Sabretooth continues to be pretty fun, but X-Men Red really clicked this week as well. Think that's the best issue of that run so far!
So glad to see X-men is the one comic thread around here that still gets regular comments
Fox might've screwed the pooch on the movies, but X is still King of Comics!
Oof yes, don't remind me! I do have fond memories of 2017's Astonishing X-Men, but the fact that this era had a book that was commenting on how the series had been dwindled down to nostalgia and complacency just about says it all. Next week is looking very promising though!Not for a while there. The push for the Nuhumans, and then the Blue/Gold era were not exactly the lines best hours.
Wait, I didn't know Knights of X was only 5 issues. That might be why the storytelling was a lot tighter than Excalibur though.
I'm getting pretty tired of all the crossover stuff. I don't mind the individual stories, but we're derailing the ongoing books every few issues.Oh good, another crossover later this year. yay....
sigh

Legion of X kinda lost me somewhere along the way. I feel like it varies in quality quite a bit, though I do need to re-read it.Legion of X #4: Something hilarious about the whole issue being framed in the back drop of Kurt and Zsen's pillow talk. The god problem went in a different direction than I thought. I am very glad I read this before X-men Red, because it makes a bit scene a bit more... enjoyable.
I loved how Immortal X-men and X-Men Red expanded on Judgement Day as well. Makes me a bit more excited for the event going forward.Immortal X-men #5: Fun inner look at Exodus. Pretty much covers the initial psi attack by the Eternal Uni-mind, which goes to show why that was a bad idea. My main exposure to Exodus back in the day was Fatal Attractions and Bloodties from the 90s. So, it was kind of nice to get a better look at his character. Especially liked how he nearly killed himself before Mesiah Complex. And I am finding the relationship between him and Hope to be surprisingly good. "I have a sweary messiah".
X-men Red #5: Damn. Just, god damn Ewing. Makes me feel a bit better about the destruction we saw in Judgement Day. Still, brutal. I knew Gillen didn't kill off Magneto, but, god damn Ewing. God damn.
I want the concept of a mutant nation to stick.
EDIT: Goddamnit Aaron. Someone take the Phoenix away from him. The Summers tree is complicated enough.
I do not, this is a big part of why this status quo isn't doing it for me. I always preferred the more relatable stories, not the space stuff, not Morrison's weirdness. And this is like taking the cosmic stuff and multiplying it by a factor of Morrison lol
Uh oh, what'd he do now? Giving it to Echo in the first place was some BS. Do I wanna know?
Just want to ask which titles you think will come to an end and or "resurrect" as a new title?
I didn't realize Vita Ayala was leaving New Mutants. That really sucks. Loved that run. Glad it isn't fully canceled or rebooted though. Guess we'll find out how Charlie Jane Anders compares.
Legion of X has admittedly kinda lost me.
