Agree.Resurrection: I think it's surprising how many writers who are "fans" of the Phoenix seem to look at it like it's heroin. That instantly turns me off them. I'm tired of the Phoenix being written as if it's an evil being. It isn't. He claims he wanted the story to be about Jean, but even that didn't happen as Jean's bond with people like Storm were ignored so we could get more Wolverine being the hero. An epic space battle also could've happened but this time Shiaar and Avengers could've backed Jean. At the end of that story, the Phoenix and Jean lovingly part ways. No more Phoenix stories for a decade after that. It could've been D'Ken somehow returned to bring the story full circle as well.
XMENRED: Oh gosh! I had no idea he almost had RED. And he doesn't think Jean was ready to lead due to her depression? She was a GOD! Spare me giving her a pity party. Ugh that would've sucked but I guess Cyclops got that story in Uncanny. To think the best X comic we had prior to this year was turned down by Rosenberg is pretty fitting.
His New Mutants and Multiple Man books sucked!
Uncanny: But this is where he really showed his colors. It wasn't even that he was killing off characters, it was that he tarnished their reputations and had them basically acting like committing suicide was the way to go! I still remember Havok happily killing himself to stop a few bad guys? At least that was better than Shinobi killing himself cause reasons? Also I had been enjoying Chamber prior to the run and in that run he has Chamber choose to commit mass murder? ugh! He also proved he can't write any character that isn't a basic white bro. His female characters sucked! His gay characters sucked. His characters of color sucked. Hell even his bro characters like Havoc sucked. He wrote Emma horribly. He'sone of those writers who writes her ridiculously because he knows her fanbase will have no choice but forgive her. Sunspot died pathetically and off screen too. And then there's the Rahne thing...
He just killed people for shock value knowing that the characters will be resurrected later. A very forgettable run, let's forget all about it.
