No you see that's a legally distinct character who pities chumps, not fools. The most remarkable thing about Axe is not only does Claremont bring him back, but decades later Frank Tieri brings him back as a member of a prison gang called The Brothers, protecting a dude named Mo Money, and then brings The Brothers back again five years later and has Crossbones murder them all. Axe is not to be confused with Battleaxe, another large black mutant with an axe who sometimes goes by the nickname "Axe" and appears briefly later on in Claremont's runs on Wolverine and Uncanny.

He never even uses the axe. I feel like it was their big addition to prevent a lawsuit after getting a call from corporate. I can believe that Mr. T was very litigious in the era when he had a cartoon and a breakfast cereal.

I just read the old X-Men vs The Brood two parter and while I think Ostrander's writing is mostly fine, how on earth did he gently caress up Cannonball this badly? "Hard to hurt me when ah'm at full throttle"? what the hell?

Even I know the line by heart after seven issues of New Mutants. Does he have Wolverine talk about how proficient he is at the things he attempts, though those things are also admittedly unpleasant?

Anthony Stark makes you experience emotional reactions. He's a level-headed executive with a cardiac implant. Iron Man, on the other hand, is aerially mobile and often displaces large amounts of rubble etc. with his in-built energy weaponry.

danbanana posted:I just started back on floppies BECAUSE of Hickman's X-Stuff, after pretty much 15+ years of trades (and 5ish years of digital). I've honestly felt closer to books because of the move back to floppies and when I get the chance to be in a good shop (the one closest to me is literal trash), I usually find myself buying some random thing to support them. It was the same for me. I went once because I didn't remember to buy one of the issues before work and decided I wanted to read it during lunch. I found that going to a comic store that doesn't stink once a week to talk to a friendly associate who makes recs to me that I actually enjoy was a good experience. But going to a comic store like the stores I went to as a kid, or like I went to when I first moved to Arizona . . . no.

Sandwolf posted:Maybe this isn’t the exact place to ask but where should I start with the Old Man Logan world The Mark Millar stuff, which started in issue #66 of one of the Wolverine series, Then the Secret Wars mini, which will have Warzones somewhere in the title probably, then the regular Old Man Logan series. He was in one of the iterations of Uncanny X-Men and then a Weapon X series too, if you're on Unlimited it'd be the oldest post 2015 series. And then Dead Man Logan. Alternate answer is "just don't."

Skwirl posted:Alternate answer is "just don't." I didn't read much of the post-Millar stuff, but the character as a replacement for Less-Old Man Logan seemed to have some potential. Despite the extremely gross/bad origins of the character, he's basically DOFP Wolvie with a more soap opera-ish back story. That seems ripe for the right writer. Did that not play out? (I also understand that he was getting his solo series at the same time Laura was and that there is a heavy preference for the latter so maybe that makes OML look worse. Note that All-New is on my very long back list of stuff to catch up on.) Rick posted:But going to a comic store like the stores I went to as a kid, or like I went to when I first moved to Arizona . . . no. It sucks what's happening to shops now- gently caress, Diamond might be dead!- but so many of them were really lovely businesses propped up by a monopolistic system.
