[spirit2011]

The least popular book in this relaunch sold better than some flagships in the previous era.

because the writer had stuff to do and was immediatly replaced by a similar tonal book, DOX is also a titan on comixoligy, top 10 every week

The X-Books are BOSS in the Marvel digital world. Screenshot taken five minutes ago:



5. New Mutants #8
6. Star Wars #3
7. Avengers #31
8. Amazing Spider-Man #40
9. Wolverine #1
10. 2020 Force Works #1

Even Marauders #8 is 14th, still in the top 20. (DOX books also have the 16th and 17th spots)

X-Men itself even deserves to be top, after a slightly shaky start.

Also, stop arguing with the ignore list people. They never learn.

If the Crucible doesn't count as suicide, does it at least count as self-harm?

It counts as like... a ritualistic battle with the intention of dying and be reborn... that you chose to do, i have no idea how to qualify it.
the closest thing is a surgery: willingly submiting yourself to severe trauma with the intention of healing and recovery.
it's such a non human concept I cant really say what it is lol.

I really like the surgery comparison.

Don't some coming of age rituals around the world involve fighting too?

[LordUltimus]

Usually, you get sedated for surgery.

Frobisher is wise.

The crucible is nothing more than ritualized assisted suicide dressed up in ceremony to disguise the fact Apocalypse gets to indulge his favorite past-time, killing people.

It's all OK though, because everyone gets resurrected.

It just makes sense that death would be beneath them now that mutants lives are one non-ending permanent vacation on a tropical paradise with endless delicious food, fantastic housing and beautiful weather year around.

The one downer is that they have nothing worth buying anywhere now that they all are super-wealthy. The only drawback I guess, of living a life billionaires would envy.

If Krakoa ever falls, I imagine it will be at the hands of Thanos for insulting his eternal love, death.

I just skimmed through the issue yesterday and I was horrified by the unnecessary brutality that Melody Guthrie went through. I'd embraced the technological marvels of Krakoa and was not assured that they seem to be adopting a Lord of the Flies approach among their own. For a group supposed to be the next step in evolution... THIS was what they came up with? This ritual was unsophisticated, violent, and entirely unnecessary. Moreover, it had a Roman gladiatorial vibe to it and I didn't like it. In my eye, the entire mutant sovereignty just took a step backwards in terms of evolution.

The public entertainment of watching a pretty young girl being slain in the arena was chilling, clearly meant to be so.
The sight of Vulcan whispering in Charles’ ear was right out of the Roman gladiatorial games.

This is all completely deliberate.
