Wanderer posted:I can't help but keep thinking that yes, okay, mutant resurrection is totally a thing, but that don't mean that kid who saw her mom get shot in the face in front of her isn't gonna be in mad therapy for the rest of her life. "A Can Of Worms" could the the title of Xavier's autobiography.

I feel the same about X-Men being disjointed. I liked each individual issue but right now the whole is less than the sum of the parts. I guess the timelines aren't necessarily linear or in sync but I also felt it was odd that Xavier's resurrection was addressed in X-Force two issues later rather than in any of the intervening X-books. It looks like New Mutants 1 was Hickman/Brisson, 2 was just Hickman, and 3 was just Brisson, which might have something to do with the shift in tone. I preferred 1 and 2 to 3 as well.

Dawgstar posted:FF/X-Men was pretty entertaining, even if I'm kinda cooled on Dodson's pencils. Loved it having at least one callback to the '87 miniseries which was really good but nobody talks about anymore. I liked it and I thought the art was generally fine.  Generally. Marauders was good too, thanks for the history lesson upthread.  Love that cat. Chinston Wurchill fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Feb 5, 2020 |

twistedmentat posted:Wow, Reed, what the gently caress. The timeline on FF/X is a bit confusing. Pyro doesn't have his face tattoo so it's either before that happened in Marauders or after he died and was resurrected at some point yet to happen in Marauders. Or that's just a consistency error. In any case, probably best not to think about it too much.

Cabbit posted:What's the logic there, precisely? That if people spend a month buying digital comics they'll realize exactly how obsolete brick and mortar shops are? If people buy the digital version of a given comic while stores are closed they won't buy the print version when stores open up? It's not necessarily all that helpful but I guess there's some show of solidarity at least.

Things are ramping up to X of Swords this week, and some threads from earlier in the run are being picked up again. Read Excalibur before X-Men.

I wonder if they'll ever get to some of the philosophical issues of the resurrection protocol? Even a perfect copy is just a copy, and the original consciousness/brain is gone. Maybe in Way of X?

Great X-Force this week! A very nice balance of comedy, action, and emotional, with a cliffhanger that left me wanting more. SWORD was good too. Excalibur was probably my least favourite but it was still fine.

Cartridgeblowers posted:2. Why is no one talking about the best part of the issue, which is Wolverine making GBS threads his pants in Wild Child's hallucination. "OH HELL NO! It's Wild Child. The BIG DOG!" made me cackle. I couldn't help reading this as Micheal Cole calling Roman Reigns and I was equal parts amused and disappointed in myself.

 If giant-sized is 30-35 pages (current run) and 48 pages (past runs), how many pages is planet-sized?! Anyway, it's Gerry Duggan so I'm in.

Daken shouting "see you tomorrow" when sacrificing himself to Morrigan was an amusing moment in today's X-Factor. Children of the Atom didn't grab me but I'll give it a chance to grow. It would probably help if I was remotely familiar with the main characters.

BrianWilly posted:Am I understanding the ending right that these kids aren't actually mutants? I started to get that impression about halfway in what with the Cerebro thing, but that penultimate page is frankly not super coherent. That was my impression. I also found the fight scene at the start of the issue to be difficult to follow at times.

Wouldn't the new Laura have no recall of her life in the Vault? Kind of puts a damper on the bit at the end if so. Cool issue though! The timelines were an interesting story telling device.

Endless Mike posted:I like X-Force but it doesn't seem to have a point? There's no real through-line other than Beast being a poo poo. The Many Deaths of Quentin Quire are enough to keep me coming back awhile longer. I'm not all that invested in Cable's bigger picture but there are some nice little character moments. This week's Marauders was my first encounter with Bliss and...I'm not sure how I feel about them.

One small thing I liked about Way of X was the mutant slang. It's a nice way to show how they're developing their own culture.

rantmo posted:Wolverine having a weaponized, Adamantium surfboard is incredibly stupid in a way I cannot help be delighted by. I agree that Logan has his own book for him to be in focus on though. I like the Quire/Phoebe stuff at least. SWORD ruled rear end, Wiz-Kid owns (admittedly, my Wiz-Kid loves comes largely from Jay and Miles' coverage but still he's a cool character) and the last page was rad. I was reading up on Wiz-Kid mostly to figure out how he has acquired dyslexia (which is extremely rare) and came across this gem: quote:Discovering that the three mutants were too old for his purposes, N'astirh ordered them killed. Takeshi was able to save their lives only by displaying his mutant technoforming ability. N'astirh then ordered him to create a supercomputer which would allow him to cast several spells at once, layering his magic. This computer increased N'astirh's power exponentially, allowing him to open a portal between Limbo and Earth more quickly, accelerating the speed at which Limbo's inhabitants could spill out. Computers! I wasn't able to figure out how he ended up with dyslexia.
