Well, howdy folks! Let me tell ya about some comic books comin’ out in January 2024. Marvel, ya know, the ones with all them superheroes flyin’ around and fightin’ bad guys.
First off, we got this X-Men thing. Fall of the House of X, they call it. Sounds fancy, huh? Says it’s the “beginning of the end” of somethin’ called the Krakoan Age. Don’t ask me what that is, sounds like somethin’ them city folks made up. But it’s comin’ out January 3rd, so mark yer calendars if you’re into that sort of thing.
Now, I ain’t read too many comic books myself. Too busy milkin’ cows and tendin’ to the chickens, ya see. But my grandson, that little whippersnapper, he loves ’em. He’s always got his nose in one of them picture books, makin’ whoosh and pow sounds. Says these X-Men are mutants, folks born with special powers. Kinda like that fella down the road who can eat a whole watermelon in one bite, I guess.
- January 3rd, remember that. That’s when this Fall of the House of X starts. It’s number one, so I reckon you gotta start there if you wanna know what’s goin’ on.
- They got a whole bunch of other X-Men books comin’ out too. Too many for me to remember, to be honest. Somethin’ about Wolverine, he’s a hairy fella with claws, and some other folks with names I can’t even pronounce.
This Marvel company, they sure do make a lot of these things. Must be makin’ a pretty penny, sellin’ all them books to kids and grown-ups alike. My grandson says they even make movies about ’em now. Big ol’ pictures on a giant screen. Can you imagine? I ain’t never seen nothin’ like that.
I hear tell there’s also somethin’ called solicitations. Sounds like somethin’ a salesman does, knockin’ on yer door tryin’ to sell ya somethin’ you don’t need. But apparently, in the comic book world, it means they’re tellin’ ya what’s comin’ out soon. So, these January solicitations, they’re just a list of books you can buy next month. Simple as that.
Now, I don’t know why anyone would wanna read about folks flyin’ around in capes and fightin’ aliens. Seems to me like there’s enough real-life problems to worry about, like the price of corn and whether it’s gonna rain enough this year. But hey, to each their own, I always say. If it makes folks happy, let ’em read their comic books.
So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to read in January, and you like them superhero stories, go ahead and check out these Marvel comics. X-Men, Fall of the House of X… all that jazz. You can probably find ’em at the store, or maybe even online, if you’re one of them fancy computer folks. Me, I’ll stick to my newspapers and the Sears catalog. At least I know what’s real and what’s make-believe in them.
And one more thing, don’t go spendin’ all yer money on them picture books. Save some for a rainy day, ya hear? You never know when you might need a new pair of boots or a bag of chicken feed. That’s the real important stuff in life, not some superhero fightin’ a robot from outer space. But hey, if you get a chance, tell me what all that fuss about the Fall of Krakoa is about, will ya? Sounds like a whole lotta nothin’ to me.

Anyway, that’s all I got to say about these Marvel comic books. Hope it was helpful, or at least entertainin’. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them pies I got bakin’ in the oven. Don’t want ’em to burn, ya know.
