The Bad Guys of AvX?

how nice. years of dedication and compelling story-telling from the x-office railroaded so that a lack-luster and unimaginative title that can't meet its own deadlines could be born and flourish.

It wouldn't have necessarily been bad if it was a solo X-Men story.

But I think because the decimation really began with House of M, which was a joint X-Men/Avenger story they felt it was appropriate to end it with one as well.

Plus, this story was essentially and end point to an entire era of marvel comics that arguably started with Bendis Disassembled. So I think they believed it was fitting. And it also helps lead into Uncanny Avengers.

As far as putting Scotts characters in the trash... right now he's essentially the patron saint of the X board. So he seems good.

I guess there is nothing like killing another character to make a hero more popular.

I'm not sure really anyone got rail roaded. Bendis was really the guy that started the whole thing with Disassembled and House of M. So it made sense that he was not only a major architect of AvX, but the guy that went on to continue writing the X books. There's actually a lot of symatry there if you think about it.

of course you wouldn't. you have never seemed particularly invested in the x-men stories apart from how they affect avenger books. so i can understand why you can't see how much of an embarrassment avx was for all parties concerned.

Well, if you don't like it then you don't like it.

Either way, I think X fans ended up getting some pretty good X books out of it in Marvel Now. So I think the X franchise looks pretty good coming out of AvX.

making lemonade out of lemons is what x-men usually do.

Which death made who more popular? How are you making that leap?

As X-Men are fictional beings that don't really exist, I'm hesitant to give them too much credit.

I'll give Bendis credit for putting out a pretty solid X book. But he got there through the the ground work he himself layed out in AvX, House of M, and Disassembled.

Lol, I don't get this post at all.

What? Disassembled literally has NOTHING to do with ANY of the NOW X-titles.

I think that entire era of marvel can essentially be book ended with Diassembled and AvX.

It started with Wanda going nuts in Disassembled, which let to her depowering mutants in House of M, a problem which was eventually reversed in AvX. And Marvel Now is the fall out from that. That's what I meant by ground work. You can actually track the progress of the story event to event starting with Diassembled to where we are now.

Disassembled had a huge impact on the Avengers to be sure, but is has nothing to do with the X-men.

House of M had a pretty big effect on the X-Universe. And that story really began with Disassembled. Like I said, I think the ground work was being layed out there.
