Many characters require reading the right story at the right moment I have found. There are several ways to get to like a character. Not to say you will. Gambit has a fair share of badly written...

I'm intruiged how can you know that you don't like Gambit at all yet not be familiar with Rogue? It's hard to read Gambit without getting Rogue too. Outside of comics Gambit hasn't been used that...

Well Monica served several functions.

She was there as a point of view character for us to understand how the world outside the hex was reacting. In that capacity her role was mostly fulfilled mid...

It was underwhelming in the aspect that it didn't advance the plot for many characters. It also zigged when many wanted it to continue forward like the episode before it. Still I liked it and I think...

Great art Purp. And even though that might be the sword of Godric Gryffindor in his hands I will see him as Ravenclaw =)

Oh I'm talking about the whole "I'm going to tell him soon". It's potential for misstrust in the future is strong. As much as the monologue scene brought them togheter the fallout of MJ keeping...

Well Clone Conspiracy brought back Ben Reilly. Something I had waited for since his original death. Yet I never picked up his ongoing or any subsequent appearance. It also made me very negative...

Entering into a conversation, or a confrontation as this one is, with the lord of lies without any sort of strategy for handling lies would be extremly foolish. Strange must expect that whatever...

I took a quick glance in the X-men 18 thread at it seemed that issue was weak. If I was to read it it would be for Laura first and foremost.

Are Hickman seeding a romance between Synch and Laura?...

Well characters with powers means that what is an internal struggle can manifest in a external way. In a very flashy and destructive way. I think that is and has been the lure with doing these kind...

Unless we get a new book I don't see Rogue&Gambit being used if Excalibur is disbanded or they leave the book. As of now I find myself preferring limbo. Only because it would not let Marvel get away...

I wonder how that will affect Sales for Excalibur. It's a book people would forget rather quickly if it didn't get published regularly. At least that is my impression of the investment fans has in it.

Is it out today?

The one they went with has more characters but less impact. Still that one was mostly to get people talking and it's better to introduce new characters for that. Then it's more interesting to look at...

I'm assuming you mean the 90's. We had Joseph and Maggot.

Back in blue he had Hank and Scott beyond Logan. Witch didn't set up any real relationships. Perhaps Hank more that he joked with Gambit....

Different vehicles with different engines. Perhaps a more apt comparission would be first 17 issues of X-men vs Morrisons first 17 issues. Still the years and writing styles have also changed since...

While I loved Jubilee and Gambit in X-23 I can't remember any other time they interacted beyond blue team. Even back in Blue team I can't come up with any particular moments other then the basketball...

You are missing my point. But that discussion isn't suited for a thread about X-corp. PM me if you want to continue.

Good post. Sadly I'm not invested enoguh to actually help you out. Still it's a good post and should be commended as such.

Lets clarify one thing. How Tini uses characters are a very valid question and criticism. Because it's not built on oppinion. It's built on breaking down scenes, plot, issues and arcs. How did that...

I agree. The work has a value and a level of craft that can be discussed and should be discussed. If everything was just opinions then discussions would be meaningless. We as humanity should just...

It's strange to go from wanting more titles to think there are too many. There used to be several characters that i felt where underused and now when many are being used it feels hollow.

Excalibur...

It's some fascination with the macabre that drives me. I had allready given up hope that it could improve. Now it's all times bad for me. Milligram or Tini. It's that bad.

I think this was Tini's best issue so far and it helped that it was more contained. Both in plot and setting. Less scattered scenes and a more even progression from scenes when they did move.

It...

So I have just finished Excalibur 18 and now there is no shadow of doubt left in my mind. Tini Howard can’t write Gambit.

His lack of panels have delayed this verdict. Now he is given a scene with...
