Three pages and no one's mentioned Porcupine? Currently in Spider-Woman's supporting cast as her child-minder

As others have pointed out, diamond shipping numbers are meaningless aside giving a rough indication of what comics are doing relative to each other. As for your other question, are comics viewed as...

Mockingbird is a non-linear puzzle-box, so we don't know how "serious" the story is yet, but the tone has been deliberately very comedic and light-hearted from #1. But even if the resolution is of...

This is fine, but successfully intetegrated minorities don't separate our clubs & institutions - so you'd have to introduce non-mutant characters into the X-Men for the metaphor to hold. They could...

So please explain the reason d'être of the X-Men if mutants are allowed to successfully integrate into society. I can't see one; it would feel retrograde to have a racially segregated team.
...

Possibly, but I'm not sure I entirely agree - my experiences as a 'model minority' are always going to be totally different to that of a more oppressed minority. I'm never going to be as...

Yes, individual mutants, but the whole "mutants a metaphor" doesn't really work to tell model minority stories.
e.g. I'm a British Indian - growing up, and to a lesser extent today, everyone wanted...

Whilst I agree with what you've been posting here, making new characters not mutants clears up IP issues beyond debate and makes for clearer story telling as if lots of new mutants suddenly appeared...

Don't you come in here being all sensible & level headed. You're a comicbook fan, so start panicking and hating any change ever ;)


You say that, but look at the Sales - events/crossovers/tie-ins...

I bought issue #1, but as it got both basic geography & history very wrong I dropped it immediately.

I no longer have to work twice as hard - Read the link I posted. Because my parents & grand parents worked not twice, but four times as hard, my generation and the next is better educated than the...

*dons monocle* It's your fault Frenchman - you supported their revolution despite seeing that they were barbarous enough to waste damn fine tea in Boston harbour. ;)

Thanks for the heads-up about the new Giant-man, I'll check him out. I'd forgotten about the new Inhumans (I love the Inhumans comics but somehow they slipped my mind). Didn't know about the others,...

One of the most underrated events Marvel published, and it was totally possible to skip it entirely by not buying #number.AU comics, which I really wish was done more often so I cold choose between...

"Voicing it" on a quasi-anonymous internet forum doesn't really do much apart from make it look like you have a weird sort of victim complex. I'm of Indian ethnic origin - the closest looking...

To those complaining that it looks like Carol is a "Government stooge" or whatever. Remember she's ex-military and actually now seemingly working back in quasi-military government job in her own...

My point was that it was possible to write around the cloud had the writer wanted, I took 10 seconds on that idea, a good writer could come up with something a million times better. We all know it's...

What's with that, anyway? Why did they choose to move to limbo? Or give me the comic & issue number, so I can find out.
The X-Men have the tech to go to the moon (as I pointed out earlier); why...

It took me all of 10 seconds to think up & I'm not a professional comics writer. The point is that I just thought up a way of ignoring the cloud completely if they wanted to that quickly. If I can do...

Surely that's just accepting lazy writing?

I already gave one idea I made up on the fly, here's another - have them carry on as normal from an underground base, wearing cool looking, but subtle gas masks (let the artist design something...

I try and follow creators, not franchises (though I'll always give the next writer on a book I'm pulling a chance) - I started reading Inhuman stories because Soule was writing them. The only...

This sounds more like bad writing in the X-Books than anything else. I'm reading all the Inhumans stuff out at the moment, and Soule has been telling their story with almost no reference to Mutants...

Really? I loved it, combined with Uncanny, has thrown out a bunch of plot seeds everywhere whist being a solid story in it's own right. Just what you want from a first arc.

I didn't know Fiege was a fan of the Inhumans, that's great to know. I hope he's reading the current Inhuman titles too as they're all killing it. I agree with all the rest you said about the...
