X-Men - Part 2

[JewishHobbit]

Then freakin' branch out! If you have a solo title, you're not on a team (Wolverine, X-23). If you're on a team, your on one book (Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma, Magneto), if you're not being used in one of the books, other writers can use you in other books NOT X-Men related (such as how Beast is in Secret Avengers).

It doesn't seem that hard to me. There's 7 billion X-Men... why shove them into several books and overlap so much but not let anyone else touch them save a couple? Share the wealth and make the Marvel Universe feel more like a Marvel Universe and not the Marvel Universe and the X-Men Universe.

 

[Manic]

That wouldn't really solve the issue of there being so many X-books, and I think people who don't read X-Men would start complaining about the X-Men invading their comics.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah but f**k those people.

(To clarify, I'm one of those people who don't read X-Men but wouldn't mind if some of them moved on to other sectors of the MU. Iceman and Angel need to start up another Champions team.)

 

[Manic]

I just realized I don't see anything that looks like Archangel's silhouette in any of the covers.

 

[Havok83]

I also think Gambit and Dazzler are two characters that could benefit from moving on from the X-men.

 

[venom892]

I was gonna mention that earlier.Either he bits the dust or stays in AOA.

 

[Anubis]

Or dying horribly.

I think Gambit would be awesome in a book like Heroes for Hire antagonizing other marvel heroes and hitting on heroines.Unfortunately that's getting canceled.But I would love Gambit interacting with the marvel knights corner of the MU.

He's become the new Apocalypse in Uncanny X-Force. It looks like that may stick which explains how Betsy ends up on both sides.

 

[Anubis]

Maybe he'd work well with the T-Bolts.

[runawayboulder]

Don't knock it till you read it. It's been quite awesome. Dark Beast f-ed X-Force over good and that allowed it to happen.

 

[El Bastardo]

Yeah, facepalm one of the better writers currently at Marvel.

 

[runawayboulder]

....on one of the top 3 Marvel titles no less.

 

[Anubis]

Oh come on man, you gotta understand how that sounds. Warren is now Apocalypse?

 

[runawayboulder]

Read it and judge for yourself......you have to start from scratch in issue 1 because Remender has been building up to it for a while. You know that whole conversation above with X-books being self contained and teams doing their own thing? That's what's going on here which is why many have taken to it. It gets pretty deep for a book about a renegade hit squad.

 

[venom892]

It also has the currently best written Deadpool.

 

[runawayboulder]

In the 616....no doubt about it. Overall......? That's a real tough one with Deadpool MAX out there. Lapham's 'Pool will give Remender's a run for it's money.

 

[Spider-Nerd]

Wait, Warren is apocalypse now? WTH did that happen?

 

[runawayboulder]

Spoiler

In the last few issues of Uncanny X-Force, the Dark Angel Saga. The team locked him up and went to AoA universe to get a life seed to save him and McCoy ditched them there. By the time they got back, Warren had busted out and rounded up the recent incarnation of the Four Horseman and a few others. The guys got a small, nasty army now. UXF looks pretty f-ed....

 

[JewishHobbit]

It's been done very well so far in my opinion.

 

[Havok83]

Warren isnt the new Apocalypse...Archangel is. I think you should read it. Its actually well done.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Oh come on man, you gotta understand how that sounds. Warren is now Apocalypse?

And yet... it's been a fantastic read. I mean, honestly, I love Angel but I'm kinda hoping this sticks for a while. It began with the previous X-Force run loosely but Remender took what Yost had done and then created this Apocalypse plot out of it and it's been fantastic.

Plus, it make sense on panel and it gives us either A) a grew new villain and take on Warren, or B) a fantastic way out for all his bloodlustness of late.

And no matter how it plays out it's just been a wonderful read so far.

 

[Ipodman]

I gave up at issue 2 of Uncanny X-force... I have the .1 issue tho...

 

[runawayboulder]

Your loss because issue 5 was where s**t got real.
