So...wait. If they undid Xavier's secret marriage to Mystique, and so their son was never born, that means battle of the Atom never happened, at least not the way it did as shown...so WHY did Kitty defect again? Other than 'Bendis wants all his toys in one box'?

Kitty defected because it had been 2 weeks, time for a new boyfriend.

Having caught up with X-Men up to AvX (yay, only 2-ish more years worth of comics to go) I have two questions: 1) Was there ever any fallout from the "No more Phoenix" thing yet? Because snuffing out a force of the universe sounds like a terrible idea and there should've been repercussions 2) Does Shaw appear anywhere after AvX? Redeemed Shaw looks like a nice idea but I got this sinking feeling that him going off the grid during AvX will result in reappearance as a villain again after some time

Wolverine and the X-Men deals with the Phoenix. And who they believe is the next in line for the powers.

Yeah, Stark got thrown into a Thunderdome place by a bunch of Phoenix-worshipers who sicced Death's Head on him, then got out because the villain of the arc (in disguise) gave him his armor back and then they flew away. IIRC, Galactus then ate the Phoenix-worshipers' planet, as they'd been using a fancy shield to evade his watch, and Galactus don't like when people try to cheat him out of a good lunch.

Okay, here's one thing about very early Claremont that sticks out every time I re-read it (even more than the leprechauns) - his attempt to set up a romantic relationship between Colossus and Storm. Is it weird that I find that the strangest thing about his early years on the book? Looking at it in retrospect, it seems like a kind of off-the-wall pairing and I'm not sure why. Wolfman did something similar very early on in New Teen Titans, actually, which surprised me when I read the first year or so of it recently; everyone knows the famous romantic subplots there are Robin and Starfire and Beast Boy and Terra, but who remembers Kid Flash and Raven?

Me. The original Kid Flash is my favorite Teen Titans character (love that costume), and a old friend of mine was a big Raven fan, so we remembered. It never went anywhere because she was unconsciously manipulating him. She also did something similar to Dick Grayson I think.

Wait, is Bendis so behind that they're releasing All-New X-Men 38 and 39 a month before 37 so they don't gently caress up the flow of Black Vortex? VVVV - Eh, you're probably right. Bendis is pretty notorious for writing way ahead. Brocktoon fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Feb 23, 2015 |

The most recent UXM had a cover that was supposed to be for the next arc because the will story ran long. That's why it has Havok on it when he doesn't appear in the issue.

 I don't know what I like most about this terrible cover, Fang suddenly shooting laser beams out of his fingers for no reason or X-23 inexplicably wearing her X-Force costume

After reading the Kitty Queer essay, I began to wonder, have we actually seen Magik in any kind of relationship? As far as I can remember, no.

Given that she's spent most of her life as a child or a child/part demon I would hope not.

She dies in the mid 90's as a kid from the Legacy virus and is then resurrected as a demon/Darkchylde/whatever the terrible X-Infernus ended up being. I guess you can say she's a teenager now that she's her soul back but still.

That was one of the things that was great about New Mutants is that it didn't get too heavy on the "everyone in the book must be involved in a love triangle/square/hexagon" but I guess also that's because it predated Degrassi and 90210. But that would've really been the most opportune time for Magik to have a love interest if she was gonna have one.

Hey, don't lose hope! Bendis run hasn't ended yet! I'm sure he will find a way to shove in some casual sex between her and some random character, same way he did with X-23. It's not like age stopped him there either.

After seeing some stuff from issue #2 and #3 on the post funny panels thread I'm now catching up with Spider-Man and the X-Men and this is rather fun. Seriously. Who's Elliott Kalan? Has he written anything of note before? e: oh, right, Wikipedia. Head writer for the Daily Show and it shows. You guys should read S&XM if you haven't!

I had to check to see who the writer was after this issue of All New X-Men because it was pretty good. But it was still Bendis, I should have guessed from the "boop". But it was still a solid issue.

It shouldn't be that surprising. Bendis is perfectly capable of writing good comic books-- the problem is that he's not good at events, or even long term plotting if the book's title doesn't have the word "Spider" in it.

It was good but there's just something that feels intrinsically wrong about Emma being all kind, helpful and reassuring to Jean, proper cats and dogs living together mass hysteria stuff.

That did kind of highlight how completely pointless Emma losing her powers has been though. It was a factor in maybe like 2 issues before the Stepfords joined the Xavier school and she was just able to control their Hive Mind whenever she needed it.

It was a bullshit explanation too because Colossaus' powers were working just fine and he was part of the Five as were Namor. Is there a reason Emma's powers aren't working now? Shouldn't the nanomachines be out by now?
