	Tales From the Database - Mile High Comics, Chuck Rozanski
		Given that most hardcore comics fans are quite impatient to read the next issue of their favorite titles, this one-week shipping advantage quickly caused most avid comics fans to shift their business into the rapidly growing comics specialty stores network around the world.
		While most comics specialty shops do a great job of servicing their existing clients, the distressing truth is that many shops inadvertently (or sometimes blatantly...) give the appearance of being private clubs, where only the already initiated need apply.
		With comics this implied required rate of return is even higher than most goods, as younger comics fans are notorious for leaving stacks of comics laying next to the spinner rack in mass market stores, thus costing the store additional labor to keep the comics area tidy.

	Decimation - Marvel Universe
		Decimation is the name of the late 2005 Marvel Comics crossover spinning out of the House of M miniseries, focusing on the ramifications of the Scarlet Witch's reality-warping abilities stripping nearly all of the mutant population of their powers, reducing a society of millions to one of scant hundreds.
		Decimation began with the self-titled one-shot Decimation: House of M: The Day After, and heralded the relaunch of Excalibur team as New Excalibur, focusing on Pete Wisdom looking for Captain Britain to head up a new British super team, as well as the relaunch of X-Factor from the Madrox miniseries.
		The event was designed to reduce the number of mutant characters wandering around the Marvel Universe, which had been seen as unwieldy and also a lazy way for writers to bring in new superpowered characters, without spending the time to establish their origins.

		HoM wasn't the best comic series I ever read, but it wasn't the worst, either, and it got better when I had the opportunity to read it as a whole.
		Not always, of course, there are books that I will buy or would not touch regardless of what anybody said about it, but particularly for new series or new directions on an existing series I think it's useful to look around at what people are saying about a book.
		In re: Decimation, I actually loved the idea that mutants were an actual population, a minority but a sizable one.

	neil - DECIMATION FAQ - Ver. 1.3
		'Decimation' is the story-event that follows 'House of M', in which the Scarlet Witch decides to lash out at Magneto by magically removing the powers of all mutants.
		A limited series coming out during 'Decimation' is called THE 198, but we don't know exactly what that means - writer David Hine has said that THE 198 exist in addition to "the A list" mutants, which would suggest that none of the X-Men fall into this group.
		Most guesses as to who will keep their powers focus on characters that are pictured in promo materials for post-House of M comics.

	ComicsPriceGuide.com - DECIMATION!
		Granted, this is just the start of Decimation so I could easily change my tune, but after the one shot I have to say I'm pretty excited.
		Decimation the Day after imho is awesome in terms of the time it took to tie up the loose ends of HoM (which what i felt HoM #8 should have been) and setting up more stories for the future.
		I have been one of those Claremont detractors since he returned to UCX but his writing in Decimation is awesome and one can only hope he can carry that through into his X books.

	Son of M #6 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		It's bad enough that the Decimation itself was apparently so contrived that none of the core books' writers wanted to deal with it, thus relegating supposedly-crucial plot developments to various mini-series.
		Son of M was the second Decimation mini-series written by David Hine, the first being The 198.
		Unfortunately, while the two were decidedly different in terms of premise and characters, the one thing they have in common is a complete lack of closure - they might as well have stamped "To be continued in CIVIL WAR #1!" on the last panel.

	Amazon.com: Decimation: X-Men - The Day After: Books: Chris Claremont,Peter Milligan,Salvador Larroca,Randy Green (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		While this book is not as riveting or surprising as House of M, it is a necessity to continue the series, especially if you choose to read Son of M (the continuation of Quicksilver), X-Men: The 198, and much of the new Civil War cross-over event.
		One thing I would criticize heavily about Decimation- Day After, though, is the seemingly abdrupt change in story focus between "The Day After" one-shot (which comprises the first half of the book), and the regular X-Men issues that comprise the second half of the book.
		There is a sudden switch from focusing on a more global perspective with the Decimation event to instead introducting the Sentinels back into the lives of the X-Men, and then a very absurd and out of place story of Lorna coping with her depowerment and Havok helping her.

		In a sense, they will be writing fan fiction, the personal accounts that aren’t mentioned in the comics.
		There is still a plot, but it is written in the comics, and therefore there is no need to write it out on the site.
		The cultural discrimination, the perspective of mutants, social Darwinism, the corruption and struggle for dominance, these are things that the comics barely scrape the surface of on a personal basis, that we have the opportunity to delve into.

	Broken Frontier \| The Portal for Quality Comics Coverage!
		The miniseries, which ties in with the Decimation arc running through most of the mutant books, would seem to focus on the lesser known mutants remaining after events at the end of the House of M miniseries.
		For an event that was supposed to shake up the Marvel Universe to its core, the reduction in the number of mutants in the current storyline has raised mixed feelings in me. As it’s played, the reductions have brought more tension and drama to the mutant books.
		One of the most detestable things that comic companies did back in the comic glut of the 90s was to increase sales on their books by using gimmicks.

		There are a few mini series to tell stories that stem from House of M's ending, but all the main titles with the Decimation logo are just dealing with the major change to the mutant world as they go about their regular stories.
		I buy comics from both companies (and independents too), but I'll probably always be a DC fan.
		I'm a gung-ho Marvel fan and have read comics since the mid-80's, tailed off in 94-2000 and came back just in the nick of time to see Colossus sacrifice himself for the sake of curing the Legacy Virus.

		He said their goal was to do the time warp and go back to a time in the Marvel Universe akin to the late 1960s where it was exciting and fresh when a new mutant appeared in the Universe.
		You're not using the literal meaning of decimation which is 1 in 10, but this seems more like an obliteration...
		The term "decimate" finds its origin in the ancient Roman practice of killing one in every ten of a rebellious populace.

		The story picks up at the Grey family Christmas party, where Rachel Grey (the other timely daughter of Cyclops and Jean Grey) is meeting members of her family for the first time.
		One thing that has bugged me about this arch is that it is labeled as a decimation tie in, yet it has nothing to do with the decimation stuff.
		Other wise the story is a good old fashion Claremont styled x-men tale yet to be complicated with the usual x-men malarkey of excessive characters, and over dramatizing.
