Marvel Announces New 'Multiple Man' Series (Exclusive)

[Anduinel]

I like how all these new solo books are miniseries. Ongoing solo X-books hardly ever make it past the first year anyway and I'd much rather read a story that has a beginning and an end, and perhaps a sequel the following year if successful enough.

Agreed. Knowing they have 5 issues to tell a complete, self-contained story has got to be easier on a writer than wondering if they're going to get a second or third arc to pull the trigger on character development.

I'll just wait for the reviews and summaries and then will decide if I should get the tpb.

My issue with the focus on miniseries is that, to me, it seems to indicate a lack of a strong, clear, and cohesive direction for the X-line as a whole. They seem to be just throwing random ideas at wall to see what sticks. I'm also confused as to how and why they choose what is called an ongoing and what is a mini. Why is Domino an ongoing, but New Mutants isn't?

[Mike_Murdock]

His Phoenix Resurrection mini was awful : the pacing, the story, ... And if you compare it with Pak's endsong mini, it's worst.

PR had potential, but even the weird things led to nowhere. It was just about style : the reverse dialogues, the twin peaks vibe with no substance. And it really, really lacked emotions (I expect XMR annual to fix that)

So I take it you haven't read Secret Warriors or Kingpin?

Yes I haven't. So I take he's good with those books. Which is understandable. Milligan was good with X-Force/X-Statics and wasn't good with the core book.

To have an extreme answer to that, Hitler's thing was to kill jews. It doesn't make it ok.

What the ****?

I read Secret Warriors. It ranged from barely tolerable to horrible. Overall, it just had zero reason to exist.

[Imago]

Although i'm not sure what to make of that Rosenberg interview, i'm still very excited about this.. And i hope it's well received so it can lead to a new X-Factor book.

This seems like the most logical answer. If we'd done that with PR, a lot of us could've saved some money.

This is why I felt nothing when he died in Death of X. He's way too easy to kill off and resurrect.

Oh, I guess my feeling about Rosenberg is not that wrong.

I like him... Is he good again?

Just teasing. I thought his "4 Kids walk into a Bank" was brilliant. I loved "Kingpin" also. Phoenix was good. I really like "Secret Warriors" but I'm a huge Karnak and Ms. Marvel fan so I was pre disposed to like it.

I've heard the "book had no reason to exist" phrase before. What does it mean? I don't understand. Can anyone who has used it explain what they mean?

[Adam-X]

Ehhh. I would have preferred an actual X-Factor relaunch. This already has red flags for me. The art doesn't grab me. The M tattoo is missing. No Layla Miller, who Madrox should still be married too.And being a solo book, this likely won't surpass 11 issues. Good to see something new, but I have my doubts. Ah well, at least Siryn and maybe Wolfsbane will show up

I bet you're right that it doesn't pass 11 issues.

Because, you know, it's a limited series and all...

The sass is real. I wasn’t aware it was a miniseries when I posted this.

OK, to each its own. I thought it was a charming book with some very effective humor that would work well in a Multiple Man book.
