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.

Other than the gun levitation, his powers have been pretty indiscriminate.

I miss the stupid helmet, tho.

so Nightcrawler was really good? I'm confused. Claremont dialed up his early 80s style and owned that first issue.

Doop was loving disturbing. Don't ever do that again, Doop!

Nightcrawler was garbage, who the gently caress said it was good?

I did. You wanna fight about it or something, punk?

Also I didn't like the first trade of All New X-Men so maybe I'm entitled to my lovely opinion.

if anything the X-Men mythos is a reminder of how hosed up things get when you're engaged in an intractable conflict between societies.

X-23. As for the eating of comic I will if Wolverine remains dead longer than 6 months. Oh I am going to regret this, aren't I?

I'd be more down with a Daken redemption story over X-23.

Storm is the most boring X-Man ever and it's Pak so I'm sure every issue won't be "I sure am afraid of tight spaces" but that's all I can think right now.

Page one, Storm is in a box.

Page twenty, Storm lightnings her way out of a box only to find she's in a slightly bigger box.

Disagree. When Claremont wasn't fetishizing her, she was a vibrant dynamic female lead. Former deity twice over and Black Panther's sorta ex-wife, plus sometimes team leader of the x-men, there's tons of story hooks to work with.

Isn't there one bit in early X-Men (it was when Cockrum was still pencilling; I believe it was the first appearance of Black Tom) where the villain's like, "This castle will be the X-Men's tomb!" and the mention of the word "tomb" causes Storm to have a full-on panic attack? I'm pretty sure I can remember reading that.

Is Storm's claustrophobia still a major part of her character?

They dropped the castle on her and Colossus made the save, leaving them trapped for a bit.

Yeah Cyclops was a grade A fun book and despite not caring about young X people in the present I am down for the Space Adventures of Errol Flynn trying to figure out how to raise his son.

And I like Scott getting to appreciate having his father back while still a kid, even for a little bit.

Agree 70000% Fun book, can't wait to see where they end up.

Hah, I loved that event. I recently found it in my boxes and realized how sweet that was written. Also, Namor getting flattened by a Shark.

Warbird also banging Doop, a lot.

Speaking of Doop, did they cancel his miniseries completely?

E: nope. Issue 2 drops this week.

Goddamnit, why is Loki standing with a bunch of villains.

His solo series would be a pretty good indicator of what's up. Loki's gotta Loki, mang.

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?

X-man and X-calibre are my faves but to get the full story, you really gotta get em all. Its 90s as gently caress but the story holds well.

So how was Battle of the Atom?

I thought it was stupid but its Bendis's X-men level stupid that some people are into.

Then again I like Nightcrawler.
