They totally meant Hope to become Ignored Teenage X Character 54 rather than something significant?

Rereading Messiah Complex, it really reads like she is supposed to be Jean.

Yeah, she was definitely changed at some point. The 5 lights have been completely forgotten now too and will almost definitely be killed off next time they need to show a villain as a threat. X-teens get completely ignored for a new group of characters the second the book they were introduced in ends.

Only cause I don't know the X-office editor by name. Whoever's in charge of X-structure. I actually quite like Bendis' Uncanny and would probably rank it 2nd after X-Force in terms my enjoyment. He can't end a story to save his life (the recent Dark Beast bullshit) but I love the stories while I'm reading them.
I didn't know the annual was gonna be all about Tempus. Presumably what happened to her during her lost years. I'm excited for that!

I just really hate the whole thing where they're artificially aging Tempus up so putting her in a relationship with Cyclops will be slightly less creepy.

It get's weird because of the sliding timeline. These vaguely young characters are going to be adults at some point, but when depends on more or less whoever is writing them the day they hook up with an established adult character. I remember thinking that Layla couldn't be older than 12 when she was first written in House of M.

Didn't someone get aged up because Land was on her book and kept tracing pornstars for a character who had been written as 14/15? Maybe Pixie?

It was Pixie. She was 14 before but then they had to explicitly state in dialog that she was 19 so Land's art would be less creepy. This is what she used to look like in New X-Men drawn by Skottie Young

And here's Greg Land's

This Ultimate universe crossover is an odd thing to me, I'm curious to see where it goes. There's no X-men book in the Ultimate Universe right now, maybe this's could eventually lead to the Original 5 becoming the new Ultimate X-Men team?

Remember that motherfucker? And his motherfucking Phoenix tattoo? I just did, and now I'm pissed off all over again.

It's so weird that he ended up in the last movie. Fox has a weird penchant for including D-list x-men in the films. Quill, Angel Salvatore, Darwin, etc.

Both Bendis X-books are so far off the rails right now, I don't even know what to say. We're like 5 issues into each of the current arcs, and its still just different conversations about the instigating issue ("OMG we're in a different universe!" and "OMG there's a mutant who can control time, space, life, and death!").

I get that the end of the recent UXM isn't going to stick due to time-travel fuckery, but it's just so laughably transparent and they aren't even trying to make it otherwise.

Yeah, the stakes are significantly lowered for major character deaths now in comics. Fans know that if a death is going to last for more than one issue it'll be announced in a press release a couple months ahead of time. Otherwise we know it'll be immediately walked back, faked out, LMD'd or Doombotted next issue

I'm wondering if Hickman might take a shot at the X-Men after his Avengers/Secret Wars is over, or if he'll just go all creator owned like Fraction did.

It's not like he's actually dead anyways, we all know he's going to eventually be revealed to have been either alive or in healing factor hibernation or whatever trapped in the Adamantium whenever they want to bring him back.

Hey I just thought I'd share it since it was relevant to the fandom.

You guys really that mad that its in a cartoony style rather than hyper realistic? That's the style of our webcomic and we adapt pop culture characters into that style rather than try to imitate their own respective art styles.

Yes, clearly the cartoony style is the only fault with this totally not creepy webcomic that people here have a problem with.

Clearly.

Some people are speculating G Willow Wilson might be getting Uncanny. There's going to be a book announcement for her this week on The View apparently. It makes sense they'd announce Bendis leaving first and she's hinted at writing an X book after her current run is over on X-Men.

The most recent UXM had a cover that was supposed to be for the next arc because the will story ran long. That's why it has Havok on it when he doesn't appear in the issue.

On that note, Charles Soule killed Elixir in one of the Death of Wolverine tie-ins, so put another tally on the "Bendis doesn't give a poo poo about things he personally didn't write" board.

Wasn't Boom Boom in the recent X-Force book as well? I didn't read it but I don't imagine it would make much sense that she was just hiding out on Utopia this whole time, but maybe someone familiar with that book can verify.

They offered Fox a shitload of money for the rights to just a few of the FF villains and Fox spit in their face. Like stated above, they would rights-squat than allow Disney to make money.

My understanding was the offer was Fox keeps the Daredevil rights in exchange for Silver Surfer and Galactus. Fox turned it down which gave us the Netflix series.

The thing that really bugs me is when Land traces the work of other comic artists, I don't understand how he isn't a complete pariah because of that. The famous gif of his X-Men cover has a bunch of traces from John Cassaday in it. I guess his efficiency in turning in pages is enough for the publishers?

Because Marvel successfully argued they're Avengers related characters regardless of their species.

I feel like an untold part of the agreement was Marvel not using Quicksilver after Ultron and Fox not using Scarlet Witch at all.

So Franklin totally hosed up after Secret Wars and forgot about the time displaced X-Men didn't he? I imagine he created a whole other X-Men in the past and that's why they can't go back. Dammit Franklin after this and Jessica Jones and Ultimates 2 it's clear that you're not paying attention to the details.

The whole Secret Empire WWII history is a bit sloppy on his part too.
