New Mutants #5

I am an avid fan of X-Men: TAS, and a casual comic reader. However, something about the Phoenix Saga in TAS just does not interest me, maybe this is a hot take. I currently don’t have a lot of time on my hands, so I like to be diligent about how I spend it. So if I didn’t like the Phoenix Saga there, should I bother with the version in the comics? In the comics that the series was based upon that I have read, most differences I noticed seemed to be sanitizing details for children and the like. Are there big differences between the two that make it worth reading?

If i was charles i wouldve mindwipe her and problem solved

Resurrection Linked Degenerative Sickness.

Is Magneto the only one who's got it? Nightcrawler died and was resurrected dozens of times... But Max iirc only died once with Xavier against the Sentinels, and then the last time against Uranos.

Is this just a gimmick for the narrative? Will there be other cases of RLDS? Or was Magneto's resurrection somewhat different from the standard protocol?

The concept of RLDS is pretty interesting too! Mutants playing God and cheating death itself, then being bitten by their own hubris, that's good writing. But if Magneto is the only one, it just seems like an easy way to sideline a major character.

Lost what you think the worst/best Omega level power to have. Omega level powers just don’t have to have no upper limit.

Worst: Golden Ball Projection Best: Light Manipulation (all forms of light like the ones on the EM Spectrum).

For context, I'm reading my way up to the current comics and have just been reading what I've heard is essential and good but I really liked House of M and I'm wondering what decimation comics are good because I think I want to read a bit more of this era. I've heard Messiah Complex is good but is there anything good in between?

One of the biggest complaints I see about From the Ashes is that people are uninterested in the X-Men's return to form to being "on the run" and "constantly facing threats of genocide" as they find it depressing and desperate and they got used to seeing mutants finally have safety and stability in Krakoa.

And while Uncanny X-Men and Exceptional X-Men certainly do feel a lot like the few decades of X-Men prior to Krakoa, but Jed Mackay's very much feels like a version of X-Men that us actively moving forward and is not the vulnerable group of strays running from the powers that be that people seem to be presenting it as.

Yes, his team is operating out if a run down factory in rural Alaska, but it feels less like a move of desperation and more like a strategic move with forward momentum behind it. It feels a bit like Scott is choosing to start in a more defensive position rather than spread his armies too thin, and that the mutants attached to him actually have an exceptional amount of power behind their movement. It feels less like "pwese don't kill us" and more like "you will respect us or face the consequences"

I just don't agree with people that feel X-Men is back in the same place it was pre-krakoa, at least not all of it. Runs like X-Men, NYX, X-Factor, Mistique, etc. (whether they're good or not) really feel like they are pushing the mutant story into a new place that it hasn't really been before, or at the very least is a continuation of Krakoa's story about the relationships between mutants and mankind.

Personally I think it should be Jubilee. Her entire existence in the Fox movies can be compiled into a single video that's less than 3 minutes long, and I think that's a DAMN shame.

If they really want someone who can help reintroduce the X-Men and establish the world for newcomers, I think Jubilee is the perfect way to go. Introduce her at a mall, show the prejudices other people have, the whole nine yards.

Reading from the 60s and currently going through the 90s right now and honestly the amount of summers is getting kind of ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, love all of them and I seem to be in the minority of those who really likes Havok, but with Adam X and Nate introduced I just can’t bring myself to care about two more (though Adam’s powers are really cool tbh). I know Gabriel will come soon too so that’s another one.

Anyways, how important is the X-Man run to the overall Xmen story? Any major events in it I should read through, or would it be fine to skip it entirely. I’ve only got so much time and am already going through the two Xmen titles, X Force, and GenX so don’t really have time to add another title to my reading list unless absolutely necessary.

So I read this comic on marvel unlimited a few weeks ago that revisited some of the classic claremontian X-men stories (fall of the mutants was one-madelyne going eyes-crossed mad seeing jean and scott on tv) from a comedy point of view and the pages were in sepia color instead of white. I tried many sources now , I even asked AI but I can’t seem to find it (have i dreamt it?)

So I try my best to keep up with X-men comics usually I’ll buy them on Amazon and I’m loving X-factor, Exceptional and the rogue and Cyclops led books but I missed a lot of Krakoa due to lots of titles and wanna try my best to read the events is there an Omnibus or omnibi that cover all the main line? I’m pretty sure I can pick up marauders and etc afterwards and to note I did also read the end of Krakoa so I do know how it ends! Thanks in advance!

Idk it was just so obvious they were trying to say something. Hell especially since the first mutants were most of the people of colour on the team

Hello! I'm be straight foreward, I'm very new to X-men and i don't generally read comics. However, I got into it recently and am watching through the cartoons and movies and want to get into comics too! That's a post for later though.

I'm looking for a run/runs, arches, characters of the 90's!

I'm working on a novel, and it starts in 2003. Both characters are young, senior in high school and just out of high school in the beginning and fairly nerdy. The focus isn't on nerd culture or anything it's a gay love story but in giving them personalities I thought it would be fitting for them to be into X-men. Neither are out, and one hasn't even really connected the dots that he's gay yet but he feels like he's on the outside (also lives in pretty extreme poverty)

All this is just background I thought may matter to the type of comic rec or what may come up in coversation/who these may relate to. I am transmasc and gay so I have my own version of relating but I was curious about others.

What are some popular runs of the 90's (over very early 2000's)? New characters? Queer coded characters? Archs that would have been talked about?

Also, how common was it to be reading comics back then? Were you automatically a nerd if you liked superhero comics? Maybe made fun of? Takes place in rural Georgia if that matters. I was homeschooled so my experience was v different. Now, it's pretty standard to be into things considered nerdy, but I'm curious about the landscape.
(book takes place over like 15 years so it's not all high school but this is me trying to get a certain part right)

Sorry if this isn't very clear! Can answer questions if you need clarity!
