Is the Siege Perilous ever explained in detail?

irlZaphod posted:I'm not sure what gives you that impression, it was all fairly clearly plotted/planned from the get-go. Yeah. Everything about the Outback Era was really done over the long haul. The table in the control room or whatever had each X-Man's face on it, serving as a checklist (to Havok, anyway) of the X-Men who've died, and who's remaining. Getting everybody into the Siege Perilous set the stage for the Reavers/Wolverine showdown, and the Reavers had been planning to attack over several issues.

Skwirl posted:It's definitely not the only reason, but the fact that kids can't afford to buy their own comics is a huge factor in kids not buying comics. I got into Spider-Man when it had as many titles as X-men and if it weren't for fact that my dad foolishly bought into the comic boom there's no way my parents would have been willing to pay that much a month to keep up with them (Clone Saga). 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. Are comics too expensive for parents?

Rhyno posted: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. Get a cardboard stand-up of Thor or Batman or something, and tape a little word bubble to his head that says: "Attention Parents: We are not babysitters."

Rhyno posted:There was supposed to be a huge push for "ugly" or "gross" mutants back in the 90's several times. The first one gave us Chamber, Skin and Husk who even though she was a hot blonde her power was gross. Later we got Random and and Maggot and even later Beak and the new Angel. I feel like it was implied, whether in the cartoon, movie, or 80s/90s comics, that only a small percentage of the world's mutants actually had powers. In one episode of the 90s cartoon, the Friends of Humanity harass a mutant couple who are odd-looking, but don't have any powers. Was that true across all mediums, or just a conclusion I drew myself?
