    Can't wait to hear how that is Scott and Emma's fault.

    I'm puzzled by Hickman's Xavier but I don't stop liking Xavier because I don't like what a reader makes of him: it just doesn't correspond to my idea of the character.

    It's funny how some subjects tend to come back again and again…

    I kinda dig what Hickman’s doing with Xavier. We have literally no clue what his motives are and he just stands around smiling like he’s 3 steps ahead..off-putting in the best way. and his headpiece has no right at all to be cool and yet here we are

    In this decentralized mutant society I feel like their would be a natural kinship between Storm and Selene. I just feel like Selene's influence would be a fascinating story arc for Ororo.

    Uuuugh, Selene. A great villain but so creepy. I feel like if they even let that parasite on the island she's in a van down by the river. She's also incredibly dangerous because she is so ancient and partial to taking a psychotic narcissist's version of the long view - even more than Apocalypse IMO, who Moira at least has a background with.

    I’m actually surprised Selene hasn’t been mentioned, like, at all in hoxpox. I mean she’s another (essentially) immortal mutant history power-player so what’s her take? What’s her role? answer me hickman

    I wouldn't be surprised if he got to her soon. If I was Moira/Xavier/Magneto I'd quarantine her unkillable ass. She's demented and immortal and unlike Apocalypse I don't think there's much chance of common cause.

    Tempus would make a great threat.

    Opinion:

    Half of the canon/continuity that the board's endless arguments are based on is going to be deemphasized by Hickman, specifically as a goal of the X-Office to try and stop the quibbling about inconsistencies in portrayals. It's going to be treated like the Star Wars Expanded Universe is by Disney nowadays.

    True. Either that or I guess they’re just hoping she doesn’t show up to the 5 star all you can eat buffet they’ve laid out for her

    Not having read Gold or Blue, I can only judge Red on its own merits, but I agree with your statement PsychoEFrost. The biggest travesty to me was the fact that the "mutant nation" angle went nowhere and that fantastic reveal of Cassandra at the end was ultimately a promise unfulfilled.

    Saying that Red is better than some of its contemporaries is fair and possibly even true (I'll take y'all's word for it), but without that qualifier it's an overrated book. I had high expectations based on the premise, as well as the hype around Tom Taylor for his work on All-New Wolverine and Injustice, but I was left disappointed.
    Does it need doing?
    Yes.
    Then it will be done.

    Taylor's writting is better suited for short stories meant to tug at your emotion, but when he tries to do a long term narrative, he falls apart, his story structure goes between acceptable and mediocre, especially because some of what he does doesn't feel narratively earned, plus he isn't suited to write teams. Is really not surprised to me than that War of the Realms was his best work.

    Still i did enjoy his Injustice, just for how crazy the whole thing was.
