Yeah, I have. I'm enjoying it; it's a very pretty book. Sinister's shown up already and done some bad poo poo, but it's looking like the real meat of the plot is going to be the genesis of Creed and Logan's rivalry.

He runs a corporation in a comic book and isn't Tony Stark or part of his retinue. Of course he's evil.

Jeabus Mahogany posted:My personal theory is that he's speaking that way specifically to piss off Psylocke. It's probably not the case, but I'm sticking to it. No, that's my theory too. After seeing where he ended up in the re-launch of Wolverine and the X-Men, I have a distinct impression he's deliberately trying too hard to keep up appearances and keep Betty at arms length. Sort of a "She wants to be better, and I am poison; I must drive her away" kind of thing. It seems like the sort of thing Si would come up with, considering the nuance and foreshadowing evident in his Legacy run, and more plausible than him just being bad at Fantomex.

Fritzler posted:Dude, I liked Uncanny X-Men way more than I have liked most issues of it. I'm not sure why, I can't put my finger on any reason why I liked it. Anole is off being CEO of Worthington Industries, which is I guess one way to get rid of a character you don't want to write.

Senor Candle posted:I have a HUGE problem with how they portray Cyclops's power in the issue that came out today. He uses it to propel himself around in space, which means it's pushing back on him when he's using it, which means he's basically headbutting everything he hits with his eye beams! Ahhh!! It pushes him around in space, where there's absolutely zero resistance. Considering he barely knocked his head against the ship when he was firing full blast, it's clearly not much of a push. Edit: What bugs me is that Warpath's cat-skunk-whatever girlfriend is cheating on Jimmy with Corsair. Cabbit fucked around with this message at 00:01 on May 8, 2014 |

Neo_Reloaded posted:I liked the No More Humans OGN. I have not been a big fan of Bendis's run at all (nor Wood's), so it felt like "finally, a real X-Men story again!" Beast is explicitly a sanctimonious prick, I don't know how anyone could misconstrue it. The Watcher showed up just recently with the specific purpose of telling him that. He's part of the Illuminati, for God's sake.

I have this underlying feeling that this Nightcrawler book is, objectively, not very good and yet I can't seem to stop myself from enjoying it. It's fun and sort of campy, somehow reminding me of older stuff. Like, just the depiction of Nightcrawler's heaven somehow invokes nostalgia and I can't even place why.

Saoshyant posted:Well, you see, when Mystique and Logan did their thing, their kid turned out exactly like his mother but WITH CLAWS! But when it was decided that Xavier's "grandkid" was actually his son with Mystique of all people, he's an exact clone because that's how genetics work and not because Bendis decided on a whim that would be the best way to use said character. Maybe he's also a shapeshifter like Raze, but he's incredibly fixated on his dad and opts to look like him. Or maybe kids don't follow a predictable notion of who they look like. I resemble my mother, my sister looks remarkably like my dad with breasts and brown hair. Genetics are weird.

Jiro posted:Why do people think that Holocaust Survivor Magneto, is going to go evil during AXIS and join up with NAZI Red Skull Onslaught? I could see a whole "Magneto loses his way, becomes what he hates" schtick, only done right this time. The slow erosion of his principles over the course of his solo series leading up to it, a detailed travelogue of his moral compromises and failings, would make for far better justification than "Magneto huffs some drugs and now he's a Nazi!".

PaybackJack posted:Yeah, I can't blame anyone on dropping X-Factor either. Peter David is the only writer I know that can take a team that's really interesting on paper, write excellent interactions between them, and then toss them into the most boring and bland overarcing stories ever. I love the dynamic between the characters and I love that he's flirting with advancing the "evil Doug" storyline but he really needs more interesting central plots to his arcs. I imagine, like most Peter David stories, it'll be really interesting a year or so into it. The best and worst thing about the guy is that his runs end up being really, really long.

Codependent Poster posted:Scott shows remorse too. So no, there really isn't an in-universe difference for it. Scott shows remorse that Xavier had to kick it, but not for his actions as a whole. I recall him being pretty clear on the ends-- new mutants-- justifying the means. Sort of like the difference between "I'm sorry I said something offensive" and "I'm sorry if you took offense at that".

Spiderdrake posted:I really liked X-Factor. I didn't necessarily think Slott hosed Quicksilver up, characters go back and forth, but this is him moving forward. This book is a nice example of what canon can do. Not really, because it's been pretty obvious for awhile now that this book is a travelogue of Magneto's journey to becoming a super-villain again. Frankly, I'm delighted that they put this much effort and care into fleshing out his heel turn instead of just having him show up evil one day.

radlum posted:Nazi Dinosaurs. Thanks Cullen Bunn, that was another great issue of Magneto. Beginning to think I should track down this guy's past work, if it's on par with the stuff he's dishing out on Magneto. Edit: My first foray into comics was, one Christmas, getting this big three ring binder full with Wolverine splashed over it full of Marvel stuff. Some issue of X-Factor with Madrox in a field(?) is my most enduring memory of the bunch. Still have that thing somewhere, I should dig it out of storage.
