I've had the House of M omnibus on my shelf for several months now, and just now got around to starting it. I mostly enjoyed the actual 8 issues of House of M, but I'm really not into the other stories so far.

Is the rest of the collection just an elaborate, "What if?" that ultimately doesn't matter? Or are some of them really good stories and/or have bearing on the broader Marvel world outside of what already happened in House of M?

Also, more specifically, am I good to just go ahead and read the Messiah trilogy? I'm really looking forward to reading that one but, at the moment, I'm not liking the idea of slogging through the rest of this omnibus.

The X-Men Legends and Ultimate Alliance games are some of the best superhero games ever and several X-Men characters are in all of them. When you're playing them which X-Men characters do you choose if?

My go to characters are:

X-Men Legends: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Nightcrawler

X-Men Legends II Rise of Apocalypse: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler and Magneto

Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Wolverine, Storm, Iceman and Colossus

Marvel Ultimate Alliance (with the DLC): Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler and Iceman

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Wolverine, Jean Grey (Storm before she is unlocked), Deadpool (Iceman before he's unlocked) and Gambit

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (with he DLC): Jean Grey, Wolverine, Deadpool (Iceman before he's unlocked) and Cable.

Who are your picks?

Has there been a story that focused on the X-Men character Sean Cassidy and the troubles saga in Ireland/Northern Ireland?

I know there are more versions of Storm out there (e.g. anime), but these ladies did a phenomenal job in bringing Ororo Munroe to life.

hiiii. i am using google translator to write this post.

I've been meaning to read the X-men for a while now but I heard that they've gone evil now. What confuses me is that some people deny this and say they're not evil. I don't want to read a story from the villains' point of view, so I want to know if they are evil or not so I can decide whether to read it or not.

My friend and I were having the usual “Is Wolverine circumcised?” conversation and he bought up an interesting point. If mutants get their powers during puberty, would Wolverine had healed any injuries (such as circumcision) he got before the healing factor kicked in? Or would it be a case where his body heals itself to what it was when he got his powers? I’m 90% this topic would have been addressed in the comics so please let us know, if not what do you think?

LIKE WHAT U MEAN THATS IT?! WHERES THE CLOSURE BRO

It's already known that there was an editorial problem.

Hickman left. The work continued. The plans changed.

I'll list some small changes that I noticed.

- Someone saved Shaw and Sinister from the pit. I believe Shaw shouldn't have lasted so long, but I like Immortal #6. Sinister is Gillen's irises.

- Cypher* wouldn't be Sinister, but a Phalanx infiltrator. And probably the final villain of the Krakoa era.

- Xavier played Moira in Rise. I believe Gillen switched the roles. It would make much more sense to be her. I believe she would be much more interesting than the infiltrator Flama.

- The structure of SOS. Using the x1, x10, x1000 method would be repetitive, but I believe Rise should have been structured that way, mainly to pay homage to POX.

*Justice for Cypher. What they did to him now sucks. Mainly because the plot is stuck. Give back the innocent boy.

I grew up in the Hudson Valley in westchester (peekskill).. I always saw it written as just "salem" but I knew the area and I related to it. This might be the first time I've seen it written as the actual town North Salem. - although in my head the institute was always in sleepy hollow but north or south Salem makes sense too right near pound ridge and the nature reservation.

I know I'm spoiled growing up in NY I could go down to Manhattan as a teenager skateboard alone down to the comic shops in the LES and see my city represented ..but I would take that train back into westchester and reading xmen always brought me back to my childhood.

Have they always just called it Salem or simply Westchester ? And only recently the actual town of north Salem? I feel like I've read it mostly as westchester is a town [it's the whole county].

Do you guys have any comics that take place in your hometowns ?

Can anyone recommend x-men runs or graphic novels that have Emma Frost as part of the main roster/cast? The Wolverine and the X-Men TV show is what introduced me to the character years ago, She was one of my favorites so I am interested in reading more stuff with her in it

Because of that comic where he went to teach at the x mansion and they were hostile towards him what do you guys think
