Uncanny X-Men Annual #1 (spoilers)

[Tazpocalapse]

This was put together very well. I'm on my second read of it. i like rereading Bunn issues because he seeds his books pretty good.

Read this last night. I dug it.

Fake-out death to screw with Ultimate Reed. Roberto's fine.

Ahh thanks! 😸

We'll probably find out in the Archangel-centric issue. I'm super interested as to why he's going back to field duty.

Does he have one coming up? I haven't seen anything on it is why I am asking.....

Bunn mentions in the X-Position that there is an Archangel/Xorn-focused issue coming up. I'd be willing to bet that Elixir and/or Exodus might even pop up, too.

Almost makes it sound like Bunn is setting the stage for Resurrection for the characters more than anything else...

He seems to be fixing the rather broken characters on his team. Archangel and Mystique are whole [which is always iffy for Raven]. He broke Elixir to fix him again. Xorn is actually enjoyable. That theme will most likely continue with Mplate before ResurreXion hits. The seeds for Xorn healing Magneto were already sown, too. Sadly, I see Sabretooth reverting to his old evil sadistic self; there's no saving him. As for Fantomex, I hope Bunn kills him as permanently as possible for X-comics i.e. keep him away from the books for a few years.

Finally read this. Loved every part of it.

The Domino Sunspot story was a fun little tale loved that Domino did her thing and there wasnt a whole lets knock them all out. She killed them all, which is what she would do. Loved the BVS reference part. And the ending was great.

The Bunn tale. That was excellent. And the set up for IVX, because it so is was well played. Also i loved when he told creed hed be worse if he was cured. I really hope Bunn gets to play more with Creed and M.

Just finished reading this. I really love what Bunn has done with Elixir. The life/death balancing act not only keeps him from becoming overpowered, it gives him a defensive ability. I may have to start reading UXM, now.

The Domino story was fun, too. Nice to see 'Berto in an x-book again.

The yin yang is new but wasn't Elixir able to turn dark and hurt people before? Didn't he kill Wither like that during Necrosha then go off on yet another soul-searching episode? To me only the scope and balancing act are new to him.

Why do people hate Fantomex? I've always gotten a kick out of him lol

Very cool, I really enjoy Bunns writing. It's smart, coherent and it seems like he gets the characters really well.

I think the hate generally comes from when the writers don't seem to get the joke.

Yes. He's had the dark side to his powers since New X-Men. But it's never mentally affected him before.

Of course he hadn't died two or three times before, either.
