That ridiculous scene in Gold where he gets beaten to "death" by a mob of fearful New Yorkers who think he's a demon (and for some reason doesn't teleport away) and then is angstily like, "Heaven will not accept me...I cannot die..." is just the blurst.

Nessus posted:Hasn't he been on TV? It's during the Secret Empire crossover where New York is in the Darkforce Dimension and so is actually full of real demons. It still feels like an ancient story beat, and the fact that he doesn't just teleport away from the mob of unarmed and unpowered humans makes it feel even cheaper.

I'd actually read the hell out of an X-Men book where they're specifically the sort of "local superheroes" you sometimes see in the real world. This issue, young Jean Grey spends the evening walking college students home from the clubs after midnight! Thrill as Rockslide helps an old woman with her groceries!

That's part of why I loved the latest Ms Marvel two-parter - it's not a fight against some dumb villain, it's not stopping a bomb going off that will tear open a rift in space-time and swallow New Jersey, it's just two brave kids teaming up to stop a runaway train. More of that please.

Yeah, it says a lot about who writes books especially comics that I've never seen anyone betray the real Millennial experience, according to me: working really really hard to make next to nothing at a lovely job while every single benefit that your previous generation enjoyed is slowly taking away from you and locked off because of greed until you're 24 without a kid or a house or a car and feel lucky that at least you're not working part time on minimum wage as you contemplate how to spend your 20K a year without losing your apartment.

The Champions are all pretty solidly part of the post-millennial generation. I think most "name" characters in the actual millennial age range now were created before the real world millennials were born.

Larua's probably a twentysomething at this point. But maybe being a wolverine clone throws that all off?

Post-millenials, if you're the kind of old who cares about the distinction, were born in the mid-90's and into the aughts, so Laura could fit. Most Marvel characters nowadays are technically millenials in their twenties and thirties despite being created as adults in the 60's and 70's, so with sliding timescales it's really all moot anyways. In a decade or so I'm sure we'll see Tony Stark just casually mention getting cyberbullied in elementary school

At this point, I think Corsair was born after X-Men #1, and kidnapped by the Shi'ar about a decade or so after the comic flashing back to that abduction was published.

There's a trailer for Return of Jean Grey on Marvels youtube channel, and its kinda interesting, in that a big part of it will be that so much has changed since Jean as died for the most recent time that her dealing with it will be a major part. Though not really, because Logan isn't dead anymore.

Why the hell do I care so much. You'll probably have to wait until X-Men: Red. I'm on episode 75 of Rachel and Miles Xplain the X-Men, and it's helped me rekindle my love for Marvel's merry mutants. I recently picked up the Mojoverse Annual and the issues of New Mutants with the Beyonder. I really want a tablet, so I can just read everything on the cheap.

Cable got a new artist starting with the Legacy renumbering and I can't stand their art.  Scribbly feet, bad proportions, lack of depth, incorrect foreshortening and perspective, etc. I think they're intentionally trying to ape 90s Liefeld artwork and that's terrible. The new storyline isn't anything to write home about either. I really wish Cable would get a chance to go solo instead of being saddled with members of X-Force all the time.

The X-Line in general has such lovely art and it's really undermining the writing, which is pretty decent. There are a ton of character moments this week that are clearly supposed to have body language involved in the storytelling and there's just gently caress-all on the page. Cable's art is loving atrocious, there's a certain brief pleasure in seeing Cable drawn in an inept, Liefeld knockoff style but that gets old immediately. Astonishing and Wolverine have good art at least, and Jean Grey and Iceman are fine, but christ how far the X-side has fallen in terms of art.

All-New Wolverine was huge this week, continuing what is shaping up to be a big, big arc for Laura and Daken. Fantastic drama, and Juann Cabal is clearly having fun with his background touches in his issues. The 5 framed cat pictures in a dramatic fight panel were great. As much as I enjoyed ANW, Gen X managed to steal the show for me with the lovely gay little mutants: Bling! and Mercury being a thing makes me so happy and Nathaniel and Benjamin are just so cute. I'm loving Jubilee and Chamber too, as well as Lin Li and Trevor's aloofness/awkwardness, plus Mplate continues to be really creepy. Christina Strain is writing the hell out of the book, and the creative team are backing her up with aplomb. Even Quentin is getting some tough love and emotions, which Strain goes into here with a really interesting take on him: https://www.cbr.com/generation-x-classic-characters-marvel-legacy-christina-strain-interview/

"Lol oh yeah I've been impersonating Xavier since like Uncanny 280 dudes. Also I can't believe you bought that bullshit about Deadly Genesis, I totally conned you into that and hey check it out, everyone who can prove otherwise is dead. Anyway here's Xavier in the astral plane, he's actually getting on my nerves so I I dunno I'll just let him share Fantomex's brain or something. All right, later." would sure fix a lot for me, personally.

It's still kind of finding its feet I think, but in a way that works, since the characters are all finding their feet too. If nothing else it's got a shitload of charm and a really good lineup. The art has been the weak point, ranging from the pretty-bad to the really-bad, but I think the writing and the characters overcome that enough to recommend it.
