Yea but Scott's a jerk...wait that makes him more of a heir of Xavier than anyone.

Seriously though, making Jean the defacto head of Mutants gives her agency that she's never really had. At least she won't just be pawn of space firebirb or Scott's girlfriend.

I can buy it as Storm is supposed to be this super model statuesque goddess. Jean always seemed to be cute girl in your class/lived next door type.

Is there more than one issue of What If Magik?

Thanks for the recommendations for All New Wolverine. Crushed through it over the last few days. It's great. Especially Gabby. She's a character that in a less skilled writer's hands I would hate but I love her.

My LCS got a new manager and she mostly read indie comics and she was asking me for some Marvel stuff to recomend, and I told her AN Wolverine. She told me today she had read everything up to the most recent x-23 issue. That was a week ago.

I did have to explain to her about who the Cockoos were though.

I am interested in that one that has the kids. Looks like Tempest is on the team. The Apocalypse one makes it look like he's become an artist.

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.

I'd have had no problems with killing Cassandra, but this is probably a better punishment.

So when Kitty and Ben has a Hanukkah, does Magneto get invited?

I think Wanda is probably more embracing of her Romani heritage than Pietro, though Red Skull literally says "A Mutant, a Jew and A G-word..." but that's some nazi's opinion, that didn't come up at all in her solo series.

Pietro is such an edgelord he doesn't believe in nothin, man. Lorna I think they're keeping his daughter.

I loved the X-mansion White Elephant. I want that signed Dazzler poster.

So only after, what 8 issues Uncanny actually does something interesting? I haven't hated it, but I've certainly being buying it because I'll always buy the mainline X-men comic more than anything.

He just felt like a background character to me, as I never read that X-factor run. That was the time where if it wasn't Wolverine it wasn't going to interest me.

Squirrel Girl, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver was it,. but really, did they have anything to do with them being mutants? SG was more of a joke character and the Maximoffs were always Avengers adjecent outside of their first appearances and some one offs.

Quicksilver is more known for his stint in X-factor than anything.

Though their in universe roles don’t really matter to my point which was to try and get characters they could out of the way.

I’m surprised people are so defensive about an obvious thing.

I think most peoples minds mutant = X-men and their villains.

Or they just should have left Logan dead and actually treated Laura like Wolverine.

That's what I wanted from the start. I like Logan being back, but I would have prefered if Laura just straight up was Wolverine. Being salty with the team leader, drinkin' beer, chewing on cigars, calling people knucklehead and banging everything.

Molly Hayes and Honey Badger headlining a student book. Printing money.

Yea I really want a book that focuses on young characters right now. West Coast kinda scratches that it, but I'd rather see Kate and America having to heard a bunch of teenagers.

That was a best issue of Uncanny in a while. God drat they're putting Maddrox through the wringer lately.

I am so into Illyana's dress at the Funeral.

But i'm confused, X-23 is still going, but they list both Laura and Gabby among the dead. Going to assume this is one of those "don't think about it too hard" things.

That's what I figured, Logan that's currently going to rescue Thor either already has, or is going to be hacking up Not Purifiers.

The "who's Emma Frost" thing is the first real hook so far in this series that is getting me excited for the next issue, though Emma being evil again is not something I want.

I don't want to over hope what could happen, but based on Hickmans Avengers we could see something akin to classic Claremont era. Without the weird fetish stuff.

Schism was something that I thought would hate. Then the break up story was really good and I thought I would love it. It turned out I was right. I hated the Cyclops half of he divide and loved the Wolverine half.

So who do you think will tragically die in the last issue of Uncanny?

I think Dani, because it seems Rosenberg has something against characters that I like. Maybe Magik but I doubt Marvel would let him.

Better not kill off Illyana. The only good thing is probably everything that's happened will be undone by Hickman.
