Land can draw as many faces, haircuts, and body types as porn provides. Hell, you're talking about the same Greg Land that drew Sue Storm with multiple haircuts on the same page!

X-Cutioner's Song was great because the epilogue featured Jubilee taking Xavier rollerblading.

Bendis does go back to that well pretty often (and is far more ubiquitous than PAD was even at his peak output), so it's a bit more noticeable. I can certainly see the complaint, though I rather like Bendis.

Norns posted:No, but that sounds like something I want to listen to! Morrison wrote New X-Men. He's talking about New Mutants written by Claremont (then some others) and running concurrently to Uncanny X-Men in the 80s. If you're going chronologically, it won't pick up for awhile.

rkajdi posted:Yeah, I only brought it up because a guy I suggested it to got hyper mad after listening that I'd suggest some "SJW bullshit" to him disguised as a comics podcast. It was an eye-opener about him, but I guess half of the guys out there just want to read power fantasies and ignore any subtext. Especially with X-Men, I don't see how people can do this, given how much the Claremont especially pushed the limit as to what was publishable at the time. It's cool to find out people not to associate with anymore, at least.

I didn't much care for Lemire's Thanos, and dropped it after the first arc. Anyway, Marvel put out the redacted cover for X-Men Red #1. Wolverine is definitely in there. https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/930104418099433472

House of M had two purposes: 1) to remove mutants as their own subculture, because when you do that, it stops being an allegory for real-world subcultures; and 2) to remove "mutant" as an origin since it was lazy. That virtually no major character was actually depowered as a result of HoM makes it clear this was their actual intention. It was never to make there be fewer mutant characters.

Her surrogate mom may have been Asian (I don't recall), but that doesn't matter in the slightest since there's no actual blood relation between the two. Similarly, her DNA is entirely Wolverine who is a Canadian, so neither Hispanic nor Latinx.

The X-Men Gold Annual was pretty fun, and it was great to see Excalibur back together, though I'm not sure Guggenheim really got their personalities. Brian, in particular, just kind of came off as a doofus. Still, it was better than I would have expected from Guggenheim. There was some weird contradictions, though, with Maggie. Meggan complains that she's already smarter than her, but then she has to ask what a baby and blue are.

Wolverine and the X-Men is uneven. When it's good, it's great. When it's not, it's that circus arc, or stuck in Battle of the Atom. It's definitely not like Thor at all if that's what you're going for.

The circus arc's problem was that it was about twice as long as it needed to be.

I mean, if you're only concerned about Wolverine, then yeah, you're probably not going to get your money's worth buying $4 comics for two page backup nonstories, but the ones they're contained in (or at least the ones I've read) have been good comics on their own.

The Question IRL posted:The earliest I can remember is in the Claremont/ Jim Lee X-men. Gambit star5s flirting with Rogue by the pool in issue 4. One of the first comics I bought. Yeah, this is where it started, and it may have been a Jim Lee idea, since by that point, Claremont was barely writing the comic.

cant cook creole bream posted:I'm not that well versed in the xmen stuff and I've had a question for a while now. Who eyactly is Rachel? As far as I can tell, she's sone sort of alternate reality daughter of Jean, who is pretty much the same age. Is that right? She was used as a "hound" which is a mutant used to find other mutants. When she first came to the current timeline, Jean was thought dead.

# ¿ Feb 5, 2018 22:34 |

As I recall, she returned to the present when Cable killed Apocalypse and stopped his timeline from ever happening, so rather than popping out of the timestream in the far future, Rachel got stuck for awhile and I think Cable found her?

Skwirl posted:Kitty went and joined/formed Excalibur because she thought all of the other X-Men were dead. I don't think she was part of other X-teams in a major way until Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, but I could be wrong. Marvel uses a shifting timeline but even ignoring that that's a 15 some odd year gap, that's a lot of other poo poo happening that makes you forget old wounds. She went to college for a bit and at some point had a bad costume with one of Wolverine's broken bone claws.

I had to check on that since he's fairly prolific and has worked for Marvel a lot and yeah, the only X-book he's written is Spider-Man and X-Factor in 1994 (which I've never even heard of until now).
