I've never seen that issue. I do love the art, and his commentary.

That he is. He's one that grows on you and once you're caught up in the blue, there's no getting away from it. :P

That would be pretty awesome, yes.

Thanks! You have inspirational pictures. Some of the scenes or panels I've liked best in the books over the years have been the mundane ones -- just hanging out in street clothes being people who...

Love this Blithe! They look bored, like two guys about to get into something. I can almost hear the conversation:

Ach, I'm bored!

Yup.

I thought the X-Men led a life of adventure! I was more...

I think we have different definitions of obnoxious. I've seen some Rogue/Magneto/Remy debate, but I don't see them deliberately trolling other threads, bashing on other people's favourite characters...

It's honestly hard to care at this point. It's a shame, because the book started off well. :(

Borrowing more from Claremont, big surprise.

I like the way you think ;)

I love BlitheFool's art. :D

Xavier
Before He was every bit as complex and ambiguous as Magneto, but far more subtle in the depiction of it. On the surface, he was the man with the dream -- the founding father of the X-Men. He...

Yep, Morrison's legacy and the details of it would be a good topic. :)

Magneto
Before He walked the line between being a sympathetic villain and an anti-hero. He was the harsh side of Xavier's dream, poisoned by his personal experiences, and with complex motivations....

Sure thing.:)

There is no denying Claremont's talent in writing stories and characters that had, and still have, massive appeal. He never limited himself to a small handful of the cast, either. We wouldn't...

Would that be the derailment of the thread?

Yeah, though more the lack of focus and attention on others rather than the character itself. Popcorn is good as a treat. Popcorn for every meal gets old.

Yeah, you have to develop a pretty thick skin. Even posters that start out polite and nice sometimes end up acting snarky from time to time, as a result.

If it's this close, why not share the...

Absolutely this. It's like Marvel throws them out there so they can say "here, look, we have lots of minority characters!" then they just don't get used or developed. They wouldn't even leave in use...

He and Cerise got together in Excalibur #55, as his consolation prize for the wrap up with Meggan. They were written as pretty serious. A little more than a year later started the arc where she was...

Since the X-Men franchise was ruined by M-Day and afterwards? No doubt. What it feels like they're trying to do, though, is get X-Men fans invested in the Avengers so they can push them even...

Nightcrawler -- his death. It was a waste in an attempt to prop up a plot device and give it relevance. It also ignored basics of his movement and fighting style as well as power use.
Wolverine --...

I think that's a real problem with modern comics. Marvel's MO for at least the past decade has been to create these new titles or new characters, then bury them saying "well, obviously there was no...

I do see what you're saying, but that's where it gets really difficult. Many if not most iconic characters came into being in the 60's and 70's. Back then, it just wasn't done to include a lot of...

Sales are dropping pretty fast, yeah. It's like most things Marvel launches these days; you can expect maybe a year before cancellation.
