men Supreme fanfiction series will never be the same! Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!

September 14th, 2012
It's a great day for some epic moments in the X-men Supreme fanfiction series! I've been teasing that the current arc, Partners in Madness, is a prelude to a much bigger X-men Supreme arc that promises to be the most epic to date. I've spent so much time talking about it and I'm just about ready to start delivering! I think it's fitting that as Marvel prepares to end their big epic event, Avengers vs. X-men, I'm preparing to do an event on the same scale. Now I honestly didn't plan for it to line up like this, but I'm glad Marvel fans and X-men fans who seek the same epic scale of awesome in Avengers vs. X-men will have something to turn to with X-men Supreme. This fanfiction series is poised to take a big step forward while setting the stage for the end of X-men Supreme Volume 3: Ashes of Hope. It's fitting that the spark comes from the always volatile Deadpool. Well that spark erupts in more ways than one with this latest issue. Check it out and you'll see why!
Issue 62: Partners in Madness Part 2
The prelude is done. And the end of this latest issue should offer a telling clue as to what that event entails. And readers of Avengers vs. X-men should be in familiar territory. This epic X-men Supreme event should be the biggest to date and lay the foundation for a new era in this fanfiction series. As this event nears, I'll focus mostly on keeping the event on schedule. However, I do plan on doing a quick bios update for Deadpool when I get a chance. So stay tuned for that. I know Deadpool has his ardent fans and I have every intention of doing them justice in the world of X-men Supreme.
As the biggest event of X-men Supreme to date draws near, I once again wish to emphasize the importance of reviews. Feedback goes a long ways towards making a story on this scale awesome. I want the X-men Supreme fanfiction series to be as awesome as possible and to do that I have to make these big events count. So please be sure to post your feedback on each issue. Or contact me directly if you wish. I'm always open to chat! As always, I thank all the wonderful readers who have given me their support (Stormbreaker, Bumilinger, and Wolverine 198 especially have my thanks). Until next time, take care and best wishes! Excelsior!
