UXM is great under Rosenberg, much better than any other X-book coming out right now, he might be the only current writer working in the offices that read the original Generation X series

[PsychoEFrost]

My expectations for what Rosenberg is going to do are in the toilet, in the sub-basement, of a military bunker set next to the Earth's core. She could be a friend, she could be eating a live puppy. Nothing would shock me.

Why can't Kelly Thompson take over Uncanny X-Men? Didn't she write the relaunch with other writers before Rosenberg took over? I don't think they've ever let a woman solely write Uncanny X-Men. It's about time!!

[ButterRum]

The Avengers weren't popular at the time. And Emma was the "it" character during Morrison's (and arguably Whedon's) run. Morrison was actually suppose to write her solo. Ugh, we can dream.

Emma was the it character from 2004-2012 pretty much. She has like the most appearances for Marvel female characters for one of those years, but she was consistently at the top. I can ask my friend who made that site with the appearance rankings about the data.

because she's not good

Read Jessica Jones. It's A+ material. But you also don't need to be A+ to write Uncanny X-Men LOL.

No, not going to read a Bendis OC by somebody I know is a bad writer from her other books

That's too bad. Thompson's Emma is the first one to sound and feel like Emma since Morrison/Whedon.

So it's better than X-men Black's portrayal?

Most X-Men had been portrayed better outside the X-Office in this last few years, Emma is the most recent example. Last year the best Wolverine story came from a Venom Special and a Venom Annual, to quote another example.

Sabretooth has been an example twice now. He was better in Brisson's Iron Fist & the Soska Sisters' Black Widow than he's been in any X-book since Bunn lost him.

Unless I am told otherwise, I made a vow not to read anything Creed is in if it's coming from the X-Office. lol

That's slightly disappointing to hear. I should probably track those issues down then. Both Jessica Jones and Venom.

Yeah, I really liked Emma in Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter. She only got a few panels overall (it is Jessica's book after all) but I loved the dynamic between Jessica and Emma because they are both so acerbic and they seem to actually get each other in a way a lot of characters don't. Haha, Jessica also thinks Emma is super hot and admires her boobs.

Black was solid, but Williams using the stripper with a heart of gold backstory hurt. JJ's Emma was unabashedly Emma.
