Uncanny X-Men #7 Preview

I admit my ignorance.
Could you (or anyone really) tell me that context of that one ?

X-Force Vol. 1 #19

I don't think you have full grasp on the situation; most of these "newer X-Kids" as you call them have been around for like 15 years, they have their fans and most of the complaints about them tend to focus on how ill-used they are.

Also never judge characters base on "Events" (Yes, this is an event, the actual series beings with #13) they're rarely written in character; see signature for related rant.

I get what youre saying, but my grasp of the situation is based on what I've read over the last 2 years of these characters. I like them. I know thats subjective, but hey, subjectivity sells books.

Also, the New Mutants had their own junior league team for almost ten years before Cable pulled them up to the big leagues in X-Force.

And as much as what the problem might be with them, there sure are a lot of people here who hate them based on the all-encompassing "he/she sux, dude".

Wait, why is Glob on fire?

Wait, why is Glob on fire?

he is flammable, similar to a candle
he is set on fire in the Morrison run (the Quentin Quire Riot in the Mansion story), he even calls himself "the Inhuman torch". Cyclops, Beast and Xorneto stop him

edit: he seems to have acquired the ability to set himself on fire at will

A totally random time jump during an arc nobody cares about? Oookay.

What the hell did Legion do?

Gotta applaud the writers for their consistency though. They don't just rip off the classics, but also the darkest depths like Lemire's run. Maybe they can also cram Mesmero somewhere in those last three issues.

I'd get an actual laugh out of it, which would be a hell of a step up from the x-brats schisming in AoA or whatever.

I like X-man and all but i hope he stays trapped in the Age of Apocalypse. If you want to be a big boy and change the world using your beyond omega mutant abilities, start with your own dysfunctional timeline.

Killed two birds with one stone. Rid of the hippie white Jesus and rid of the mouthy X-brats.

I gues the main difference between the New Mutants and New X-Men is the situations they were put under. The problem is that the New Mutants striking out on their own was a natural conclusion to their story. They had never really been "official" X-Men and Xavier's flowery ideology betrayed them. The New X-Men HAVE been X-Men, have proven themselves time and time again (something that veterans like Psylocke, Kitty, Cyclops, and Wolverine have acknowledged multiple times), and didn't grow up under Xavier's teachings. But in this series, they seem to be treated exactly like how the New Mutants were and it just does not match up. And the pushback against the Uncanny writers shows that the X-fans are well aware.

They've been trapped in the AoA for months. They'll never be the same and hopefully it sticks.

Well, technically we all have this power.
