I haven't read any Savage Wolverine at all, is it worth checking out?

I'm not a huge Wolvie fan, but I do like good comics.

Isn't that the one with diffrent writers/artist on every arc? So it really depends?

I like Yost, but am sad to see Aaron on fewer books. What's going on with him? I know he's working on that Watcher event, but does he really have nothing else other than Thor on the pile? Is he doing any creator-owned books at all?

Yes Southern Bastards. I assume that there will be some titles coming out of the watcher event, and he will get one.

Which is a pretty big reveal considering the issue that Magneto left, he finds that MGH is the abundant drug of choice for nearly the entire island of Madripor. That means Mystique has been draining her for quite some time and not a soul outside her click knows about it, save Magneto who I'm pretty sure isn't about to rescue a sellout to Shield.

I am sure she is just one mutant she is using.

I dunno, I could totally see Mystique being the type to just stuff a bunch of people in a warehouse if that were the case but I wouldn't be surprised if you were right either. I guess it could be used as a retcon for anyone else MIA.

I'm also not really liking how some characters just went poof after those two X-Force teams met up.

On a plus side, I'm so happy for Nightcrawler's return!

Just for desicussion's sake (To the thread in general) Who's your favorite character right now and a moment they really shined in your eyes recently?

No I am an idiot and I agree with you. I meant to say is that that I am sure she is not just the only mutant she is using.

I'm slightly confused about whether that first part is sarcastic or not cause I totally got what you meant and agree with you that it probably is likely she's holding others captive for this purpose. I dunno how long it's been in comic time but its been enough time for Mystique & friends to gain control of the entire island with MGH seeming to be their main source of income. Dazzler looked pretty bad and I don't know exactly how the drug works but I'm pretty sure one mutant couldn't supply a whole population.

Geez, Pac, that's pretty twisted.

No its not sarcastic. I took my own comment as being just about her being the sole person, and thought I just hosed up. I assume that she is using the X-men to find new mutants, and thinking that SHIELD is helping contacts Dazzler and they are sent to be harvested.

^^ Every future in X-men is a dystopian future. SHIELD being the enemy is also nothing new. I got to respect that while he is doing some of the old things, he is still shaking up the line. The main X-men titles have been pretty stagnant since Morrison left. As for Jean's new power, who knows if the elder one would have gained it. It could have been prevented while under the sea, or she needed to be part of that specific fight to unlock. I mean its the same as bitching, how could Jean suddenly gain all this power and call herself the Phoenix.

Counterpoint: Chuck Austen's run which has been pretty much ignored (right? Right? Or maybe it was just ignored in my head).

A character he created was in X-men first class and was just in Amazing X-men.

Amazing and Adjectiveless are getting One More Issue from me, only because I forgot to cancel them both when I went to my store today. I really want to like Adjectiveless because I like Jubilee, but also Mercury and Bling and Hellion and am hoping for more of them... but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm still a fan of All-New and Uncanny, though. I don't think Bendis is overstepping bounds anywhere because it's all reversible without major retconning. We all know the O5 are going home at some point, we all know Cyke and Wolverine are gonna somewhat reconcile at some point.

amazing is getting a new writer soon. 6 is a full in then it's yost.

Any excuse to post this gif is a good excuse.

I think most people would agree Marvel went down the shitter when Disney bought them. Everything turned into a platform to launch movies instead of letting the movies happen naturally. There's no room for new risky things, because everything needs to be safe with some way of turning it into yet another profitable PC movie.

Regarding Magneto, I don't think he's been a golden age villain in a million years. Even Scott Lobdell tried to write him as a conflicted character, though the result was not entirely a success (most would say "far from it").

Grant Morrison showed him as a Genoshan leader living in peace until the genocide of his nation. It's implied the mental trauma led him into the drug Kick (Sublime) and thus to blaming the X-Men for everything, which in true Morrison fashion turned out into an incredibly convulted plot device, but one which most people including me liked. When you see him destroying New York he is completely gone, choke-full of drugs, having monologues with his Xorn persona, and is only stopped when Wolverine finally puts him out of his misery. He's not a 60's villain, but a deeply disturbed old man.

When he comes back -- because god knows this is comics -- he's a benevolent leader in House of M, saves Xavier in Legacy, and later rejoins the X-Men. Even on his new solo series he's trying to do what he believes to be the "right thing". He isn't an anti-hero and neither is he a cackling maniac. He's Magneto and during most of his history he's been written this way.

Morrison showed him once and it was right before he died, and it showed him wounded after trying to kill everyone. Also Marvel has been taking a lot of chances in the last couple of years, and doing much better than DC.

Saoshyant posted:

Oh, I meant it as a recent development. In the last decade you had things like X-Statix, Incredible Herc, Cable & Deadpool... things that wouldn't sell movies, but were fun comics. That became less and less prevalent with time. Probably even before Disney bought them, sure, but when Abnett & Lanning wrote Guardians of the Galaxy, it wasn't intended as an attempt at a franchise movie. One can't say the same thing about its newest iteration or this misguided attempt of Marvel forcing the Inhumans down everyone's throats.

You really can not say that. I mean when Guardians came out it was the same year that Iron Man came out. When ever they had a movie they had tie ins no matter what.

And now that I've read Schism, I completely agree with Logan.

Beat Scott and Maddie. She is a women who looks just like his dead love. He also ditches her and his son when he heard Jean was back. It ends up that she is a clone of Jean, and the son has to be sent to the future to become Cable.
