Think the new X-Office to their credit are doing a fine job with fill-in artists.
Feel like there's been effort made to maintain some consistency as with Stegman and Diaz on Adjectiveless.
Plus assigning specific arcs to someone of Javier Garron's caliber for example who's up next on Uncanny is great.
Let's see how long it lasts of course.
I was reading the Dawn of X Vol. 1 tpb on hoopla and as I was looking at the cover gallery, I saw the "Every Mutant Ever" connecting covers and unless I am very much mistaken, Darkhawk is on the cover for either New Mutants 1 or Fallen Angels 1 (it's hard to tell, he's right on the divide between the two) right between Jay Guthrie and Scalphunter.
Now, granted, I haven't picked up an issue of Darkhawk since the 90's, but I was under the impression that his powers came from the amulet he found. When did he become a mutant?
Hey X-Friends
So I have been reading the X-Men again for about 2 years and I’ve just about covered the consensus best material. Everyone’s Top 3-5 looks about the same. Claremont (which has been my favorite so far), Grant Morrison’s New X-Men, Hickman era-Krakoa, and Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men.
So I have read all of Claremont, New and Astonishing, and all of Krakoa, not just the Hickman stuff.
The consensus on the worst run seems to be Chuck Austen, so I know to avoid that until I get morbidly curious. And Stan Lee’s run being very very different, the idea hadn’t formed into what we consider the X-Men generally.
So I’m just asking… what do yall recommend besides the consensus best stuff. Are there any runs you particularly like that aren’t loved? What’s the best of the “mid” level stuff?
Also I’m open to X-books that aren’t mainline books as well. The other teams, solo books, etc etc. I’ve read most of Claremont’s Wolverine stuff and will dive into his New Mutants run eventually.
Anyway, just wondering where else I can get some good X-Stories and hoping the more well-read and knowledgeable fan base will point me in the right direction. Also just hoping it sparks some discussion about under appreciated runs, or stuff that isn’t perfect but has a lot of good to go along with the mistakes.
Bonus points if it’s a specific story or run that’s collected in an Epic or Omni format cause I prefer physical media, but I can always renew my Marvel Unlimited account if it comes to it.
Thanks!
Yea I get that this was written way before the election but this unrealistic rosy ending just was not all that helpful.
Psylocke #1 Letting her be seperated with Betsy was one of the best things that happen pre krakoa launch. She always gets a baddass art and storyline. 💜
I just finished the krakoa era, loved it. But, towards the end of the fall of x era, the summary before a lot of Moria centric stories start to say “when she was betrayed by mutants she turned on them”
I thought, in inferno, it was revealed it was always her plan to sterilise the mutant population slowly so there would be no mutant human AI war, and in effect, have a peaceful end rather than a violent one.
Letting her be free of her constantly being reincarnated and get to live a peaceful final life
Please correct my lack of understanding
I usually don't work on paper this big
In the scene where Eric is in the office attempting to display his mutant power at Shaw's request but fails.
Why does Shaw Immediately resort to warning and then killing Eric's mother.
He is a doctor so of course he has intelligence and knows of the scientific process.
He could have resorted to the torture of Eric's mother and possibly achieved the same results.
The mother would be mentally and physically harmed but she would still be alive.
