X-Men - Part 6

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, Idk how any of these people run successful companies. Angel and Iron Fist should be homeless by now.

 

[Gee]

Why? I thought the point of Secret Wars was to streamline everything so that there wasnt a gazzillion universes out there. Launching new series set outside of 616 (or whatever the new Marvel designation is) seems counterintuitive to that

 

[Colossal Spoons]

It sold well, Havok. That's all the reason they need.

I guess the people have spoken. I'm sure Marvel reluctantly had to make the decision cause of sales and people are also on to them over their treatment of the XMen lately.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

They tossed us a nostalgic bone.

doesn't appear to be so... looks like while some universes merged.. some will remain separate after Secret Wars

What a mess. I wish they hadnt gone into SW with the intent on halfassing it. The post-SW landscape seems to be more confusing than how things were before

 

[BoredGuy]

It seems their mission with SW has been to make it as convoluted and tough to break into as the DC universe
so.. mission successful, I guess

If it wasn't for the relaunch, it would be easy to argue the intent was just to tell a story. It's the relaunch that made it seem like some kind of soft reboot.

 

[Sithborg]

I thought it was safe to assume some of the books were trials for possibley new books. I could've sworn they talked about '92 continuing after Secret Wars before this.

 

[Eros]

Like its extremely hard to follow whats going on in the Marvel U right now.

I stopped reading with SW. I barely was before but its a bunch of books that overall will be meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Wake me up when its all done

 

[CaptainWagner]

Well, technically it's all done now, the relaunch starts this month. But the delays on Secret Wars means it's still being published at the same time.

 

[Havok83]

Well Uncanny Xmen 600 hit today and as someone that defended and enjoyed Bendis when he first joined, I take that back and hate how he ended things. Outside of the Illyana and Colossus reconciliation, what a terrible issue

 

[javi1024]

I sorta liked the issue, except [BLACKOUT]for the whole Bobby thing[/BLACKOUT]. I liked [BLACKOUT]Hank being confronted for his actions and the rally in DC[/BLACKOUT]. It's just when you read that and the read Extraordinary X-Men it's like wait what?? And I know we're still missing the end of Secret War, but really how much of that story are we expecting is going to focus on setting up the X-Men's new status quo? There was only one mutant shown in the main story and supposedly he's dead.

 

[Sithborg]

I just sighed. We are really rehashing "No More Mutants". For the freakin Inhumans? Let's toss in the Legacy virus as well.

Still I like the team. I love Zangeif/Colossus. And the Nightcrawler stuff looks interesting. Just tired of this new status quo already.

 

[Havok83]

I just read that and terrible. DeciMation was one of the worst thing to happen to the X-line and now we are back to that? I dont like that this Inhuman crap is infesting the X-men

 

[Mike Murdock]

What's Bendis doing next? It feels like the guy has had some burnout recently. While I haven't gotten involved in Secret Wars yet, I've heard terrible things about Ultimate End.

 

[chamber-music]

All the X-Men bickering and acting like *****es completely killed my interest in them. It sucks because I used to be a huge X-Men fan but I have not enjoyed X-Men comics in recent years and have ended up dropping them.

 

[CaptainWagner]

While I don't care for them using the same old storyline for the X-Men, does everyone still have to hate on the Inhumans? I really don't get why some people blame everything on them for the X-Men line not being what they want.

 

[BoredGuy]

IDC about the Inhumans
But The X-Comics have def sucked since about AvX; Cyclops, Wolverine, and Jean are all dead, Iceman was forcefully outed by an a**hole teen Jean, they're on the verge of extinction AGAIN for the second time in less than a decade; The X-movies have been sup-par for a while (IMO)... it's dark days to be an X-Men fan

 

[chamber-music]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks teen Jean is a ass****.

The boom to extinction cycle with the X-Men is somewhat repetitive.

They quite literally trying to replace mutants with inhumans. They made the Terrigan Mists now a global phenomenon, so you just gain powers. And the new developments is pretty much blatant "no more mutants for more inhumans". If it had just been that the Terrigen Mists were causing the sickness for mutants (M-pox, really? If you are going to rehash the Legacy Virus, at least get creative with the damn name please), causing conflicts between mutants and inhumans, it would've been a lot better. But sterilizing mutants so no more can happen just reeks of replacement.

Still, despite the status quo, there is enough to keep me interested in the X-men.
