Is the wall of names from the final page of Magneto supposed to be something? I was thinking maybe list of mutants in the Waiting Room, but figured there'd be at least one name that's a character you've heard of.

I think it's nice to spoiler tag things on release day and 24h later is, welp, if you are still reading the thread without checking the more recent issues is because you don't mind spoilers. PS: gently caress Beast.

My guess is that it's the names of all the Genoshan mutants who were killed who never had a chance to return.

My guess is it's Mags' own body count. If this is supposed to be like a hell place that tortures you, that'd be the easiest thing my mind jumps to

Like, isn't most of his direct body count literal loving Nazis?

Yeah and I don't think Magneto actually has a huge body count, especially if the retcon of him not being the same Magneto in Morrison's run still holds.

Rez of Mags was absolutely phenomenal. Every month Ewing competes with himself to be the best writer at either company, and the competition is stiff, but Ewing always wins. Very big props have to go to Luciano Vecchio as well, who's doing probably his best Marvel work here. I think everyone is generally used to his cartoonier style that's usually very bright and...upbeat?...but there are raw as gently caress pages here that boggle the mind.

Ewing has had one comic that was a miss for me and that's Venom, and that's not even his book. It's a book he had to come in on later when Cates had his car accident. The man is peerless.

I read the wall of names in Resurrection as a memorial wall similar to this Holocaust memorial (grabbed from an image search): As such I think it's less about Magneto's own body count and more about people he feels he should've saved.

Ewing's cosmology of the Marvel Universe is really good and I want him to write Dr. Strange (after Mckay is finished) but it kinda makes me sad knowing that no one else will ever pay it any mind or, possibly worse, probably reference it poorly I've been re-reading Immortal Hulk since I got the omnibus on sale during the holidays. I think this guy is my favorite modern(domestic(writer)) comics guy.

It was very neat finally getting to meet the Phalanx Dominion. Especially with it's characterization as a hungry, hungry OnimaruXLR posted:Ewing's cosmology of the Marvel Universe is really good and I want him to write Dr. Strange (after Mckay is finished) but it kinda makes me sad knowing that no one else will ever pay it any mind or, possibly worse, probably reference it poorly Granted they are both working together in the X office at the moment, but Gillen seemed ready and willing to expand on the Defender's Beyond material. Anyway, even if no one else picks up his ideas, Ewing has been masterful in how he threads his cosmic ideas from one series to the next, so as long as he's working for Marvel, I expect he'll keep them going. I'm curious what threads he will pick up in Immortal Thor (beyond Loki, of course.). Might be happening already, given I haven't read this weeks issue yet.

Gillen came up with Enigma, by the way, and everything around it. It was in his pitch. Ewing asked if he could tease it in Defenders and Gillen said yes.

Open Marriage Night posted:Fell down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what that Wolverine and Gambit issue was. Apparently it was a UK only book that reprinted old stories. If anyone is curious I did some more digging and narrowed down the range of issues I read at least, early 2001, and I am absolutely certain because I discovered they included this absolute delight and brought some memories back immediately. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Wolverine_Vol_2_22 The evil cocaine monster was quite memorable, funnily enough.

Ewing has fallen (for many years now, I might add, it didn't start recently) into what I call the Grant Morrison Hole, where the only writers willing to pick up and continue his ideas are basically just himself. Which on one hand is a drat shame, on the other hand I'm at least 50% certain other writers wouldn't do as good a job anyway so it's for the best.

It is hard to think of another writer who would, for any reason, do an entire goddamned superhero book that's explicitly built around not only Kabbalistic symbolism, but following up on the Kabbalistic symbolism that Claremont mentioned in passing 40 years ago. It's not even a criticism. It's just a question of what directions somebody typically bothers to go in, especially in a medium like superhero comics.

Reading Sins of Sinister it feels like it would have been nice if they would have had a little more time to breathe post AvXvE. It doesn't necessarily feel like a sudden switch or anything since honestly they had been doing more to set this event up than Judgement Day in the months prior but I could have used just a few more Krakoa slice of lifes. I guess there will be some between this event ending and Fall.

I guess there will be some between this event ending and Fall. I feel like this has been just about everything since Inferno. The X-Office wanted more time in Krakoa, and we got two years after Inferno, but the pace has been blistering, especially as it feels like editorial decided time was up. Things that would have had room to breathe in the first couple years of Krakoa are just getting short series and dumped as quickly as possible as they prepare for whatever is next. It's only been six months since the last Hellfire Gala, and the status quo that came from that definitely needed more time to cook in my opinion.

I haven't managed to read the whole x-series of the Krakoan age (there's a ton of it), so some things are still a bit hazy. Was Moira always going to betray the mutants, or was Destiny's return the main tipping point? Did she ever intend for Krakoa to succeed? How did she find her way into Orchis? And I thought she had seen the machine-dominated future as a nightmare in person (at least twice), but now she's all for it? Also, Forge gets hit by his neutralizer gun, very clearly stated to be irreversible, but later seems to be just fine and building stuff.

Like other pages in the comic, it's a reference to common tarot card art, in this case the Seven of Cups. The gates you asked about are in place of a treasure horde, laurel wreath, and dragon, respectively. If they are references to other cosmic entities in Marvel, like the others, they are ones I'm not familiar with. The orb looks vaguely like the dragon symbol used by Dr. Strange.

Nothing about Moira in this makes any loving sense to me, she's the weakest part of the whole thing. It's been a character assassination hatchet job almost as bad as Beast's, albeit his has been going on for well over a decade now so it's practically ingrained at this point. As far as Forge's gun goes, though, if it were irreversible wouldn't Ororo have been grounded for the last (not)25 years?

Ororo had to be turned into a child then re-aged to get her powers back, so maybe that happened to Forge off-panel!
