Holy necro, Batman!

My first exposure to No Man's Land was in a novelization, which I really, really liked as a kid. I'm not quite as fond of the comics the novel was based on, but I still enjoy more than 99% of Batman...

I assumed your theory was supposed to explain the whole 'there's nothing of Illyana in the soul sword and she never created it' retcon Marvel used to justify Amanda getting the sword and becoming the...

While it would be nice, expecting a truly faithful adaptation of anything is asking for too much except in very specific circumstances where all the stars align. Ultimately, many details are going...

They are indeed positioning it as 3 main books with X-Men in the title along with a bunch of supporting books. But there's a clear difference between the book that's presented as front and center,...

Uncanny isn't the flagship of From the Ashes. The flagship is adjectiveless, as shown by it being the center of the promotional material, led by Cyclops and Magneto, and the one that is telling the...

Magik's always been held back by being on team books. Going back to the 80s, Claremont had to nerf her to hell and back just his trainee team could function with her on it, leading to the ridiculous...

Currently there are 4 soul swords in the Marvel universe, though I pray Marvel comes to their senses and it goes back to just 1 very soon. There's the sword Rasputin brought from the Sins of...

Those have all been in covers, never in a story, whether anon or not.

Also agree on the top blue one. The soul sword works best when it's something that can be used with finesse, like a normal sword or a lightsaber. The giant bust sword can only be used like a giant...

I fear there will be no explanation at all.

What needs to happen at some point is she needs to confront the character flaws that led her to give up rulership of Limbo in the first place. The...

An alternate Illyana who is the sorceress supreme appears in that world appears in Weapon X-Men today. She's there to be Worfed, but Phoenix says that Onslaught was afraid of Illyana.

I had a fun time. It was obviously nowhere near as good as Minus One, but it works very well as popcorn entertainment. The best description I can give is that it's like if Final Wars had better...

If I said that Duggan's stories are being reset but this Magneto story and the Avengers issue still happen, then obviously I don't believe that Krakoa is being reset, but part of this final storyline...

This makes me wonder if the reason Duggan is going so off the walls is because, like Rosenberg in 2018-19, his stuff is not going to matter the second it's over because it'll all be undone by a...

It is not a coincidence that the focus is on Ahsoka's 2 primary antagonists. Bariss is the ghost of her past and the reason she left the Jedi Order, and Morgan was the primary antagonist of Ahsoka...

In theory, I can tolerate the idea that in a literal war and when facing the genocide of millions of mutants, the gloves come off and they cross lines they wouldn't otherwise cross, including...

I wouldn't say that Duggan forgot he resolved the nanite plot. It's more that she was never part of the actual story, and devoting a sidequest to resolving the dangling nanite plot from almost a...

It's amazing how similar X-Men 32 was last month to Bendis's Uncanny 33 on paper.

Both issues are about Illyana and Kitty reuniting and teaming up to rescue mutant children. The difference is one...

With every issue, Duggan gets me more and more ready for Krakoa to end so that X-Men will be free of his writing. This was somewhat better than previous issues in that things actually seem to be...

X-Men 33 goes right back to the 'Illyana's powers aren't working' well the very next issue after she got her powers back. She might as well not be in the Orchis story at all.


I tweeted a...

That's also true and raises so many questions.

I really want them to do an episode that's devoted to retelling the original Magik miniseries. Once that has a single faithful adaption there won't...

The thing is, the culmination of Illyana's story wasn't actually all that important to Inferno. Even though it was supposed to be the culmination of everything Claremont had been building up for her...

If the book heavily features Laura, then yes. She is more popular than anyone in the New Mutants, even Magik, and would be enough of a draw to keep the series going. Without her, they cannot hold a...
