I hope Dazzler's midlife crisis doesn't last too long. If it's only one issue and they manage to throw in a Spider-man 3 reference, it'll be genius. While Uncanny moves glacially, Magneto continues to be great as a Mutant-Punisher comic (though I hope Bunn knows he can drop the "my poooowerssss" thing at the nearest logical point 'cause Uncanny establishes that Mags has at least some contact with Cyke's X-Men from time to time) and I still am really enjoying X-Factor. Though I'll be pissed if Gambit gets dropped from the team.

So, Wolverine is spending a couple issues with the new Ms. Marvel. Is he just incapable of staying away from teenage girls, or what? It seems like all he ever does is round up high school females to "mentor."

It's partially the fact that his mentor schtick has been going on since Kitty Pryde, and also a naked attempt to boost sales on a fledgling new character. It's almost tradition that you'll see a Batman/Spider-Man/Wolverine crossover within your first year if you're a new character at Marvel/DC.

HorseRenoir posted:Man, this week's Uncanny X-Men was a big fat load of nothing. Aside from the fact that the hyped-up "groundshaking revelation" doesn't even appear in the issue, that scene of Dazzler turning into a 90's goth chick was so laughably bad. I can practically imagine the nu-metal playing in the background. Looks like someone actually hated the new Dazzler enough to make a live-action music video starring 80s Alison: http://www.nerdist.com/2014/07/marvels-mutant-pop-star-dazzler-gets-a-fan-made-music-video/

I'm kind of amazed at how bad the 100th Anniversary issue was. While the other ones haven't been amazing, I still think it's an amusing concept with promise and a few cool ideas. Even the X-Men issue had a great idea for what the writer thinks X-Men continuity would be like when comics are being written in the 2040's. Mutants are still hated, but not quite as badly, to the point that Scott Summers can get elected president. That's not bad. You can do a lot with this take, especially because it's a non-canon one-shot. So what do they do? Make it into One More Day: X-Men Edition. One More Day was a bad comic that existed because what was canon no longer seemed workable to the guy in charge. It was an editorial decision based on real life misgivings. With a whole reality to play with in a one-shot that doesn't affect anything, the writer decided that this President Summers status quo isn't viable so they have to do a reboot to rubberband everything back the way things used to be with Jean suddenly alive and married to Scott. It's both terrible and at the same time a brilliant meta commentary.

What I liked about the Spider-Man one was it wasn't a #1. I like being dropped into the middle of a story where the situation is totally different than what I'm used to, for something like this at lest. X-Men did this to a degree but it felt like it was setting a ton of poo poo up that obviously is never gonna be followed up on. Also haha at the idea that the kids from the current Uncanny run would be aged up and major characters in 25 years or however long it is til the real 100th anniversary. The end was a huge disappointment. Womp womp, here's the legacy of Jean Grey here to poo poo on presumed years of character development again.

Maybe they will riff on the classic Scott marries Jean comic. Make it a weepie, emotional comic with a happy ending." Well I was right about it being weepie, since what I've heard has made me cry. Only instead of it showing Emma and Scott get a happy ending together, no it's Jean Grey coming back BECAUSE SHE IS THE LOVE! The Spider-Man 100th Anniversary wasn't great, but I overall groked what they were going for in a "you are literally coming into a story 300 issues hence."

Uh,,, I always got the distinct impression that she played up the whole "classy skank" act because it suited her, not because she actually was schtupping everyone in sight. I could be wrong though. And she's totally marriage material for Scott. She's one of the only people who could possibly put up with his Jean-complex and come out the other side with her self-esteem intact.

There's a schlubby, mostly useless new mutant on Scott's team who literally just creates gold balls out of thin air. He's implying that Emma is so slutty she not only slept with him, she used his power for anal play. I'm really not sure where you're getting the whole "Emma is a slut" thing. It's really never been implied in any X-book I've ever read-- she's always been just a bitch who liked to show her tits off.

At the Hellfire Club Emma would use her powers to let people think she was sleeping with them. But it's always been an act. After joining up with the X-Men, she was entirely faithful to Scott until the Phoenix thing, and that wasn't physical. They still have something between them, clearly, like when she got upset about Tempus saying how attractive Scott is. But yeah, her look and attitude is just for show.

Emma a very attractive woman in her what early 30s? Has maybe slept with a half dozen extremely successful and attractive, nigh demi-gods, before the start of her stable long term relationship, this makes her a slut? You guys got some issues.
