It’s a fine line between homage and cheap lazy rip off. Hickman ran over it with a freight train. What total garbage.
Thanks for the insights. I went ahead and read Xforce 1-5. . It’s ok but not good enough to keep me interested. Nothing remotely feels like Xmen. I feel like the line is a not as good and even more...
Seem like Xforce was the most promising.
Get Hickman a script writer and an editor
Somewhat depressing list. Claremont's return was cut short for the garbage that was Casey and then Austen. (meanwhile Morrison is my #2 all time Xmen writer so perhaps it was worth it) Brubaker was a...
We'll see if that holds up. It will be interesting to see the drop off from #1 to #2 to #3. I picked up all the #1 out of curiosity and only like Mauraders and X-force but not enough to keep...
This is a disaster. I wonder if Hickman even lasts a year.
So anyone else find it weird that both Rach and Nate are lounging on the round couch in full gear (and cable with a trademark BIG GUN)?
Is this Yu's call?
Just seems to get worse doesn't it? Is there any thing in the world less humorous than Hickman trying to be funny. The Emperor has no Clothes. Wake me when this is all done.
Looks like a snoozer. Who would have guessed that Hickman would be the one to produce the weakest debut issues.
This was a bit of a mess. All the magic occult stuff reminded me of Gerber Defenders but not necessarily in a good way. I’ll be skipping this one for sure for now.
I'm of two minds on this. I like that Xmen is now getting the attention it deserves with an "A-list" "showrunner." I've been however less than impressed with Hickman's writing. I causally read his...
Dumb question. Why a boat and not a plane?
Sounds interesting but I'll wait for all of these new books to show up on Unlimited.
Under Morrison, Jean referred to Scott as "my best friend," "my favorite super hero" and in the end she told him to "LIVE (with Emma)" that she never saw him so free and happy. These are the words...
However the writer at the time wants it to work.
Its just a few us dude. I want to like this and made it through HOX/POX but shitty dialog and shitty art does not make great comics, regardless of who's ever BIG IDEAS!(tm) are behind it. I'd done...
Yes its the poor slobs who never get any who get off the most from these sorts of fantasies. You don't go from a life long Scott-Jean relationship, marriage, breakup, death, rebirth and deep...
Ok I think I'm out until these books come up on Unlimited. HOX/POX left me cold and X-men #1 is more of the same unrecognizable characters and ham-handed dialog and plotting that requires too much...
Cool trailer but is Hickman purposefully pulling our leg with this "The Xmen ARE WINNING" shtick. If that's the case why do sense a permanent feeling of dread on every page?????????
Very cool. While I'm not exactly thrilled with how HOX/POX was executed. I love when creators at least try to engage with the readers. JMS was a master of this and B5 would not have worked without...
100% this. Making X3 Life 6 seems like he made it up after the fact. Why would 6 be the mystery? Why a mystery life at all if this is all that he came up with? Some of the theories on these...
No problem with retcons or changing the status quo. I just wish Hickman found some humanity in his writing and that everything wasn’t so cold and lifeless. Unfortunately this is who he is. He’s not...
Didn’t love any of the above. Lots of cool big ideas but wooden robotic dialog and lots of exposition. These pages are more of the same. “Its part of my charm.” Could be the new “Same thing that...
Not promising. Hickman needs a scripter.
