For someone who’s trying to build the most comprehensive hub for all things comic book game related, I feel ashamed that this got past me. Coming tomorrow from mobile developer Glitchsoft is the video game tie-in to this coming Friday’s blockbuster X-Men film, Days of Future Past. Players can take on the roles of classic X-Men…
