Would like to discuss the current state of X-comics because I haven't been on here lately.
What's the consensus on that last twist in Extraordinary? Was that really Rightclops?
I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of all these new X-books. Girlverine started out shitty but looks like it's getting better.
>>78886823
Is wrong I prefer marvel use this style? The art style is very fluid and organic.
>>78886924
Just give him jacket.
You know, like in game.
>>78886823
>Was that really Rightclops?
It wasn't.
>quality
>new X-books
For you, maybe. I send them all my hate thoughts.
>>78886924
90s Cyclops costume is the best. And MvC2 had the coolest art.
>>78887114
>hi, Scott <3
>sexes Cable
What a woman.
>>78886823
>I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of all these new X-books.
How?
Extraordinary is boring, nonsensical and misses characterizations constantly.
All-New X-Men is mediocre to the point of being completely irrelevant
Uncanny X-Men seems nice enough, but is currently drawn by fucking Land.
Uncanny Avengers actually sort of drew my interest after I originally dismissed it, but I'm not sure if that will actually last.
Dumping some more pics.
>Deadpool became Avenger before X-Man
X-Men anniversary had shit covers.
I liked the direction the X-Men were going pre-HoM with "aite lets just make a bunch of teams with random superpowers and watch them work" but now seeing the same old guys work their same old powers that they had decades ago is starting to get boring
>there's reality where X-Men are loved and adored
>lol, let me destroy it because Scott Summers
>Scott Summers?
>>78888362
Best outfits we will never see again
>>78888611
I'm especially fond of Gambit, dude using old timey rifle out of nowhere.
>>78888519
The Generation X and Age of Apocalypse covers give me a serious nostalgia-boner
>>78888662
Compare that Lobdell to today's Red Hood/Teen Titans.
>>78888481
>mfw X-Men comics will never be fun, semi-light-hearted standard superhero romps, with the team united at the mansion, a large student body and nobody hating each other
Why live. I'm almost done with Marvel.
>Cable falling out of fucking nowhere
>>78888714
If only one man was less right...
That aside, we gotta have SCHISM! Because happy fans are bad fans and flamethrowers in noncombative school are good things.
I want to shank Aaron so bad.
>>78888487
Why can't the good times last? Why is it that Marvel writers are only capable of coming up with three stories these days: "X-Men break down the middle", "X-Men are on the run" and "X-Men/mutants are on the verge of extinction".
We want to see them win, Marvel. They've been in a downward spiral for so many years it's gotten boring.
>>78888758
Don't forget "Mutants finally gain acceptance, haha, it was a trap"
I like this Storm.
>>78888758
Shared universe was a mistake. And Marvel really, really, REALLY loves status quo. And if X-Men were to win, status quo would change and everyone would lose their heads!
>>78888583
What's this from?
>>78888785
That All-New X-Men special. 25, I think? It shows many realities Beast destroyed.
>Scott, you're my bestest friend! Wanna go to eat pancakes? ^.^

>>78886823
>I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of all these new X-books.
Only Wolverine is good though.
Why are people in the Marvel universe fine with people like Spider-Man or Doctor Strange but not the X-Men?
>>78889113
Blame whoever came up with HATED AND FEARED line. I know that Marvel loves status quo, but sheesh, they went hardcore with this one.
>>78889113
It is odd, because it seems that no matter how you got your powers, mutant/magic/radiation, 99% likely your offspring are gonna have powers too.
>>78889411
And that would make them mutants.
>>78886823
Every time Rightclops is wrong, it's actually an anal Skrull disguised as Rightclops.
>>78889437
And if it's not Skrull, it's Sentinel designed to look as Cyclops.
>>78888641
i love psylocke's ass.
>>78889514
You and me both. To hell with everyone who hates swimsuit.
"Hey, we have a mutant here who can cure any disease, even cancer."
"This one can stop a tsunami by looking at it."
"This one invented a clean, safe source of infinite energy."
"That dude can stop earth-quakes."
"This lady can make a hurricane dissipate in seconds."
"This one can see the future."
HATED AND FEARED
>>78889540
>Mutant who can cure any disease can also cause them, gives a guy inoperable cancer to blackmail him
>Mutant who can see the future is convinced to just use it to play the stock market by the blue lady she's fucking
>Mutant who can invent infinite clean energy can't actually put it into effect because his powers tell him how to build it, but don't fix the problem that the machine will take years of dedicated focus to build
>Mutants who can stop tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes can also cause them, usually for the purpose of robbing banks and jacking armored cars
Welcome to the X-men, hope you survive the experience.
>>78889673
>robbing banks and jacking armored cars
I've often wondered about those sort of low-level, unimaginative crooks with incredible powers. Hydro-Man, Electro, Speed Demon - wouldn't they make more money in a Heroes For Hire kinda situation? And probably more easily too?
>>78890004
Status quo. Sandman used to be mercenary, even Avenger for short time.
Nope, back to robbing banks and shit.
>>78890004
>wouldn't they make more money in a Heroes For Hire kinda situation? And probably more easily too?
Because they're so unimaginative, they tend to lean towards "low risk, high reward". Being a hero for hire means you need a situation where someone would pay as much, if not more than a Kingpin or Justin Hammer would, and would more likely put you up against people more willing to kill you instead of Spider-Man webbing you up to go back to prison again.
>>78889113
Spider-Man was and sometimes is considered a menace. Some folks also thought that he was a mutie.
In Doctor Strange series there used to be occasionally people protesting outside of his house and considering magic = satanism
Even Avengers got their own share of hatred
>>78889113
I only wonder why Catholic zealots don't go after pagan gods.
>>78889113
there's always an invisible risk that your kid will be born a mutant, and people blame mutants for that because finding out your daughter is and always will be a living radioactve power plant is the kind of thing that fills you with the need to blame someone
non-mutant (and now non-inhuman) teens with powers are really really rare and most manage to maintain their secret identity at least until adulthood.
I'm glad everyone hates the current books and their direction. They all suck. Hopefully it means Rightclops will come back soon to save the line.
>>78891682
>Hellfire book with Rightclops, Emma, Selene and Maddie doing evil, evil stuff
Yes please.
>>78888793
The loss of surprisingly sexy dyke haircut Emma Frost is but a small price to pay for the erasure of skeezy middle-aged beach creeper Beast and "highlight my crotch" Cyclops.
>>78891750
And that is one of better costumes Cyclops had.
>>78886823
HEY CYCLOPS
NICE DIAPER
>>78888362
Was age of X a good event ?
All the past x-men event have been mediocre or bad
>>78891682
I like a good chunk of them, I just don't read avengers or x-men since that's where all the bad ideas go.
>>78891838
If you hate "it was all a dream", then it sucks.
It was nice event to me. Insane Hulk, Iron Corpse, cool clothes, crazy Punisher, Wolverine not snikting bubs...
>>78890004
The recent Captain Falcon issue with Diamondback made a good point about that, there really isn't going to be much demand for that kind of work and competition is going to be high due to all the other guys in the same business. Most actual merc work involves killing people for money and private security, outside a comparatively small number of jobs, mostly involves sitting in an office watching a camera feed. Plus their extensive criminal backgrounds legally prevents them from working security in some states. Realistically, Hydro-Man would be better off in industry - purifying water or in oil fracking, Electro going back to the power company and supplying extra power during peak demand times and as a mobile power station, and Speed Demon would probably work best as a bodyguard since he can react faster than assailants.
>>78888783
>And Marvel really, really, REALLY loves status quo.
but they got the status quo wrong. Until the second half of the 90es the status quo was that the future one that could go terribly wrong or incredibly well, and the x-men had to fight to protect hope and to keep building a better future.
While the villains tried to destroy mutants and the x-men had to stop them and protect the status-quo.
Te current status quo is one where the villain have won and the x-men must keep losing.
>>78891784
If there is anyone who should just go with the civilian look, it's Cyclops. A little Jack Knight Starman, a little GitS, and X-themed latex for special occasions.
>>78886823
Nope preview revealed it was a clone
>>78892020
Am I wrong or you're fan of costume+ jacket combo?
So which Inhuman will be credited with the supposed death of Cyclops and which book will he return in?
Cyclops is going to come back in Uncanny Inhumans as the co-owner of black bolt's casino
>>78892063
>casino
Summers Brothers Pizzeria or nothing.
>>78892068
>It has an optic blast of flavor
>>78891870
well it wasn't just a dream though was it?
>>78892047
Not a huge fan of costume+jacket since with most artists it tends to overbulk the torso and usually comes off clashing with the underlying costume.
I mean that when the X-Men find a mutant kid it should be Scott in a nice suit with his visor sitting down and talking to the kid and his/her parents.
>>78892134
Close enough, only Utopians remembered it.
>>78892142
Ah, got it. Well, you're right, that's how it should be. But hacks will be hacks.
>>78892068
Two Summers, an Emma, and a Pizza Place
>>78892356
Sounds like title of crime movie.
I want to punch that Xavier.
>>78892134
That dream made Pixie go insane and literally blew Chamber's head off.
>>78892063
Is it bad that I actually want Cyclops to be in Uncanny or All-new Inhumans instead of any of the X-books? I like Soule well enough and McNiven and Caselli are both great artists. In comparison, all the X-books are saddled with either shit or mediocre art and shit or mediocre writing. I hate the way they've been shitting on Cyclops, but at this point, i don't want him anywhere near the X-men. They turned their back on him? Fine, fuck them.
I'm not interested in this whole x-fans vs. inhumans pissing match and just want to see my favorite character(s) appear in good books.
Hoping UA gets better because I need more Cable in my life.
In fact, when I look at the rosters, the only characters I care about in the X-books are:
>EXM
Colossus
>ANXM
Evan
>UXM
Magneto
Which, just, fuck man. It's hard for me to care about an X-book that doesn't have any of the characters I like while also not being interesting enough to be carried on the back of the creative team alone.
>>78892948
It's not bad at all. I know your feel. I don't care about O5, don't care about anyone on EXM, UXM has Magneto, Psylocke and Mystique, but with shit banter and Land.
>>78892948
Brandon peterson is taking over for Mcniven after this month's Uncanny. Has Soule written Cyclops before?
>>78893146
>Has Soule written Cyclops before?
Don't think so. Can't be worse than Bendis.
>>78892948
I'm more interested in what happened between him and the Inhumans and them meeting than him meeting up with the rest of x-men.Also the Inhumans books are better right now
>>78893872
How do you mean, what happened? He went to war alone, since all of X-Men would rather shoot him in back rather than follow.
>>78893921
He's not the only one missing but he is the only one reported dead. Good as punch dimension eyes are I can't imagine he did something so bad that people can't even mention what it was on his own. It would be an interesting twist if he was framed though.
>>78894053
>Maybe he killed Black Bolt!
>No, he's alive.
>He killed Medusa!
>Nope, alive.
>Killed Ahura?
>Kang'd.
>Karnak?
>Nah.
>Killed anyone with name?
>Nope.
Whatever reason for HATEHATEHAETHETA, it'll be idiotic.
>>78891870
>If you hate "it was all a dream", then it sucks.
Except it wasn't. Legion altered reality and stuff that happened there had real world consequences i.e. Tempo dying and Frenzy's left over feeling for Rightclops.
>>78894106
He could have killed Luna. She was living with the x-kids last time she showed up.
>>78894272
Why would Luna be in fight?
>>78894328
>fight
It wouldn't be a fight it would be Scott killing a little girl to hurt the royal family as revenge for the Terrigen.
I am reading the new mutants v1 and some days ago someone stoytimed N M v2 And i wonder, when did karma become a lesbian and why ? Just curious i dont want to start shit
>>78894372
Yeah, no.
>>78894391
Claremont created her. He's infamous for making all of his female characters "bicurious".
Aye, there are people who claim Kitty Pryde is full-blown lesbian. Storm, too.
>>78894372
Isn't Luna half mutant?
Oh wait.What is she then?
>>78894468
Half Inhuman, half imaginary mutant, Magneto would death camp her.
>>78891720
>2 Black Queens
>Both of them are magic-users
Talk about an imbalance.
>>78894468

>>78891720
More like Quentin and whatever teen x-men.
If you remember and the end of wolverine and the x-men v2 Quentin aquire the hellfire club and in the solicitation for uncanny x-men we will find out who is running the club.
Is most likely to be Quentin
>>78894654
Psh, my Club is cooler.
>>78894505
This reminds me.
Do we know how Polaris reacted to Wanda and Pietro not being mutants and neither her half siblings?iirc she still resent Wanda for M day and could only stand her because she was her half sister. But now she is not only not her sister but she is a not-mutant that committed mutant genocide.
All New X-Factor ended right before AXIS, didn't it? I just remember Quicksilver leaving the team before we are left in a cliffhanger but I don't think he told Lorna about this.
>>78894725
Quicksilver the Hedgehog.
>>78894725
It wasn't shown. Last time she interacted with any of twins is, as you said, in All-New X-Factor. She only saw Magneto and they didn't talk about it, iirc.
extraordinary 3 was decent, maybe Lemire can get a handle yet

>Warren's hair

>>78889113
A lot of it is because mutants are born that way and you had people like Magneto violently advocating for mutant supremacy. To the average MU citizen this makes it seem like there is a race of people who are born more powerful than them threatening to replace them and saying "get with the program or we'll violent cull you". That's not happening with Spider-Man, Doctor Strange or Reed.
The problem comes from the fact that mutants are born while the others tend to be made. The average MU citizen doesn't need to worry that they're going to be outbred into extinction by a guy who was bitten by a spider, but they DO need to worry about the fact they will by people who are born by seemingly random chance with the X-gene. That was kind of a big part of the background of Morrison's run was the demographic shift. Think of the same reason people get pissed at Mexicans in America or Arabs in Europe.
>>78894903

>>78894391
Mekanix or something like that. Claremont created her and then wrote her coming out years later.
>>78887558
Uncanny Avengers has some cool stuff if you can get past the terrible first arc and if you don't mind much character development. It's basically Remender's sequel to Uncanny X-Force.
>>78888802
who are you referring too?
>>78895283
Magik.
>>78894106
Well, Lockjaw is missing too. I don't think he has been in ms.marvel or anything else.
>>78894654
>Is most likely to be Quentin
Yay, more Hellfire Babies.
>>78894725
>right before AXIS, didn't it?
Nah, it had a tie in for it. It was alive for a bit more after that.
>>78891720
Did Wood's X-Book do anything with Maddie or Selene? And I still feel bad for Maddie
>>78895747
Did nothing. Storm let them go on their marry way, then X-Men went to space or whatever story arc was next.
>>78895789
I still don't get it. Madelyne Pryor is fucking alive and nobody even cares, no writer gets around to it and all we get is other pointless bullshit.
Ah fucking monkey's paw. I bet Hopeless is going to use her and utterly waste her again.
>>78895929
Will it involve Tyclops and romance?
>>78895929
Writers are imbeciles. It's better to fill X-Women team with telepaths and omg Shogo cute XDDD
>>78895994
My mugga.
>>78889430
No, mutants specifically have the X-Gene which is what gives them their abilities/classifies them as mutants; it's why Mayday's not a mutant.
Technically Mutant is a separate species. Everyone else is a mutate.
>>78896045
My bad then. Read somewhere that powered people have mutants kids so I rolled with it.
>>78896146
>Read somewhere that powered people have mutants kids so I rolled with it.
Some powered people have mutant kids. Reed and Sue's son is a mutant despite Reed and Sue being mutates, not mutants. But not all super-babies are mutants. Some just inherited their parents powers.

Question.
Aside from Xavier's/Jean Grey's School for Gifted Youngsters what other schools for mutants there have been?
I know that Emma ran one back in the day and she tried to snatch Kitty first for her school, though I can't recall the name, I believe it was destroyed.
Oh, and the New Xavier school that Cyclops and Emma ran for a while, but that read more like militant training for his 'revolution'.
>>78896411
But you gotta admit, "get the hell off my island" was neat moment.
And Schism really overstayed its welcome. If I had any say in matter, I'd make Right School create X-Men, while Lame School would have mutants who want to be civilians.
>>78896469
None. There are superhero schools, like Avengers Academy and Braddock Institute, but no mutant schools.
Sure, there was Hellfire Institute, but we're gentlemen of taste so we don't discuss that atrocity.
>>78896469
The one with mc something, from deadly génesis with vulcan and Darwin
>>78896411
>it's been 5 years since Schism
Holy shit, this could have been a good time to unite the X-men, but instead they decided to continue with this bullshit.
>>78886823
Extraordinary has been extraordinarily terrible.
All New has no impact as the story has no context to the events its based off of.
First uncanny book was kind of meh. why doesn't Archangel have the cosmic wings? Why is he archangel again anyway?
>>78888481
But he did join the x-men when wolverine asked him too. He was their token human for a while.
>>78896899
Archangel =/= cosmic Angel. Originals have no connection to young versions, except they die when young version is killed. But, as you can see, nothing changed with older Warren, he doesn't have cosmic upgrade. Likewise older Scott doesn't remember young Scott's adventure in space.
>>78896411
>>I'm a leader who's known for being level-headed, cool, willing to be diplomatic and who is respected by the likes of Captain America and Reed Richards.

It gave us a neat costume and this.
>>78896899
> why doesn't Archangel have the cosmic wings? Why is he archangel again anyway?
You're thinking of the wrong Angel. The O5 Angel has the cosmic wings, current angel has been reverted back to Archangel because blahblah Death Seed blahblah stuff no one read in Wolverine and the X-Men.
Honestly, I kind of prefer Archangel being like this literal weapon that Psylocke controls. There's an interesting relationship to explore there... unlike what fucking happened with Psylocke's and Fantomex's relationship. What a clusterfuck that was.
>>78892050
>So which Inhuman will be credited with the supposed death of Cyclops
Assuming he attacked Attilan and that Black Bolt was still not allowed back. Karnak or Iso.
>>78897097
>unlike what fucking happened with Psylocke's and Fantomex's relationship. What a clusterfuck that was.
I really would've prefered Fantomex not joining the new team.
>>78897469
Anyone fan of Fantomex? Everywhere I turn, people hate him.
>>78894915
the real cause is a 3-billion sentient bacteria hellbent on taking over the world but he's an insignificant dustspeck compared to the likes of Mephisto, Galactus, etc
>>78897469
Fantomex has become self-parody by this point.
Is Psylocke subscribed to the X-Force news letter? She seems to be on every team except for the time there were two running.
>>78897629
>I'm WEAPON, I am DEAD INSIDE!
>I don't want to KILL anymore!
>lol joking, I enjoy killing
>I HATE myself for ENJOYING killing!
Betsy, get your shit straight already.
>>78897506
Fantomex will bite the dust and for some reason Evan will lose control.
I just spoiled toy all new x-men apocalype war
>>78897506
I liked Fantomex alot in Remender's X-Force and Spurrier's X-Force. They came up with some interesting dynamics for him. Everywhere else he's pretty terrible in the hands of "grounded" writers though he's only really been in one other run (Humphries' X-Force).
We'll see how this Fantomex turns out but it's hard to say.
>>78897741
At least it isn't torn between ethnicity problems again.
>>78897835
>lets see what's on CBR's Psylocke thread

>>78897741
Betsy is just a magnet for bad writing. Shame, really.
Any news on Hope and Domino ever showing up again? Cable is running around in Extraordinary, right? It's weird that the mutant messiah is now just a footnote that's been replaced with the fucking O5 X-Men.
>>78897864
Faces are an important part of recognizing others.
>>78897927
>Cable is running around in Extraordinary, right?
Uncanny Avengers. And no, no Hope or Domino so far.
>>78897927
Domino will show up sooner or later but Hope's in a spot where no one knows what to do to her but Simon and Simon's not doing shit. Maybe she and her team will have a cameo doing stuff somewhere in the background (weren't Psylocke still on her team when she booted Cable? What's up with that?)
>>78897927
Hope got Marrow and ForgetMeNot accidentally killed on her first mission and gave up.
>>78898098
>Cyclops removed her from family tree
>>78897741
Is it sad that I really want a Braddock family domestic SoL comic?
>>78898098
Whoa, really? When?
>>78898153
It was a lie
>>78898143
Nah. I want same thing, but with Summers family.
>>78888519
are you kidding that's an awesome piece you've got a great mix of new and old X-artists, David Lopez and Phil Noto should have been replaced with someone more integral to X-History but the Lopez section is still strong.
Another thread got me curious: Are there are downloads to Claremont's X-Men work? I only see bits and pieces on torrent sites.
>>78897629
>Fantomex has become self-parody by this point.
He was a parody from his inception.
A completely over the top version of Gambit.
I can't really place where it all went wrong. I just think he overstayed his welcome. I would've hoped that he wouldn't show up for a while after what Spurrier wrote, but then Spurrier gets ignored all the time.
>>78886924
90s costumes are probably what most people know the X-Men for.

>Dear Diary,

She called me a "preening, privileged participant in the military-industrial complex relishing his whiteness," before reiterating loudly that she's still a lesbian. I reminded her that she's an upper-class white woman culturally appropriating a Japanese corpse. She hung up on me.
>Then James called, which was alarming because he's supposed to be dead, talking about eyeless children and a black star. Also, that Newcastle is going to win the FA Cup.
>I had to cut his ramblings short when Wisdom showed up at my front door covered in blood asking to borrow a shovel and my backyard.
>>78898686
And by that I mean it's their most known outfits.
>>78886823
I can't believe I'm saying this, but of all the X-Books, I think the 05 book might be the best. And that's just wrong

You are right, I didn't read it. Last I saw Angel was when Teen Angel met him.

Ha
>>78898836
is Banshee still dead?
>>78898836
>Maddie will be back to get scolded by Teen Jeen any month now.
Where did it all go so fucking wrong. It shouldn't have to be like this.
>>78898709
Pottery, anon. Pure pottery.
>>78898883
So far, yes.
>>78894848
why is Colossus dressed like Saejima?
>>78898883
Well, he was turned into a Death in Uncanny Avengers, and they left it nebulous what happened to him, but since Daken, Grim Reaper, and Sentry are all still alive, I think it's fair to say he is too?
>>78898988
>Banshee is still in Avengers' basement
>>78898883
Banshee is a horseman of the Apocalypse now. Last I remember was Wasp fucking up his vocal cords.
>>78898753
For me Uncanny is easily the best, total nostalgia bomb, it reads just like X-Men books used to when I started buying X-Men comics many many moons ago.
All-New is a mess, you don't have a feel for most of the cast, Idle, Evan (have they even used their powers yet?) Angel, Iceman and Wolverine might as well not even be in the book.
the book should be renamed "Even As Kids: Beast Hates Scott Summers"
>>78898920
well I kinda like how Dr. Doom's Secret Wars Goon Platoon are getting pushes post SW, Maddie would be a great villain for just about anyone, her vs Thor or Angela would be ready made big money fights but Jean Grey is like black hole the pull is too strong to ignore.
>>78899312
>her vs Thor or Angela would be ready made big money fights but Jean Grey is like black hole the pull is too strong to ignore.
No, stop. Bad idea. Let Avenger villains job to girl power.
>>78898988
Only Daken re appared from those four. I don't remember any comic with Grim Reaper or Sentry since then.
>>78899413
Grim Reaper is killed by Vision's wifey.
>>78899312
>Maddie would be a great villain for just about anyone, her vs Thor or Angela would be ready made big money fights
X-Men have only one single villain left.
Uncanny X-Men had to resort to the most obscure 90s villains imaginable just to operate at all.
The last thing we need is for an interesting X-Men villain to go out and fight terrible gimmick Avengers characters in terrible gimmick books.
>>78899438
Oh fuck.
I'm not reading Vision but is Reaper dead again already?
>>78899503
Yeah. Appeared all angry because he misses Simon, wanted to kill robots and wifey whacked him.
>>78899413
>I don't remember any comic with Grim Reaper
Why aren't you reading Vision, anon. What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>78899503
>I'm not reading Vision
Whyyy?
Characters we know nothing about
Scott, Emma, Rachel, Hope, cuckoos
most x factor and x force characters
exodus, mystique
>>78901221
>mystique
she's joining Bunn's Uncanny next issue.
>>78901221
Mystique is on the new X-Force
Any word where Pixie is?
Only character I like that isn't accounted for yet, I think.(I've given up on Sage, Mercury, and Surge, ever being used again.)
I miss the days of Faction and Carey and Kyle/Yost.
I think my two favorite periods are ~01 to ~04 and ~08 to ~early 12.
2013 to now has just sucked.
Note - I do enjoy Claremont's 70's and 80's stuff, but it did not age well, at least not to someone who started reading comics in 2001, lol.

>This will never be mentioned again
>>78904906
I still need to read Kyle/Yost and Claremont. Haven't heard any great things about Fraction. I should really read teh Morrison runs too.
>>78892727
But did he died?
>>78909971
No he got better. He was running around in Spurrier's X-Men Legion
>>78909503
Morrison's run is legendary in my opinion.
Fraction's run wasn't anything amazing, but I liked it enough. (It is amazing compared to Bendis' though.)
>>78910144
I read that. God it was good. I didn't know if this happened before or after, comic continuity being what it is.
Any explanations?
>>78910598
Technically none of it ever happened since Legion reverted time to before the comic and then erased his existence.
>>78894789
Yes, Scott, babies wear diapers.
Adults should not.
>>78910560
The art is so terrible in some of Morrisons run though
>>78911783
I HATED Igor Kordey, but most of the other art was fine.
I just wish Quitely could have done the whole run, that would have been awesome, but he takes years to do anything.

Surprisingly enough, she's the one Claremont woman who didn't have the lesbian subtext. Instead Claremont gave her one of his other fetishes (mind control) while Dani/Rahne and Kitty/Ilyana got the lesbian subtext.
She kind of bopped around in the '90s looking for her brother and sister with Beast and Wolverine, then showed up in X-Force #75 (the Burning Man issue) with short cropped pink hair and living with two other dykey looking women. Nothing was outright stated but the hints were obvious.
So Claremont I guess saw that, his fetish meter overloaded and we got the Mekanix mini with the not-so-subtle lesbian undertones with her and Kitty... then NM v2 immediately squashed that ship. IIRC the writers at the time mentioned on a forum that they knew they'd catch a lot of shit from Kitty fanboys if they went with making her a lesbian and didn't want to deal with it.
Really, Shan had nothing even remotely resembling any kind of romantic life. And outside of a few minor false starts via blatant hinting (Kitty in Mekanix, Luna in NM/NXM, Warbird in Astonishing) she STILL has no love life whatsoever.
>>78911869
Kordey also got fucked drawing like 4 issues in a weekend
>>78895747
>Did Wood's X-Book do anything
No, outside of horribly bungling the concept of Jubilee as a mother.
>>78898686
I was talking about the artstyle of the (at the time) Capcom's inhouse artist.
>>78912971
That is true, Marvel rode him hard and dry and then he just disappeared.(Or not? I just never saw him on X-Men stuff after X-treme X-Men.)
>>78898585
Where it went wrong was that you had other writers (Remender and the like) either not getting the concept fo the character or ignoring it in favor of shoehorning him into a role they needed and he only superficially (and very loosely at that) fulfilled. Seems to happen to a lot of Morrison's Marvel characters i.e. what happened to Marvel Boy and Quentin Quire.
>>78909503
Kyle/Yost's NXM will have one of two reactions: you'll either love it or you'll absolutely hate it. I fall into the latter camp; didn't find any of it interesting and it did lasting damage to that generation of kids not in-story but out of it. I get the impression most view them as nothing but PTSD sufferers who will break down when faced with any adversity so better to ignore them.
>>78909971
Nah, just went back to being without half a head. He used to look like Apocalypse Jr since M-Day and up until Age of X.
>>78888460
Why is Cyclops shooting himself in the dick?
>>78913048
Hilariously powerful team.
>>78916672
Breaking chains, since Sentinel... chained him. It's homage to FF #1.
>>78912996
CBR had Shogo's "buh" or whatever it was, sound of the year.
Also, X-Sentinel.
>>78904906
I miss Carey and K&Y, but come on mand, Fraction
>Land
>Dodson
>Magneto Kneeling to Cyclops
>Everyone is a background character
>Utopia
>The fucking designer X-Men bad Guys
>Fucking up the Battleworld aliens
>Those annoying as fuck character briefs
>Magneto, Cyclops, Namor, Emma main X-Men, ignoring all the others
>Cyclops is always right
I'll credit it with trying to do something different, but the main book was pretty garbage
>>78917870
If you're fan of those characters, it's awesome. But I get that you're not one of them, so I understand.
>>78917870
Fraction reintroduced Nemesis though. Gotta give him that.
>>78917870
Fraction wasn't bad. He fucking used everyone during his run, even Lifeguard was accounted for during his stint.
