Secret Wars 2015 & the X-Men Tie-Ins

[sungila]

I think I get why I sincerely totally forget 2015, NOW. I left X-Books by coincidence just prior to this for what appears to be mostly just this.

Having glanced back at it, I really hoped that with so much creative talent and this idea of an event composed of fractured events that the books would be interesting in a good way.

Seems like my idea of the thing...might be best as an idea of what it could've been...but isn't.

Thanks everybody.

It was ridiculous how 2 books just randomly used Phoenix Jean as a deus ex machina on the final issue without barely even having her around on all the other issues LOL.

Only read Inferno, E Is for Extinction and X-Men '92. Inferno was good although the "My OTP got everyone killed please pretty please give a crap about them!" premise was hilariously bad. E Is for Extinction was good until that WTF-LOL-they're-actually-serious ending. X-Men '92 was alright.

I do remember actually laughing out loud at those godawful Years of Future Past solicitations. Mother! Warrior! Raaaarr!

If we remove the Phoenix from the writers, they would not know how to solve half of their plots.

I think I've misplaced my 2015.

Did you read Secret Wars and any of the X-Men related the Tie-Ins?

I would like to borrow your suggestions.

It's a sprawling event and I'm not too concerned about reading it in entirety. Absolute continuity doesn't seem to necessarily apply to what might be best about the big huge thing. I need guides to the good stuff.

Do you have a preferred reading order or personal favorites from the minis?

I read Secret Wars: House of M.

I also bought and somewhat looked through single issues of M.O.D.O.K. Assassin, Inferno, Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde, and two issues of X-Men '92. They had Polaris cameos and I was stupid enough to think it was a sign Marvel planned to use her more going forward, rather than the reality of Marvel setting up for throwing her into limbo for 2 years. I learned my lesson from that mistake.

SW:HoM is the only one I suggest. Though with a big disclaimer that it treats Pietro poorly and has a couple bad spots for Magneto, and that Wanda could've had more of a role. It's one of few times Lorna got treated well though.

Seeing Billy and Tommy in the family was the best thing about SW HoM.

I forgot about that 616 Star-Lord and AoA Shadowcat team-up book.

muh yikes.
