Non-consensual age play is a big Claremont thing. Warlock's choices of things he transforms into will never not be awesome. He turns himself into Hagar the Horrible when they are having the audience with Loki.

I'm reading through Uncanny X-Force (which has been amazing) and can someone give a quick primer on Otherworld? I know nothing about it/the Braddocks/Meggan/etc...

If I remember correctly, that's something Alan Moore introduced via his old Captain Britain run. It's probably faster to just do this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalon_%28Marvel_Comics%29

Well, I'm glad to see that it's considered the low point, because I was reading last night and thinking "This is not very good compared to the earlier arcs and the art is almost incomprehensible..."

Meggan's the wife of our Earth's Captain Britain. Brian has two siblings: Betsy and Jamie, the latter a madman with reality distortion powers if I recall correctly. Otherworld is basically a fantasy land and a nexus of all realities that have a Captain Britain. The mythos themselves are interesting on their own. I recommend picking a modern take on Captain Britain like Captain Britain and the MI13 by Paul Cornell. It's really good. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jun 3, 2015 |

Even as someone who likes Otherworld, I was underwhelmed by that arc.

I think that Alan Moore / Alan Davis run on Captain Britain might actually be my favourite Alan Moore comic. Miracleman nearly edges it out (it's certainly a much more innovative comic) but Captain Britain is the one I most enjoy reading.

So, yea I enjoyed that issue, but holy crap, the plot moved about a micrometer. if 600 is Bendis's last issue, it better be panel after panel of plot lines wrapping up. Also, great time to introduce a whole new bunch of characters. So something I had a problem with was reconciling timid, religious and kind Rhaine Sinclair from New Mutants to the one that was part of Wolverines kill everyone X-force.

Uncanny X-Men is the the other half of the All New story. Adjectiveless X-Men is unrelated.

bobkatt013 posted:Read Wolverine and the X-men volume 1. Do that, then read Spider-Man & the X-Men. Nothing happened in between. There was no other comic.  But yeah, if you're liking All-New, Uncanny ties in really closely with it. It also doesn't read as badly if you take it all in one go than if you're waiting month-to-month.  The pacing's still weird but tolerable.

Pure speculation: I have a pet theory that cosmic-powered 616 Kitty Pryde lost her memory in the Incursions and is in A-Force as Singularity, who will eventually become the post-battleworld new version of Eternity. This is based on very little actual evidence besides that her cosmic form bears a lot of resemblance to both those characters, she hasn't shown up anywhere else in Battleworld (though admittedly everyone else is dead and she wasn't even in the first issue when they weren't yet,) and also we know that there's a mini with Star Lord looking for her (probably) so unless the conclusion of that is 'turns out she's dead welp' we can assume she's somewhere. This also means that 1610 Kitty can get merged with the rest of the X-men and live on whatever planet they're going to end up on after secret wars without any weird overlap. It's a way to have cake and eat it too.

Bleeding Cool is reporting Jeff Lemire as the new X writer after Secret Wars and Bendis. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/06/11/jeff-lemire-the-new-x-men-writer/ I can get behind this. I mean, they were never going to put Huckman on it, and Sweet Tooth was lovely, and his I enjoyed his take on Animal Man.

He also had a really good run on Green Arrow. This is probably the best you are gonna get, and Hickman would have been an awful choice for X-men.

krakagar posted:Bleeding Cool is reporting Jeff Lemire as the new X writer after Secret Wars and Bendis. Holy poo poo, I'm so excited for this.  I've never really read him on a team book before, I don't think? But dude makes some awesome comics. Sweet Tooth is a perennial favorite of mine, and Descender's turning out great. poo poo, Trillium was gorgeous, too. I hope this is true. My ideal world would have him drawing, too, but Marvel'd never go for it. Doubt he has the time, either, with how much he's writing these days.

Hickman's not doing anything big after Secret Wars anyway. I found Lemire's JLU dialogue to be a bit too wordy and wooden feeling, but to be fair they were early, establishing issues and I haven't been keeping up to see if that changed or anything.

Didn't Hickman say he was focusing on his creator-owned stuff for a bit after Secret Wars?

Hickman said he was taking a break after Secret Wars to recover and when he does come back to Marvel it will be to do a smaller project.

He's kind of a one trick pony. I tried to enjoy All New Hawkeye, but couldn't. It just felt like Sweet Tooth with super heroes. And that just had two main characters with a basic concept. He's most likely not a good fit for X-Men. But at least one can take the consolation he won't pull a "everyone does what I say" across the line, which would make it impossible for any other writer to do good stories.

It's actually both, with the Eternals and Deviants of the Grid working to overthrow the tyrannical artificial intelligence Ultron. Marvel Comics and Disney present... ulTRON: Legacy.
