That episode was a rough one, yes, and that's coming from someone who loves a broody Scott Summers moment. One positive thing, I was really excited to see Skids as I didn't know she ever made an appearance in the animated series. And then they portray her powers in quite a cool way when the kids fig...

Stacy-X. Wind Dancer always seemed a bit generic to me and we have more than enough X-Kids.

Speaking of... Which Academy X era kid do you think has the least potential to ever take off as a X-Men?

Yeah, I really enjoyed this as well. It's playing on so many things from Marvel history and the fact that Al is crafting a narrative that's coherent and straightforward is pretty astounding. Super excited for Empyre.

So yes, it's a bit of a retread of Civil War but I like that the teen heroes getting their own thing to propel their stories. Art and dialogue was on point. The idea of Kamala being the face of the law is very comicbooky and I love it. Biggest gripe was there was a whole lot of characters in this th...

Didn't see a topic on this one yet... It's grim but Ben Percy is knocking it out the park in terms of dialogue and prose. The Pale Girl is intriguing and I loved the scene between Scott and Logan in the Hatchery. Zombie Kate took me by surprise at first but it looks like the general consensus is tha...

X of Swords* pronounced ten of swords. https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/the-next-great-x-men-crossover-arrives-this-summer In addition to the ones listed above, we also saw Apocalypse’s sword in Powers of X. Also that’s not Archangel, it’s one of the kids from the upcoming Children of the Atom.

A great issue, don't get me wrong but I think I would've enjoyed this more if it focused more on Melody and her mindset instead of Cyclops and Nightcrawler's reactions to what she was going through. I feel like this is a bad habit of Hickman's and it's why so much of his stuff comes off feeling cold...

So so good. For all the praise Hickman gets, Percy is right up there with him in my eyes.

Rereading it again right now. Did Kitty absorb the whiskey by phasing it into her. That’s cool.

With the Dodson art and the hero vs hero fight, this felt very old school and I kind of loved it. It was comforting in a way, felt very 2010.

While I won't say I love this classic costume, I also have nothing nice to say about that Anka redesign from a few years ago where she looked like an Express manager.

I think an updated riff on this would be ideal but for cover purposes, it is exciting to see her in this getup again.

Empath and Maddie ran the Hellfire Cult together in the early San Francisco days.

She mentioned she needed the bracelet but as has been said before in other threads and in the last series she was in, her control was also affected by her emotional state and at the beginning of this and as we saw here her emotional state was in flux in part to the outside pressures she felt from c...

Sweet! X-23 has had so many great stories over the years and some of the best development. Awesome work!

Just goes to show us that we gotta at least give the writers the chance to finish an arc before judging them about ignoring a piece of continuity../ She still mentioned in issue 1 that she needed the bracelet so continuity was still technically ignored. Loving the series'. bit confused at the end t...

Not talking about the cover for the Fantastic Four tie-in issue, talking about the teaser that started the thread.

Not saying Wolverine won’t be in it but those teasers were playing up moments in Marvel history that have led to Empyre.

Take a look at the pages, Baldeon's art looks great.

Probably the best DoX issue yet. Might end up being seen as a classic in years to come. Great stuff all around and filled with memorable dialogue throughout.

Those panels of Xavier lifting his helmet were perfection.
