Synesthesian Fetish posted:How do you think Juggernaut spent his time flying through space in Sins of Sinister for like hundreds of years? This maybe?  I decided to start the Juggernaut mini from a few years ago since it's in Dawn of X reading order anyway. Also it's written by Fabian Nicieza. This is a name I've never heard in all my years hanging around comic nerds. Then I read some early 90s X-men stuff for Sabretooth and he wrote the best stuff with Sabes by far, whether it was X-Men Unlimited 3, the main series, or the Sabretooth special when he escaped. It was really good stuff. So I'm excited to read his Juggernaut now. I enjoyed Issue 1 well enough.

Nicieza is loving great and a massive part of the X-line in the 90's.

The way it ends is brutal too with Cable going on about the lack of permanent change or growth in his world (aka comics as he his character is reverted back to BIG GUY WITH BIG GUN because another creative team wants to use him).

Either Joe Kelly or Gail Simone are probably the ones to give credit to or lay the blame on for for Deadpool's popularity, given they basically made the character as we know him today.

Eh, Simone wrote a good Deadpool but her run was way too short to give that sort of credit. I think Joe Kelly had the most influence over the development of Deadpool's character. After him a bunch of other writers have done their own twists and takes on him and the movie version pulls from a lot of them. Nicieza, Way, and Duggan would be the next three that you would say had the biggest influence on how Deadpool is portrayed now. But Joe Kelly is the guy.

people talk a lot about Gail Simone's Deadpool run and forget that like 75% of that run was actually Agent X

I honestly prefer Juggernaut as a bad guy simply because he’s my favorite guy to see heroes fight. Back in like 2001-2002 I hunted down almost every Juggernaut appearance because nobody puts a hero on the back foot like Juggernaut when he’s doing the whole “unstoppable while moving” thing. It took all of Thor’s power just to slow him down. Seeing Juggernaut get hurt in an explosion in Chuck Austen’s first arc felt wrong, and really colored my perception of good guy Juggernaut. As a character arc it’s nice that he tries to better himself and be an ally to mutants.

He's probably the one that had the most (for lack of a better term) "lolrandom" moments that made like single scenes/panels get onto meme sites and enter the non-comic-reading public consciousness. Speaking of Deadpool by the way, how was the last volume of his solo book? I didn't read it at all but I know I have liked the character at times.

While it's silly and really up to the writers. I am pretty sure the Team on the right wins most fights if only because they have a number advantage along with more heavy hitters.

You could bench Juggernaut and and Psylocke on Cyke's team and you still get the opposing side mind-whammied, teleported to limbo and eye-punched to the next ZIP code. I mean, Rogue is the only heavy hitter they have and everyone else is short-ranged.

Scott's team is like Extinction Team 2.0 with some of the most powerful mutants around. And that cover doesn't even include Magneto. Like you're talking about a team that would probably even beat the current Avengers lineup.

But to do that you’d have to get the writer of X-Men and the writer of Avengers to coordinate with each other.

Is there any truth to this? I have no idea who this guy is but his role as editor seems to inspire either love or hate in longtime comic readers. To a newbie like me, though, this sounds cool.

Storm has had a mini and a (short lived) ongoing before and Jean Grey has had at least two minis, so they're good choices for X-Men solo books. I think most of the Claremont era X-Men could hold their own in an ongoing with the correct writer because he was so adept at adding an internal narrative while all of these big things were happening around them so there's a poo poo ton to draw from.
