It's A-Force. All female Avengers team. http://mashable.com/2015/02/06/marvel-female-avengers-a-force/ I was hoping for her on a legacy book personally.

At least Aurora and Scarlet Witch will finally have someone to talk about what it's like to go absolutely crazy and have your twin brother desperately trying to bring you back. Seriously, though, Aurora?

Aurora is an example of someone who is sort of flat and only a foil to her much more developed male counterpart, so I could see the appeal of taking that character and trying to flesh her out some.

I wonder if there's an in universe reason for an all female team.

Do you really need a reason? Maybe it just panned out that way when they were doing team selection or whatever in universe reason they team up. lord knows we've had all or all-but-one male comic book teams without a justification before.

You need to hide the pandering a little bit. Deadpool has a point though. A team that forms through the Secret Wars event and sticks together would make sense.

Actually, this article that was linked in another thread but maybe not this one mentions a post Secret Wars world called Arcadia that Wilson describes as "this feminist paradise" so maybe that ends up being one of the Battleworld continents or a post Secret Wars universe or something, I don't fuckin know. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2015/02/06/marvel-comics-a-force-female-avengers/22970157/

Decius posted:Fortunately Dazzler is back from the stupid Goth-detour Bendis put her on. The most disheartening possibility of this being Secret Wars centric is that it's alternate an Dazzler on the cover and our Dazzler is still somewhere crawling in her skin with wounds that will not heal.

I said this on my FB but I'll repeat it here; I don't hate Bendis as much as the rest of BSS, but his reinvention of Dazzler is both baffling and pointless. Has he done anything with it at all? Maybe if she and Magneto teamed up and hosed poo poo up and were super angsty goth about the whole thing driving around listening to Unknown Pleasures and Floodland it would have worked out. But nope, she's just hanging out with Scott's team not doing much.

I haven't read the newer issues, but I thought the whole Dazzler thing was "Mystique tortured me and that sucked, but now I'm back to being Dazzler again"? I'm sure I remember her showing up in her old disco outfit.

You may be thinking of her semi-recent appearance in Deadpool, but that was because Deadpool was time-traveling and grabbed her from her disco days.

I could totally accept it as "Dazzler is going through some poo poo" except yeah, she hasn't actually done anything since changing her appearance. So it's been pretty pointless so far... and at this rate there won't be time to do anything with it by the time Bendis gives up the X-Men.

No one has to be fair, because this insufferable Uncanny story seems to have dragged on for an Old Testament lifetime as if someone made a bet with Bendis to see how long he could eke out absolutely gently caress all for.

I think if they want an all female team to appeal to female readers, they could start by hiring artists who can draw more than one woman. Look at that cover. It's twenty women with different hair and costumes and all the exact same figure, same d-cup boobs, and same generic face.

I can't say I've overly enjoyed this last arc of X-Force, but that was a good last couple pages. It's not.. over, is it?

Yeah the pacing is pretty terrible, but I generally like the character interactions which makes up for some of Uncanny's faults.

Kitty Pryde really can't last with a guy for like more than a month can she? EVERY disagreement she has with a guy is grounds to break up with him. It's infuriating because I know someone EXACTLY like that.

Miles and Jean should totes be best buds when he finally ends up on 616, and maybe it's good thing he's going there too because at this rate there won't be anyone left on Ultimate Earth who hasn't seen his face, he's unmasked more than a movie actor playing Spider-Man even. Also, Bobby's constant dissing of Bobby was great.

Bobby was the only Kitty pairing I've liked (there was something sweet when I was a kid too about the Peter/Kitty thing before I understood the creepiness of it).

I'm sad that X-Force is finished, it was a really fun ride while it lasted. I loved those last few pages. Hope is really awesome, I like how Spurrier writes her.

Speaking of X-Force stuff, whatever happened to Spiral? I only read the first few issues of Humphries's Uncanny X-Force. (I swear I've asked the same question before in this thread, but my X-Men Children of the Atom nostalgia is kicking in the most inopportune moment)

Schneider Heim posted:I only read the first few issues of Humphries's Uncanny X-Force. And you're better for it. To answer your question though, I think she just kinda disappeared after the crossover that wrapped up both that volume of Uncanny X-Force and Cable & X-Force. The same way Puck and Boom Boom just disappeared, or Forge quit Cable's team without any explanation.
