SDCC: The X-Men & Inhumans Prepare For "Death Of X"

[JasonEsta]

Not that meh...Hellfire Club written by the best writer in Marvel. I might see Shaw, Maddie, and Selene in one issue. Im intrigued by that fan favorite character in Civil War #3.

[Knives]

Nothing really new.

Magneto vs BB would be interesting but considering the power of the two would be a dangerous thing for others caught in the crossfire a city would be wiped out with these guys.

The original X-mens not have deadline to return to your own time tsk .

Unfortunately it looks like we will get stuck to the Inhumans for some time then it is better to accept this trial.

we've known that for months though. So they're just reminding us of what's already been said.

I'm not so sure Magneto is a survivor and veteran of many battles.

frankly, i prefer just sticking with the line-ups we've got now and slowly (but surely, not naming names) progressing them. I don't need big blockbuster announcements, I'd much rather have longer stories w/bigger pay-offs than the seasonal model and the incessant need for renumbering.

No big status quo shifts needed yet, we've barely settled into the death gas set-up so now isn't the time for really big shake-ups.

Looking back on what I've wrote, I wonder if it isn't influenced by an ingrained feeling that the types of series i would want are next-to-impossible and, therefore, have lowered my expectations to a stage where I just cannot imagine being excited for an announcement. People try to talk down The Complex, but the pessimism and lack of faith in X-Titles is an undeniably deep-rooted problem.

[berserkerclaw]

Yep. What i expected. A waste of time. Funny how alonso says therea some cool announcements coming, but doesnt actually announ e anything. So what was the point of the panel.

[donpricetag]

HAH! Gambit question... but otherwise not much of anything we didnt know, and seeing as we know next to nothing... so much cloak and dagger smoke and mirror.

Spoiler: There is no such Jabberwocky Project.

Alonso continued, pointing out the criticism and hate that some creators and storylines get online.

Hate is never justified, but as for criticism? I'd say Marvel's been incredibly deserving of it as of late.

I'm actually seeing some of that die down as people just become apathetic and stop caring at all instead... but I doubt that's what Axel wants either.

"If you adapt the mentality that you're going to wait for trade, what you're doing is contributing to the cancellation of the series. Comics count on people being there once a month to pick them up," said Alonso. "It's important to support that small book. If we were to launch an 'Iceman' solo, support that book. Don't go, 'That first issue was great, I'll wait for the trade.'"

Yeeeeah. Look, more and more, Marvel's charging $5 for first issues. Depending on where you get your books, that's roughly 1/4 to 1/2 of the TPB price. (For example, my pre-order savings from Amazon meant I got the first volume of The Ultimates for $11.) Sorry, but it's not on the consumer to support a company's business model, it's up to the company to make it worth their while to do so. And between price point vs page count, bait-and-switch creative teams, the new seasonal business model that says I might as well wait for the trade no matter what, and not a lot of characters I'm terribly passionate about anymore, Marvel isn't doing that for me right now.

[MYCMTSC]

lol so the climactic build-up and wait that is allegedly toying with our expectations was a reveal that...all of the X-Books are continuing their current storylines!

Astonishing!

[protege]

So- i'd like to know who's going to be in the new hellfire club; all new xmen vs the inhumans sounds inteteresting, but i think i'll pass on the "rear window" story.

Edit: nevermind, thought this was on the main board.

[Project Initiative Cascada]

The only thing that interests me is the fact that we will know where Emma has been all this time. I hope to god she isn't dead but then again I remember one of the editors said a few months that she is planning something. So I am interested to see where that goes.

And heck yes to Asmus returning to write some X-Books! Now that's an underrated and great writer!
