Your wrong  In fairness, while I'm not a fan of ANH I do have to admit it's still miles above Extraordinary X-Men. Like I could still see ANH growing on me while EXM can't really be salvaged other than just changing writers. Also, regarding last week's All New Wolverine, I like how Laura and Bellona's plan relied on both of them wearing very long wigs over their very long hair and just hoping the wigs didn't fall off during all the jumping around, explosions, getting shot, etc. Like I'm not complaining about realism in my comicbook about the teenage clone of a 100 year old Canadian with claws and her sister-clones, but without comics logic that would have been a ridiculously stupid plan  .

Healing factors shouldn't affect your hair. Unless it also means you permanently drag queen nails on your hand.

It's funny with Logan, because his hair is funny, with Laura it's kinda sad, because it's a very average haircut, and maybe she doesn't want bangs.

Unless it also means you permanently drag queen nails on your hand. Yeah as Blockhouse mentioned, there are a few scenes of Laura getting burned/blown up badly enough to totally get rid of her hair and it regrows to the same length it always is within a few seconds. All of the healing factor characters basically have an optimal hair length the healing factor decided should be their natural length at all times.

That's how Saiyan hair works. Hmm...that explains why their healing factor keeps getting more and more ridiculous over time, every near death injury makes them stronger.

So, a thing I just learned: Chris Claremont is the one ultimately responsible for that time Cyclops convinced a bunch of Sentinels to fight the sun.

Yea, and how he origonally intended that it be Gambit and Kitty. Also the love of Kitty's life is not Colossus, or Bobby, or even Illyana its Rachael The most recent Jay and Miles X-plain the X-men has a fantastic interview with Claremont.

Everyone who likes X-Men should listen to it.

Now with a hundred episodes behind them there's a lot of content. Only dud i'd say is the one with a guy who worked on X-men Evolution before it went to air. They want to talk about a bunch of stuff in the show, and he seems to want to pass credit for everything onto other people. Ann Nocenti is pretty amusing in her episode. They also interview G Willow Wilson. Oh and the episode where they play the old X-men RPG game is brilliant, as Miles plays Rogue and its beyond perfect.

I haven't listened to the Claremont interview one yet. I will have to do so. What's the general tone of it? My one criticism of the podcast (whether it's fair or not) is that they've always seemed like they're a bit too much in awe of Claremont as a writer. Do they ask him about Storm: The Arena?

Yeah, mostly they just let Claremont talk, and Claremont's getting on in years, so he's prone to long pauses.twistedmentat posted:From what is said, it sounds like its more obvious in Excalibur than anything else. Though I honestly want to know why they have such subtext with her and Illyana. Claremont's generally a subtext engine, but the general thing people tend to point to is that any time Illyana was off the board for whatever reason, her soulsword and armor went to Kitty. It's easy to characterize literal soul ownership as more of a romantic than a platonic thing. CharlestheHammer posted:Also his reasoning for why was a little confusing. For Kitty/Rachel? I could kind of see where he was going with that, from back in the day on Excalibur, but Claremont sounded downright tranquilized throughout most of the podcast.

I haven't read Excalibur for a while but I was probably too naive to get the subtext, seems like a reason to go back and read it. I seem to remember at some point they were connecting Rachel and Nightcrawler but then backed off it, but this was well past the storylines that Claremont established and Alan Davis rolled with (where Nightcrawler would've been too obsessed with Meggan to bother with anyone else)

Well, I must give it a listen in any case. It's a pretty big coup for them, isn't it? I know they've had a number of fairly big names on before (Busiek is probably the biggest, but they've also had the aforementioned G. Willow Wilson and Dennis Hopeless among others) but I think where X-Men is concerned getting Claremont on is a bigger deal in some ways than getting Stan Lee would be.

While I've been giving Extraordinary X-men a pass because it's hey X-men, plus its got Wolverine on a team and the only book with Magik in it, but this issue is, not bad at all. Moon Knight Horsemen too. Also, like that Illyana they're keeping that Strange and Illyana are friends, and that she's embracing her magical abilities as much as her mutant abilities. All New X-men, making Blob and Toad into legitimate threats. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Mar 17, 2016 |

Huh. Finally caught up to Extraordinary and it's...not that bad? I mean, I can totally see people getting bored with it and peacing out, but I'd been expecting a much bigger disaster from all the horror stories I'd been hearing. It's mostly just aimless, but if you really like the characters then it's not the worst thing to read. (All-New is much, much better though)

You know, another thing I learned from Jay & Miles is that there's a team of clone X-Men (specifically Cyclops, Kitty Pryde, Nightcrawler, Storm, & Wolverine) tooling around in outer space, that have never appeared again. Someone should totally do something with that.
