I really hope the new Cyclops book leads to Rucka making a big return to Marvel, I'm super hyped for that. Also no way in hell do we start a new thread without the best drat X-Men moment of the last 5 years From Amazing X-Men #4:

So uh, what the gently caress was up with the new Uncanny? I read it twice and I still don't know what the gently caress happened.

So I guess I just stopped giving a gently caress about ANX but did Bendis actually explain how Corsair came back to life or is that yet another thing he just chucked out the window?

notthegoatseguy posted:They totally meant Hope to become Ignored Teenage X Character 54 rather than something significant? This is correct. I forget who said it (I thought it was Gillen but others disagree) but she was absolutely going to be Jean reincarnated. AvX hosed up a lot of plans though. Dacap posted: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. Teon just got shot in the newest issue of X-Men.

Cabbit posted: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. Uh, Hezibath (sp?) was Corsair's girlfriend for like 30 years. Long before she ever met Warpath. But of course, we're ignoring that Corsair died or that the San Francisco X-Men era ever happened.

Waterhaul posted:I'd almost say his run would be worth it if he did but I can't see it happening. From every interview his given over the year he seems to hate the character of OG Jean. I wouldn't be surprised if Young Jean stayed around given that's the version of the character he wants. Of course it's Bendis so his run ain't going to to end for another 5/6 years or so. He hated the Wasp too but he went out of his way to bring her back right at the end of his run.

Rirse posted:Since the Age of Apocalypse is on sale right now at Comixology for a dollar per issue, I am wondering which issues are worth grabbing from it. So far it looking like Alpha & Omega along with Astonishing X-Men are the main parts of it, but any of the side stuff like X-Calibur, Gambit, X-Man, etc are worth grabbing? It all tells one big story, plots from each book carry into the finale. I'd recommend getting everything except the Chronicles issues.

He has an artistic skill that few artists have ever come close to grasping. I've never seen anyone utilize negative space the way he has. And his ability to draw larger than life, believable heroes is unmatched. Plus there's this

I have since read many great Avengers stories by many great artists, but there's still few to equal that one. You should check out both JLA the Nail minis and Superboy's Legion. Few artists can juggle large casts as well as he can.

Red posted:My parents definitely made it clear that I didn't get to get a toy every time we went to the store, but they were fine if I ever asked for a comic book. Part of it was that comics were super cheap in the 80s, it meant that me reading it gave them some quiet, and they really really wanted me to read as much as I wanted. I got plenty of comics and traditional books. This is why I have 10,000 back issues priced at $1 each.

We had parents drop their kid in our store and he wandered off and they found him in a Wal-Mart hours later. And once a kid left alone and he wiped out and cracked his head on the tile. I'd love to put a "no unsupervised children" sign up but we get so many kids in on their own and they spend every penny they have in their pockets. It's so stressful.

You know, Fatal Attractions sucks balls but the X-Force issue was actually pretty good. There's this touching (for a 90's comic) scene where Cable and Cannonball come to terms with all of the lies Cable fed them over the past two years and it ends with the team unified in a new way. Sadly this only lasted until AoA but I'll always love that brief run of comics.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Since someone mentioned it earlier, is Assault on Greymalkin worth a read? I haven't read any of that X-Force stuff since I was a kid, but I generally like Fabian Nicieza as a writer and Cable as a character. It's original, old school X-Force and has work by pre spawn Greg Capullo which is very clean and decent looking artwork. There's a ton of sub plots that are introduced that never get any resolution so be prepared for that as well. Oh and Cable's not in that arc.
