Comics Official (adjectiveless) X-MEN Discussion Thread

[Havok83]

i guess Legacy will never revert back to adjectiveless if there is another adjectiveless around.

unofrtunately not. I would have rather this get another adjective like Amazing X-men (to go along with Astonishing, both which were used in AOA)

 

[The Englishman]

I'll give the new writer a try but i wish they would put Paul Cornell on a main X-Title. He wrote a Kick-Ass Vampire Arc in the last few issues of Captain Britain & MI-13.......

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Paul Cornell is apparently only able to do one ongoing at a time it seems (He's a TV writer (Doctor Who, amongst other things.) as well as a science fiction novelist in general. He's about to start Action Comics (Starring Lex Luthor) soon, but I'd love to see him on a X Title for sure.

 

[Hellion]

So...is Gambit's hair going to be pink now...just looking at that one cover?...

 

[OutcryX]

its gonna be the rogue show until carey is removed from the title...but at least now its rogue featuring the x-brats...and magneto

LOL, I think that's just the lighting. Or I hope so anyhow.

Well, that would actually be in Legacy. This is a completely new title that's starting up.

[OutcryX]

thanks Spec....for answering twice. lol

 

[El Bastardo]

I'd rather see Astonishing go away and Ellis (minus Kaare artwork) write a new Adjectiveless as in-continuity.

 

[OutcryX]

yeah...Ellis doesn't need to be in continuity ever again

 

[El Bastardo]

Technically, his current Astonishing has been. Kind of. It's been at least semi-acknowledged.

And it's been fine.

Stop the senseless hating, Outcry! You're not Manic!

 

[Havok83]

The only X-related work Ive liked of Ellis was his Excalibur. That was good but I havent cared for anything else from him. His AXM has been painfully boring

 

[El Bastardo]

Boring doesn't make it badly-written.

Subjective opinion does not indicate a work's quality or worth.

It's been well-written, cerebral, and relatively original if a bit out-there. Boring? To some. I certainly don't think so.

The X-Men Must Survive The Curse Of The Mutants

As the X-Men recover from the stunning conclusion of Second Coming and prepare to enter the Heroic Age, they’ll first have to survive The Curse of The Mutants! Beginning in July’s X-Men #1, from the fan favorite creative team of Victor Gischler and Paco Medina, the X-Men welcome new faces into the fold as a deadly new threat emerges to consume mutantkind...and then the world! With top secret specials and new series tie-ins to this red-hot storyline, The Curse of The Mutants leaves the X-Men forever scarred!

It’s mutants versus vampires—and the stakes have never been bigger for X-Men than in The Curse of The Mutants!

 

[El Bastardo]

This might be the first time I've ever wished an X-Men comic to fail resoundingly.

 

[squeekness]

^^ Aw, with Gambit in it how bad could it be?

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I don't understand the hate for this. At least read it before you judge it, guys.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Let me guess: mutants can turn on/off vampirism?

 

[El Bastardo]

I don't understand the hate for this. At least read it before you judge it, guys.

Here, I'll explain it: I think vampires are stupid.

And I guarantee it won't be as well-written as Cornell's MI:13 Dracula story.

 

[squeekness]

^^Ah, good times, good times. It'll be hard work to have this measure up to that.... but you never know. I seem to recall rather enjoying both Gambit and Storm as vampires in MUtant X.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Than don't read it. It's only the opening story arc anyway. People are acting as if the entire series is just going to be mutants vs vampires.

I'm still hoping for Cornell to take over Uncanny.

IA. The hate for this title is overblown. I think the vampire bit is stupid but at least we know it will only be one arc and hey may end up being a surprisingly good story. My biggest concern is that it will simply bc Uncanny 2.0. I really hope it gets more structure after the first arc and gets a defined and distinct cast. I doubt it but thats what I want. I dont want it to be Uncanny in new adventures

 

[Manic]

So I decided to pop into this thread, and...

Stop the senseless hating, Outcry! You're not Manic!

What the hell, man?! I always give reasons for why I hate stuff. I don't even remember if Outcry ever said why he hates X-Factor.

 

[El Bastardo]

Lies.
