I guess the price to pay for Laura not getting her development erased by a new writer is the Cuckoos getting their characters obliterated instead.

I never liked Wolverine as a name for her because everyone in the books kept telling her that she was "the Wolverine". Like they were trying to convince me, the reader, of it.

For the upcoming reboot, I'd like to see:

- More soap opera character work stuff. But like, well executed this time, instead of being a thin echo of Claremont. Guggenheim's attempts at this were charmless and clunky. I'd like to see someone who could do it well.
- A smaller team. So many ensemble cast team books are absolutely stifled in decompressed comics - without thought bubbles and narration boxes, you really don't have the room to give like, seven or eight characters each a moment every issue. Give me like five characters and really focus on making them interesting and giving them personal stories.

Also let Rachel and Kitty get together, or explicitly state that Storm is bisexual, or something, I just wanna see some gay stuff. Even having Mystique cameo to say, oh, by the way, Destiny was my life partner and we were in love would be cool.

X-23 is choppy, rhythmically-speaking: "eks" is close to a full-stop and with the close pair of "T"s in 20, you get a staccato meter that just takes more work and is less pleasant than a world with a lot of soft, open sounds like "Wolverine."

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Sauron explicitly names himself after the big bad in The Lord of the Rings because he was just reading those books and thought they were cool.

Uhh, am I following that thread right? It just starts out with a battle wrapping up then Wolverine immediately trying to spank a teenage Kitty Pryde? I mean, it's a great idea for a project to throw up on the internet but holy poo poo get someone else to write it for you please.

Magneto feels like one of the few characters Claremont could still write well, but then a few years ago I'd have said the same thing about Nightcrawler.

Pretty much. I hope he tries to make money off it because Disney crushing him would be an excellent cap to his career.

Yeah. And he also rather promptly whizzes any goodwill he might have had by dicking around in the Savage Land for what feels like a lifetime.

Yes but he was actually being paid to do that by the company that owns the characters.

I've never read The Hidden Years, but wasn't that just a bunch of stories that were intended to take place during the hiatus of the X-Men comic? This is intended to replace comics that were published.
