I want my "Cap is right" shirt.

Edit: You know what? Screw that. The speech is right, too. Cap is absolved, everyone! Let's party!
I look forward to the point that it backfires on Cap on how off the mark he was and I am a fan of Cap as well but Cyclops was right.

Edit: Damn top of the page, I am looking forward to getting Uncanny Avengers and AvX consequences in the next coming weeks.

I take it this is the rumored Kid Loki book Gillen is working on? It'll be good to a book that Land doesn't ruin with his horrible pencils.

I absolutely loathe the post house of M cyke. Its really weird because i liked him before that. He's like a neutered mags in my eyes. I actually really liked him being the moral anchor.

I can see that but I still like what they are doing with him and especially with how Marvel has handled Mutants in the last 5 years, I have kept enjoying him.

I disagree. Him being a stoic 'good guy' made me respect him. Whatever his failings were at least he stuck to his guns and was a respectable leader.
Here's a rehost:

And I loved Joe's take on the team when he was drawing. The baseball issue he did was one of my favorites.

Thanks for the rehoast. My google fu failed me.
 
I think Bendis has progressively gotten crappier, but it's easy to attack a guy on top of a mountain. I may not like all of his writing but I bet he takes his work seriously as a professional.

I honestly feel that Bendis isn't as bad as people like to paint him to be. It's just he is around. A lot. He has been writing Avengers for 11 years now (I think) and people are tired of him. Him moving on to other books (and not so much of them) is just what the doctor ordered

and I grew up in the 90's watching 90's cartoons. Jim Lee's Cyclops costume will always hold a special place for me (though I like this current one as well)

I grabbed Action Comics #0 yesterday. Great issue and I loved the Mister Mxyzptlk stuff. Was he mentioned or hinted at before the previous issue #12 where the landlady got all crazy at the end?

I guess they could have had these 0 issues planned from the start but I’m wondering if Grant Morrison had this idea all along or just shoehorned it in near the end of his run.
 
Because
if Cap/Wolvie/Fascists never took Hope away, she would have gotten the Phoenix and restarted mutantdom like she did at the end. He was right all along.

Nnnnot necessarily.
She had to get to point where she could reject the phoenix. It's not clear that she would/could have done it without the Avengerses counsel.

I love Black Spider-Man, but his Avengers left a bad taste in my mouth. Glad he doesn't go to concave, have no idea any self respecting comic creator would go. Unless its all in their contracts they get to take turns with whatever hot CW actress is pushing the latest "nerd" show.

Yeah I guess so.
But at the end of the day, the Avengers were trying to destroy it, while Cyclops believed it would help mutants. And it did.
 
Keeping in mind that these things are made-up and arbitrary, what benjamin said are the facts.

What would happen if Cyclops acted without Avengers interference:

What would happen if Captain acted without Cyclops interference:
The same thing without people punching each other for 12 issues. It would be 12 issues of Hope training in peace with Iron Fist and the Scarlet Witch just standing around training her use of chaos magic to pop out of the comic book and become my wife.

SO YEAH, THANKS A LOT, SCOTT!

More fucking Avengers books I need to read because my favorite creators are going to be on it.

I don't care what any of you guys say, following creators and not characters SUCKS. All this amazing talent on god damned Avengers books and absolute dregs on X-Men books MAKES ME FUCKING SAD AND ANGRY.

I can totally see you, arms crossed on the windowsill, looking out your window, waiting for those jet pack contrails to finally appear....

Well technically
she needed to be in tune with Scarlet Witch's Chaos Magic and the Phoenix didn't create new mutants...the DESTRUCTION of the Phoenix is what created the new mutants. So Cap was right.
 
Wolverine- I'm going to explode this island where a load of children live.
Cyclops- Instead of doing that help me destroy this giant robot that's trying to kill us. If the kids want to, they can help as well.

it comes down to more than just that.
 
Regardless of whether his writing is a bit tired/uninspired these days, Bendis has written too many good books to be called an amateur. I think Bendis' writing would benefit from staying away from event comics and event planning for awhile, dropping his work load to 2-3 titles (preferably not team books), and just focusing on them.

Technically it was a combination of both Scarlett Witch and Pheonix but both were needed and it was Avengers fault for the Phoenix splitting up, I wonder if the Pheonix is really destoryed or if it's significantly weakened and will take a long time to regenerate?

A benefit of having touched almost no Avengers books with Bendis' name on the cover is that I still consider him a AAA writer who has done no wrong by me. Gives me a glimmer of hope that his X-Men book won't suck a big one.

No, it was that Wolvie wanted to ditch the island and keep the kids from becoming part of Cyke's military. Cyclops wanted to risk everyone's lives to save Utopia. Schism was all about whether mutant kids can be kids or if they are automatically part of an army because of their genes.

It all led from the Wolverine solo story where he is tricked into killing all his kids and he didn't want to endanger any more children.
