    Pete's powers don't really lend well to being depowered, but losing an arm will slow him down.
    Hmmm yah seems likely.
    I was thinking of it being a reflection of Pete's emotional/mental well being and how it's a glaring flaw in the AoX

    That's potentially part of his crimes maybe? What if he was looking into everything that was "wrong" his whole time?

    Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, in fact I thought it was great



    Poor Colossus being thrown under the bus just cos be hurt Jordan D Whites waifu decades ago! get over it Jordan

    Colossus was/is the best thing Kitty has had going for her in years, well apart from Star-lord but that was ridiculously un-believable even by x-book standards

    I like that idea too! Especially since in 616, he likely would have been given some sort of super arm by now. It's a visual reminder that for all this world's greatest, it's lacking a lot by its very design.

    Bishop is a naturally paranoid man. Nate should haveput him with Department X instead of trying to make him fit into the X-Men.

    The twisting of Magneto's soul. The way it all really began when Claremont wrote his masterpiece. It was used well here..and apparently his confrontation with Storm goes to another level next issue.

    Lol@Colossus obsessing over Kitty again

    I think, um, maybe this series is in its over it's head. If it has its own exclusive shoulders...which I doubt. Head in cloud. Um..

    Trying to be too many tones at once with a complex plot that demands entirely too much from this grab bag approach.
    Ideally, each page and panel should be vital.

    To work this series necessitates a much more economical and resolved voice. It suffers from trying to hard to be cool. In my heart I guess I wish this cast would shut up and show up. What I mean is the dialogue is horrible and distracting, the action scenes are stiff and everything of substance here could be said in four lines.

    In the long run, this (maybe kinda significant) AU probably isn't well-suited for a print edition reader like me.
    I believe that every single issue of every single title has to read in sequence as they come out to get all that's really great about Age of X-Man.
    It's surely a collaborative improvisational sensation. The best of its kind so far in X-Books, perhaps. But sadly...I guess I gotta adapt.

    Oddly, the reality that Age of X-Man is so very decidedly formatted to digital format kinda reinforces the dirt under the manicure feel of its content. Is that difficult to appreciate? Turn off your phone for a second...look at a cloud...where's your mind? Or is it just me? And if it is? Is it just you too...I mean...oh, I don't know.

    There was a time we shared that space...and this one was within our space we shared...that space is not in here...though it may feel nice to hold like it is...lol, oh okay, I'm...sorry. And yet!

    As a #2 print edition of a 5 copy comic book mini series...this isn't one of those.

    Marvel should skip the mini trade releases and just put out a collected omnibus. That'd be readable in a physical book way.

    Black? He's pale blue and likely a Berber given his origin. I admire the positive sentiment though.

    Not a fan of the art in this issue and much moreso the Extracts issue, but the story with Apocalypse and co. is going somewhere interesting. Hippy Apocalypse is something one wouldn't think they'd ever see.

    While I don't really agree about Apocalypse in that respect (manipulator sure, but when he's written well he's written as one with logic and values much like when Doom and Magneto are written well and one could say that of Thanos as well), that reminds me of a great exchange in the 1995 movie The Prophecy:


    Catherine: "Go to hell!"

    Gabriel: "Heaven, darling. Heaven. At least get the zip code right."

    Catherine: "It's all the same to you, isn't it?"

    Gabriel: "No. In heaven, we believe in love."

    Catherine: "What do you love, Gabriel?"

    Gabriel: "Cracking your skull."

    Though I mean I had always thought En Sabah Nur in the past had been portrayed as Middle-Eastern. Either way, he ain't white.
