Articles & Research

While the articles within "Cerebro Files" and "X-Universe" address what's in the comics on a factual basis, this sections main trait is to talk about comics. There is no regulated format here, and though the articles do contain lots of facts, they might be presented in a different form other than the chronological approach of the other section's. Also, kind of adding a second layer, the articles might contain an author's voice or some personal opinions and speculations. To make it short: "Merging Minds" is for everything that doesn't fit elsewhere.
As you can see below, there is a rather wide array of topics presented in this section, starting with several specific articles about certain characters and storylines, next to a few entries on continuity problems and other things, such as critical reviews and humor based ideas.

If you find any errors that need correcting, or if you would like to contribute to this section get in touch.
