Upcoming X-books art teases

[CGAR]

Its weird that a fan or fans would think that Emma is doing anything negatively to Tony Stark the "fan favorite male hero".

Him being assoicated at all with the X-Men is what has me reading his solo series after all these years.

If youre only an MCU fan then I don't think you REALLY get how being associated with the X-Men can be very beneficial.

Its not about making him an accessory or having him be a simp. He literally hasnt been written like that at all.

Is that supposed to be Pepper?

Marvel: Why is no one buying our comics anymore?

Also Marvel: Hey, let's emasculate and degrade another fan favorite male hero (this time the one who was the driver behind the entire MCU) and turn him into an accessory to raise the profile of a lesser known #GirlBoss. That's what comic book readers want, right?

Trying to decide if this screed is funnier to me than the people who keep shouting “Cuck-clops” all Krakoa.

I advocate for a Franken-name. Frost + Stark = Frork or Staost


Hmm, Staost, is almost Toast…
We can the them the Toasts! The bread couple, because Emma has a lot of “bread” and Tony had a lot of “bread”. Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Toast

I just came in here to giggle at this.

What will you come up with if Quicksilver and Monet become an item?

Emasculate and degrade…okay there buddy.

Its a variant cover, like Tony has been written very well in his solo and is not getting degraded whatsoever.

To be fair, while Marvel defss has pulled some annoying shenanigans lately, I don't think most people will get upset about a small quote on an alternate cover of the lead character's book, a book (I'm assuming) treats the lead well. I really doubt there will be many dedicated readers who will see that, feel their fave is being disrespected, and then not buy said fave's book.

Though wouldn't Iron Man be the one benefiting from this? Yeah, Iron Man is a bigger name because of the MCU. But X-Men books tend to be big sellers, and he's getting roped into Fall of X presumably to help benefit from its publicity. This doesn't seem to be about pushing Emma either, since she's already doing pretty well as a leading character in one of Marvel's biggest franchises, and has had a pretty big profile for years now.

After how Peter Parker and Frank Castle have been treated by their own writers in their own books, I do not agree that is a safe assumption.

And I don't think Emma is really that big of a draw. That's the problem with ensemble books like X-Men. You really can't point to any one character as being the draw. (Wolverine is in everything, whether it sells or doesn't. And then there is like cognitive dissonance that the books that were sold are because he is in it, and the books that didn't sell are despite him being in it.)

Marvel is unserious for that “for the first time in ages” bit. The X-Men definitely had their backs against the wall right up until HOX/POX.

It depends on how you interpret bc I read it as the first time since the Krakoa era started. Its been 4 years since HoX so I think that could count as first time in ages anyway

Marriage means so little at Marvel any more.

It's a win-win to have Iron Man's book part of Fall of X considering it's written by the guy also writing X-Men and Uncanny Avengers. We're spreading the love out here.

[jwatson]

oohhh you just can't tell me there isn't a defenders book or an exiles book that couldn't write itself right now. *__* Or even a dark avengers like flipped on it's head. still dark but imagine they are working in service of displaced mutants. they may be doing the "right" thing this time but most likely would be seen as dark.
(sorry for the random posts i'm clustering and stuff so mind racing in between taking breaks/ gardening/ and figuring out what i ate that has my stomach doing flips)

Yeah that's why I put "assume" lol. Believe you me, I've seen how they're butchering our boy Pete right now.

Emma is pretty popular, though. She's one of the most recognizable X-Men at the moment, is all but guaranteed to have a prominent role (or at least decent focus) in the franchise. I don't think this is meant to raise her profile, because most comic book fans - even Iron Man fans - would already be familiar with her. Plus the X-Men books sell, and IIRC many of the books also outsell Iron Man. So connecting Tony to the X-Men franchise would be beneficial for him.
