X-ual Healing is a column of the people, so we feel that the X-ual Healing Awards should represent not […]
In a bittersweet farewell that will surely leave fans wishing for an alternate universe in which the X-Men line wasn't relaunched, X-Men Red writer Tom Taylor revealed that he could have written the fan-favorite series "for years" if it hadn't been canceled to make way for the return of Uncanny X-Men.

Anyone who's watched cable news for the past two years can see that personalities such as CNN's Don Lemon have had enough of your bull@#$%, leading to both a more honest and more entertaining cable news landscape.
