Advance Review: ALL-NEW X-MEN #1

[Seresecros]

I don't understand. How would they lose their jobs? Do the reviewers work for DC and Marvel?

the websites can't sustain traffic without a constant flow of "exclusives". The reviews upset the big companies, then they'll stop handing exclusives out until the reviewer is fired

Mystique is boring imo. And I'll always have a distaste for villains who die and then inexplicably return as if they never died in the first place.

Mystique's return was explained in the same issue that she died.

I'm not sure why the review is surprised that the book which is a nostalgia fest is not offering anything new and revolutionary.

I approve of the limited Wolverine. He's in too many books already, and has been diluted to meaninglessness. Cyclops is the more compelling character now anyway.

Wade von Grawbadger has the best name ever. I want to marry him to get that surname.

Yeah- I doubt the occasional bad review in the most important and/or editorially pushed books will do any damage, but too many of them might.

It’s clear Bendis is writing this book with the intention of breaking down two points of view that will go to equal extremes to make things right. This is something that should be commended considering most comics are intended to be enjoyable snacks and nothing more.

I loved the PostScript that this is “most drastically insane X-Men story..ever.” Bit much no? I'm not sure it's that drastic, at least not yet. I reviewed the issue with pictures here if anyone cares to peruse my thoughts on Beast ideology versus Cyclops ideology.

I disagree with that, I like brain food. It's a way to make it feels as if the story is actually going somewhere. Also who says that a book about two idelogies can't be an enjoyable snack?

In what comic did they break Emma out of prison?

My point was that this book is MORE than just an enjoyable snack. I enjoyed this issue.

By snack I mean short or action heavy books with not a lot of thinking necessary which you must agree is all over the place in comics. Justice League, a plethora of Marvel comics (A+X comes to mind).

Just wanted to say that I loved this issue (and I was a x-men hater in the 90s) and feel that this has been the best Marvel Now ussue so far, im on board for now.
