The Marvel Ultimate Alliance game was my first exposure to most Marvel characters that weren’t Spider-Man. Oh, Marvel Versus Capcom 2 as well.

I do think the big miss of all the AI stuff getting stuffed into the last three months of the era is that we don’t get to see how the heroic AI of the Marvel Universe respond.

How great would...

As absent from the main books as she’s been, Firestar had a great showing in Unlimited, I thought.

Honestly, Duggan’s use of MODOK seems more inspired by the Patton Oswald / Jordan Blum MODOK cartoon than anything else. And outside of that, MODOK is just one of those villains that pretty...

It’s a bit odd that Duggan’s writing in the FotHoX mini leaves so much room for tie-ins to flesh things out but then his own tie-ins don’t do that at all.

It’s not a lineup that interests me, whether it’s been a long time since these characters were together or no.

But, you know, I am fine with that. It’s not a crime for Marvel to produce books I’m...

I feel like this series is just sort of a dud in the shadow of Children of the Vault. Nice as it is that Nicieza gets to wrap up his Black Womb plot, I would have rather seen Deniz Camp continue on...

I mean, the modern age of Marvel Comics was founded on the Fantastic Four, starring a legacy character (Human Torch).

But the difference between most of the examples presented and mutants are the...

He lead mutantkind when the were a group of less than 200. A refugee population mixed with a guerrilla resistance.

That is not really transferable experience to running a nation of 200,000.

Scott is a field leader. The Quiet Council is a desk job. It wouldn’t have suited him.

I must say that as somebody who started reading during Dark Reign, Cyclops yelling at Charles is always a...

I’m just annoyed the name isn’t Goblin Spider. That’s an actual type of spider! Come on!

Otherwise I’m onboard… but...

I mean, it seems that they were literally not given the time to do that, no.

They literally did bring in new writers, though. Just in Fall of X alone they brought in Deniz Camp and Steve Foxe. Iman Vellani and Sabir Pirzada. Torunn Grønbekk. Louise Simonson.

Al Ewing has mentioned that Genesis War was originally going to be a year-long arc, so clearly things were accelerated.

Was that a Feige decision? I don’t know. I’m more inclined to think it was...

I mean, based on the end of RotPoX #3, Xavier clearly has a plan. He put something in Moira’s mind

To me, this is why Mutants need to be in the same universe as the rest of the Marvel heroes for the Mutant metaphor to make sense.

If I’m being honest, any comic where Cyclops gets to tell off Charles Xavier is a winner in my book.

Well, he’s dead. That doesn’t help.

I’m expecting to see a last wave of resurrections before the era is over. After all, Quentin Quire is currently a decapitated head, but he looks intact in the previews for McKay’s book. I don’t see...
