As a fellow X-Men fan, I can certainly understand the complex. In fact I think X-Men fans have a lot to be mad about. Sure there are a lot of X-books on the shelves today, but they're so boring and...
A lot depends on how you choose to define failure.
Has Marvel succeeded in making The Inhumans more popular? Not really.
Have the Inhuman books been any good to read? Yes, absolutely. ...
for reals, Secret Warriors #4 was a blast. Intense, but still balanced with a lot of funny moments.
Today's issue of Black Bolt... whoa. I have my review up at attilanrising.com if anyone is interested. :3
I disagree with the notion that a book 'failed' simply because it didn't garner the sales numbers required to keep it on the shelves. The book didn't sell well for a myriad of different reasons, but...
true. Although Lee went a bit further when discussing the matter with The Guardian in 2000 when he said:
"I couldn't have everybody bitten by a radioactive spider or zapped with gamma rays, and it...
idiocy
I disagree. The X-Men were originally conceived as Lee and Kirby's take on the civil rights movement of the 60's. Mutants were very much meant to act as a metaphorical stand in for...
Maybe some get the wrong idea because the term has the word 'law' in it. A better translation may be code, or creed, or guiding principles. No where in the United States does Sharia Law supersede...
Western demagogues have succeeded in demonizing the mere mention of Sharia Law. In truth all it means is to live in accordance to the virtues of God's will. Extremists can interpret it in an...
alas, I believe you're correct.
I sought out a voice I trust on the matter and came across G. Willow Wilson's response to the issue from her tumblr:...
first off, omit the term 'gypsy' from your lexicon; it's a bigoted slur for the Romani people.
Secondly, you're correct that The X-Men have a hugely diverse pool of characters. Unfortunately...
from the New York Times

this one from Snopes requires a bit more close reading, it references...
is that right? The articles I've read seemed different. I'll admit I'm not terribly well versed on the entirety of their work.
What I do know a thing or two about is Linda Sarsour, and the...
eh, much to do about nothing. Edit the material out of the trade paperback and tell Syaf not to do it again.
I'm more concerned by Bleedingcoolnews becoming this weird nationalistic,...
They days of The Inhumans being an isolated people may be over, but that doesn't mean they will completely assimilate to the human world and human culture.
The experiment of making The Inhumans...
'Redemption' I think is the wrong word. Ewing seems to be directing The Inhumans back to their roots. Unapologetic alien weirdos who maintain certain aspects of attitude and morality antithetical...
that's the rub.
There are all sort of problematics entailed in the culture of Attilan and it makes for the focus of the story.. allowing for allegory. Yet the problematics of Psylocke just gets...
the assumption being that my liking The Inhumans predisposes me to be an ultra-conservative isolationist unconcerned by racial and sexual justice?
Give me a break...
Iso and Flint were together for a hot minute, but she broke things off right near the beginning of All New Inhumans. Then, in the first issue of Royals, it was intimated that they were back together...
huh? why's that?
well said, and you beat me to the punch. Race is indeed a social construct, but racism nonetheless pervades as a hugely destructive and deleterious force.
I actually like Psylocke quite a bit,...
ooohh, you just re0-broke my hear bringing up Shard. She was a favorite :(
it's an impressive list, too bad all are absent from the X-Men flagships Blue and Gold.
Don't get me wrong, I love the X-Men and there have been a lot of great Mutants representing a wide variety of...
they gave it a okay shot with Marjorie Liu's short run on Astonishing X-Men (vol. 3).
Unfortunately, they saddled that book with an illustrator that had near zero broad stream appeal.
Though...
