C-F list characters never showing up again might be sad for you a fan of the character, but it’s just how ensembles work.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

The X-Men cheating on each other is good actually. It’s a soap opera.

Hey man, I got your report on my desk that you think Wolverine is overrated and that’s cool and all but I feel like you didn’t read the quoted post at all. “Wolverine is overrated” is the popular opinion. Let’s circle back on this later. Ok. Love you. Bye.

💯 in agreement. I generally think Seeley is a good writer but I wish he’d turned this one down/not been offered it.

I mean I thought Captain Britain was cool as the powerhouse of Forge’s X-Force by Thorne/To but I know I’m in the minority on that one. But I mostly get where you’re coming from.

That said, you’re not wrong if your feeling was “that’s racist” I just don’t necessarily think that this time period is inherently off limits especially when it’s a period many fans skipped. I do question the entire enterprise and value of telling a story with a white woman inside Kwannon’s body

Making problematic art is not inherently bad and honestly it’s cop brain that tells you it is. That’s said, I don’t know what reaction Psylocke Ninja was supposed to evoke if not blind fury. Seems ill-advised at best. #xspoilers

the problem with "what's your most unhinged X-Men take" is that no take is gonna be more unhinged than "sending death threats to a variant cover artist for depicting a different ship than your comfort married couple"

I’m very excited to do this for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which because Owen is the gold standard of Comics Commentary and History on YouTube but also because I get to talk about what I think is the best comic cover of at least a decade issue 22 by @alexrossart.bsky.social #comicsky

The cover of Fantastic Four 22 Reed is being bit by Vamps but they can’t break his skin.

Tomorrow, we’re sitting down with @owenlikescomics.bsky.social to discuss @ryannorth.ca ‘s first vol of Fantastic Four. At the end of issue 1 Ryan gives us his four guiding lights of the book (below). This narrative and artistic ethos is one reason why this book is a damn modern classic. #comicsky

Text that reads:

1. The Fantastic Four are fun.
These are people who know they can help people and are here to do exactly that. No angst, having super-powers rules!
2. The Fantastic Four are adventurers.
Exploring the unexplored is fun and gratifying. The unknown and the impossible are crazy interesting!
3. The Fantastic Four can do anything.
If we want to recapture the feeling of the FF as they were in the '60s where anything could happen, we have to let what's come before be there to inspire stories but not limit them.
4. The Fantastic Four are accessible.
This is a comic for people who've read every Fantastic Four appearance since 1961, but it's also one that welcomes people who have never read a single Fantastic Four comic betore or even a single Marvel comic. While we have deep-cut references to what's come before, you won't feel left out if you don't know it, because this is a comic for everyone.

Absolute Wonder Woman is excellent and one of the books we most look forward to each month. Allison was lucky to sit down with @kellythompson.bsky.social to discuss its first year of publication, the process of creating the pitch, and what we might expect going forward. It’s a fun one! #comicsky
