Also the fact that mutants rights are more restrictive than human rights and the implication that stronger mutants can draft weaker mutants against their will. Like Emma will do to Kitty.
What the heck? The sound something akin to viltrumite empire but less extreme. That is not how I envisioned mutants actually some their rights recognized.
Resetting back to the 90s and getting the teams back to those and working from there to catch the eye of readers with something very familiar would be a good idea.
Better, get Claremont back or other veteran writers like John Byrne, Roy Thomas, Ann Nocenti, Peter David, Alan Davis, Louise Simonson etc.
Even someone like Lobdell is better than what we have nowadays. Maybe even Liefeld. There also needs to be firm rules writers cannot break because Krakoa era shows far these netflix bag chasers will take it.
Also interiors should also be done by cover artists, we shouldn't have an amazing cover then below subpar art within the book.
Those characters would be unrecognizable and made "gender queer" by the new crop of LGBTQIA activist writers.
It won't happen but I agree that would be great.
I don't get the whole "Oh no, not back to the mansion!" Mob??
Firstly, they haven't been in the mansion for a long time now so it will feel new again. Secondly, it works pretty well in X-Men 97!!
I dropped all x books from my pull list years ago. If I want to read great X-men stories I take out my old Cockrum Claremont and Byrne run.
Why do people even bother to continue reading anything from Marvel? It's all reboots and events every year or so. They do not seem capable of entertaining readers anymore.
Because they love the comics, they want stories.
@@kaijukingdom2686 Unfortunately, most seem to be constantly disappointed. Diminishing returns with every new iteration.
Doing more solo series for X-men isn't a bad idea in theory, however who are we going to get to write and draw these comics?
Put em back in the Mansion; danger room sessions; two-three issue threats with softball or basketball on their downtime. Easy formula. Wake up Marvel.
The X-men reboot is going to flop because they don’t care about the characters and fans. They just keep getting the same fail writers. They need a strong writer and two X-men books. The X-men are team characters and the only one who sells a solo book is wolverine
They also forget the X-Men are superheroes and do not spend their whole lives moping around over mutant rights. They save the world just like any other superhero team. Instead they want to writes them as covert radical mutant rights strike force rather than outcast superheroes
Uh yeah you may have insulted some good writers
Deadpool called saying you ignored him
@@mechmaster315 which ones?
@@pauldareason Gail Simone
For mutant solo spotlight title will always work much better then any mini or ongoing title. Mutant shine when set around other mutant because their most fondamental characteristic his own they react and adapt to their mutation compared to others. As for Avengers vs X-Men book dynamic, it is to compare cop beating organised crime to a bunch of school kids teaming up against the school bully.
See how XMen comic relaunch will do. Not lot of hope. I hate that they are flooding so many titles right out.
I was actually looking forward to the new X-Force title but then Marvel released the team lineup. What an absolute travesty 😢 It'll be cancelled in 10 issues.
It's only gonna be a mini run I don't see it going pass 5 or 6 issues
It's kinda funny Tom's strategy for fixing the x men is literally everything that killed the avengers line
The cover for NYX is so bad . What kind of cover is that to hype up a superhero series? I wouldn't read it if it was free.
Should be X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force and Wolverine. Cancel all other books. The teams should be what their most popular version was. That’s it. I don’t get why this is so hard.
The only X character that can carry their own books are Wolverine. The rest are regulated to mini series. Still interesting that Cable had a long run must been a 90s thing.
Having 8 ongoing X-Men might have been part of the problem.
Ahh, so sad. They had a chance to fix Xmen and they botched it.
Look who’s on the Books. You expected that group of weirdos to fix the X-Men. 😮
They need to cut down on titles. Two main X-Men titles that deal with different threats. X-Force to do black op and get their hands dirty. X-Factor can be the olive branch type team with a rotating roaster that can be used as a single issue story or spotlight book. If they want a New Mutants type book, use it as a school/training slice of life book, not throwing them against Nimrod in their first mission because they are still learning to use their powers. Give these books time to breathe and establish themselves before giving anyone a solo book. They just need to cut down on titles and be laser focused on a handful.
too many books, too many characters, too many number 1 issues.
This. I'd rather see Marvel release 2-3 really good titles (Uncanny X-Men, Adjectiveless X-Men, and maybe a Wolverine solo book) than vomit out 12 new series of drivel.
As you said, books stay “out of spite”…which shows you the state of the Mid 2. Rather than popularity, sales, or just good ol fashion entertainment… the longevity of books can be based on spite or taking no responsibility.
Also other than Wolverine, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, no X-men or mutant character worked with the Avengers or other heroes, so we have no idea how they would work outside of X-men.
Don't forget about Beast
@@clonegeek3317Yep Beast worked with the Avengers for years. After he left the X-Men in the early 80’s
Rogue was with the Uncanny Avengers as was Havok. Sunspot was an Avenger as was Cannonball. X-23 was part of Avengers Academy. Firestar was a New Warrior. Storm was part of teh FF. Kitty was with the Guardians for a bit. Angel and Iceman were Champions.
@@alexgomez4401 You’re an awesome stickler for continuity. Try for the big 2 you will help comics make one sense even by industry standards.
Stop talking out of your ass about things you don't know.
I've never been a big X-Men fan, I just found them too arguey.
But trying to change that into some version of the Avengers or Spider Man is ridiculous.
A story about an outsider being an outsider alone isn't a story at all.
A story about outsiders trying to work together is what made the X Men work for their fans.
Clowns run and write Marvel now. No wonder their sales are a joke.
Started reading X-Men 2099, mad underrated title that avoids the more convoluted parts of X-Men while doing good with a unique roster never before seen. I would love to see X-Men 2099 crossover with a 1990s X-Men, written by John Francis Moore and Scott Lobdell with art by Ron Lim and Adam Kubert.
No, we're not reading all of that nonsense. Now. They live on Mars. They live on another planet. They're doing all of this. Oh my God, stop stop get rid of these riders get rid of these new people at marble. Hit corners. Stop, just stop it's ridiculous. It's all ridiculous marble. Comics has become a joke. It's ridiculous all this foolishness, stop.
Working at Marvel Comics as long as he has, he should know more about how to write an X-Men book than most writers that haven't and maybe a few that have, in the same way a sports fan knows their rival more than any other individual or team... He has to have heard what they stand for just being in the building that long.
Avengers Magic? What Magic?
What story has actually brought new people into conics and sold gangbusters? Or are we classifying "didn't lose as many readers as the other comic lines" as Avengers Magic now?
Though honestly it could be a fair metric at this point.
With all the blatant character assassinations and years of fans dropping out and swearing off Marvel for life like myself, managing to not cut your readership in half by the end of a run is probably a magic at Marvel these days.
If they were still alive even Stan and Jack couldn't save Marvel now. Not even with a Bill and Ted Adventure to get all the greatest comic writers in history at their prime.
They broke the universe, the characters, and the fans trust too many times to come back from. I don't hate the bad comics, I hate the company, and I hate the writers for attacking the fans over and over again. They chose to hate and attack me based on my skin color, my genitals, my sexual preference, and blaming me for anything anyone in history who shares any of those three characteristics with me has ever done. That's textbook bigotry.
Cap didn't stand for bigotry, Professor X didn't stand for bigotry, my personal hero Peter Parker never stood for bigotry. I'll be damned if I spend money to support bigotry wrapped in the skins of the heroes who for decades taught children that evil shit is wrong.
Well that turned into an off topic rant...sorry.
Anyway, have a nice day and thanks for the vid. And listening to the audience vent in the comments, I'm sure that's gotta be a miserable experience some days.
To me the fatal flaw of this new relaunch is Krakoa Era being part of the main canon after butchered the franchise completely. How the X-Men can be a superhero team after Krakoa turned all them in unlikeable murderous jerkasses? Brevoort can put on dozens of X titles every month that don't will change anything. You cannot make a dead franchise be great again. Just watch X-Men 97.
"How the X-Men can be a superhero team after Krakoa turned all them in unlikeable murderous jerkasses?"
Actually, the X-Men trying to redeem themselves in the eyes of the world could work really well as a status quo. Humanity rightfully hates them so now they're under tremendous pressure to prove that they're heroes. Now it's more important than ever to draw the line between the philosophy of the X-Men and the Brotherhod. The team needs to start saving people again and...
Who am I kidding? They're gonna pretend that the X-Men did nothing wrong during the Krakoan Era.
@@kaczok1985 Yes, none these deaths will have any consequences to them in the future. Simone,MCkay and the others will pretend that nothing happened in the end.
My Hero Academia
As a cyclops fan I agree most team characters are not strong enough to carry a series on their own. Personally I'd like to see more Duos and trios like Powerman and Iron Fist. We've seen it with cable and Deadpool and more limited runs like beast and Wolverine. I remember when they had Marvel 2 in 1 and Marvel team-up where they used the thing and Spider-Man to team up with other Heroes. Great way to introduce new heroes or reintroduce old ones. Unfortunately now an obscure hero is brought forth there either replaced for no reason or changed in some way to make them more diverse but not more interesting.
I remember when they started publishing X-Men every two weeks. No. Not a mini series, not another Fantastic X-men etc. But the main comic, every two weeks. You can tell the story telling and art started to collapse. This was in the money grabbing times. Then after that they started doing #1's all over again. Like X-MEN without the Uncanny etc. Will they never learn. We want quality.
no time travel … xmen is so convulated
Don't worry haven't purchased an X-Men comic since 2010.
Back in the day, comics sales in general and how well a particular book was doing sales-wise was measured by how many copies it sold per month based against how many copies of Uncanny X-Men sold per month.
Reduced now to throwing shit against the wall by people who care more about the authority of their position in the company than they do about comic books.
I will continue to not buy X-Men comics until directed by Thinking Critical otherwise ✌️
Marvel is creativly bankrupt and run by people who dont really understand the heros they are writing about. I would love a nightcrawler solo book if they wrote nightcrawler before they ruined him, talking his backstory and throwing it into the trash. It almost sounds like Tom is trying to understand but still missing the point. I remember the Hellfire club series when Kitty Pride and Wolverine had to rescue the rest of the Xmen. That was good storytelling. Marvel comics and "going nowhere fast" go together like bread and butter. 😊
Nightcrawler had plenty of solo runs in the past that mostly failed : Before Krakoa, you had Claremont's which was cancelled by the first year as it had to warp everything up on the 12th issue. That solo came after Nightcrawler was brought back to life following years of absence.
Still most of those pre-Krakoa runs were at least enjoyable and the people writing them knew the characters.
The same cannot be said about Si Spurrier writing Nightcrawler's solos during Krakoa.
Stan Lee is was the real magic. Not Disney
Marvel as a comic book publishing house will not get better until they get rid of the old editorial board
X-Fan: Mutant ability, used to love Marvel.
I don't have much hope but I'm praying that in exceptional x-men they finally break Kitty away from Emma, she turned a great character in to a girl-boss annoyance, who's annoying behavior was supposed to be a short phase but has stuck
And she's gay now ? With the decades long crush and love she's had for Colossus ?
@@thibaldus3 I personally liked her and star lord but they broke them up and made both bisexual ha
@@hadriancaesar2686 Figures. There isn't even an attempt at making sense. Everyone is just a character from an erotic gay fanfic now.
I blame the editors of marvel they don't give a hoot what the "writers"are doing to this characters and that is why this new reads sucks
Just because the X-Men have so many characters to pick from, doesn’t mean you need to have that many books running at once. At most 3-4 that cover specific aspects without going to crazy. You have the main book, maybe X force to be in the more brutal book. I wouldn’t mind one that maybe focuses on the mystical aspects (what they failed to do with Excalibur).
Honestly, they started the last reboot OK and then bloated it insanely
My 17 year old son has grown up on the MCU and with X-men 97, I started exposing him to the X-men. Even his totally fresh take of the mutants is that it’s unlike any other superhero team. Even someone who has only seen 7 episodes gets the difference between X-men and teams like Avengers and Justice League, unlike Breevort and Marvel…
The X-Men and the avengers are two different things indeed.
Xmen is totally awesome
I'm wary of introducing my children to anything Marvel when you see how much of it is just a pure excuse for LGBTQIA propaganda nowadays...
@@thibaldus3 true
Marvel has very few good writers for a bunch of spinoff X-Men books.
Marvel has good writers?
Except for Wolverine and the X-Men, I stopped reading X-Men after Bobby Drake was killed. There are very few characters who can carry their own books. I know Wolverine can, but I got tired of his solo series in the mid 90s. Some of my favorite characters like Storm, Emma Frost, Colossus and Nightcrawler can’t hold an ongoing series. I love Deadpool but they’ve milked him dry. Cable had always been my favorite solo titles but I don’t know how much Marvel has ruined him since the Messiah Trilogy.
Not surprising.
At $4 a pop, good luck with the X-men solo titles.
8:16 Uncanny X-Men only makes sense if they wanted to cash in on the X-Men'97 show because, in comics, that team doesn't make a lot of sense due to what went down during Krakoa... Or more accurately what didn't go down.
None of these characters interacted with or showed any resemblance of caring about each other in 3 literal years no matter how many horrible experiences and tricky situations they found themselves in.
With the exception of Rogue and Gambit who lived together under the same roof as a married couple, how long has it been since that roster had any kind of personal talk or fun time together ? Or went on a X-Men-like mission before FoHoX (and that run would only concern Wolverine and Nightcrawler) ?
Nightcrawler has talked to Wolverine, I'd say, twice between HoX/PoX and FoHoX and those conversations were surface level at best and out of character at worst... This is the only character in the roster he's talked to in 3 years while he wasn't drunk out of his mind.
Wolverine hasn't teamed up with Rogue and Gambit in forever, let alone Jubilee.
Jubilee has at best seen Nightcrawler once or twice in passing while he was at the Quiet Council and it's even less than that with the others.
Rogue and Gambit have been pretty much cut off of all the others and have went on more missions with the friends of their teammates than with the teammates themselves.
Rogue went on more X-Men-like missions with a teammate that has a healing factor similar to Wolverine (Deadpool) than with Wolverine himself and Gambit went on more X-Men-like missions with a teammate that has teleportation abilities that worked in the exact same way as Nightcrawler (Azazel) than with Nightcrawler himself.
I don't always agree with Wes but his take is on point!
Perhaps a Kitty Pryde solo book? It would be interesting to see how she gets on with her life after all the murders she’s committed.
The Kitty that I knew never should forgive herself for killing people even for the mutant cause. She would turn herself to the authories to answer for these death in a trial. But the things never will be the same again. The character that was the heart of the team in the past was ruined because Duggan stupidity.
Just make Nightcrawler the new Spiderman... that will sell a solo book... wait.. whats that you say?...
Let us never forget about how that actually happened.
All because the writer couldn't sell the character's books for three years when he was on the front cover as his own self.
Awesome work mate
Yeah right off the bat Wes gets it. You buy the Avengers so you can get all your favorite heroes in one title for a major threat only all of them can handle together. You buy X-Men to read about a group of "outcast" if you will battling to find a place in society and save that society from threats that they will never be fully thanked or appreciated for by said society. Look if we are talking mini-series then yeah Tom has a point. But if we are talking ongoing series then he is kidding himself. Look at the industry the way it is now. You'd need a MEGA talent to work on the title to get numbers to keep publishing. Storm, Sabretooth, Rouge, Gambit, Psylocke, and Cyclops & Jean Grey all had mini-series during time of far better sales, and nobody kidded themselves that they could be ongoings. Only Wolverine is in that category, and I think its a bad idea to relaunch Wolverine again instead of just keep publishing him to show his sales strength. Cable is dubious at best currently for a solo book. (it's David Gabriel too) Plus the buying habits and attitudes of the fans, which are cultivated in a certain way by the publishers, would hold that it better be good or you've got nothing to work with after a few issues. WTF20.
I havent read the xmen since the early 90s. I still dont get krakoa. I thought krakoa died in Giant size xmen #1 years ago. Then i see where the xmen are living on krakoa?
Make X-men great again
As much as I love Rogue, she's not a team leader.
Especially if wolverines on the team who has been a leader many times
Remember when the X-Men could simultaneously take 4 or 5 titles to issue 100? It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that those days were three decades ago, but Marvel is doing everything it can to make sure those days truly dead and gone...
Yes it does have a fundamental destructive flaw. It’s being made by current year Marvel.
I’d like to see a Bishop book done by a capable writer
As a fellow Colossus fan, I wholeheartedly agree. He's a great character in a team book but a miniseries like "Colossus: Bloodline" or "X-Men: Liberators" is really the best you can pull out of him as far as solo books are concerned. That being said, I would love to see a decent miniseries about the Rasputin family drama.
I love the Xmen, have all of the Good ones. Great heroes BUT I don't think that the Xmen have anything " Better" than any other team...I think that they sold more copies than AVENGERS and JUSTICE LEAGUE because Xmen usually had the FAN FAVE ARTISTS. Byrne, Sivestri, Jim Lee.....If THOSE guys were on AVENGERS or JLA during their " Heyday" , WITH a good Writer at the same time ,they too would have sold millions. I dont think that Xmen will EVER sell like that again, nor be much more popular than the Avengers or League again. Truly think that " those days are over". Hell, even their movies (Wolverine as well) were NOWHERE near the box office Hits of the Avenger Movies.
I agree. The X-Men hit your peak in the 90's and never were great again after that.
I'm inclined to agree with both of you. People crap in krakroa, but imo the X-Men books haven't really been all that great for decades before that. The militant cyclops San Francisco era? Eh. Grant Morrison was pretty good. Schism, chuck Austen, etc. lots of bad runs.
@@bandoogiemanz And Krakoa Era managed to be worse than Austen and the past decade runs.
When they made Kamala Khan a mutant, they should've changed her name. "Ms. Marvel" is stupid, old, overused, and doesn't sound anything like a mutant name.
Would Marvel Girl work better for you?
@@alexgomez4401 what about “handerella” or “fingoria”
I believe she is still a inhuman also, they don't seem to have given her a mutant power. Just a thought maybe the terrigen mist killed her mutant power so she has a mutant gene but is still more of a inhuman.
I think there are a few x men who could carry a solo book at least to 12 issue but the problem would be where this steaming mess of fall of x ends. What would the status que be now? although i agree with wes instead of ongoing just give some of them short four issue mini's like they use to do .
Ahh solo titles, so they can just tye them into events whenever they feel like it. 💸💸💸
Why would you expect any different from Tom Brevoort? Look at the "guy"; he looks like an interrupted circumcision.
They should give Sina Grace his 6th shot at trying to make an Iceman solo title work.
Give them time. They will get there when everything fails and they get desperate.
Maybe they should consider doing a few anthology series.
Fecker is authorizing more books like they are still selling them for 10-25¢ at the local 7-11 or Newstand. If you are gonna price things at more than a Dollar (in this case what is it now? 4$?), you need less books not more. Nevermind the fact that a Solo title is only as good as it's antagonists, if you don't create antagonists unique to that particular hero, they aren't gonna sell for shiz, unless you have a reeeaaally good gimmick to hook them with (like She-hulk breaking the fourth wall while fighting Marvel's Lamest villians in humorous fashion).
I feel Marvel hasn’t had anything really great for awhile now when Hickman took over Avengers from Bendis I think that’s when everything started sucking it wasn’t till Chip Zdarsky took over DD that anything was great or even good X-men has been meh the whole Krokoa era was just bland as hell besides a few things that I liked but overall was not memorable at all and with Gillen on it I think it will just get more boring.
I say ask Claremont and Bryne, and Nocenti, and other original authors and ask them where the line was heading before Mutant Massacre Cross Over, where was this solo title actually heading in the 80s before corporate got involved
They should have kept Johnathan Hickman ngl.
As a caviat relaunch Uncanny Avengers if he really wants mutant Avengers
Once again, I am glad ultimate x-men (2024) is the only good x-men book, but yet it gets hate for being different.While the main x-men books still get trash quality writing.
Being different is what makes that X-Men book special. I’m giving it a chance still.
Tom Brevoort is responsible for most of the Avengers issue's I didn't like Bendis,Hickman, and Waid never felt like they could write an Avengers story just a book with Avengers in the title.Aaron was corny and idiotic . Mcaye is the first to have an Avengers feel since Busiek and George Perez and to be honest Busiek and Perez probably just needed someone to keep them on schedule.
Bro if they just capitalized on cyclops being a bad ass in the new cartoon
It’s written by Fail Simone? Hard pass
Doesn’t the fact he states that the X-men have a huge number of characters go against more solos? Huge number means you need more teams so fans arent revolting.
Heck it’s not like you cannot slap X-men on the cover and have a book driven by one character.
Truth to this. Folks loved Mike Carey's X-Men: Legacy series and that was essentially a Rogue book.
Solo X-Comics I cared about: Cable (before PoX), X-23 (before her personality/Wolverine change), Storm (some of the time), Shatterstar (before PoX), Kitty Pryde (before PoX), Psylocke (whatever version as long as she fights with a katana and isn't written by a certain fantasy writer), Deadpool (if you count him as a mutant), Bishop (unless I missed something, then he is still great), Major X (only written by Rob Liefeld), Chamber and Dazzler.
Also could be nice if Polaris was leading a team some day.
Yeah I kinda want Polaris running a new Brotherhood. Team her up with Bishop and have a More militant group
That sounds really interesting, never thought of her leading the Brotherhood, could be really fun.
Between the number of mutant characters and books all the over powered omega mutants and just doing things to the older characters that I don't like I don't have any X-Men favorites anymore. I mean things like Jean Grey threatening Nightmare,and Wolverine always the best at what he does. To powerful and not interesting to me anymore.
I honestly hope this version of NYX is better than the one from 2003. The dialogue was terrible, all of the characters were assholes, and the plot went nowhere.
I read at least 2 or 3 issues before eventually tapping out after the writers turned a 15-year-old X-23 into a gothic prostitute that was satisfying a man with a scar fetish. 🤮
Irksome stuff for sure.
Personally, I'm so sick of this current era and the way the characters have been changed that anything, even Avengers lite, sounds better.
I don't have very high expectations but I will be open minded and give it a chance.
How would Claremont Bryne Nocenti and Louise Simonson do the title, nring it go a close, and see it continue. Let them close out their 80s run cause those guys got forced out and didn't actually conclude their runs. It left X directionless
I hope we hear the From The Ashes plan after Gerry Duggan is done with this current thing.
I will pick up X-men comics the day they make Cyclops cooler again. I think despite the hate Bendis gets..he did made Cyclops cooler but then Marvel ruined his iteration of cyclops.
😴
Thought this was going to be about Ultimate X-Men as that's also trash
I'm liking the Peach book. I appreciate I don't have to buy the other 11 comics. There's to much going on its expensive and the quality's not there.
Ha o course it is. Its trash.
X men 97>>>>>>*Current X men comics
Yeah I don’t see the point of a bunch of new characters on Gail’s team. I would have gone with Monet and Synch. Especially if it’s going to lean into a New Orleans horror vibe.
McKays team why is juggernaut there? I suppose Idie and Quentin will be dating again otherwise I don’t see the point. Magik and Psylocke make sense for Scott.
Exceptional is all about new characters which is fine. But Kitty and Emma alone seems lacking in star power. Really feels like they should just be back in a mansion.
NYX should have been like a young Uncanny Avengers. Kamala, Laura, Miles, Dust as your core.
I think we are only going to have one solo title that really breaks out if anything
I love me some night crawler! He could have solo series with a good writer! Id go ALL IN for Kurt
If Claremont himself couldn't keep this solo run on Nightcrawler going beyond 12 issues back in 2014, then maybe it's less about the writer and more about the character.
Just watch x-men 97... nuff said 😂😂😂
Facts
Or read the first Chris Claremont run. It's where the writers of X-Men '97 get most of their ideas from.
@@kaczok1985 very true. Still it's all good x-men. Unlike modern x-men lol.
😢😔😒
DESTROY the lil' porkpie hat and you will destroy the man.
So because a character hasn’t traditionally been a book seller
They shouldn’t get a book? This is the attitude that has DC only putting out Batman titles. Sometimes you have to try new things and see what works. Not everyone will land but who knows maybe one of them will end up like Matt Fractions Hawkeye or Ms Marvel. But you won’t ever know if you don’t give anyone a shot
Wes' main critique here is that this X-Men reboot's aim seems to be to release as many solo titles/team books as possible in the shortest amount of time, which is a terrible idea :
Oversaturating the comics market has been one of the main jump off points for many readers at the start of Krakoa and is still a problem readers face today in this last chapter of the era.
Many of the characters teased to be receiving their own solo titles are also known to have previously failed at keeping them going time and time again so to see Marvel giving them another shot isn't very reasonable for them to do considering the current state of X-Men comics.
Give me the cash ..i would make a solo Cyclops book ... there's no reason to not ...hes relationships back in the 70's , lets explore this dimension he gets his power from..., let him buddy back up with manthing ? Space adventure with his dad , wasnt he bonded with apocalypse...he cant some kind of invaluable powers ? If not ...then show how fucking bad ass he his ... getting beating and broken..hes a bad ass fucking..human with healing.. with an emence of fucking powers coming when he .....just looks ....guy just have too look... with 20% less then a hulk punch!!! Dude keeps looking
.... and that's why I'll be purchasing the Dark Horse Library Editions of Mark Millar's Wanted/Big Game and The Ambassadors. Fuck Marvel.
I’m sorry but I don’t care about X-men anymore. I don’t care if Gail Simone did write some good books, I don’t trust her.
The best way to make a proper judgment is by checking her most recent works... Which weren't good at all.
@@spinningtornado4543 yeah you’re right and I’ve read some of her birds of prey. It may have been good at the time but now days it reads like most women written books.
Hello thinking Criticalytes!
I like what DC is doing with the

2000s: Grant Morrison's many classes with many students
2010s : nothing
The woke termites took over and lost their mind when the orange man got elected.
God forbids they come up with something new.
You pretty much nailed it. Right on the money.
Jeezus comic book art just looks God awful these days. Wolverine has been (as far as I know) the only X-Man with a successful solo ongoing title.
Also imagine giving someone a franchise that they don't give a shit about.
Don’t insult the artist
