That seemed Sentry inspired in the best possible way.

I'm glad they mentioned the Rogue as Legacy thing because that was one of the best uses of her character ever.

Paul O'Brien, who has reviewed X-comics for more than a decade, puts it better while reviewing Uncanny #17:

I don't even remember Storm and Daredevil joining.

Magneto #2 was a cool book, it's nice to see him kicking rear end again.

Although it's a little funny that they acknowledge that his powers are screwed up, yet he seems to be able to do whatever he wants anyway.

He seems to mostly be using smaller stuff in general. Nails, a gun, not throwing around cars or whatever.

What's the line?

"Big is good. You can't beat butter with a toothpick my grandma always said."

I remember age of x coming out of pretty much nowhere but being interesting and making legion relevant again, which lead us into the recent aweosme legacy run.

The Rogue as Legacy was neat in AoX, though I didn't particularly enjoy that run of the series. Never been a big Rogue fan.

He was right. He can't be currently right because he currently has authority over QQ.

I want to like Storm's daughter but Avengers just brought back the future children of the Avengers and it's all people with two super hero parents and one of them is her not brother and we have enough lovely teenage heroes without pulling random ones out of the future for no reason.

It felt like he shoehorned a random Warren Ellis Idea onto the X-Men.

And they just brought a random group of "All the Avengers hosed, here are their kids" children from the future in Avengers world. Because we needed ANOTHER future/alternate timeline child of the couple that just broke up.

She wasn't a teenager or anything. Bendis addressed it and said it was more the teacher/student thing that was off-putting on it. Now she's more his peer.

But it's really no worse than say, Layla Miller and Madrox. Or Hope wanting to get with Fantomex.


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?

I picked up X-Force 9 and that is not a book you can just figure out in the middle, I have no clue what's happening. I guess meme is Hope? But Cable doesn't know? But he refers to her as his daughter at the end?

From what I remember Meme is comatose and her power lets her leave her body as a digital thing. Hope is in a suspended state of some sort in the same room and is duping memes power and calling herself meme in the field.

Cable and Hope both were infected with a fatal weapon thing, Hope is being kept suspended to keep her alive, Cable is being cloned every day.

Spider-Man and the X-Men feels like the first Vol of Wolverine and the X-Men nice light and fun. Almost like Marvel Adventures Spidey, also what was up with the artist drawing Storm like she had diahrea face almost the whole time? Is she still inverted in this story?

I think inverted Storm would just lightning blast him. Everyone all over campus was SUPER dick to spidey, it was starting to get weird.

Shield bullets are actually special bullets designed to give themselves a boost if they can't reach their target, otherwise the extra casing will explode on impact for even more damage and target penetration.

Scott comes back, but it's the Endless Summers from Battleworld: by the end of every issue he's managed to get himself killed in some manner, and is replaced with another Scott.

Funniest unintended consequence of picking up the phoenix force. Too bad they literally just did it with Cable.

The old Cyclops.

The original X-Men were brought forward in time. Young Cyclops is still around, old Cyclops died but probably not really.

He died with Phoenix Force in SW there's no way that doesn't come back into it somehow. They wouldn't write him in like that just to job him to Doom would they?

Demon Bear actually got tamed during that awful short run where Bishop got his mind rewritten so as to no longer be a genocidal madman.

Was that the Cassandra Nova as a demon garbage? I hope they retcon that to just be a generic monster playing on their fears.
