Well about you being worried that your book is a "D&D novel", don't be. You will always be influenced by the styles of writing your exposed to most. So embrave the D&Dness of your book and just go with it. Take what you need from things you've read in the past and make it your own. Once you know...
I'd like to point out that even though I'm only 17 I was exposed to the X-men and Angel the superhero about 8 or 9 years before I even showed remote intrest in Angel the vampire. On another note does anyone know if it'll be Angel or Archangel in the film?
First I'm 17 so it may be a generational thing. But I happen to know alot about comics and lets face it guys Angel the vampire is a hell of alot more mainstream then Angel the superhero.
Well Beast has been confirmed to be in X3. Kelsey Grammer is going to play him. Big, furry, blue him. Also I doubt Angel will appear in X3 because the wing x-ray in X2 was the start of the wings for Angel but they cost too much money to finish.
Whats with all this stuff I'm hearing about Cap's sidekick Bucky being alive and using the name Winter Soldier? Next thing you know Uncle Ben and Captian Marvel will be back too.
