Synthbuttrange posted:Hm, I wonder why Moira isnt banning time travellers the same way she's doing with precogs. The act of time travel spawning new universes would be my guess. There's a very real deniability when it comes to whatever a multiverse duplicate of yourself is doing.

Everything about New Mutants is tremendous and fills me with joy. Everything about X-Force seemed kinda boring, as has pretty much all X-Force runs I've ever bothered to read

If Fallen Angels were written by Hickman I’d probably be suspecting the same thing people did with Jean about Laura. What purpose does regressing her like 5 years of her best stories serve?? And why is she drawn even younger looking still? Anyway New Mutants and Marauders are tied for the greatest, gently caress everything else

Fallen Angels is incredibly rough, but at the very least it's got equal opportunity rear end shots with Cable?

A one-shot written by X-Plain The X-Men's Jay Edidin, no less! I've never been a huge Cyclops fan, but seeing Jay get the chance to write his absolute favorite rules a whole lot.

The fact that it then cuts to one of those HoXPoX infographic pages right after is just perfect.

So is this week the first instance of incompatible storytelling since HoXPoX started up? Laura's calling herself Wolverine in X-Men #5 and in the vault, even though Fallen Angels #6 is listed after it on the reading order. Everything's been pretty tightly orchestrated up until that, so I wonder if that's just comics being comics or if Poorly Written Laura is actually deliberate somehow.

I know X-Men #7 is meant to explore the conceit of like, "souls" and details of the resurrection stuff a bit more. I can't think of anything else that's been out of chronological order though, so it'd have to mean there was already a second Laura beforehand. Only thing that makes sense to me is that they made some disposable clones specifically for the vault mission and never told anyone. e: actually, nevermind, Armor was at the briefing and in New Mutants at the same time too so I guess they're just playing fast and loose as comics do.

Skwirl posted:So I was reading the older X-Men Legacy stuff, and in it Rogue got control of her powers, so she could touch people without absorbing their powers, but then by the tim Rogue and Gambit and the Mr. and Mrs. X books came out she'd lost it again. When did that happen? I think she gets control of it by the end of Rogue and Gambit?

howe_sam posted:She definitely had a power dampening necklace at the start of Mr. and Mrs. X because she asks Beast to turn it into a tennis bracelet. Right, I had the series backwards. I had to go look it up because it was confusing me, but by the end of Mr. and Mrs. X she goes through a bit in Mojoverse and realizes that her being afraid was the subconscious blocker that kept her from controlling her powers. She still has the bracelet and can wear it in case of like, panic attacks or anything like that (especially since she can absorb multiple people at once, at range, which makes it very dangerous) but she's still mostly in control on her own which is what you see in Excalibur. For the original question, apparently she had lost control after she took Wonder Man's powers a while back.

Kingtheninja posted:Is that it for new mutants? I noticed it wasn't on the latest release schedule at the back of the issue. No idea why it's not on the schedule, but maybe it had something to do with #7 being delayed? #8 is still scheduled for next week at least. My Official X-Book Tier List has firmly placed New Mutants in SS++ tier, though. What a loving great time.

Codependent Poster posted:I really wouldn't worry about it. Hickman usually leaves characters better off when he's done. This is just the start for Wanda. By the end of his run, I'm pretty sure she'll have saved everyone's rear end. I mean I sure hope so because it seems like a pretty big regression from her solo series where she's moving past a lot of this poo poo? So to see her get dragged back down into those weeds sucks. Having Hickman constantly referring to her as a pretender and delegitimatize her sucks. Having Dr. Strange just straight talk down to her sucks. And then having her screw up again and then just like ditch the situation??? Also sucks. Like maybe it's just me but constantly going back to this well to go "lol this woman had an emotional breakdown 20 years ago and now she can't do anything right" feels skeevy as gently caress. Them conveniently ignoring her working to restore poo poo in AvX is also like. Why?

Codependent Poster posted:I'd really just wait. I don't think Hickman is trying to deligitimatize her or anything, and I didn't take it as Dr. Strange talking down to her. Like I said, I really hope that I'm wrong so I'm glad that you're optimistic over it. Even in the best case scenario though, I still think it's lousy to just regress and retread this same lovely ground in service of subverting expectations.

Skwirl posted:I'm curious as to why Nightcrawler was surprised they tried to resurrect Kate exactly 18 times, he definitely knew it was more than once. 18 is significant in Judaism. In Hebrew, the word chai translates to life/alive, and is spelled with two letters that add up to 18 when you assign numbers to their alphabet. I guess this is more of Kurt exploring other religions?

cant cook creole bream posted:Man, guaranteed resurrection is always such a weird plot point. And this will not hold. Sucks to be for the person who happens to be the first one where it doesn't work anymore. Death being a revolving door even before there was a plot device to resolve it is exactly why it ought to stick around.

BrianWilly posted:Aren't Laura and Gabby also clones........sort of? I forget Gabby's circumstance, but Laura was a genetic twin and carried to term by her mom and has a lot of her DNA, so she's not really a clone. Unrelated, but reading X-Men and that poo poo's a loving trip of exposition and me going "uhhh" and "what."

BrianWilly posted:I feel like X-Factor is also glossing up the ability a little to make it stand out. I knew Rachel could project minds through time, including her own, but I don't think I've even heard the term "chrono-skimming" before now. iirc her power is referred to as chronoskimming in Days of Future Past. I wanna say the psychometry came later as an extension of that power? But I don’t think the psychometry was ever referred to as chronoskimming like it is now in X-Factor.

nemesis_hub posted:Can you guys tell me, without going into detail, if part 2 is basically cool and good or not? I won’t be able to pick it up until tomorrow and I’m still wavering on whether or not to go all in. X-Men #12 and the mini issue #1 were both the extremely boring forms of exposition where barely anything happens and some guys recite some proper nouns you don't give a poo poo about. X-Factor was the good form of exposition where stuff actually happens. I'd say pick it up and gauge from this one whether or not you're interested in keeping up with the event.
