Age of X-Man: Marvelous X-Men #4 (spoilers/discussion)

[Anduinel]

So many questions come up with this issue:

- What are these psychic rifts, and how do they relate to the nature of this world Nate's put together?
- Nate's team is coming apart at the seams. Is everyone going to turn on him next issue? Is this how Apocalypse gets his victory?
- Who was murdered? My money's on Moneta getting pulped by Colossus. Or maybe shanked by her own teammates as a frame job - lord knows the kid's had it coming.
- Do the most recent crop of X-Men writers actually like Colossus at all, or are they just trolling the readership on behalf of JDW? Because really.

All told, I didn't mind this issue, but Apocalypse's presence in this book always leads to the team swerving away from what we darn well know is going to be the big throw-down, and it really does get tiresome.

All the sexy tentacle stuff at the start made me think Claremont.

Yeah, the start of this issue was VERY weird.

I don't know, but is it just me or did this feel like they were about to have an Orgy in public?

I hope x-23 keeps bishops guns. She needs a way to fight at mid to long ranges

>Apocalypse and his seX cult start an orgy in London. Things you never knew you wanted to see in the X-books.
>'The Healing Power of Loneliness' by Jean Grey. Wow.
>An entire event and several books all dealing with celibacy? Maybe these should have been one shots.
>The Life Seed is losing power... and it's literally hidden in Nate's basement.

Back in the day when Yost and Kyle were writing her X was always packing heat. Even bombs.

Yes, it was very close to a public orgy and then jean stopped it. damn Jean

I should be amazed Marvel haven’t used the Deadpool Movies to push Colossus.

I’m not.

Ridiculously underused.

Colossus still needs ONE good story that doesn't involve Kitty and/or Illyana. The writers always write him psycho around the two.

He had it before, when he was forced to kill Prometheus/Mutant X. Here you had the purest of the X-Men put into an impossible situation, where he had to choose between violating his own moral code or allowing more people to suffer/die, and he sacrificed his morals for the greater good. That moment right there made me a lifelong fan of the character, I don't know, it made the struggle of being a hero with incredible power who will not always find the nonlethal solution real to me (Claremont explored that again when he was once again forced to kill one of the Maraurders). Sadly writers after that just won't explore the character beyond his relationships with Kitty and/or Illyana. That's why I enjoyed him in Deadpool, even though he was the butt of Wade's jokes a lot. Neither of them were in the movies

[Maestroneto]

Cable and X-Force used him well.

"I'm ashamed. At Xavier Day... I used my powers to manipulate everyone." lol. That line has to be intentional.

This series is good. But it's also based on character moments of characters that aren't themselves at the time so it feels a bit odd.
