Wolverine is the Phoenix in Jason Aaron's Thor story that is set millions of years in the future. In Avengers 700, also by Aaron, Wolverine shows up at the end of the issue with looking like his normal self but with the Phoenix powers. He also talks about how he's been alive for eons though. So what's going on is anybody's guess.

Teenage Fansub posted:Looks like Rosenberg gets UXM when it goes monthly. Ths is my fault, I found a monkey's paw and wished that Greg Land wouldn't be the artist on UXM. Larocca is the loving worst. His art on Star Wars literally made me nauseous.

Larocca is weird. Sometimes he's godawful and sub-Land and sometimes he's actually pretty good. I keep wanting him to go back to whatever he was doing on the Cable and X-Force series he did with Dennis Hopeless. I really enjoyed his art in that. The designs were a little overly busy for my tastes but I enjoyed the art. Every time I see someone post a Star Wars panel from him though it's the loving worst.

His work on Cable and X-Force was unremarkable but basically fine, yeah. I wonder if it's more the coloring on Star Wars that's making it look awful, or Larocca's tracing and the colorist's colors in some sort of terrible feedback loop.

That cover looks soooo bad. I guess I'll see why Cyclops is back, though.

Larocca's level of tolerable art depends entirely on how much photo reference he decides to use. He can do a good job without photo reference (or at least drawing/sketching over it enough so it's not immediately obvious that he's just tracing Harrison Ford for Han Solo or most confusingly Sawyer from Lost for Iron Man after the movie came out) but he's done that less and less in the past decade. EDIT: Though I guess he is in that cover, which I assumed at first glance was Joe Quesada with a mediocre-to-bad ink job.

So, in X-Men: Red Cassandra Nova has a mind controlled Forge building her weapons. I see he was in that run of X-Force I didn't read, was he in anything else between the two?

He was making the mist nullifying machines in Inhumans vs X-Men.

Nothing in uncanny really grabbed me and the uncanny team looks boring (writer,artist,cast) I hope there will be another book announced with characters like rockslide and co. They are a focus so either it’s going to spin off into something or they are all going to be killed. Right now the only x titles worth anything are red and gambit/rogue

Way to blow the UXM comeback. I like Rosenberg but Larroca is just awful; his work on Star Wars was terrible most of the time (and barely OK when not terrible).

So Age of X-Man is some alternate reality/universe thing that pulls in all the current X-Men and other mutants. Meanwhile Wolverine and a recently-returned Cyclops are left behind and team up as the Last X-Men. That's my guess to everything. But whatever, so long as Scott is back!

Destroyed X-men has been done, so that angle is less interesting, but the alternate reality books could be pretty cool.

I know a little bit about this event for reasons, and remain hopeful. At least one of the books is gonna be really good, so.

I am interested in that one that has the kids. Looks like Tempest is on the team. The Apocalypse one makes it look like he's become an artist.

Seeing it posted on Twitter I just realized the cover for Apocalypse and the X-Tracts cover features Eye Boy wearing sunglasses, which is a bit like wearing a hat to a nude beach to avoid skin cancer.

This is getting pitched as an alternate universe, but this is the first time in... maybe four years, possibly more, where X-Men rosters have looked even halfway interesting to me. Also, holy poo poo, Maggot!!!!

Probably Magic posted:This is getting pitched as an alternate universe, but this is the first time in... maybe four years, possibly more, where X-Men rosters have looked even halfway interesting to me. This is where I'm at. More than half of these I want to pick up just based on the casts alone. It looks generally strong in the writing department, too. It is a bit confusing where the Age of Apocalypse nostalgia is coming from though. It's not an anniversary, the stuff hasn't really been dealt with recently. I really liked the arc in I think X-Treme X-Men where they killed off the universe for good. Good to see that all six of X-Man's fans are getting a treat I suppose.
