Have just caught up with #2. Really enjoying the series so far. I’ve liked what I’ve read from Zdarsky before but was never a big fan of Checchetto’s art. It certainly struck me as being too ‘nice’...

Generation Next was brilliant. The darkest of a dark bunch, I loved how grim it was. And Bachalo’s art was just wonderful. Although my favourite moment was Blink vs Holocaust

I’m so glad this is the last issue of Dissassembled. What a hot mess it’s been. Honestly, the only good thing I can say about it is that it’s better than austen’s run. It really has been that bad

Yeah I agree. While I’m annoyed at myself for picking this up, because it was really inconsequential to X-Men as a whole, some of the character work was excellent, packing more into one page than...

Another #1?

I know I’m cutting my nose off to spite my face, but that’s the end of Daredevil for me. I’m fed up of Marvel cancelling books and relaunching straight away with a new #1, so I made a...

It’s been an enjoyable enough story but I just don’t understand the motivations. Hadn’t the O5 come to the conclusion that they needed to go back anyway? If so, why Kid Cable’s subterfuge? Why not...

As well as charging a premium for a ‘new’ #1. Look at Uncanny #1 at $8! You’d think in situations such as these, where it’s supposed to be a ‘jumping on point’ that prices would be lower to entice...

I’m starting to have a big problem with Marvel and this sort of strategy. New number #1? Price hike. ‘Milestone’ issue? Price hike. Final issue? Price hike. Look at Fantastic Four as a recent...

I’m sure if there’s a way to spin money out of it, Marvel will. Anything for a plus sized issue that they can charge more for!

I’m excited by this though. And I hope they get in the Legacy...

I just picked up the 4th 'Complete Epic' book the other day and was finally able to finish it. Really enjoyed it

If I had to pick only 2, it would be Carol Danvers and Reed Richards

But I could be here all day

I like what I've read of Lemire and I'm obviously one of the few that likes Ramos alot, but the presence of Jeen (especially) and OML puts me off.

Unlikely to give the rest a chance

The art looks really good, although I would have preferred if Rahne had looked more like the Larry Stroman design. That was fierce

This. There were some dips in quality (especially compared with what came before), but as a whole it was still a tremendously good run. And there was no comparison in the quality of that compared...

O9 New Mutants
PAD's first X-Factor team
Outback Era

I do have big soft spots for the original X-Force line-up (plus Berto and Ric) and the original Gen-X line-up

I think that's a good point. But if that's the story a writer wanted to tell, again in a franchise like the X-Men, there's enough there over the last 50 years to make it work. And not just from the...

I think it's a great pity if it has come to this.

But for a franchise as historied and varied as the X-Men, it's not the final nail in the coffin. Characters can be uninteresting until someone...

It's an X-Men/Avengers book - or else, why use a title almost synonymous with the X-Men as an adjective in it?

I appreciate that you're not an X-Men reader in the same way I'm not really an...

I thought this was pretty rotten overall

I actually quite liked this title at the beginning, but like his Uncanny X-Force, it started off well and had some interesting concepts and went into very...

I liked UA to start with but once it became apparent (which was fairly quickly) that this latest story was going towards dark future that would be reversed, I lost interest very quickly, and this...

The return would depend on Marvel's investment in it. As I understand it, Marvel didn't start producing their own movies until after the first 3 X-Men films. If Fox were bearing the brunt of the...

I think it's down to a lack of focus

80s
Uncanny X-Men
New Mutants
X-Factor
Excalibur

Each with (mostly) consistent writers, long planned-out arcs and not massive team changes. Each with...

Agreed. It just doesn't make good business sense

Apologies if this is repeating someone as I haven't read the whole thread, but look a the Ultimate line as an example - yes it sold well at the...

Another who thought the issue was disappointing - very rushed and anticlimatic

I also interpreted the nano sentinels as just being for the most recent power disturbances... although I would be...

Like:
Scott and Emma
Havok and Polaris
Colossus and Kitty
Banshee and Moira
Madrox and Siryn
Chamber and Husk
Storm and Forge
Magma and Empath
I kinda like Iceman and Kitty in theory but it...
