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

Beerdeer posted:The latest Generation X was full of bi/gay storytelling. I don’t remember anything beyond that, including the characters’ names, so they will probably have that same Anole problem. Bling! is a lesbian, I think, like two of the new dudes dated (one of them also dated Quire I think, but that might have just been Quire trying to get those two to hook up in his jerk way, Quire's own preferences were left ambiguous I think). Also Prodigy is bi, I believe.

So I don't know anything about all those Search for Wolverine stories, and the idea of hot claws are still dumb, but: Return of Wolverine was good. This looks like it's going to be an extremely back to basics Wolverine story, and I'm down for that.

We're going to find out that Wolverine actually got his DNA spliced with Pete Wisdom, and he randomly pops hot knives in the shape of claws.

rantmo posted:The most unrealistic part of Shattybuns #1 is the idea that a highschool would perform Titus Andronicus but on the other hand the art actually did a really good job of showing the progress of the play so I! I'm not even mad about it. I really liked that book overall. I actually especially liked how he and Julio's relationship was presented-- in a way that didn't seem like it needed highlighting for the sake of being queer, but also didn't obscure that that's what it was. It was all very normalized, for lack of a better phrasing. That said, I hope nobody ever calls Shatterstar "Ben" again, because that is the silliest loving thing.

twistedmentat posted:I don't want Scott back, because suddenly Jean will become Scott's Girlfriend again because people can't loving let that go and let her be her own character. What about all that time when Scott and Emma were a thing? That's a status quo I wouldn't mind returning to. Honestly though, I want a book and team to last long enough that someone can build a new status quo. It's been nothing but short runs and revolving doors forever.

Dawgstar posted:I'm reminded than in a lot of superhero tabletop RPGs 'telepathy' and 'mind control' are both divided up into different things and that's for the best. That's also to facilitate characters who have mind control powers that are explicitly not telepathic, like the Purple Man and Mad Hatter.

Endless Mike posted:I guess if you ignore that the deal isn't done and X-Men has been continually published, then sure it's true. Far be it for me to defend CharlesTheHammer, but it's entirely possible for Marvel to realize that they could get a bigger bang for their buck putting more emphasis on the properties they have the movie rights for while simultaneously understanding that there are a variety of good reasons to keep publish X-Men books at a decent clip.

I'm finding it a little hard to believe that Disney just winds up all it's little bits and pieces of Marvel and sends them off on their merry way, with no though to how those pieces might interact. It's entirely believable that they're autonomous from each other-- editorial isn't telling licensing anything, licensing isn't directing studios, etc-- but the idea that Disney, of all companies, is not laying out at least some kind of broad overall direction for them with an eye towards making money seems like a bridge too far.

rantmo posted:Yeah, I'm really ready for this run to end. I'm not sure if I'd feel more charitable towards the writing if the art wasn't so loving bad, but since the art is just awful I'm over all of it. I mean, the whole TO virus thing reads like a writer trying to hand wave away a plot point they didn't like from a previous author, but it's the same writer what the gently caress? I'm so over all of this, bring on Hickman and/or literally anyone else. Yeah I've entirely checked out until Hickman shows up. It's pretty clear the dude is going to wipe the board clean and set up a new foundation to build on for years to come, that's what Hickman does. No point in showing up until that happens.

ImpAtom posted:I would say the exact opposite actually. "At the end of my run I don't want anyone or anything to have meaningfully changed in any way" is kind of a depressing thing to read. It is possible to change things without having to 'put the toys back' as it were. I think it's less about not having meaningful change and more about.. y'know, not Rosenberging the whole thing. Having one or two characters swept off the board for a period of time, or some new dramatic shift in the status quo is one thing, utterly decimating the line entirely another. Give the person coming in after you something to work with, not salted earth.

TwoPair posted:AIM (or at least a good percentage of it) turned on him during Secret Empire though, I don't think he has it any more. Or if he does, he needs to get call Jen Walters (or some other super-lawyer) to help retain his brand since at least one group calling themselves AIM just showed up in Wasp. I would love a She-Hulk story where AIM has become the Kleenex of evil super-science.

The Sandman posted:Chances this all turns out to be a side effect of Tony's Snap in Endgame? Only tangentially related, but I've often thought that a great way for them to bring mutants into the MCU is to reveal that we've all been watching an in medias res "No more mutants" situation that somehow has to be reverse in some kind of House of M adaptation.

While Xavier is no slouch in raw power I think he's always relied on technique. He's probably the best trained telepath on the planet, but that's usually a pretext for him getting Worfed by some ridiculously powerful psi.

Moira has to survive somehow or else the prime Marvel Universe is going to be one where she died before her powers manifested. And Mr. Immortal, from the Great Lakes Avengers. God, now I want Hickman to work Mr. Immortal into this somehow.
