gently caress it, why not, every time something good happens in the X-books they completely abandon it right away anyways.

For a person whose first TPB purchase ever was The Dark Phoenix Saga (the first printing with that wild Sienkewicz cover), this to me looks like the X-Men I first fell in love with.

Eeesh please don't bring Byrne back. It's almost like C.B. Cebulski is a slightly more toned down version of Johns sort of. What has Bryne's work been like these last few years?

What work? *Pause for laughter*

Although seriously, the last thing I know he did is some sort of 'photonovel' Star Trek comic for IDW but I couldn't tell you anything more than it exists.

Did you not see the page of Wolverine grabbing Kitty (who is 13) and spanking her? I don't blame you for not clicking through, though.

You know, this could be the breaking point if somebody tells Byrne to cut it out and he goes into a frenzy about how Wolverine administering corporal punishment to a teenager is crucial to the plot.

I doubt they'd say anything to him, though.

I feel that they are always in contact with the old stars and whenever a new person gets in charge they reach out to people who are pissed at them. Something might happen but it could just fall apart.

There's a notorious story about Byrne making some stupid comments about the n-word in the context of an argument with a fan over whether it's called a speech bubble or a speech balloon, but I can't remember the details so I won't try to recap it.

As far as his comments on people with disabilities are concerned, the main one which occurs to me is when he was saying "Christopher Reeve wasn't a hero; he's in hell" shortly after Reeve died (probably because Byrne resents the idea of anyone being more associated with Superman than he is; I don't know but I wouldn't put it past him).

I know he was really pissed about Latina Jessica Alba playing Sue Storm in that not very good Fantastic Four movie.

I like the cte thing in cage in theory but now that its out there that yes, in the marvel u heroes are getting permanent brain damage from their years of fighting its gonna be leaving a massive white elephant in the room thats never (probably) gonna be talked about after this

Other than that i liked it, this 40 page book thing works for me

Luke is enough of a street level hero that I think you can tell this story with him and have people accept it as an element of the tone his book operates on. Like, if you do it with Captain America, it comes off weird because this guy regularly fights cosmic gods and gigantic robots, but Luke is a bit more grounded.

Luke Cage is stronger than Captain America though so even in that sense it doesn't make sense. I liked Bendis knocking Luke up to the big leagues. If you keep him on that street level corner then the author is limiting themselves. Also street level heroes are sort of out of date with how gentrified New York City is now-a-days.

It makes sense the bulletproof man can still get his brain knocked around in his skull. Making Luke a metaphor for football players is perfectly fine.
