I loved that X-Force series, I feel like it never got much love but the whole story it set up with Cable having to clone himself constantly was great.

I enjoyed the first issue of Cable despite it being 100% setup. But him jumping around time collecting weapons that shouldn't belong where they're at should be fun. My favorite Cable run was when he and Hope were traveling through time so I'm ready to see him jumping around again.

I'm on Unlimited time so forgive me if their absence is explained between now and six months ago, but is there a reason Idie and Evan are MIA?

Glad I chose Jean Grey over Generation X. With others on Blue being the better team boook. Was that the first time Hope met Jean? Obviously when Hope first appeared Jean was long dead, but not since the most recent X-force as young Jean was around then. And of Course Illyana's brain is way to hosed up for anyone want to go poking around in, even briefly.

Gen X was the one I was most looking forward to, but yeah, it's been rather mediocre so far. I really dislike the way Quentin is drawn. Also, Jubilee's definitely still a vampire, right? She definitely was like two months ago in Hellcat. But she's spent two issues so far standing around in the sunlight like it's nobody's business.

Quire is passed all this nonsense already - it feels like a retread. Although it was nice seeing Broo again.

I was sort of assuming that Quire is being performative, reestablishing the Quire "brand" for the new regime and all the new people. It's pure head-cannon on my part, but disproportionate pettiness is something I fondly associate with Quentin.

no, I get that. But the way he acted in Thor was pretty much perfect. He did the right thing, but he let everyone knew how beneath him it was and how dumb they were to even try it without him.

I will never get the affection people have for that character, he was such a petty sociopathic gently caress up in his first few appearances I've just never been able to see the attraction.

The new writer on this book is basically new to not only these characters but writing in general. I'd say if you're interested in the book then give her an arc or so to find her voice for the characters.

I don't think it's his appearances in Morrison's run which people like about the character. I mean, he was hopped up on Kick and completely off the rails. It's his subsequent appearances, particularly Aaron's run on Wolverine and the X-Men.

Maybe it's just the fact that I started reading X-men during the weird Australian years, but I loved Quentin for the fact that when he tried to enter the Siege Perilous, it just spat him back out again.

Aarons Quentin is always the definitive for me. That first volume of Wolverine and the X-men is just so fantastic. Its too bad the second really screws the pooch.

I did like Kitty being really confused on why she was dressed like a cowgirl for most of the issue though.

That's sort of funny, because I've never really thought too much about it, but now that you mention it I did find an issue of X-Men featuring Obnoxio the clown at a Half Price Books, and picked it up out of sheer curiosity. Edit: This one

I think like Blob's first appearance was as part of a carnival of crime right? And then after the new team gets introduced, Mesmero mind controls them all into circus freaks before they're kidnapped by Magneto for some ageplay.

Speaking of Quentin Quire, how old is he supposed to be, anyway? I ask because he kissed Idie during the hellfire Academy arc, and she's 14, and i had him pegged closer to 18, so you know, creepy. Of course the same arc had her dressed in leather dominatrix gear.

He, and all the other characters of the Marvel universe, definitely has an age, yes. To try and tease out any more specificity is a road to madness.

Also, I guess he did spend several years as a being of pure energy, so that probably set him back some age-wise..

I have head cannon ages for a lot of people, like Scott, when he went nuts, was 38. Kitty is 25, the New Mutants are for a most part between 21-24, though Sam was 26. School kids were all 16-17, as are the time displaced X-men. It is weird when the comics explicitly say someone age, like in the most recently Scarlet Witch series, she was said to be 26.

Poor, poor, inconsistently-drawn Anole. His whole thing was he had a bad case of one-big-arm for like a decade, then in Extraordinary X-Men Apocalypse Wars he got drat near burned to death and regenerated (off panel as part of a montage to show a year passing) into a jacked lizard-man badass who was like 8 ft tall. Then with no explanation, post-Apocalypse Wars, still in Extraordinary, he was a head shorter than Glob again. Still though, he was built like a teenage superhero, up through the end of the title. Now he shows up in Gold #5, scrawny as me, wearing a drat long-sleeved sweater implying he's not even covered in spikes anymore. Fuckin' no respect for one-half of Marvel's preeminent mutant crimefighting duo.

Anole and Rockslide both deserve more respect, in the comics and out. I mean, they were full-fledged X-Men before that weird time-travel stuff from Apocalypse Wars and now they're back to just sort of hanging around.
