Nuns with Guns posted:Larua's probably a twentysomething at this point. But maybe being a wolverine clone throws that all off? I got from the Team Up Issue that Kate and Laura are the same age. There's a trailer for Return of Jean Grey on Marvels youtube channel, and its kinda interesting, in that a big part of it will be that so much has changed since Jean as died for the most recent time that her dealing with it will be a major part. Though not really, because Logan isn't dead anymore.

Jean Grey is pretty solid, and I'm sorry its going. Blue and Gold borrowing a lot from old school xmen probably helped me get through it and forgive it.

rantmo posted:The only X-book I have dropped completely is Old Man Logan because I'm sick to death of Logan and I hate the way OML supplanted Laura, the best Wolverine. Part of my unwavering dedication to some extremely marginal/bad X-books is that I've read the entire franchise and I'm just committed to it now. I got bored with OML in the Last Ronin storyline, it just was so boring and drawn out.

Cabbit posted:I kind of doubt it's going to stick. "We killed [x]!" leading into a next issue revelation of "Oh, actually, [x] is still alive!" is pretty standard comic book drama. Yea, his head is completely gone, so I dunno. We'll see! Though my thought since they said Jean was coming back, my assumption has been that young Jean and Old Jean were going to merge, and I'm thinking that's exactly what's going to happen from this.

I'm behind due to the xmas week delay in Canada, so just read Pheonix 2, and I'll say Laura stabbing Magneto? with her foot was kinda awesome. Though Diner Erik's star of david kind of looks like a pentagram.

I meant it looked like one at a glance, I think its how tight its around his neck, reminds me of how all the goth girls I know wear them. It is always a star of david.

I literally just read Grand Design and its great. I like this condensed verison of the X-men history, and the artists interpretations of characters is neat. Wolverine and the X-men Vol 1 is amazing, Vol 2 wishes he could be half as good. Like its not bad, its just not as good as the first volume. The thing I love most about it is that Wolverine and the X-men sounds like it should be a balls to the wall action comic, when its almost a wacky high school comedy/drama.

That was great. Pheonix Ressurection was fine. Jean telling the Phoenix to gently caress off was probably the best option rather than a long drawn out fight and by not also bringing Scott back, it means Jean can be some one other than Cyclops physic girlfriend.

As X-men relationships go, that's a pretty low key.

Diet Poison posted:Don't forget Wolverine's son, being written as not-an-rear end in a top hat for possibly the first time ever? I've hated Daken up until this series. Also Gabby's awe at Laura Captain Americaning that guy. Gabby is the best. Oh that reminds me, who was at Sarah Kinney's funeral? Obvs Laura, her aunts, and Gabby, Daken, Logan, Beast, Jubilee and of course JOnathan (who has his own Tux), but who is the blond guy, and the guy with the emo hair, the guy with the black gloves. I assume the blond woman is Carol.

Android Blues posted:In conclusion, while I will accept Kitty getting married to Colossus, I think it is sad that modern authors have not acknowledged Rachel's canonically stupendous gayness. Yea I was legit surprised when they decided to make Kurt and Rachael a thing. Did they not see how she was totally 80s lesbian coded? Even in an alternative version they don't do anything. At least in Secret Wars Illyana ran off with Leah. And this is her typical reaction to guys trying to pick her up

I liked how Future Deadpool was just kind of killed by falling. That reminds me how I was thinking about the X-men Bendis created for that book, they've basically vanished. I was hoping at least Tempest would show up in the background.

Storm just straight up stabs Callisto in the heart, only the Sewer Wizard saves her And yea, her beating the Murder Grandpas is amazing. Not to mention Storm nearly destroyed the world because Doom turned her to Chrome and her claustrophobia went into overdrive and she made all the weather on earth go nuts. In short, Storm is amazing.

Yea, angry mobs out to kill mutant kids are pretty much standard in Marvel. You guys were right though, X-men Red was pretty good, but the art, woof.

So, what's up with the New Mutants? Is it a book that takes place in the past or is Illyana feeling nostalgic and reformed the team and makes everyone fit into their old costumes?

For financial reasons I had to drop some comics, so Blue and Gold were dropped, but I kept Red. I feel like i made the right choice.

Yea, similar thing happened ot the Flop House when Elliot Kalan moved to LA to be head writer of MST3K and probably other projects. First few episodes they didn't iron out the issues, but by now its great. There most recent episode where they talked about the short stories, the one about Nightcrawler made me think of the Castle Anthrax bit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

As long as they build on what ANW did, it won't be terrible. It could even be good, as the team is solid. ANW did a lot to make Laura into her own person, not controlled by trigger scent or her history, but I'm afraid that editorial might make them fall back on it. Though best case with Logan coming back, Laura and Gabby living with him as a family unit would be just fantastic.

I've been firmly in favor in just replacing the current X-men with the younger ones, with the exception of Iceman.

Skwirl posted:Old Angel is still alive I think? Nobody cares about angel. Aphrodite posted:Until Jean came back, Beast and Iceman were the only doubles left. Yep. My thing about Jean and Scott were that they were prisoners of story, and they could never move beyond being a couple and such, but using the younger ones lets them have stories beyond that.

I'm catching up on Jay and Miles and I listened to the Kelly Thompson interview, and I'm going to have to get the trade of Rogue and Gambit because drat, they make it sound like a lot of fun. Also Gambit's balls.

# ¿ May 12, 2018 03:02 |

Yea, that's all the stuff they mention in the podcast that got me interested. Gambit, like all characters created to be cool, always bugged me, and he always seemed like a creep. Not to mention I thought to myself way back then "they only put them together because they're both from the South" and never shook it off. I'll certainly pick up the trade when it comes out. And I'll probably get any marvel book Kelly Thompson writes. Metalshark posted:the first half of the first issue actually makes the School feel like a central hub, and the little interactions between the team members are wonderful. This is something I really want to see in X-men; the school be a bigger part. It should be where everyone hangs out between crazy poo poo, be the place that everything revolves around.

I got my LCS to get me a Rogue and Gambit trade when it comes out in July. I like the time displaced X-men, but the only one I cared about was Jean, but with regular Jean back, their time is up. Oh god the cover for AN Wolverine 35 is so adorable.
