CBR: Axel-In-Charge - Dec 9, 2011

[Kid Q]

Did he really mean Inertia? As in resistance to change of momentum. That's not a word I associate with something pacey.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe it was accidental honesty.

You're misunderstanding how he is using the word. Inertia is "the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion." So, if something with a lot of inertia is moving, it tends to keep moving.

A freight train has a huge amount of inertia; if it is moving at 60 miles an hour, it is very hard to stop it.

"Momentum" would probably have been a better word choice, but "inertia" is technically correct.

[OmniAural]

Very true.

I still like the idea of it all though as the return of the Phoenix (and Jean, if it happens) is overdue.

Hopefully, this will be the event that Marvel gets right.

I do think that with Wanda and Phoenix involved there will be some sort of reboot/retcon involved in the climax as Axel just can't stop dropping hints at the shape of Marvel following the end.

[Sebastos]

I'm really happy to see Iron Fist will have a big role in 2012, the year of the dragon! Danny's really risen up the ranks these last few years, in the latest vote for CBR's top 50 Marvel characters, fans voted Danny all the way to 16. That says alot and his fanbase continues to grow.

This is why the Phoenix Force chooses Squirrel Girl...



Axel, you are a sick puppy. I love it.

There needs to be a whole line of 'Squirrel Girl as other heroes'
Like Squirrel of Vengeance, Venom-Squirrel, Hit-Squirrel, Doreen Green the White Queen...

[CaptainBarbel]

Is it really that bad? Why can't you just consider it one more x-book. I remember buying spiderman at a newsstand only to have a crossover pop up and not be able to read the story cause the stand didn't carry it.

Why can't this be just another book featuring the x-men you buy, at least it will be easy to find

Honestly? I love Xmen but I hate the Avengers. I dont want to read about them. I got into Xmen partly because I've been told they've been mostly insulated from the rest of the Marvel Universe, and have been a self contained mythos.

Captain Squir-rel, Giant-Squirrel, Quantum Squirrel, American Squirrel, Gamma Squirrel, Captain Universe Squirrel, Aqua Squirrel, Citizen Squirrel.

And if she joins Steve Roger's clandestine team, she can become Secret Squirrel.

bring her back with the Great Lake Avengers, and give them their own title (and not a "special" with fart-jokes)..Something serious -seriously weird I mean- they could be Marvel' DOOM PATROL..

I have a feeling this will end with the thorough trouncing of the X Men by the Avengers. This will also probably lead to the end of Utopia. Hopefully.

If the X-Men "lose" to the Avengers, it may be the biggest job in comics. Their only hope of earning even a draw would be if they had Thor available.

I have a feeling that maybe a disservice to the X-Men is coming for the promotion of the Avengers movie

[Sabrewulf]

Although Im pleased Marvel isnt going to flood the market yet again with pointless minis. Im not looking forward to six months of the same concept creeping into books I've just started picking up again.

Ill suffer it in the Gage books because he manages to make these crossovers work. WATXM im on the fence about. It's a great book but I was liking it becauae it was pulling away from the same old characters in every book formula. I guess it depends on what he does with it.

Remender can do no wrong in my eyes and hope he will use the crossover as a springboard for more stories that are grounded in the MU mythos as opposed for having to bend his plots to meet the event.

They do have Thor available. '.'

[destro]

Irrelevant
Really? Yeah i besides the big guys who have to be there for sales it should focus more on Avengers with connections to the X-men like say Ms. Marvel or Black Panther then guys who have none.

Pheonix is a cosmic force and the X-men are bringing a great deal of firepower to bear against the Avengers. Hawkeye shoots sticks what precisely is he going to do against Namor his opponent in the teaser or even Cyclops?

"Shooting sticks" was good enough to take down an elder of the universe at one point.

[BigMike20X6]

Captain Squir-rel, Giant-Squirrel, Quantum Squirrel, American Squirrel, Gamma Squirrel, Captain Universe Squirrel, Aqua Squirrel, Citizen Squirrel.

And if she joins Steve Roger's clandestine team, she can become Secret Squirrel.

Yes, then they shall usher in the Age of Squirrel Girl. Love it.

So far the best news for me is that there won't be 7 million tie in mini series to buy! When was the last time that happened???

agreed!! especially with the main book being 12 issues!
