Great piece. Although I am a little older, a lot of the key issues you describe overlap with my experience of comics, and I think my general politics and outlook is strongly informed by the X-Men.

It overlooks a lot of things that would happen when other people step in. Some theories of time travel posit things will happen no matter what. So maybe Bill Foster or Reed or Hank creates Ultron and...
I vote for Hope 8 times, then Quire and Broo.
I thought you were leaving. I'm sure Westboro Baptist needs you back at headquarters.
I can't help but wonder why someone would be so angry about homosexuals. Unless....
Oh. My.
This post is terrible, from top to bottom.
I'm not sure why everyone is concluding that the Axe thing isn't explained or doesn't make sense, since we have 4 pages of the book. It may be explained, and we also have Kang running around. There...
Same for me. i adore Marrow and Cecilia Reyes, but not Maggot. I don't find him offensive, just not really special. His powers always seemed silly, not interesting.
This is the biggest change from Claremont's day to today. You let the art do more of the work now, and write the conversations so you don't need scads of other stuff. While I think his style is a lot...
Two things:
1. The article leads that Clarenont has not written Uncanny X-Men since 91. He has written it tierce since en, mostly recently in 2006.
2. He says that he doesn't know if he...
I don't buy Batman Inc, but I do buy most of the bat-books. This shocks me, because it throws a lot of the other books off ata. Kind of unexpected time. It doesn't seem to line up with what's going...
The point, you missed it. He was specifically speaking to the inclusiveness and support people have offered making them "real" comic fans, not that the fact that they agree with him making them...
I find these editorial chats so pointless and useless. Its a bunch of corporate lingo and editorial masturbation as they try to cover up or spin whatever disastrous move they are making. Virtually...
Man, that Excalibur run was amazing, and my absolute favorite. I'm a staunch fan of Claremont, but Davis' run by himself was the best Excalibur ever done.
I like apples and oranges.
Hope is awesome, but hating her is becoming a fashionable thing, it seems. She's around for the long haul, so haters better get used to her.
He's been drugged before, too. So, yes, but he REALLY has to hit the sauce.
No Red Hood, Batwoman or Batwing. But I get the rest of them.
I'm so happy Rachel is going to have a role in this. ANd she looks awesome.
Wolverine by himself, acting in his own capacity, is always killing things. When he is with the team or on X-Men business, he reins it in.
I too like there being some separation. There are multiple ways to interpret Xavier's dreams or the X-Men's goals, so have multiple teams to pursue it makes sense and creates drama.
All this.
His initial depiction was 90s trash, but he developed so well over the course of the 90s. I think he was starting to fall off a bit until Messiah Complex, and then that gave him the...
Someone else can post the page, but my favorite Namor moment is when he was with Hope, and he decided to go sex the lobster queen or whatever she was. Afterwards Hope says something to the effect of,...
Oh yes. And interestingly, it isn't necessarily the all-woman team that I like (although having female-centered comics is good). It is because I love all the characters on their own and for who they...
I bummed Zub didn't get his shot.
I'm more bummed by the empty corporate answers-without-substance that DC offered up.
