Is Axis worth reading? I enjoyed Superior Ironman and the Carnage and Hobgoblin minis and just did a reread of Ewing's Mighty Avengers which made me curious about it.

Most people would probably say no but I think it's a fun throwaway story. Most of it besides Havok and Sabretooth has either been undone or forgotten about.

BrianWilly posted:Is it just me or is the whole approach of "let's shuffle the 100+ characters from the X-universe around willy nilly onto like five books with different colors and adjectives on the title once and a while and call it reinvigorating the franchise" approach to these series not really working anymore? I'm getting rather tired of team books not being able to maintain a consistent roster for more than 5 issues.

That's it for Soule's X-Men? I assumed the comic was gonna have all sorts of quick adventures to pair with the rotating artists, but it just stayed in that one London story for an eternity.

Yeah it wasn’t particularly great (but not bad) and it’s ending with a Greg Land issue which is Garbo

Three beefy guys and two blasty guys is not a balanced adventuring group!!!!!!

He tried taking a couple levels of Paladin when he was being all Moral Conscience Of The Team but then everyone remembered the time he nuked an underground HYDRA city and he promptly fell It's a shame, he was only a few levels away from getting that sweet Summon Warhorse power

I've been firmly in favor in just replacing the current X-men with the younger ones, with the exception of Iceman.

Until Jean came back, Beast and Iceman were the only doubles left. So what you really mean is you want to replace Beast. Good call.

My thing about Jean and Scott were that they were prisoners of story, and they could never move beyond being a couple and such, but using the younger ones lets them have stories beyond that.

Teen Jean technically died (again, fulfilling her destiny as most death-prone X-Man) two issues ago in Venom, though for people who didn't read Venomverse it was soft-balled in over the course of the last issue with the kids freaking out once it sunk in their friend had been digested by a symbiote-hunting monster from another dimension, and the backup of the latest X-Men Blue has Danger create a holo-Jean to help Scott cope. Of course she's obviously going to be fine in time for eXtinction ( )

So was Professor X ever actually in the astral plane? Was it Shadow King fighting himself or just a really elaborate charade to trick the x-men?

Stop trying to make Post-Credits scenes in comics happen, Marvel: https://news.marvel.com/comics/88824/exterminate-the-past-eliminate-the-future/ Not really feeling Extermination based on Brisson and yet another dystopian future X-struggle storyline either. All-New Wolverine's nigh-utopian future in the final arc has been such a fun change of pace.

I mean, "post-credits scenes" kinda just sounds like a silly way to say "backup story."

Marvel's comic "post credit scenes" are just a page at the end of the book. It's dumb.

Rhyno posted:Marvel's comic "post credit scenes" are just a page at the end of the book. It's dumb. The first post-credits scene I can remember for the MCU was probably 15-25 seconds long. It was Nick Fury saying something along the lines of "Tell me... What do you know about the Avengers initiative?" I think a one page teaser is about on par with that - providing it's a good page.

So Storm is just going to be using that hammer, isn't she? I guess it kind of makes sense since both of the Thor's lost their hammers and there's an open title now for God of Thunder. I think.
