This was my first X-Men comic. Let's just say that the backup story where Colossus loses his virginity to a woman from the Savage Land was a little confusing to 9 year old me.

Open Marriage Night posted:Awesome talking heads issue of X-Men. If you haven’t read Hickman’s X-Men yet, this is a good one to check out to see if you like the over all concept. I think this was my favorite issue yet. Every character had at least one badass moment. While talking.

Beerdeer posted:They did that twice. There was a set where only Magik had a decent suit Holy crap, I love both of those Illyana costumes, minus the mask in the second one. I am a big fan of the first appearance of purple and white for Cannonball's costume, presaging his x-force outfit. But it's silly for him to have a helmet, because he doesn't need it. You know why?

Way of X hit overdrive fast. Between Charles looking longingly at the picture of Legion and his mom earlier and remembering quite suddenly that Is Spurrier wrote X-Men Legacy, Legion showing up wasn't completely a surprise, but it was executed extremely well. I'm down for any story in which Nightcrawler can be both funny and the conscience of the X-Men. It feels a little wild to me that like ten pages of this did more to establish mutant teen culture than New Mutants has up until this point. SWORD dunking on Cortez some more and boosting Peepers? I'm here for it. X-Force I was OK with story-wise, but the art...so bad.

Gaz-L posted:My headcanon for this week's SWORD is that Magneto didn't ask Jean to bring Cortez without letting him get the yolk off or get dressed, she just thought it would be funny to see if she could get him to do it without using her powers. She knew she could.

BrianWilly posted:Most importantly, it's not exactly the sort of epic pwn that the writing seems to think it is, considering that a bunch of people in that room don't have special mutant call signs anyway. Xavier? Brand? Voght? Emma and Shaw? White Queen and Black King are job titles, not personal monikers. I think it's really much more about the way that Cortez justified it that became the problematic part. Like, Brand would probably just shrug and not care about the why.

radlum posted:Hellions was great as usual; Zeb Wells is doing wonders with Sinister and Kwannon. I don't think they've ever said that the mutants of Krakoa aren't or can't be heroes. It's more that there were explicit rulings at the beginning of the Krakoa era that there would be no official team called the X-Men. Scott and Jean overruled the Quiet Council on that at the end of X of Swords.

JordanKai posted:Has anyone else read the new Cable? I'm kind of bummed out that the very first issue is tied into a crossover event, but I still liked it. I think the idea of having a trucker tattoo serve as an AI assistant is really inspired. And the story being about history's biggest Cable saluting Rocket for being the best god damned tactical genius of all time is really all I need in a comic book, frankly. And being excited because he knows he's participating in one of his greatest moments ever? Wonderful.

to kill Dormammu with owns as well. I'm a little mixed on the character art, but all the space ships and robots looked incredible.

Also, can we agree that this was the Nightcrawler look we've all been waiting for? Because my man is looking dope af.

Codependent Poster posted:Maybe we can see what Vance thinks of Krakoa since that's another well-known mutant from the 90s that we haven't seen in a while. Too bad they basically just made Vance into a cop, always on the side of the government. #JusticeForJustice

To be fair, though, with this writing, the current team is pretty much all my favorite X-Men team members. They're all great!

Re: Roberto I think the whole point is that Roberto makes it so that her powers CAN'T activate. She says she thinks Tarn is going to win. He agrees and makes it a bet. If she accepts the bet, Magneto wins. If she doesn't accept the bet, there's no competition so her powers don't go. That being said, between this and the subsequent fight, I think I shoulted out HOLY poo poo like 4 times in the span of three pages.

danbanana posted:That, Moira X, and the Davos issue are probably my favorites of the entire Krakoa era. Davos is the only single issue I've bought for myself in ages because it’s so loving great. All five of the mutants have at least one completely banger line each. One of the greatest talky issues.

Rick posted:Reading Sins of Sinister it feels like it would have been nice if they would have had a little more time to breathe post AvXvE. It doesn't necessarily feel like a sudden switch or anything since honestly they had been doing more to set this event up than Judgement Day in the months prior but I could have used just a few more Krakoa slice of lifes. I guess there will be some between this event ending and Fall. I feel like this has been just about everything since Inferno. The X-Office wanted more time in Krakoa, and we got two years after Inferno, but the pace has been blistering, especially as it feels like editorial decided time was up. Things that would have had room to breathe in the first couple years of Krakoa are just getting short series and dumped as quickly as possible as they prepare for whatever is next. It's only been six months since the last Hellfire Gala, and the status quo that came from that definitely needed more time to cook in my opinion.

Thank you to whoever here mentioned that X-Men Unlimited had a lot of the "missing" resistance stuff. Given Firestar's prominence as the insider, it feels a bit weird to have her stuff happen in a space that many people won't see. As somebody who was in middle school in the early 90s, that somebody remembered that Vance Astrovik is a mutant and doesn't have to be a cop feels nigh-on miraculous to me. Also, the more recent issues have a lot of Externals action, since that's also come up recently!

BrianWilly posted:RotPoX has the distinction of pulling off the single most compelling overarching plotline I've seen in comics in a long long time...that unfortunately seems keen on spotlighting 4 out of 5 characters I'm mostly pretty impartial about, with a story that has pretty much just been going "Hey let's try this thing for an issue...welp no that didn't work, now we gotta do something else" for three whole issues. Really interesting stuff with the Dominions timeline shenanigans, though. I enjoy the juxtaposition of the Dominions as the ultimate AI gods in a way that parallels the Phoenix as the ultimate representation of mutant ascendancy, if not organic ascendancy altogether. To me it felt like he thought he was going to get an oversized issue (50! Last issue!) and then the suits were like lol nope.

Spacebump posted:Anyone else get the FCBD Blood Hunt/X-Men issue to see a preview of the new X era? I enjoyed it but suspect not everyone in this thread will. Grim start, the mansion being a prison was not what I expected. Wonder who else is stuck there beyond Siryn. The scene with Jubilee at the diner was great. Excited to see the relaunch now. We also saw Blob. Justice for Fred!
