Uncanny X-Men #7 Preview

[Beetle]

Thompson’s annoyed tweet from three months ago about how we’re all pre-hating for nothing because the story is much more unexpected than the solicitations suggested aged well.

Twitter was a mistake.
"The new Uncanny line up has Moonstar and Karma. That's 2 minorities, so there!"

You say that like you’ve finally found those two extra tokens that’ll let you play PAC-man on the arcade machine see THIS is what people mean by being the “token Asian girl” or “token Native American” like ok I see you and I know you’re at least there but are you going to do anything impactful or just stay as wallpaper

i thought age of x-man is supposed to start after issue 10 and not in issue 7. Lol.

It's obvious that x-man won't be killed by armor next issue because x-man is seen in later issues.

So what's the point of this issue?

right!!! That was my whole mood the entire time while i was reading it

I was referencing a post that Jordan D White made on Twitter where he said that Karma was also on the team so it's not 90% white, just 80%

If you want to know how little the writers/editors care about any of the students not named Armor or Glob: in his fight with Rockslide, Glob refers to him as “Vic”.

Wow.

There are no words

I dont even know how to respond to that

[Harpsikord]

I honestly hate Armor and the fact that this issue was entirely the kids did nothing to endear it to me.

[gifted]

Yep. Rockslide =/= Anole.

Now I’m imagining Anole and Glob fighting and how that would’ve made a lot more thematic sense than Santo.

[The Big G]

I dunno, I think that Amazing Spider-Man 700 might still hold that trophy.

true

IKR!

I AM VIC!

The art was good but the story serves no purpose. What the hell happened to AoA's world? Secret Wars?

Honestly if this a stand-alone or not part of this prelude to Age of Nate garbage, I would've given this a 7/10.

P.S. I'm getting sick of this preachy version of Hisako. At she came back so Laura doesn't pull double-duty.

Benchwarmers can't become stars without meaningfully playing time

Not every benchwarmer is a diamond in the rough. This issue was silly. What a mess this relaunch of Uncanny has turned out to be.

[yogaflame]

Imagine having three writers and none of them can come up with plots to fill 10 issues.

>I thought the art was beautiful!
>How much time has passed? Jesus-Man himself doesn't know but he isn't the most stable person. Months or years? Glob keeps getting stuck in these alternate realities for long periods of time. I wish he'd stay in one forever. And Jesus-Man has been walking around barefoot in a literal Post-Apocalypse for months? Damn.
>We got inside Jesus-Man's head for the first time minus all the messiah BS he's spouting. I can understand his reasoning as put forward here... twisted though it may b.
>The X-Kids weren't horrible here.
>I guess this cliffhanger gets immediately negated by Legion bringing them back home, Jesus-Man repowering and hating the 616 even more, and ushering in his New Age.

His reasoning is about the same as Ben Reilly's in The Clone Conspiracy, insofar as being created, shaped, and tortured by a megalomaniacal monster so he could become a weapon and desperately trying to validate what's left of his own existence by styling himself into a messianic figure that's going to make more of a difference than the heroes he's opposing ever did. All that's left to do now is wait for the inevitable psychotic breakdown when he realizes said heroes will never join him, no matter how tempting (he thinks) the world he wants to create would be for them.
