Right now there's tons of snake oil salesman claiming their magnetic bracelets slow the aging process, so maybe that works for the Master of Magnetism as well

With Magneto it was explicit that after being turned into a baby and then back to adulthood that he ended up being younger than he used to be.

Lanzing and Kelly have been pretty consistently good from the stuff of theirs I’ve read, really enjoyed their captain America run. Pretty cool to see Anole, X-Kids eating good with Surge on X-Force. Now let’s fix Rockslide

It's pretty funny how Peach Mokomo's version of Ultimate X-Men effortlessly outclasses every single one of the original series' 100+ issues, just by being a pretty good Image-style YA horror comic, and also by totally ignoring every previous issue of Ultimate X-Men.

Well yeah it's ignoring it because it's a completely different universe. No relation to the old series at all. The old Ultimate X-Men wasn't even very good at the time it was written much less a decade plus later.

Speaking of little or no connection to previous series, I really like the lineup of NYX in terms of characters but I have no idea who the hell the talent involved is and the fact that it's named NYX makes me...skeptical (cuz the first one was bad!) Also a little weird that it's described as formerly young X-Men exploring young adult life. That works for everyone else, but is Kamala gonna be a 16 year old hanging out with a bunch of twentysomethings?

I like most of Jackson and Lanzing's things. Their Captain America was really good and so was Thunderbolts. I wasn't as high on their Guardians book but a whole bunch of other people really liked it.

It amuses me when I see people legit complaining about this. Of course it's different, its a new universe. Silly people out there, man. I'm glad its not just the regular X-Men with a different coat of paint.

Lanzing & Kelly are great. Kinda irks me to see them on this book and Marcus To on X-Force when they could have paired them back together. They did Joyride from Boom which is one of my favorite creator owned books in the last several years.

X-O posted:The old Ultimate X-Men wasn't even very good at the time it was written much less a decade plus later. Man, those books were like if the X-Men: Last Stand movie was an 8-season FX original series. Just this passionless slog of halfway-rewritten stories and botched cameos from unrecognizable characters and it just wouldn't die. It's wild if you look at the rest of the line, Bendis was writing really solid teenage Spider-Man stories, and Millar and Hitch kind of fell bass-ackwards into accidentally creating the MCU, and then X-Men was just... nothing. Anyone remember how Bryan Singer was supposed to write an arc, and it kept getting postponed?

These posts from Lanzing are really selling me more on the book. https://twitter.com/JacksonLanzing/status/1778512883363815886 https://twitter.com/JacksonLanzing/status/1778513077266493892 https://twitter.com/JacksonLanzing/status/1778527294216372713 The last one. Yes please.

Didn't the Original Ultimate X-Men like, want us to very much like Wolverine in it? And This Wolverine was just a huge piece of poo poo and a pedophile? And also tried to just straight up kill Cyclops so that he could gently caress the 16 year old or something Jean Grey?

Codependent Poster posted:https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/phoenix-jean-grey-stephanie-phillips-alessandro-miracolo-from-the-ashes I know it's a very iconic story and the Phoenix is now a big part of the cosmology of the Marvel universe even outside of X-Men but I am so loving tired of the Phoenix. I don't know how hot of a take that is, but I'm just tired of how so many X-Men stories (especially anything involving Jean Grey) always loops back to the Phoenix.

Two Pair, if we all got a penny for every time you posted you were so loving tired of [something] we'd all be living in mansions. On the moon. Still, as far as Phoenix goes, this upcoming book is very much something I wanted 20 years ago but now it's happening, I'm pretty apprehensive. I was so happy with X-Red Vol 1 Jean having put all that behind her yet here she is being dragged back into it. I dunno, maybe she's gonna be flying about the galaxy righting wrongs, burning down bastards, and eating the occasional star but hmmmmmmmmmm. Alaois posted:Great we're gonna have to listen to Pete Wisdom talk about how Pulp was actually the most important band of all time I'd have no issue with that at all.  That train of thought has me imagining all the covers done album cover style, including Fred Dukes doing The Holy Bible. Hopefully with his magnificent 'tache.

I mean...I know that I constantly bring this up, but yeah it actually has been twenty dang years since mainline 616 Jean has been Phoenix in the comics. If someone is tired of Phoenix, it is demonstrably not because Jean herself has been Phoenix, because practically everyone else has been Phoenix except for her. LIke...it's time. It's way past time. Let her cook. I will say, though, that I've been pretty pissed at Weapon X-Men...or whatever the hell that book is...for kind of blowing the collective Phoenix load before before the actual current big Phoenix story got to its actual climactic spurt, and not even doing so in a way that highlights Jean, but loving multiverse Wolverines instead. Seriously, way to suck all the Phoenoxygen out of the room before Gillen got to his big finish.

I suppose it's only recently gotten on my nerves since the recent White Hot Room stuff where they find Jean after her death and basically acknowledge that she's the key to how Mother Righteous is gonna kill the Phoenix Force (or did already I guess) because even though Jean wasn't the Phoenix when she died, she just still is basically? (if I was reading the story right, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

I mean, from what I've seen of it, and based on the premise, Weapon X-Men looks like a big tongue-in-cheek book. I don't think anybody is really taking it seriously or that they're supposed to.  As such, not sure it can really steal anybody's thunder.

It's been established that the White Hot Room contains everyone who has ever or will ever host the Phoenix Force, as it exists outside of time and space. So it's not surprising that after any of Jeans deaths that she could be found there.

quote:Announced last month, X-MEN will be the first of three flagship X-titles set in the upcoming From the Ashes era. No longer living under the protection of Krakoa, it’s a dangerous time for mutants everywhere, and dangerous times call for radical action! Cyclops gathers a group of his most trusted and reliable mutant soldiers along with the brightest of the next generation to tackle the most prevalent threats to mutantkind, including an existential new enemy that rises out of the remains of ORCHIS. Prepare for a reckoning as this team handles explosive mutant-specific issues without restraint. Humanity can hate them all they want, as long as they fear them! Juggernaut is just a human being with a magical gem, isn't he? Why is he there in the mutant radicals team? Does his mini from a few years ago go over anything new I should know? It's on my Krakoa Reading Guide. Also my reading has been too slow these past couple days, I just now finished X-Men #7 with The Crucible. I had vague cult-y feelings early on with everyone chanting MUTANT but this kina solidified that. As Kurt said, they needed a mutant religion.

He became a lot more chill once he worked through his issues with Xavier. Between his "partnership" with Black Tom and befriending Squid Boy, he's become a very good mutant ally.

During the Krakoa era it was pointed out that he was pretty much Xavier's number 1 fan now. Anyway while not a mutant, he's a prominent ally and well liked.

Xavier didn't want Juggernaut on Krakoa, so Legion brings him on as part of his team to spite him. He' was partnered with Forget-Me-Not.

I thought they called out that because Juggernaut was moving at lightspeed the time difference was not the same for him as it was for the rest of the universe, but I could be mistaken.

my recent x-men run somehow turned, from seeing Legion and what was going on with him, to a New Mutants OG read. And I have to say like 12 issues in, it's real cool to see these characters grow in their abilities and confidence. And it's cool this is from the teenage experience (from a middle-aged pen). But they should rename it New Mutants: Go Off Somewhere to Cry. Lol, it's every issue has one of this kids need to find a forest to pour one out for themselves
