I feel like I might have said this last month, but goddamn I really dig the art on Weapon X right now.

It was just a two-issue fill in, the regular artist is coming back next month, but yeah it was super jarring at first and then really grew on me.

"Mediocre, but Serviceable - The Greg Land Story"

it made me laugh when i realized the cover of the next issue of Weapon X is the new team line up, drawn by Rahzzah, tearing through the cover of the first issue, which was drawn by Land.

So are they getting rid of the darn time displaced X-kids yet in this relaunchboot? That's my Moby Dick right there, I only need one Jean and Scott and whatnot, except for special weird occassions, let's get rid of the kids. Are we getting rid of the kids?

well it's interesting you use the Moby Dick comparison because the point of Extermination is that Ahab wants them dead too

the ending of Mystery in Madripoor where Psylocke got her old body back also showed Kwannon alive in her old body again too so presumably they told Zub they had plans for that in the future but its comic books y'all, who knows

I'm more concerned about the narrative beat of teen Bobby nobly stuffing himself back into the closet for the good of reality, which is an extraordinarily bad look for a book coming out in the waning days of 2018.

i think brisson thought he was doing it gently with that last scene between young bobby and old bobby but B O Y

You could give that concept to Dennis Hopeless and have a fine old time, if they let it alone.

drawn by Phil Noto, because who else could you get to draw the 90s but done to look like the 60s

I read the X-Men Holiday Special. The Jubilee connecting story was fun, although I'd forgotten that she had a kid. And was/is a vampire. I've always assumed that Christmas based comics like this are produced both for longtime fans and for frantic parents/grandparents to grab to stuff in some kid's stocking. If that's still the case, then the Domino story should have created some interesting discussions round the Yule log.

Anthony Piper also wrote/drew the X-Men Annual story a few years back that was Domino murking an entire anti-mutant militia army base while bantering with Sunspot over the radio and that's the extent of his X-Men body of work so he certainly has an idea of what he likes to do with that universe

I'm going to hunt that down. I liked his art on that page, and I love Domino sooooo

it was the second story in Uncanny X-Men Annual from 2016, specifically.

also I forgot, he has one more thing, which is the flashback pages in issue 3 of the Domino solo series, but that just kind of furthers my point :v:

I'm suddenly thinking back to the episode of Jay and Miles where they interviewed Jordan D. White and he was hyping up this whole thing, and I realized that he became the X-Men group chief editor after the things that I like or liked happening at the time (Weapon X, Domino) had already been decided on and that he's responsible for a lot of bad recent stuff (like Extermination).

I guess what I'm saying is, maybe he's not the right person to be helming this ship.

Alaois
Feb 7, 2012

I will say, I've never been one for the "main" X-Men book or books, my current pulls are all either character specific spinoffs (Domino, though I guess now I have to see if Hotshots is the end of the line or if the solo series reemerges from the conclusion of that, Mr. and Mrs. X, X-23, Shatterstar) or a side-book I'm very, very cautiously optimistic about (X-Force, though including the absolute worst possible version of Deathlok isn't winning me over any). I was actually looking forward to Uncanny after that Jay and Miles episode I mentioned but word of mouth on here soured me on picking it up.

Having re-read it, mostly it's 'Deadpool has a motor-mouth' but he isn't even terribly funny. It honestly feels like Joe Kelly should get more credit for final form Deadpool. I think he was the one who made it implicit Deadpool hates himself. I haven't read the Simone stuff in years so I can't comment, but I've seen her name thrown around as helping DP along too, although I don't think she technically writes Wade that much but that's only because I can't really recall what the twist of Agent X was.

Speaking of 'technically writing the character' it was nice to see Rob shout-out Domino, but was he even on the book when the actual Domino finally showed up? 'Cause when she first appears she's a shape-shifter working with TOLLIVER. (Nicieza being a giant fan of ominous one-word names.)

Nope, and I think the one flashback of Cable's Six Pack days where the real Domino is present was drawn entirely by Mike Mignola so unless there's something I'm missing, you can be incredibly pedantic and say that Rob Liefeld never actually drew Domino :v:
