The Avengers or other superhero teams taking an interest in mutant affairs after an enormous atrocity was committed on a sovereign nation would be a welcome precedent to set for X-Men 97.

I get the magna/high school horror aesthetics and all. That's to be expected with Peach Momoko. But seriously...it's the same freakin' plot. No variation at all...in the second issue, no less. It...

Sign me the hell up for this right now!!! :o

This issue basically retold the events of the first issue, beat for beat.

Hisako gets a mysterious hand-written letter, telling her to meet at some shady location.

She foolishly agrees...again....

Yeah, I didn't care for that moment, either. I think it's one of Jean's worst moments. But I also understand why it was included, beyond just mirroring the comics.

It basically ensures nobody is...

Given recent history, I suspect Marvel will set up another stupid love triangle to milk for melodrama. Since they never got a chance to work out their issues before things went south at the last...

Knowing Marvel, they'll milk this for endless drama between Scott and Jean over the course of several years.

It might also imply that everything after Fall of X is even more awful than we...

We already knew on some levels this was coming. But it's still great to have confirmation. :o

If you want to know who the real Jean is...just pick the one who fainted. That's probably the real Jean. ;)

Based on what has come out on some of the reactions, that plot will pick up in the third episode.

My theory is that a version of "Jean" will show up at the door of the institute, claiming to be...

Too early to speculate because we don't know many details. But something must have happened behind the scenes. And it must have been pretty bad for Marvel and Disney to just fire someone a week...

This book could not achieve what Black Panther and Spider-Man achieved in one issue. And rather than accept that this book was flawed or lacking, you say it's just the first issue.

How does that...

If Momoko simply used the same approach of X-Men 2099, but adapted to this new Ultimate Universe, I would totally be on board with that. I think that could've definitely worked, set up as a world in...

You can put carrots, celery, spinach, and apple slices in a box labeled "Krispe Kreme Donuts" all you want. That doesn't make the contents Krispe Kreme donuts.

Then, explain why nobody was making that point for Ultimate Spider-Man or Ultimate Black Panther.

At the very least, can we agree the pacing here is slow?

Very little happens and Hisako's...

This part has me legitimately concerned and a little frustrated because that's NOT the over-arching theme of X-Men, although it is a small part of it. The key is WHY these kids are seen as outsiders...

Further proof that they truly did not care about this title and had no real vision for it.

So, this title can't use Storm. Instead, we're getting what is essentially a replacement character who's somehow supposed to fill that massive void?

Yeah, that won't work. Marvel already tried...

Then, why not just read Demon Days? Why not just read something that isn't X-Men? If you want to see a talented young creator tell such a different story, there are plenty of indie creators who do...

"It's only been one issue."

Why are so many people making that excuse for this comic when it wasn't necessary for Spider-Man or Black Panther? Do you not see why that's a problem? If in the first...

Didn't like the first issue at all. But I am willing to give the second issue a chance in hopes that it's actually building towards something.

However, I'm genuinely concerned about Maystorm...

That does actually make sense. If they're purposefully making this title too different to even qualify as an X-Men comic so they don't cannibalize their own sales, I can see that. It's still...

Is that the right link? It says it was removed.

Well, you just said it. The book had Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben. They are the Fantastic Four. Most recognize them as being part of the Fantastic Four, even without their powers. And the aesthetics...

I...am...ready! :cool:
