Haven't checked in since like the Hellfire Gala and the Moira escaping series which I didn't like, any good runs similar to the comedy, well honed continuinty, and surprising maturity of X-Men Dark Web and that team Sinister led that had the egg lady in it? Love to catch up. My first thought is to finally read X-Men Red since alot of you people seem to like it and Al Ewing wrote it?

Those panels reminded me that I started reading X-Men Red and found it to be that grim, overly serious and frankly boring retread of seeing mutants get their poo poo pushed in before someone makes a speech for two pages and the bad guy with a thousand kill count (and in this case a billion) doesn't get killed for it because they are going to be used in future books. Then realized I was reading the first volume of it and there's a second one that's way more interesting and innovative written by Ewing. Bit man I was confused for a while on why ppl recommended it. Also really liking Way of X so far. Made me want to go back and finish up those Xmen legacy Legion comics I read partway.

Cuz I had to drop that. He feels like he would be the worst person to have a conversation with.

you know whose Wolverine run I love and is memorable as hell? Wolverine: The Best There Is. It's pretty out of control, written by Charlie Huston.

my recent x-men run somehow turned, from seeing Legion and what was going on with him, to a New Mutants OG read. And I have to say like 12 issues in, it's real cool to see these characters grow in their abilities and confidence. And it's cool this is from the teenage experience (from a middle-aged pen). But they should rename it New Mutants: Go Off Somewhere to Cry. Lol, it's every issue has one of this kids need to find a forest to pour one out for themselves

rantmo posted:Nicieza is loving great and a massive part of the X-line in the 90's. His Cable and Deadpool run is a necessity and prob responsible for the latter's popularity I say without any proof. The way it ends is brutal too with Cable going on about the lack of permanent change or growth in his world (aka comics as he his character is reverted back to BIG GUY WITH BIG GUN because another creative team wants to use him).

So why did Hickman leave? Seeing where Moira ended up feels like some things got botched. Would have loved to see a Claremont like run from him.

Oh so he would have ended it earlier. Then I'm glad that didn't happen! I was just really pleased at something that changed the status quo so much.

NikkolasKing posted:I have some interest in reading Decimation through Schism or AVX when I'm done with Krakoa. It definitely has its fans, although a lot of detractors, too. I was just remembering how good Wolverine and the Xmen was. Had a tone all its own And X Force was real good (and batshit) up to the Necrosha arc. X Force when you think about it prob had the best x run thru multiple writers in that period of time.

Edge & Christian posted:I think it was well received in the abstract, but also was only six issues released across 18 months and then the book bounced around between the Knaufs or a single Knauf or Christos Gage or Stuart Moore or etc. for a couple of years before it petered out as a secondary book to Fraction/Larocca's new Iron Man series that coincided with the first movie. Compared to Brubaker Captain America or Bendis Avengers, it sold less/didn't last as long/came out slower/is generally less remembered. I really liked those Knauf books and thought they were better than Elliss which really didn't amount to much. A real good companion to Brubaker's work in Captain America which were uniformly excellent.

man those new mutants comics where they were getting killed literally by the busload were grim. I hope that this isn't a return to that sort of cheap drama but awful outcomes for anyone not famous enough. like multiple young mutants got shot in the back of the head in a short amount of time.

NikkolasKing posted:This "there was no morality on Krakoa" is a weird idea I've seen a few times as I've bounced around the X community the past month or so. I dunno why. I think he's had a lot of development that "softened" him over the years and don't forget he was the head of the Xaviar school for awhile, Wolverine and the X-Men by Jason Aaron, definitely worth a read. He's always been a idealist who loves doling out lessons to those he takes under wing, him being a mentor just an important and continuous characteristic of Wolverine as having adamantium claws and being the best at what he does, etc. E: and that's why he's content to do all the murdering, because that way the rest of Xavier's dream is uncorrupted.

Lol. But really, the inability of comic characters to ever permanently change has driven me put of mainstream comics many a time.
