Yeah, he's done worse

chris moore · 01-31-2011, 03:55 AM

The intro boxes are getting a tad irksome. "Pixie: Megan - we mentioned the Welsh thing right?" "Cyclops, leader, optic blasts. Having a bit of a head cold".

Heffer Wolf · 01-31-2011, 05:28 AM

Sometimes those stupid intro box things are funny, but mostly they are stupid. The best one I still read was "Rockslide-Made of Rock, Anole-Made of Awesome." I forgot what that was in.

RLAAMJR. · 04-30-2011, 06:51 AM

PLease put back Ororo Munroe/Storm leading the x-men.

Havok83 · 01-31-2011, 04:43 AM

Oh the craptions? Hopefully they will end when Fraction does. Dazzler - One who dazzles. Pop star!

Manic · 01-31-2011, 10:48 AM

Those caption boxes started off well enough...

"Cyclops--Scott Summers--Optic Blasts. Leader."

Then they just devolved into complete s***.

"Cyclops--Scott Summers--LOL, someone's got a case of the red eyes!"

Havok83 · 01-31-2011, 05:09 PM

they would have been more effective if used sparingly, not in every single issue he writes

Colossal Spoons · 01-31-2011, 05:24 PM

Thought I was the only one hated those things

***crickets***

javi1024 · 02-08-2011, 11:13 AM

it seems like we all have the same thing to say about each book every time: i like it, Havok is ready for Fraction to leave, Manic is somewhere in the middle, and Chris Moore wants Iceman. im thinking well have more to say once Gillen takes over completely.

This is so true. For every time I praise something like Lovelorn, I need to bring up my undying hatred for Sisterhood.

i do. its not perfect (we can all agree Sisterhood sucked and we'd like to see more than just Scott and Emma) but im really enjoying the world the X-Men are living in right now. its the book i look forward to the most every month in my pull list (take that how ever you will, but its the truth). that being said im excited to see what Gillen has planned (things already seem to be off to a good start with 'Quarantine').

chris moore · 02-08-2011, 12:03 PM

I like the writing well enough, just not the character use.

Heh - javi, you're spot on. My major issue always has been not enough Iceman and weird power set balances in "field teams" hasn't it. Same old same old, with no change in sight

Manic · 02-08-2011, 12:29 PM

I just hope the X-Men don't move back to New York anytime soon. I'm usually against the editor in chief taking too much of a hands-on approach to running things, but I want Axel's tight-fisted grip all over the X-Men franchise so they'll stay in San Francisco like he promised back when he was just the X-editor.

chamber-music · 02-08-2011, 01:26 PM

Where the X-Men live has never bothered me, heck they could go back to living in the Australian outback and I wouldn't mind.

I just want seperate teams again so characters can get proper action/development like they used to.

Generation Lee · 02-09-2011, 04:26 PM

OK anyone look at last weeks cover and think Land totally copied Pam Anderson in Barbwire seriously look at Emma. On a side not although I like the idea of the current arc it still isn't gripping me although Emma's subplot I like except for the love of God will Kitty get rid of that fishbowl on her head it only works for Mysterio lol.

Havok83 · 02-09-2011, 04:49 PM

First step to getting the X-men back to where they were is moving back to NY. I cant wait for tht to happen. I think its inevitable

Manic · 02-09-2011, 04:56 PM

Bite your blasphemous tongue.

javi1024 · 02-09-2011, 05:20 PM

i like the X-Men in San Fran. for that matter i liked the 50 State Initiative. Marvel can afford to have there heroes spread out beyond the 5 burrows.

now if only Marvel had the B@iis, to admit that a character like ICeman, ( like the cover) had the power to dominate wolverine it would be a game changer.
wolverine=overrated

Manic · 02-18-2011, 04:09 PM

"Now, V. strong, obv."

WORST ****ING CAPTION YET!

javi1024 · 02-18-2011, 05:29 PM

i dont even know what that says.

Specter313 · 02-18-2011, 05:44 PM

"Now, very strong. Obviously."

It's the texting, hipster way to speak. And annoying.
