The significance is a personal opinion. If you want to base the significance to the characters Q rating, have at it. I think that's a bit silly, though. It's like complaining that gay Iceman isn't...

Are you suggesting it is a deliberate shot against the gay community to out Iceman in a franchise of declining prominence?

Complex indeed.

I'm pretty sure it was just Bendis going for a quick...

I can't see how Bendis's X-Book run can be considered anything other than lackluster. I don't know who's more at fault, Bendis or the editors, but I'd hang it on both. The books behaved like...

Pretty much nailed it, IMO.

She said she would take responsibility of the 05 as a way to honor Xavier. What better way to honor Xavier than to ditch your charges and disappear to space to be with your lover?

Kitty's downfall can be traced back to Whedon's Astonishing. Claremont's Mekanix did a great job of showing her as an independent woman with an individual dream, while Whedon seemed to throw this...

There were no rewrites, I'm sure.

I had high hopes for his Kitty. I enjoyed his Ultimate version. But he doubled down on Aaron's schoolmarm Kitty. And that whole Kitty Schism at the end of BotA... Now I just want it to be over.

The last year of Uncanny has been such a train wreck, they should just cancel #600. Why even bother.

I see this as a positive. Hated, feared and chased through streets by pitchfork/torch wielding mobs is the mutant wheelhouse. It obviously matters how the story plays out, but I don't see the setup...

The whole 'phase out of sync with the earth' trick was used twice in Claremont's X-Treme X-Men. In God Loves Man Kills 2, she phases Stryker's adamantium suit through the earth, causing Storm great...

I think at this point it’s impossible to credibly argue that Marvel/Disney aren’t purposefully minimizing the X-Men franchise relative to franchises for which they own the cinema rights. I don’t...

I'm hardly a Jean expert, but it's my understanding that she wasn't telepathic at that time because Xavier blocking those abilities. Bringing her to the future out of the reach of Xavier allowed her...

Beautiful art.

I was under the impression that the whole broken powers thing was resolved with that horrible Dark Beast reveal.

"Franchise Writer"

Hahaha

Well, this story did "change everything." The schools are consolidated now and it looks like Cyclops is going to hit the road solo. (perhaps to work on a fishing boat?) My biggest issue with the...

Isn't the arc where her makeover occurred still ongoing? (7 issues ago = yesterday morning in Bendis time)

This story started last July as an Original Sin tie in. Original Sin came and went. Axis came and went. Wolverine died 4 months ago. Secret Wars is on the horizon. And this arc still has no end...

If only Secret Wars could reset the X-Verse back to the end of AvX, with Gillen continuing his Uncanny run from there uninterrupted.

The time for Schism to end was AvX. It went from mildly compelling storyline to arbitrary team division separating Bendis' alternate universe from X-Men comics right around AvX.

Astonishing takes place at the then current continuity, but the stories themselves pay no attention to what went on in other current comics. Other comics may reference things that happened in...

Well's run is excellent. One of the the best runs of the last decade, IMO. It fell off considerably after he left the title, though.

Claremont doesn't even know why Marvel won't let him write Kitty in his Nightcrawler book:

Are men not aggrieved under such circumstances? Does unrequited affection not produce inherently unbalanced emotional reactions between the participants? Is blame automatically assigned with the...

This book is greater than the sum of its parts. I think it didn't sell because it didn't have an A-list cast to draw people in, it didn't have flashy art to draw people in, and while the writing was...
