Synthbuttrange posted:im really bummed because Krakoa was a really neat sci fi setting. I am not ready to say goodbye to Krakoa. I absolutely loved it, and it got me back into comics. Perfect mix of high concept scifi and light politics. On the other hand, its also nice to have an ending. Gillens killing it in that regard. I'll stay optimistic and read the first few issues of the next stuff but so far it looks similar to the boring stuff before Krakoa.

Saoshyant posted:Krakoa made us believe Zeb Wells was a great writer. I am reading X-Factor right now. Williams managed to shove a ton of story into each issue. Feels like I've read 2-3 issues worth each time, but in a good way.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Moira's heel turn was something that was decided on after Hoxpox but before Hickman decided to leave wasn't it? I'm not clear on the timing of everything behind the scenes. Moira turned heel during Inferno. I dont have a source but I believe I read an interview with Duggan stating he wanted to "bring villains back into the story." I imagine if Hickman remained, she would have stayed as an antagonist but not the mustache twirling psycho she turned into.

Maduo posted:I would argue this is exactly how half the X-writers treated Krakoa. Not to say they disengaged with the ethnostate reading entirely but after a certain point lines like X-Factor and New Mutants only engaged with the ruling body of Krakoa with letters on the data pages that summed up to "kindly gently caress off and let me enjoy my queer found family please." Nothing wrong with that. Not every title has to be foot flat on the ethics/politics accelerator.

Rand Brittain posted:Professor X as he appears in House of X and Powers of X is a supervillain. Like, the art is clearly giving him villain coding. Ominous maybe. To give the reader a feeling of unease or "this aint right..". But not a supervillain.

Sesq posted:So if I'm understanding this right, if Professor X, who does not appear in any of the future lineups, were to say... mysteriously die after taking out Enigma and before telling anyone about "Cypher", then Sinister can make a clean getaway. Yeah. However, my prediction for the ending is Xavier replaces Enigma as a Dominion to stop anyone else from becoming one. As part of that, he erases Essex from the timeline. Wishful thinking maybe, but there's been stupider stuff happen in Krakoa

Rick posted:I think this would be pretty cool. I don't think they leave either of these dudes off the table for long but it would still feel like a nice end. Thats what I thought the vault was set up for honestly. Then Stasis did it instead I think I was overly cautious with the tags then but just incase anyone isnt caught up.

Regarding issue 3 of Rise of the Powers of X: Xaviers team know Sinister had a failsafe set up to reset the timeline in +10 (when Dr Stasis attempted to ascend). Kind of risky and impulsive to kill Sinister then, isnt it Rasputin? Unless I'm misremembering something about the Moira engine?

Codependent Poster posted:Why would you think he's not gonna be that? Do you think McKay is gonna ignore this story? Have you read what he's writing? Do you know he's totally ignoring this issue and gonna write Magneto at odds with this? We got a loose Brevoot in here Magneto resurrected as a young and fit man but in the released From The Ashes material appears old and more frail. Doesnt fill me with confidence either

Heavy Metal posted:Maybe I'm missing something, take when Magneto joined the X-Men for good around Utopia era. Was he too wizened for you there? He seemed as kick rear end to me as ever, I don't get it. You need some babyfaced Magneto? Why is that in the deal here? And they're not aging further, as is the way in Marvel, so there's no reason to de-age anybody. I cant answer for other guy but i dont understand why Marvels keen to throw away Magnetos ENTIRE krakoan story

Dead X-Men #4 was fun. We get to see Orbis Stellaris dominion attempt, which wraps up how all 4 tried to ascend. I am convinced that part of the issue was originally intended to be in X-Men Red if it had more time. Fall of the House of X #4, wow Xavier is a jerk. What the gently caress man. Also kinda curious why Xavier is wearing different costume in this than in Rise? Am I misunderstanding when Rise takes place?

site posted:fall was just not very good writing wise as has already been discussed, but one thing i couldn't help but notice the whole way through is that this is like, The End, of the krakoa era and they don't even bother having a big time, good artist on it. i kept looking at the page and thinking this is barely functional c tier book kinda stuff Yeah Wernecks art feels as rushed as the writing. However, EVERY issue has some standout panels/pages that are really good. The half page Cyclops using blast on Omega Sentinel was really dynamic and nice. Silva is crushing it on Rise.

Not that many people know about dominions right? I remember Sinister tried warning the council but I'm not sure if they know what he was talking about. Maybe Xavier will be prisoner X cos noone knows he stopped Enigma 🤷♂️

Air Skwirl posted:I am interested in his Wolverine because I mostly know him for writing books with teenage heroes like Ms Marvel and Miles Morales Spider-Man. His Daredevil started alright, as Zdarsky left him a hell of a new status quo to run with. It has quickly gone downhill into a mediocre run
