X-men '97 reignited a love for x-men that I lost somewhere in the 2010s with avengers vs X-men, and marvel running X-men into the ground, I recently read HoX/PoX and have been doing the full claremont run and krakoa in order, this is gonna be my long running x-thread #x-men #comicsky #comics #krakoa

god ultimates #17 is just one of the best comic issues I've read all year, it got me BAD, felt horrible then hopeful reading it 10/10 #comics #comicsky #marvel
Every time a Doom focused ultimates issue comes up god its delicious, a meal every time Deniz Camp is too good! I love what he's done with this character so much #comics #comicsky #marvel

such a gorgeous book, the cast really grew on me over time! it surprised me a lot in that I knew it was about tabletop games, and I play tabletop games with some friends most weeks, but its also got so much going on in so many other aspects, I'll definitely be reading Die: Loaded in a month or so!
Finished Die by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans, started it like "its 20 issues I'll finish this quick" then its so thematically dense I gotta rest after 2-3 issues, I really enjoyed it, it was a really slow burn for me, was worried it wasn't going to stick a landing near the end but it really did!

I survived Cameron/Osbourne when I was bed ridden and agoraphobic, every 3 years waiting for my next PIP assessment thinking this will be the one I will wrongfully denied it, you cannot threaten me with Reform, the gun to my head will not work, you are just as bad, I will outlive you all.
when they inevitably enable reform into government they will go back to opposing shit like this and talking out of both sides of their mouth to win back their base that they have so thoroughly alienated, I was never fooled at who they are and I never will be, fuck labour, come try beg for my vote.
no matter how much you cut it will never be enough for the right wing, this is the thin end of the wedge for eugenicist discrimination that the centre left also love, they love this performative bullshit to signal how strong and sensible they are, I cannot wait for the "centre" to fucking collapse
This is the kind of performative cruelty that only we disabled people will remember come a general election, the savings will be minimal and may end up actually costing more as you make disabled people who use motability to work's jobs more precarious, its a manufactured right wing issue
Scrapping Motability is going to reduce both the number of Disabled People in work and reduce the number of cars sold.

The result is this policy will almost certainly COST more than it will save.
but the current starmer/mcsweeney labour have a reverse midas touch that should be studied, they cannot get anything right, it looks like they actively are trying to be on the wrong side of every issue.
My view is Starmer is basically running a Cameron/Osbourne style government and it will not cut it, people do not want more decline, they're going too slow and radical change and improving living standards is the only way to stop Reform, I fear they've accepted their 1 term and Reform is inevitable
we didn't get Corbyn as pm because we have a profoundly unrepresentative system and a media united against any sort of leftward policy regardless of its factual basis, Starmer will herald in farage unless replaced because like centrism he represents nobody but the media and people who are content
a centrist will see labour and starmer polling at -1000 and go "ah but they're so sensible! and the only realistic option" they STILL haven't realised nobody wants centrist neo-liberalism and that is across the political spectrum, they aren't getting boring politics back, its socialism or barbarism
I haven't played duel links in years but I LOVE a duel links banlist, we're limiting 14 of the worst cards you've ever seen to stop a stupid ftk, I love seeing what awful cards duel links players can get hit and banned!
I'm going to miss them so much, Jed should invite Devon and Greycrow for a Glob vegan dinner at the factory after we return safely from Age of Revelation
yeah I loved that series, loved her interactions with Greycrow and Devon, women's solos were great in this most recent era and that is another way this mini is frustrating!
I feel like its a profound waste of time, why as a writer would you rob yourself at the ability to expand the character or mythos of either character, I like the current Emma series, wolverine has a plethora of great flashbacks, this will never reach either of those its doomed from the start!
Yeah exactly, it literally serves nobody well, and at that point why bother!
There is zero meaningful reason for this to return to bodyswap era, plot wise you can make a reason for them to fight rightnow, visual style wise you can throw some 90s style onto it, flashback stories and x-men have a decent history, however this will not redefine psylocke it is just nostalgic slop
you could literally just manufacture a reason for Kwanon and Elektra to fight right now! that's how writing works! if you wanted a dumb ninja fight book that doesn't dig up awful shit we JUST buried.
gonna drop a bold take here, I like pre-ninja Betsy, I like Kwanon, we should let two women exist simultaneously and flesh them both out instead of returning to 90s slop and ending a really good Kwanon solo, and Betsy on x-force for a mini where two ninjas fight WHICH YOU COULD DO WITH KWANON ANYWAY
