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.

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.

S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:Yeah, that carnival Arc came out of no where, and was aggressively bad. Which is unfortunate because the rest of the run is really good. I believe even the phoenix 5 event gave us crab whales! There's a weird thing with X-men and circuses, but then half of Marvel's silver age characters were all carnies, so who knows? I did like Kitty being really confused on why she was dressed like a cowgirl for most of the issue though.

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.

Naw, Peak Claremont is during Asgardian Wars when Amora captured Illyana, and uh...stuff happens. http://imgur.com/a/rNSMO I don't think this is where Magik became my favorite of the New Mutants, but I hope its not.

Skwirl posted:Since her first trip to Limbo there's no important part of Illyana's history that isn't, at best, problematic. Yea I tend to focus more on current, slightly crazy lady with a big sword, Magik. I do miss her bangs though. Teen Storm is also what introduced Gambit. Though he wasn't skeevy to her, just noticed her natural ability at theeving. Even thought Gambit is like the bar on 5th street, they don't ask for ID, and nether does Gambit, ya hear?

Wanderer posted:IIRC, she was meant to be a sheltered 18 when she went to Xavier for help. Which I find weird because the first time I know I saw her was when Wolverine and the then depowered Ms Marvel go to the Pentegon and run into her  She sure as hell looks older than 18. My guess is she just got younger as she drained more peoples abilities. Or the artists wanted another hot redhead on the team, and every time she was drawn she grew younger until we got the Jim Lee Bombshell Rogue that we all know and love. Gambit is more bearable in his early appearances, but he's still the herald of the 90s.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, reading her original stuff she's definitely older than say, Colossus. Early 20's at the youngest when she first starts hanging with the X-Men. She certainly de-ages over her appearances though. Excalibur would be great to see again. Though I don't know if they could capture the pure craziness of the Claremont series. Though I'd hope they'd be smart enough not to try to replicate that, and let it be its own thing.

Speaking of Queer Subtext, Rachael being totally into Nightcrawler, especially when Kitty is currently available. WTf! Unless they're preparing for Kitty/Illyana to become a textual thing and not a subtext. Dark Phoenix gets a lot of love, but Brood Saga is also excellent, and also Claremont is why Carol Danvers is my favorite Super Hero. There issue featuring Her and Wolverine fighting Rogue was one of the first X-men comics I read as a kid.

He also constantly refuses to take any credit for xmen evolution and seems to not actually want to discuss the show. It's weird. Their Claremont interview is pretty fantastic though.

I have zero problem with Emma going nuts and being evil, because the one good thing in her life is gone, and she sees a chance to recapture it. It's totally a bad guy thing to do. I loved Heroic Emma a lot, but I am cool with this.

It feel like the natural character progression based on Emma's actions in Death of X, and it's not unlike Emma in her early apperances as head of the Mass Academy. I mean wasn't she one of the multiple blond women who try to seduce Kitty?. I also want to point out that when I say "I am cool with this", that means "I accept this" not "I like this".

Wasn't Emma controlled Scott getting people killed and escalating everything way beyond what was necessary? I might be misremembering the series, but I don't have any desire to revisit it. I'd rather just admit I am wrong that slog through that bland mini again.

Aphrodite posted:Emma never controlled Cyclops. She made a psychic projection of him after he died in Death of X to fulfill his plan to destroy the cloud. Alchemy died, but he knew that going in and it was a sacrifice play. The fake projection Cyclops also died there, she let Black Bolt kill "him" to build more of a conflict between the two sides. Yea, that's what I meant, and for some reason I thought Fake Scott gathered a huge group of jobber X-men and they were killed. Just this one trick will free mutants forever, Inhumans hate it!

Rochallor posted:That was New Mutants 63, the very first comic book I ever read. I picked it out of my uncle's collection because there was a girl in a spacesuit with a sweet looking laser gun on the cover. When J&M covered it, they pointed out that although the story apparently actually happened, it was told as like a memory within a dream within a flashback for some dumb reason. Wasn't it Illyana who got sucked into the dream/vision thing and she was confused why Kitty and the rest didn't recognize her?

Roth posted:Rachel and Kurt bothers me with how incredibly out of nowhere it is. I know these our superhero stories focused on action and aimed primarily at teenage boys, but I really wish we could get some romances that are actually developed decently, and not just: "Oh, I guess this is a thing now" Yea I can accept Kitty and Pietor getting back together, as there is history there, but Rachael and Kurt feels like they looked at one of those "who hosed who in the marvel universe" and realizing they're the only ones who haven't banged out of the X-men. I don't think I've ever once seen Rachael have any interest in anyone in all the X-men I've read.

Skwirl posted:Read Claremont Excalibur, Rachel and Kitty were as much a thing as you could get away with in 1989. Well yea, I've listened to Jay and Miles from the start. Claremont straight up said that Kitty and Rachael are the ultimate pair, though I'm with them reading it Kitty and Illyana. But that's probably because I just really like Illyana.

Also when it looked liked they were all going to become Brood, Kitty tries to sleep with Pietor and he's all "Hell no, you are still way too young". Because Colossus is just good of a dude.

Diet Poison posted:I know right? Best Generations one so far. I did literally just finish the Hawkeyes one, which was pretty good too, but not on the same level. Only a weiner would tear up though. I mean, there was a lot of dust in those pages and that dust got into my eyes, and tearing up is a totally acceptable reaction to dusty eyes. Similarly, when I just rewatched Logan, during the end when she calls him "daddy" as he dies, some tear gas from a nearby riot came through my balcony screen door and affected me for several minutes. I've only also bought the Hawkeye one. I think i'll track down the Thor one and get the Ms Marvel one once it comes out. I was wary of the whole thing from the start, as I saw it as having an "event" so quickly after Secret Empire, but just from its unfair to suggest that it's anything like that.

Although I did read the post-death thing where Mystique was trying to get his preserved corpse before Mr. Sinister or something. I'm just wondering where his body is nowadays? Does anyone mention it? Is it sitting in some library at the X-mansion? I like to think Deadpool keeps it in his spare bedroom.

CharlestheHammer posted:One day I will figure out what people see in that pairing. Yea, I always felt Logans obsession with Jean was super creepy and not cool. Like even loving Hawkeye got over Wanda eventually, but its seen as some tragic romance, even thought its really clear Jean wants to be with Scott and that's that. They at least let Scott have other relationships, let Jean have some. Maybe she can date like, I dunno, Sam Wilson or Hercules. And yea, I'm down with that Jean outfit. It's retro enough to let me forgive some of the sillyness. Though on the other hand, I have zero interest in Jean returning, i'm enjoying young Jean too much.
