DynamicSloth posted:Emma a very attractive woman in her what early 30s? Has maybe slept with a half dozen extremely successful and attractive, nigh demi-gods, before the start of her stable long term relationship, this makes her a slut? I know right? Pray tell they never see the notches in She-Hulk's bedpost.

This is actually a good example of the double standards we apply to men and women. Emma Frost is a slut because she's slept with a bunch of people, including Tony Stark and Namor. What do we call Tony Stark and Namor?

Pak's Storm wasn't mindblowing but it was a very nice introduction issue. WATXM conclusion was really good but I kind of wanna go back and re-read the whole thing now. Is Quire being written out because Bendis or Hickman or someone wants to use him or is this part of WATXM's plot?

I feel like I forget everything that happens in a WatX issue like ten minutes after reading it. New rule: no more Future Evil X-Men stories for at least a year, please guys? I actually liked the last Bendis one better than this Latour one. Stupid plotholes like the letter aside, I could at least follow what the hell was going on. Last time we saw Future Phoenix Quire he was a good guy implied to be on the JGS faculty, but this time he was a bad guy who orchestrated all the Faithful John stuff and was going to... kill his past self? Seriously, someone who knows what this arc was about try to summarize it for me- it flew right over my head in a blur of "huh?" I'm gonna give it through the Death of Wolverine stuff to see how its status quo changes, but I really feel like dropping it.

Latour's run isn't horrible or anything, but I can't be bothered to care about anything that's gone on. The plot is yet another "the X-Men have to stop a bad future from happening" story that's super confusing to boot, the writing is too derivative of Aaron but without any of his charm or quirks, and the art is mediocre. It's really a shame, because I loved Aaron's run and I want to support this book on the principle of it being a lighter, student-focused story, but it's been consistently "meh" for me since the beginning. On the other hand, I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the new Storm book. The art is nice, and I loved how no-bullshit it was. No infighting, no time travel, no ridiculous supervillains or plot twists, no soap opera histrionics. It was just the X-Men helping people, guiding students, and tackling real-world social issues in a semi-realistic manner. It's everything I love about the franchise, and I wish it was something that was more common in the line these days.

Sentinel Red posted:Hmmm, I don't know if the X-Statix return tease leaves me appalled or thrilled. It could be SO GOOD! That's not a guarantee though even if Milligan is writing it. I think maybe Fraction could do something cool with a team as weird as that though. EDIT: Didn't X-Statix JUST show up in another book a few weeks ago? I can't remember what it was though. Unless I'm thinking of Doop.

hope and vaseline posted:What, where did this happen? All-New Doop #4. And, I dunno, to me, it's just Milligan making a joke. Like I feel there's a huge dichotomy in the "Hey, being obsessed with relatively minor comic book things from the past is kinda harmful and makes you a bit of a weirdo so maybe it's not that good a thing but HEY GUESS WHAT X-STATIX IS COMING BACK" thing that book is going for. Plus, the idea of things literally returning from the dead for no reason has kinda been explored in that Dead Girl miniseries, so I don't see what new ground there would be to cover. I'd still buy new X-Statix, especially if Milligan's at the same level as he is now, but maybe it's not radically new enough.

There was a good month or two between reading WATX #4 and today when I read #5 & 6 but even with that I had no loving clue what was going on in the future. I couldn't tell who was a future version or what was going on. I'm also done with this series

I'm pretty sure that it was implied that seeing his future good self as Phoenix back in Battle of the Atom reinspired Quire to be a rebellious prick, leading Phoenix-Quire to be evil. Or not. gently caress it, this story really was confusing, huh? I don't know, there were a lot of parts of the story I liked (everything with the other X-students in the school, Wolverine naming his Bamf after Prof X), it just never really coalesced into a decent overall story.

It didn't help that the issue opened with the worst art for this week for me, and I'm reading the current Deadpool ongoing (at least there it almost makes sense to have ugly art). I actually glanced back at the credits page and found there was something like 5 artists who worked on this issue. I wanted to like this series, but I'm going to drop it as well. All-New X-Factor and X-Force, you're the only X-Titles left for me.

Is it safe to say that Doop's origin ended up being fifty times weirder than anything anyone theorized? He's a tulpa created by a hospital orderly doodling on Ingmar Bergman's script for The Seventh Seal, and his whole life he thought he was created by Ingmar Bergman. That's so gloriously loving weird.

If you turn on "Colorize threads according to the bookmark category I've assigned" in your options, you can give your bookmarks different colors. I mark these threads as red on Wednesday until I read the books I care about. I do the same for any show that has an airing that night until I watch it.

She just isn't that kind of character. It has nothing to do with the character; it's just the fact that Victor Ibañez, as talented as he is, is no David Aja or Declan Shalvey & Jordie Bellaire pushing the boundaries. It's totally cool superhero comic art, but the envelope is remaining pretty chill and unpushed. (For now.)

The art was fine. Standard Marvel fare. Unexciting, but serviceable. I'm talking story. Plot. Dialogue. Flying back and forth from New York to Africa twice and returning a student with hastily constructed wangst to her family will only get you 22 pages once without getting stale. A little set up for the future would have been a nice reassurance that there's a plan for the book beyond, "Oh poo poo, we need another girl power book so we don't get yelled at." I enjoyed it enough to give the second issue a try, but it doesn't exactly feel like a long-haul book, and it has nothing to do with the visual aspect.

I wish they'd drawn the thing out with the student, or at least not resolved it in #1. That could have given us some kind of thread for what to expect for the future, at least, working the sellout angle or whatever. Hopefully they figure out where to take it.
