AFCBL: Final May Scores, Weeks 14-17

Well my victory celebration was cut short by another dramatic loss to Shaun in May. Our teams shattered point totals for the month, thanks in large part to big Avengers appearances and the launch of Original Sin, but my 54-point tally falls short of Shaun’s epic 56-point month. I renamed my team and finally took a chance…

Cyclops and Iceman failed me in the first month of the league, so I dropped my two X-Men in favor of two X-Women. Shaun dropped an X-Woman himself as well as one of his personal favorites.

Snow White/Jean Grey – Two Shades of the Same Color

These articles were intended to take a look at how those movie characters were portrayed in other mediums, including their respective source material which influenced the films. It was also intended to be a good reason…
