I really liked Magneto this week, but I just realized that at the death camp, he identifies the corpses as "mutants and inhumans". Besides that one issue of Uncanny X Men and Ms Marvel, is this one of the few references to the inhumans? I thought Marvel failed to make the inhumans a thing, but I liked that somehow Magneto could identify

I read it as a matter of volume. Mutants are being born again, but are still relatively rare, and Inhumans are way more common than they used to be, so chances are that big pile of corpses has a little of each.

As in, since Marvel was trying to push Inhumans as the new "thing" instead of mutants and then it just went away, save for Ms Marvel, it was weird that they were included with the mutants in the death camp (even as just corpses)

I mean, Marvel's still trying to make Inhumans the new "thing" (even if they're not in a bunch of tie-in books), and it only makes sense they'd be there. I mean, Red Skull's a fuckin' Nazi and Inhuman is probably an impure gene to him.

Inhumans have awoken within the general population, so they might as well be interchangeable from mutants at this point. Generally the rule of thumb is that Inhumans have more abstract powers and are typically more "inhuman" than mutants, though obviously there are exceptions.

irlZaphod posted:I believe so, yeah... I'm pretty sure someone posted as much in the General Marvel thread? I think the last issue is November (#12 I guess). It's a shame because it really was a pretty fun book. I have a feeling that New Warriors are going to become the new Dr. Strange, as insomething that keeps getting pitched that readers just don't care about that much. Despite a pretty good 90s series, the relaunches have been pretty bad. You had a reality show and whatever you want to call the Bandit-led ex-mutants team. This last series was the closest any of the remakes have been to the original series, but it's hamstrung by a calcified fanbase that buys books out of habit instead of any real quality. It's also weird in that it tried to be a teen book but didn't really work out that way. Ms Marvel is a much better teen book at the moment, which really shows the way things have shifted in the last 20 years. It really comes down to the idea that a good teen book is written to be compelling to teenagers, not the 30 year olds that are the core of the current comic audience.

The only reason I've been tempted to read New Warriors is to see what happens with Scarlet Spider . And now they're cancelling that too, poor Caine  .

If Yost is on Amazing he should bring Scarlet to the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Him and Spider-man working their would be great.

I didn't like New Warriors until the 00s when they stopped trying to take Night Thrasher seriously. Also I didn't know New Warriors was back. As for Inhuman vs mutant, I know Earth X is pretty far from cannon, but didn't the "Inhumans just had their X gene activated by terrigen mist instead of 'naturally'" make it into the main cannon during the fallout of No More Mutants?

No, the mists transformed every human on the planet into an Inhuman there actually were very few mutants left when Reed started looking for somebody with Cerebro. I think the mists used to just change people you didn't have to be an Inhuman by birth.

I love the Earth X trilogy, and I realize that makes me a bad person. That said, in the books, if I'm not mistaken, all humans(except the various tribes of bestial humans, like Wolverine(Moon Clan), and Sabertooth(Bear Tribe)), possessed the Celestial seed. Mutants were humans whose seed germinated naturally, everyone else had the potential, but needed some sort of trigger to activate, radioactive spiders, cosmic rays, that whole thing. Terrigenesis was just an on demand trigger developed by the Kree.

This month's All New X-Factor is pretty great if you're on the fence about it. It's one of those issues where they (try) to have some downtime and just explore a part of the group, with a girl's day at the Ren fair. Danger being socially retarded is awesome.

Ugh I actually preferred Wanda when Bendis crazieafied her, at least she had some agency, all she does in UA is stumble from being the macguffin for one Supervillain's evil scheme to another Supervillain's evil scheme all the while haughtily (and endlessly) repeating her silly retcon.

Night Thrasher was pretty well done when they got away from "black kid on a skateboard" and made him more "Batman who is getting/got screwed over by an evil Alfred". Luckily, that was basically all his appearances in New Warriors vol. 1, though mostly just the first 25 issues when he led the original team. I think the only time the stupid skateboard stuff was shown was in the Thor issue by DeFalco. I've just finished rereading that first run from when I was a kid, and it's surprisingly good for an early 90s comics. quote:As for Inhuman vs mutant, I know Earth X is pretty far from cannon, but didn't the "Inhumans just had their X gene activated by terrigen mist instead of 'naturally'" make it into the main cannon during the fallout of No More Mutants? The only thing that's been brought over from Earth X is the celestial seed thing IIRC. Quicksilver gave people terrigen to reawaken their powers, but it never worked properly, which suggests to me Inhumans are supposed to be something else entirely.

How many god drat issues can Bendis stretch these stories into? I mean at least ANXM had some cool Ultimate stuff. But how many times is Bendis going to repeat the "RARGH! I'm pissed at Cyclops!" rant Iceman has been having since the first issue?

Was the last time we saw Exodus he was in the X-Men's Utopia jail? He's clearly not there any more since Danger was controlled by Unit/no one is at Utopia, but how does that lead to him working for S.H.I.E.L.D.? Has he ever done anything other than Brotherhood stuff before? I'm just curious, I really don't know much about him. Also for New Mutants fans, big life update to Cannonball in today's Avengers, and the Sunspot/Cannonball moments were fun, as they always are in Avengers.

Since when can the Cuckoos go Diamond-mode? I mean, it makes sense that they can, but I don't think we ever saw them discover it. My guess is Bendis assumed they can because Emma can? And man, talk about your egregious stretching out of a story. That double-page spread with the skeletons? In no universe did that need to take up two pages. So in Uncanny we got 1)Bobby is still pissed. Shut the hell up, Bobby. 2)SHIELD has noticed Matthew Malloy. 3)Triage realizes that his X-team's situation is kinda hosed up. 4)The X-Men fly in their plane and Beast tells them that for real this is the scariest potential enemy ever.
