X-Men - Part 8

[Iceman]

It still looks like crap to me.

I thought so too. Thats the worst rendition of many of these new costumes especially Psylocke. His Jean needs to eat a burger and I dont like the headgear. Also dont like that they have Storm and Bishop lightskinned (and what is up with the way his hair is drawn)? Overall not a good cover

All that's true, but this is bloody Liefeld we're talking about. This is far better than I thought even his magnum opus would be.

 

[squeekness]

Hope he's not doing the interior art as well.

 

[psylockolussus]

I wish Rogue is in the Uncanny x-men and not the Wolverine clone.

Not for Uncanny but he will be working on an X-men crossover next year

she's not a clone anymore

 

[psylockolussus]

She is just like how Prestige is a Jean clone.

If Laura Kinney isn't a clone -- what about Gabrielle Kinney?

 

[Havok83]

Gabby is a clone but she isn’t set to be a featured player in UXM. At most a cameo but she’s not one of the headliners

 

[psylockolussus]

X-23, Daken, Honey Badger, Jimmy Hudson, Old Man Logan, Razor = all Wolverine clones

Marvel might as well just create Wolverine-Men instead of trying to include them in the X titles.

 

[squeekness]

Daken is a son, not a clone. Jimmy is, too, last I knew. His mom was Heather Hudson of Alpha Flight. Not that it takes away from your argument of too many Wolverines running around.

 

[Sithborg]

Let's be honest, no one is ever going to mention Jimmy again. Or any of the other weirdness Bunn was bringing in.

 

[squeekness]

I thought the idea of Jimmy was over done because he came after Daken. One son was enough, really. Even if they did have different mothers.

 

[psylockolussus]

Clone meaning the character is based or inspired from an Xisting X-Men character and ended up with almost the same abilities. They are Wolverine knock offs basically. And I'd rather see the spotlight to be given to someone else especially with newer characters. Dust is more original than X-23. Gentle is more original than Jimmy Hudson. The list goes on.

On this we agree. I'd like to see more original and unique characters myself.

 

[psylockolussus]

Sage
Armor
Gentle
Hellion
EliXir
Blink
Warpath
Cecilia Reyes
Marrow

They should have been building these characters up to the point that wecan say that these are the new X-Men staples. We still see some of them but they aren't being build up as the nXt big mutants. So glad Blue is done.

I mean, lets not forget how Daken treated most of his other siblings...

X-23 is one of the best new character created in the last 15 years. Marvel has done right to continue to use her

Yup. She's always been a favorite of mine. Daken, too, even though he's not very nice.

 

[psylockolussus]

Only because they knew its easier to sell a legacy character than actually create a character from scratch. So they have their best talent developing and building up legacy characters.

Kamala, Spider Gwen, Miles the list goes on...

Theres no reason why Surge, Armor, Hellion cant be as awesome as X-23 other than their lack of interest.

But that argument doesnt hold true for the other characters you mentioned like Daken, Gabby, OML, Jimmy, Raze. Laura is genuinely an awesome character that has had a well written and interesting character arc. She isnt simply a Wolverine "clone" as you put it. Thats a very superficial way to dismiss her when she is so much more. All New Wolverine and the current X-23 series are two of the best books written for the X line since the post SW relaunch 3 years ago

 

[psylockolussus]

She's Wolverine 2.0. And i don't care if her books ar good. The credit goes to the writer. Anyone could get a good comic book if the writer knows what to do.

Everything that happens with a character good or bad goes to the writer. That statement doesnt say anything

 

[psylockolussus]

Whether her book is great or not it doesnt change the fact that she's Wolverine 2.0 and a legacy character. Thats a given since she used wolverine as her codename. And personally I wish they have used their efforts to someone more original.

 

[Havok83]

Jordan D. White just released the results of a Twitter poll he had on his page last week and X-23 came in the top 10 of most popular X-character. Clearly she has a fanbase

 

[squeekness]

Gambit scored higher than Rogue.
