Xavier just wants X of Swords to end and doesn’t want anything else to spin off into more tie-ins so he’s cutting wherever he can.

I mean, my first thought was "Xavier doesn't want the FF's drama right now and is willing to gently caress up Franklin's day to do it."

I have really liked most of X of Swords, but I am really starting to want Mystique to go ahead and break Sabretooth out of jail so we can kill one of the Five already. Hickman is doing a great job but a lot of the other writing is starting to be a drag.

A big 22 part crossover was a mistake.

FF spoilers: Franklin Richards isn't a mutant anymore, thanks to Slott. And we just had a miniseries about how he was. Also a really good miniseries some years ago about it, but I guess Cerebro needed that latest firmware update to know for sure.

I liked X-Terminators.

The build up in Uncanny was dumb and bad and basically destroyed X-Man as a character for other people to use, but it wasn't as bad as what happened in Uncanny afterwards.

I'm a little curious, since this was handed to you like that is this like, a reverse aero/swordmaster situation where they wanted to develop a mecha series that will be translated for a Japanese audience? Are there figurines in the pipeline?

The title drops are one of my favorite things in this run. You can always read them like six different ways and this last one was just so loving good.

My one wish is for Tony Stark to armour up into Iron Man to armour up into Hulkbuster to armour up into Hulkbuster Mecha to armour up into Combined Avengers Mecha.

Tony walks the other Avengers out to the hanger and shows them the five mechs that form come together to form the ultimate Avengers mech. Steve congratulates Tony on growing and learning to trust his friends to work together as a team. Tony looks at Steve puzzled as 4 remote controlled Iron Man suits come out and climb into the pilot seats of the other mechs.

If the Avengers are getting combining robots I don't want just the main seven to get robots, I want all the Avengers to get robots, and I want all of them to combine so the result is one of those Power Rangers robots so big and complex that the guy in the suit cant actually move



like that, but every part is a different Avenger

I'm just saying, after watching 616 I'm going to be very disappointed if Marvel doesn't announce a Brute Force series written by Paul Scheer very soon.


Also I could have listened to Donny Cates explaining US-1 to an increasingly confused Paul Scheer for the entire hour.

Also this is one of the problems with starting out something by saying "I haven't watch it yet but" because the entire episode in reference deals with the Marvel Method of writing and the reason it's Slott is because he's one of the only writers that still uses it. And most of the episode is about how terrible he is at deadlines.

I would think the Marvel method would make it easier to complete work under deadline (for the writer at least) because the artist isn't as dependent on getting a complete script before starting their own work.

Oh, looks like Marvel Unlimited just added a huge chunk of Nocenti's Daredevil. Still missing whatever was immediately after Born Again. Born Again ends in issue 233, then it has #238, then skips to 252. Looks like they have everything from 252 on now at least.

So happy about this!

Now if they can just fill in the massive gaps on Spectacular Spider-man and Web of Spider-Man I’ll be happy. It’s insane how their flagship character is missing SO MUCH of the 80s and 90s runs....

Also Christos Gage has co-written a bunch of his stuff. He's basically the go-to 'Dan's not finished scripting yet and we need this issue done' guy.

Unfortunately, assuming the 616 episode is right, Slott's so terrible at getting stuff in on time that the artists still have to rush to get things done before the deadline.


I mean, I have my own problems with procrastination, but then I'm not employed by a major comics company to write some of their flagship characters.

I haven't been paying that much attention to this whole thing 'cuz, at the end of the day, the amount of Slott books I read continues to be zero, but if it's gotten to the point that it's a consistent burden on the artists who have to work harder to make up for his lovely work ethic then..........yeah F that. This whole trend of failing upwards in the industry is really disheartening.

The 'lights' are the first wave of mutants after M-day. Referencing the Cerebro map. Hope, Primal, Idie, that speedster who ages faster Velocidad, maybe goldballs? transonic the flying blue girl and Zero.
