Yeah but she and the lights were supposed to begin the slow trickle of new mutants that they had to retcon away so Iron Man could catch a case of plot born idiocy that was "the phoenix will destroy us despite all repeated evidence to the contrary and the mutants having a custom-built host ready for her. I'm a genius!"

Yes after thirty odd years of Cyclops swinging back and forth from distrusting to outright hating the Phoenix force it was truly Iron Man who was acting out of character.

To be fair Cyclops main beef with the Phoenix was the threat it represented to his wife, that threat no longer being an issue by AvX. Beast had previously been shown happy to work with his genocidal twin if it meant a chance at reversing the Mutant extinction, Cyclops willingness to work with the Phoenix is hardly any nuttier.

The most out of character actions were really Cap blindly allowing himself to be manipulated into antagonizing rather than working with the world's only Phoneix experts by Logan even after he realized that the latter's real plan all along was to murder a teenager (again).

No, Iron Man making a snap decision, deciding he's right, ignoring any contrary opinions, and acting on his snap decision to disasterous result is entirely in character.

It was still his fault.

And the idea that Cyclops would go "Oh thank god, there are 6 more mutants than there were a year ago. Best to let nature take it's course, so that on my deathbed we may have as many as one thousand mutants!" is kind of weird.

Yes. The only possible alternative is the What If? story. There are only two possibilities to any continuity turning point, the one we see, and the one in a What If?. Naturally.

The What if..? in no way supports my argument that Cyclops was written out of character and Hope's storyline was scrapped to facilitate AvX happening. Or is this supposed to be about which character is right? Cyclops was right, he was written to be.

and I'll die if
I want to
So reading Wolverine and the Xmen, the first run, and holy crap this is good. Though now I'm going to have to track down the Schism stuff so i know how Scott and Logans falling out happened.

I feel bad because the idea of Rogue teaching grammer and diction makes me laugh too much. Gambit teaching Sex Ed is kinda creepy though.

How is Uncanny X-force? I'm curious how Logans murder squad went. Also, The panels from when Deathlok sees Evan, those were reused in the current right, right?

The UK arc had spotty storytelling mixed in with some of the worst art I've ever seen. You can't tell what's going on most of the time. Everything else in that run is pretty gold, though.

However, do not touch the follow up with Storm as the leader. It's atrocious. I really liked the other X-Force title, Cable and X-Force, but it's 90's as hell.

Wolverine is gonna die, Soule is writing

Oh hey I was just posting this. Kinda surprsied that it's Soule doing it. I guess maybe Cornell is finishing up with the book soon?

quote:

Marvel has been teasing a radical new development in Wolverine’s history with this summer’s story arc, “3 Months to Die,” which robs Wolverine of his healing factor, the mutant power that has kept him alive and kicking through decades of fatal injuries. Now, EW is excited to announce exclusively that “3 Months to Die” will culminate in a 4-part miniseries in September called, simply, Death of Wolverine. Written by Charles Soule and drawn by Steve McNiven, Death of Wolverine #1 hits on September 3 (that’s the cover image above.) The next three issues of the series will follow every week ensuing, climaxing with Death of Wolverine #4 on September 24.

Michael Marts, an executive editor at Marvel overseeing the project, explains that the idea to kill off one of the most iconic characters in comic books emerged out of Marvel’s semi-annual creative retreat, when Marvel writers and editors come together to discuss major projects. “For a long time, no matter who Wolverine was battling, he’s been the eternal victor,” says Marts. “He almost always comes out on top. Now he finally comes up against an adversary that he cannot win against, he cannot fight. What does that mean for this character who’s been around for hundred years?”

I'm surprised that no one told you to buy this comic right away. It's probably the best run of anything X-Men released recently. Just so long you go for the Remender run, not that 16-or-so issue series that just finished with a yawn.

Why? Cornell's run has been boring. You know that at the end their will be some twist that will bring him back. There is no way that Wolverine will be dead for longer than 6 months. It will be Fear Itself all over again.

Eh, Fear Itself wasn't hyped as the death of Thor & Bucky was it? I bet this will last at least as long as Cap's death did (or until the next Fox movie, whichever comes first). The bigger question is who's gonna be surrogate Wolverine?

Bookwise it will no doubt be X-23 or someone like that taking over Wolverine spot for a while. Though I'd be alright without someone new running around in a Wolverine costume with fake claws.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wolverine and the X-Men becomes Nightcrawler and the X-Men or just gets renamed to something similar.

Isn't Amazing X-Men the Nightcrawler book so to speak? Not that he couldn't have two if Wolverine has like 10, but maybe it would be "Storm And The X-Men", since she's the headmaster. They've been building up her importance to the school, and the last issue had Wolverine begging her to save the school/kidpocalypse.

Amazing X-Men has 2 Nightcrawler arcs and then is going to go off and be its own thing again, I believe.

There is the actual Nightcrawl book by Claremont, too.

What's an X-Men title they haven't used in a while? Maybe WatXM will get the Young X-Men title.

Yeah I would have gone with Storm and the X-Men but I don't think that's a title Marvel would put out but Nightcrawler having a solo book, a team book and taking another would make him a perfect Wolverine replacement :v:
