Yeah but he'll probably be back when that James Franco comes out. e: Okay this was supposed to say "when that James Franco film comes out" but clearly Freudian something something BrianWilly fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Dec 8, 2017 |

Jubilee should always be a vampire forever. Also in Hellcat.

I love that it's the easiest death to walk back ever, in a universe where death is walked back all the time, and nobody's done it yet because gently caress you, nobody gets to use Madrox again unless they got a drat good reason to.

Of the X-books this year, I think I enjoyed Astonishing the best. Though, in light of the Jim Shooter interview, I agree that it could have been told in half the issues. Gold and blue were a bit ehh to me. Mojo felt like the absolute nadir* of both series, and did no one any favors. G-X was fun, but god that art. On the topic of X-relationships, I will forever support Kitty/Colossus, so that was nice to see. I'm also glad that every team has it's own Wolverine now(/s). *Arguably, the Magikal Beast arc was bad too, but nothing tops that lovely epilogue in Mojo where young Scott shits on old Scott again. We get it Marvel writers, we're supposed to think Cyclops was Herr Tog posted:Is the art 90's bad and is Jubilee still a vampire? Generation X's art is(was) MSPaint bad. That's not so much a knock at the anatomy(bad though it may be), but a knock at the coloring/inking that makes everything look cheap and overly digital, if that makes any sense. It's one of my favorite examples of cover vs insert art. cover:  issue 1:  issue 8:

I dropped Generation X after a while. It felt directionless, and I don't like Quentin Quire. Of this year's new X-books: X-Men: Gold I dropped. Rachel/Nightcrawler weirded me out a bit, and I've already forgotten the plots to every arc past the first. X-Men: Blue I'm still checking out. It's not amazing, but I enjoy the weird directions they're taking the characters in. Jean Grey and Weapon X I read an issue of each, but that was probably a mistake. I'd like Astonishing more if the art was consistent. The first arc of Cable was fun, and what I always wanted from Cable. And then Ed Brisson took over and it started being garbage. Iceman has been the big surprise for me of the relaunch for X-Men. The characterization is genuinely great, and how it handles the troubles of a gay man's relationship to his homophobic parents is actually well done.

Agreed so much here though. That book had the strongest launch of all the new x-books and it fell off for us so goddamned hard. Every single preorder has dropped it since Legacy began.

Newer Mutants has been such a bummer of a storyline.

Ed Brisson's Old Man Logan is also bad but I would put more of the blame there on Mike Deodato who I'm pretty sure just does not give a gently caress anymore.

Well, Ed Brisson's Iron First is also not that great. So I'm pretty sure Ed Brisson's just not a good writer.

I get that there are people who don't like Quire, but I'll never understand why.

He's Damian Wayne; a mean lil' poo poo putting on an rear end in a top hat shell to protect himself, except that unlike Damian, underneath that rear end in a top hat shell he's just a bigger rear end in a top hat. And this is technically an improvement from the days when he was a pretentious anarchist. BrianWilly fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Dec 10, 2017 |

I've loved Quire ever since the Siege Perilous spat him back out.

Quentin Quire is what an old out of touch man thinks a rebellious teenager is. He should be in Champions.

I haven't read Riot at Xavier's since before Wolverine and the X-Men. Same with Assault on Weapon Plus and Remender's X-Force.

Astonishing was the best but felt really decompressed, yeah. I dropped Gold after a while, it started out wobbly and just descended into being awful I feel like. I couldn't get into Blue.

Jean Grey is pretty solid, and I'm sorry its going. Blue and Gold borrowing a lot from old school xmen probably helped me get through it and forgive it.

The only X-book I have dropped completely is Old Man Logan because I'm sick to death of Logan and I hate the way OML supplanted Laura, the best Wolverine. Part of my unwavering dedication to some extremely marginal/bad X-books is that I've read the entire franchise and I'm just committed to it now.

I liked the whole of Lemire's OML but losing Sorrentino really hurt the book as the artists they got in after he moved onto Secret Empire were not as good.

There's some really good stuff in Lemire's OML but the Last Ronin and especially that final arc were just awful. Well, it's been a whole two years since Wolverine's had a "greatest hits"-themed story arc, time to do another one. OML vs Brood and vampires was good stuff, though.

Bought my friend the two parts of Asgard Wars, and the X-Men/Teen Titans one shot for his birthday. Dude has read a lot of X books from the last few decades, but the original Claremont stuff he hasn't really experienced.

It'd not Claremont quite yet, but I still adore Giant-Size X-Men #1. One of the first "retro" comics I ever read.

Remember when they retconned it so Xavier sent EVEN ANOTHER team there before, never mentioned it, and they all got sent into space when they threw the island into space? Something he knew they were going to do and never mentioned? Dooming all of them to what should have been death? One of them being Cyclops' long lost brother that he never told Scott was still alive?Thus making Xavier a HUGE PRICK? Like, Lexington Steel levels?
