You’d think the Shi’ar would work out the bugs. You guys see Thor as a Brood in the FCBD issue of Avengers?

Here's another Hickman interview. Nothing too exciting other than that the current books have the mandate of "just go nuts, swing away, and knock it out of the park." He also pretty heavily implies Bendis left Marvel because they didn't want to waste him on X-Men anymore: https://www.cbr.com/jonathan-hickman-house-of-x-powers-of-x-interview/

Haven't been following Rosenberg run because goddamn I hate Larroca's art and I've never seen anyone say anything positive about the run yet. Sunspot and Cannonball are some of my favorites. Roberto is legit my favorite New Mutant, we have so few south american heroes

I feel like Sunspot and Cannonball have done the impossible and graduated from the X-Men. That's something to celebrate, given their classmates from the original New Mutants are still stuck being supporting cast and getting killed off for Logan's man-pain.

Okay so I thought Wolfsbane was dead? And Mirage and Karma were all virused up? But none of this was the case in the WOTR crossover?

Synthbuttrange posted:Okay so I thought Wolfsbane was dead? I'm not reading WOTR, but Dark Beast transferred the T-O virus from Mirage and Karma to a Madrox clone early on, and Wolfsbane only died an issue or two ago. So presumably it takes place in between those issues?

It's actually not even between issues, it's between the beginning and middle of #16. The story alternates between them resolving the end of #15 with Cap and the Hideaway, and the newly democratic team going to stop Juggernaut and the Brotherhood led by Magneto's clone at an unspecified time later. The New Mutants were cured at the very end of the previous issue, Hope is still in the doghouse for turning Cyclops into a cyclops (and assassinating a politician) but is a fully-fledged X-Man by the end, and Rahne tells Scott she's leaving after he steps down but is pronounced dead by Dani at the very end of the book. So all of the War of the Realms stuff takes place somewhere in the middle of that.

Also, through the dialogue in Rahne's funeral, it is implied that Sunspot died before her, so I'm just getting read for Rosenberg to kill him off in the last tie-in issue with WotR

I don't blame anyone for not knowing this because I'm the only one reading the comic on this forum most likely but Cannonball is with X-Force at the moment.

It was some Astonishing Xmen comic after Whedon. I only remember because I bought that issue despite not picking up that series. I think the gimmick with that title was each issue was self contained, so maybe it varies from issue to issue.

I thought Warren Ellis did a not good run on Astonishing after Whedon left then they killed the book. An X-Men book where each issue is self contained sounds interesting.

Astonishing X-Men went: #1-24: Whedon/Cassaday but it took like four years to get 24 issues out #25-32: Warren Ellis also with delays #36-37: Daniel Way/Jason Pearson #38 - Christos N Gage/Juan Bobillo fill-in #39: Way/Pearson #40: Gage/Bobillo fill-in part 2 #41: Way/Pearson #42: Gage/Bobillo fill-in part 3 #43: James Asmus one-shot #44-47: Greg Pak/Mike McKone #48-56: Marjorie Liu/Mike Perkins (where Northstar gets married in 51) #57-68: Marjoie Liu and like ten different artists It wasn't really an anthology book like X-Men Unlimited, though for a minute there between the Ellis and Liu runs it kind of looked like the old Legends of the Dark Knight book (or a few other variations that have happened through the decades) where a creative team would come in to to a 3-6 issue story and out, but even that didn't really work out/last long. Also with all books done like that at Marvel or DC, they launch with some big creator names and slowly devolve into some inventory story that Scott Lobdell and Jim Califiore banged out one week six years ago.

The zombieness is because it was a Death Seed that brought him back, and since "what if we make Banshee more like his namesake" is the level of cleverness comics editors seem to love they've left him that way even though the other UA Horsemen, Daken, Sentry, and the fuckin Grim Reaper were all fine. He was booked in the dialogue as having to be that way for years until they develop the technology to remove the Celestial goop or w/e in him (this was in 2014), so maybe Dark Beast will fix him too?

What exactly is the deal with Hickman's X-Men? Do we know any details other than how huge and franchise changing it's going to be? I haven't kept up with X-Men in ages so I have no idea if it's supposed to conclude any current storylines or if he's just doing his own thing. Is there anything worthwhile going on in X-Men right now?

The Age of X-Man crossover books are pretty fun, although I feel like some of the titles have failed to stick the landing and are spinning their wheels in the home stretch. Leah Williams' X-Tremists has escaped this fate, and is notably good. Uncanny is mostly terrible grimdark nonsense, stiltedly related by a fool.

I thought X-Tremists was actually really beautiful this week. I like Leah Williams a lot when she's doing more intimate character studies like this and What If?: Magik, less so the jokey stuff like Giant Men although I liked that too. Today's issue really got to me though, especially back to back with a particularly cruel issue of A Walk Through Hell. She gets the horror of Age of X-Man's high-concept in a way nobody else seems to, and is really leveraging it as a way of giving attention and thought to characters that have been one-note or neglected for too long.
