I'm still not optimistic. I was when Hickman was announced for the X-Books because of his rep & how excited everyone was for him to be on the books, and Creed looked like a major HOX / POX player. But we saw what he did with Creed, which I knew would be bad from all the red-flags in the first chapter alone.
So despite the hype around LaValle, I'll need to hear about it to believe it far as Creed's character getting any of his dignity back.
Sabretooth is too much of a piece of garbage to deserve dignity.
Not sure it’s dignity so much as actually making him a threat that most people are looking for here. He’s become too much of a jobber and needs to go back to being a guy who actually scares people. At least IMO.
It requires a writing style or a consistency across the books that just does not exist anymore. As 'epic' as the mutants making Mars inhabitable was, lets not pretend most characters are not already written as demi gods whose only real fear seems to be of not being liked by someone.
I would love to proven wrong, and Sabretooth is the kind of character to do it with.
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
I will admit Tieri's Victor was actually pretty decent. He had a decent characterization since his Wolverine run
Also I don't it's a coincidence that he is getting his own mini during x deaths and lives of wolverine event. He might be involved in this. Plus it might also implies that some x-comics will continue alongside this event
