triplexpac posted:Yeah, I hear you. I feel like it started strong, with Cyclops running around throwing up Xs and pissing off Shield, but lately I don't know what their point is. They're decompressing. WatX was a solid book. No frills, just a good cast hitting their character beats strong. No bullshit subplots or villains. I'm glad I stuck around for this.

Waterhaul posted:Yeah I would have gone with Storm and the X-Men but I don't think that's a title Marvel would put out but Nightcrawler having a solo book, a team book and taking another would make him a perfect Wolverine replacement Why not? If they're taking a chance with a solo Storm book, tacking on "and the X-Men" might attract fans of the other X-Men. Put Rockslide and Anole in there, and you'd have BSS reading it.

CharlestheHammer posted:I am pretty sure the whole reason he used the time poo poo in the first place is so he could have an easy way to put all his toys back in the box at the end. Nah, he did time poo poo because the original five X-Men are a great group of teen heroes. Spider-Man has always been pretty youthful even as an adult, but the core X-Men grew up way too fast. Maybe they will go back at some point, but I wouldn't mind if they stuck around, and the time travel stuff became a footnote.

My memory is very hazy of AoA, but I have every issue, and don't really remember much being bad. Don't really remember much being great either. Amazing X-Men and Generation neXt kind of stand out as the better ones.

X Necrosha is pretty good if you like gritty, stabby X-Force in all black and gray. Personally, I didn't care for it much, but it had its moments.

Boogaleeboo posted:He's kind of a one note character, and I don't think there's anything they can do to meaningfully kick him up from B-list. And hell, WatX is keeping him hanging on to B-list by a thread. He's like the main character of the book. He's solid B-list, and only time will decide if he can endure long enough to make it to the A-list.

IUG posted:I stopped reading most X-Books when Bendis took over, and I'm not reading Axis at all. But if Evan turned Apocalypse as was foreshadowed because of the Axis events, then I'll be happy. Because I didn't want them to bring back Apocalypse just for the sake of him being a villain again. It seems like the Axis stuff will be temporary of course, so then that means the foreshadowing was correct, and it's not an assassination of Evan's character if he can revert. It's not an assassination of his character because Axis is being written by the guy that created him.

I thought the Uncanny Annual was delightful. Haven't cared much for Uncanny (I read my friends copies occasionally), but bought the annual on a lark , and thought it was good fun. Some fun stuff with Killraven and the Rawhide Kid.

X23 was added to the team because she was the two things that could improve the dynamic of the original five: Another female, a Wolverine. There really was no better choice for a sixth member. EDIT: I also hope the original X-Men stick around. I wouldn't even mind if they became the only versions of those characters after Secret Wars. I'd love to see some stories involving them without the fish out of water aspect. Open Marriage Night fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Feb 5, 2015 |

Rick posted:I have a soft spot for the original X-Men so this wouldn't be the end of the world to me. So many years of nothing for Iceman wouldn't be missed, Jean without the baggage would be nice, and Cyclops as Magneto Jr. is dumb to me. It's actually the work with Beast and Warren, who were arguably the worst O5 characters that I think it'd be a shame to wipe away. Right, but it's not like they wouldn't be taken in similar directions eventually. Going blue was the best thing to happen to those two, and I wouldn't mind reading those stories with a modern take.

Me. The original Kid Flash is my favorite Teen Titans character (love that costume), and a old friend of mine was a big Raven fan, so we remembered. It never went anywhere because she was unconsciously manipulating him. She also did something similar to Dick Grayson I think.

But we need regular ol skirt chasing Wolverine to be gay and it was all a cover for his super deeply repressed homosexuality and also he's not even a little bit bisexual.

I like that the young O5 are becoming healthier versions of their older selves. Jeans learning the extent of her powers without going crazy, Cyclops gets to spend time with his dad, and Bobby, well, I always knew. I used to watch Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.

Len posted:I checked the OP and didn't see an answer. I have never read an Xmen comic before but have Marvel Unlimited where's a good place to start? Try the first issue of Uncanny X-Men by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Giant Size X-Men by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum, New X-Men #114 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, Astonishing X-Men #1 by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday, and Wolverine and the X-Men #1 by Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo. Get a little taste of the different eras of X-Men, and find which one speaks to you. Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender is a pro choice if you want some heart with your black ops mutants.

You're being silly. Whedon's Cyclops was loving aces, and he did some really fun stuff with Wolverine. Also a drat good Kitty Pryde, Beast, Emma Frost. And he gave us Abigail Brand. I thought it was a good marriage of Morrison and Claremont's X-Men. Like most Morrison books, the world wasn't ready for the New X-Men to be the status quo, so it was inevitably going to be dialed back.

That was Grant Morrison's run. It definitively stated that mutants weren't some genetic gently caress up, but were the next step in evolution, and Homo sapiens were going the way of the Neanderthal.

Did people really think they weren't going to have adult Bobby come out? Just because he dated a few women in the past, doesn't really mean much. I've recently been dealing with someone whose ex fiancé, and father of her child, drunkenly came out a month before their wedding. Not a drat thing surprises me anymore. Was Extraordinary any good? That Ramos art is a little off putting.
