Ugh, I just started to get back into X-Men seeing as Uncanny X-Men 1 came out, and I didn't care for the last wave. And then they do a super mini series and I'm wondering if I should even continue. I keep on forgetting about the numerous tie-ins that always kill my interest.

The UXM miniseries is turning into a monthly at #11 while the Age of X-Man minis are happening on the side.

Just double checking but (last page of Uncanny 2 spoilers)this is the first time Legion has been in anything since the end of X-Men Legacy, right?

Spoilers regarding the character Skwirl is asking about : He had a brief solo series, maybe a limited, earlier this year. Didn't read it but I believe it was Pete Milligan so potentially good?

I felt like Uncanny #2 was the exact same brand of nonsense nothing that the first issue was. Game time! Take a shot every time that a telepath loudly proclaims that they can't read Madrox's mind because he's so confused!

It's still not as good as say, X-Men: Red, but it's an improvement on the previous issue. Hopefully they'll bring in Honeybadger at some point. It is funny that psychics have exactly 2 speeds, completely useless or able to fix everything in an eyeblink.

It was good, slightly different take on his mindscape since he has a celebrity psychologist trying to help him. That ending though... woof. (It's good, I just don't want to spoil it.)

I'm one of those humorless fans who's been reading since '85 and thinks it was all downhill after Claremont left. I eventually fully threw in the towel sometime in the middle of Chuck Austen's execrable tenure and haven't read x-books since. Everything I read about the time-displaced younger team, the inhumans, Cyclops being "actually bad," etc. makes me want to vomit. But on this thread's recommendation I read all of "All-New Wolverine" over Thanksgiving via the app and it was WONDERFUL. There's so much warmth, humor, fun, and self-awareness without turning it into a joke book and still leaving room for serious character development and growth. I guess I'm moving on to "Red." Anyway, that was great.

Cyclops' big evil was neutralizing a deadly terrigen cloud. Also it wasn't even him but Emma and the Cuckoos doing a massive worldwide mind trick.

So are they getting rid of the darn time displaced X-kids yet in this relaunchboot? That's my Moby Dick right there, I only need one Jean and Scott and whatnot, except for special weird occassions, let's get rid of the kids. Are we getting rid of the kids?

I won't even consider coming back to mainline X-books until that poo poo is gone. I still can't believe that this was done. It's like something out of really uncreative fanfic published for free online.

Eh, it made some sense. Adult Beast and Angel are ruined characters. Adult Jean was dead. You didn't need another Iceman or Cyclops but it was a package deal.

They aren't in the new Uncanny, even if somehow one or two of them stuck around after Extermination. And they aren't in X-Men: Red (but that book is ending because we can't have nice things).

Skwirl posted:They aren't in the new Uncanny, even if somehow one or two of them stuck around after Extermination. And they aren't in X-Men: Red (but that book is ending because we can't have nice things). It's ending? It just started. How are readers supposed to actually keep up with characters they like? Couldn't Extermination have just been a few-issue plot during an existing title that got rid of the original five and moved things forward. Someone at Marvel should just count up however many mutants there are with actual fanbases, divide them evenly into however many teams they'd like, make that many books per month and leave it at that. I'm baffled by how they choose to do things but recognize that since I'm not actually paying for physical copies as they're released I don't deserve a say in the matter. However I did really like the variant cover from Uncanny #1 by Cliff Chiang so I picked that up. davebo fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Nov 27, 2018 |

davebo posted:It's ending? It just started. How are readers supposed to actually keep up with characters they like? I'm just hoping that Red comes back in a mostly-identical form when they relaunch the X-line for the 100th time. It's probably my favourite cast of main characters in an X-Book since the Academy X days. For real, if you gave me a book that was just the Academy X cast (the good ones, anyway. The ones who are alive and still show up occasionally.) plus Gambit and Gabby, that would probably be perfect.

Aphrodite posted:Adult Beast and Angel are ruined characters. Adult Jean was dead. You didn't need another Iceman or Cyclops but it was a package deal. Is there even a way to rehabilitate Adult Beast at this point, outside of killing him permanently? S.W.O.R.D. was the best version of Beast, going back to him being the fun guy in the group. So it's a bummer how other writers turned him into a self-righteous prick who did terrible things and how it just kept escalating.
