X-Men - Part 6

[BoredGuy]

I hate the outfits from Uncanny, all black and oddly geometric


but yaayyyyyyy Bendis is gone! now if they can ditch the o5 maybe I can start reading some x-men comics again
at least until they get shunted off with the F4 to the ghetto-verse

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^You're not reading Amazing X-Men?

 

[BoredGuy]

I read through the first Aaron arc with the pirates
And to be honest, it's probably the one x-book I would pick up, but it's getting tough to get myself to trek to the comic store for one book.
outside of Nightcrawler and Iceman, all my favorite superheroes are dead or replaced right now, so I'm not diggin too much of Marvel's output

 

[Havok83]

I thought the pirate arc was boring. I read until Kurt reunite with Mystique. I hated the art which was a turnoff

I think his material has been quite enjoyable but he dragged this mutant revolution for far too long and it went nowhere. AvX felt like 5 years ago yet we still have everyone hating on Cyclops and his team are fugitives. Its long been time for that status quo to change and with Bendis gone, it finally will

I liked All New with the original 5. But getting rid of Bachelo's costumes will be nice, hopefully.

I have mixed feelings about Bendis' run on the X-men books. Some of the stuff he's done has been pretty good. O5 was good initially, but they should have been gone by the end of BotA. I think his work with Eva Bell has been good, I like that he's distinguishing between the Cuckoos more. But on the other hand, it does all seem fairly one note with the revolution and everyone hating Cyclops. The current arcs in both books weren't all that strong to begin with and they've gone on waaaay too long. I agree with Havok on this one, the status quo needs a shake up, it's a good thing Bendis is leaving.

Has anyone heard anything about who the next primary architect for the X-books will be?

 

[Mad Ones]

I'm sad Bendis is leaving! His run was fantastic! Lots of drama, twists, and action. It was a return to the soap opera form that made the X-men famous. I'm loving the Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier. He's done so much with the new characters he's created and with Jean.

 

[def28]

I like Eva Bell alot, and Magik has def been cool this run. As a whole though this run felt way too slow and like it was going around in circles imo. Hasn't been my favorite from him, but it had it's moments.

 

[mjdiddy1]

For me Eva Bell and Magik are the best parts of Uncanny. Also, Secret Wars maybe (a strong maybe) the best thing that could happen to the X-Men. Maybe it can clean up some of the stuff that has happened in the past 5-10 years (the killing of Xavier by Cyclops, Utopia, M-Day, etc). Maybe it could bring Cyclops back to the mansion, bring back Jean (and kill her again, lol) and Xavier while adding in Eva Bell and other bright spots that are currently in the books including Betsy's new look which I love. Since Secret Wars is a sort of soft reboot, it could work in the X-Men favor...if they don't kill them off or turn them into Inhumans or something like that.

from what i understand... Secret Wars isn't a reboot at all... it's going to be merging what people like from other alt universes and basically bringing them into 616. It's not re-writing anything, just adding things to it. I imagine some dead will return, some alive will die and be replaced by an alt version.. but history is not erasing.

It appears there will be no more 616. There will be a new universe merging all of them

From everything ive read its everything merging into 616, which there for does create a brand new "universe" They arnt creating a big bang and a new world everyone goes to post secret war. Its not like battle world will be the new plane of existence. Marvel has also confirmed its not a reboot

 

[KevanG]

For the moment I'm just waiting it out to see what happens. If it's good then great, if not then **** it.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Even in spider-verse theyve started to basically say all the other spidermen are like "echoes" of 616 peter.. so 616 is likely to be treated as the prime parent universe

 

[Havok83]

When did Colossus go back to his original costume? Im sorry but that thing is ugly and outdated here in 2015. His best modern look was this

Even his X-force look was better than the original

And why does X-23 have a blue and yellow streak in her hair? Did she just show up with it or was there a story reason for the change?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

That Bianchi Colossus costume really is awesome. As is his X-Force one. I HATE his original and artists keep going back to it. Get those booty shorts outta here.

X-23 dyed her hair when Wolverine died.

 

[Havok83]

Thanks. I only read her in ANX and she doesn't have it but I saw her in Wolverines. Btw, is that good?

Piotr had 2 Xforce costumes? I only know of the first by Larocca

 

[BoredGuy]

yeah, artists get lazy and revert to his old costume constantly
and x-23 with the blue and yellow in her hair looks so dumb, could you just imagine Logan with streaks??

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Nah, Pete just had the 1 X-Force costume. Black w/ yellow shoulderpads. As for Wolverines, I'm really only reading it for Sabretooth, Logan's eventual resurrection by Sinister, and hopefully another Elixir cameo.

 

[Havok83]

Hold up...Elixir is back? I don't think he's made an appearance since Necrosha

 

[Mad Ones]

Booty shorts 4 life.

That is all.

 

[Havok83]

Just not on his sister? Lol

He showed up at the very beginning of this Wolverines business b/c of his time on X-Force and his death touch. He got knocked out and left behind unfortunately. They've essentially turned him into Wither which is a shame b/c the only other healer on the X-Men is that black dude w/ dreads at Cyclops' school who's name I refuse to learn b/c I hate all those kids.

Damn, I've been waiting for Elixir to come back for quite a while. Even if he is basically Wither, I'd like to have him back.
