This Saturday, May 31st, 2008, The Factual Opinion's Head Comics Writer will tackle the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol 1, live-blogging his way through this Highly Esteemed! and Oh So Important! volume of comic book literature. Published in 2006, the Omnibus contains Giant Size X-Men # 1, Uncanny X-Men #94-131 and Uncanny X-Men Annual # 3, which is somewhere around 2000 years worth of comic books, all in an impossible-to-carry-for-very-far hardcover tome. With art and writing details by Chris Claremont, John Byrne & Dave Cockrum, these are the comics known around the world as "comics that a decent portion of people like."

Tucker Stone, a regular comics blogger and columnist for Comixology.com is not well known for being a very astute, nor intelligent, critic, but he does have spell check and enjoy using convoluted metaphors and foul language, both of which are sure to make for an exciting day or so of reading all of these comics, none of which he has read before, and all of which he assumes he will probably hate. So, again: this Saturday, starting around 10 AM and continuing until this thing is done, all in one sitting! (Someone will be cooking him food.)

To get in the mood, please rent and watch "Where The Heart Is," the one from 1990 featuring Dabney Coleman.
