So I'm cruising down the freeway about 70 headed to work and the window of the rear driver's side door just explodes. Completely blown out, glass flying everywhere. I don't know what the hell happened.
So been dealing with that today, along with the usual kids/family/work stuff. Needless to say I'm just now settling in to read some comics. : /

1. But did she? Did she really?
Now he never existed, did he? Anyway, the dude was far too powerful and couldn't control himself. He was a threat to everyone. He had to go.
2. Well, Scott was kind of a twat.

Just hopping on the Jesus train and saying buy the shit out of Punk Rock Jesus. It's a bit rushed towards the end, but it's fucking captivating, well-written, and has plenty of motorcycle action, and we all know Sean Murphy draws the best fucking bikes.

Eva is the best. That's all there is to say.
Some quick hit thoughts from today's reads.
Uncanny X-Men: Another great issue. Story took forever to get here but it's building a lot of momentum. Can't wait to see what happens before Bendis' run is over.
Tooth & Claw: Probably going to drop it after this one. Nothing against it and I really like the art, but it's a bog standard fantasy story with talking animals.
The Kitchen: Getting better and better. I would really like to see an ongoing series with these characters, or at least set in this universe.
Batgirl: Remains to be seen what the final page actually means, but it's the most interested I've been in this series in a long time.
Wonder Woman: Definitely dropping this for as long as the Finches are writing and drawing it. Bad dialogue, meandering/incoherent story with no drama or tension, and poor art. A swift fall from grace for one of the better New 52 titles.
Manifest Destiny: So happy to have it back. Probably my favorite title being published right now. Another issue just as good as the previous two arcs.
Black Widow: More Natasha doing badass Natasha things. I hope this series survives all of the Secret Wars stuff, or maybe they could put her in a pair-up book.

Speaking of things that never got cancelled... Holy shit at Lady Machanika being back. Last week they republished #2+3, and #4 was this week. I read the first four issues (#0-3) a few years back when they came out, then nothing.
I'll buy the trade when it comes out. Been way too long for me to pick up the story without starting from the beginning.

Dear Marvel,
In preparation for the movie please re release Christopher priests run of Black panther. It's the run that made me a huge fan. I hate how Marvel ignores it for hudlins nonsense.
CMX a only has one issue of it for sale! At least MU has it

It was originally announced as planned for July 2015, so no reason to be concerned about the lack of solicitation.

I've stopped reading Elektra on MU. The story isn't good. But I still flip through the pages to look at the pretty art.

Secret Wars and Convergence are literally building on DECADES of continuity and stories so the jumping on point now would be the events themselves.
In the case of Secret Wars backstory at a minimum you would need to read:
Jonathan Hickman Fantastic Four Omnibus Volume 1
Jonathan Hickman Fantastic Four Omnibus Volume 2
Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis (the entire run)
Ultimate Doomsday Trilogy by Brian Michael Bendis
Ultimate Comics New Ultimates by Jonathan Hickman
Avengers/New Avengers by Jonathan Hickman
You would also need at least a rudimentary knowledge of the 1984 Secret Wars, 1602 by Neil Gaiman, Spider-Verse, Mark Millar's original run on Ultimates & Jason Aaron's Thor series
For Convergence:
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Zero Hour
52
Final Crisis
Multiversity
Flashpoint
Justice League by Geoff Johns
Action Comics:The Men of Steel by Grant Morrison
Superman: Doomed
New 52: Future's End
Earth 2 entire series
Earth 2:World's End
Knowledge of DC history including Pre-Crisis/Post-Crisis Pre-Flashpoint JSA, Wally West, Parallax saga, Death of Superman, Grant Morrison's work on Animal Man, JLA, 52, Final Crisis, and Multiversity.
This would be like cramming before the big exam dawg
If I didn't have so many books to read already, I'd have an easy IST order to make. It would include Punk Rock Jesus since so many of you guys gave it massive praise in the last page or so and I'm a huge Sean Murphy fan.
Really the only thing I loved about Joe the Barbarian was Murphy's art. The story was very underwhelming. Like Tim said, the writing isn't that weird. It's probably the dullest Morrison book I've read. The writing is by no means bad, but just pretty average. The art is exactly what you'd expect.
Shoot. I'm sorry guys.

My last day was yesterday. I feel so strange. Sad. Depressed. Nostalgic. I'm going to take a few days of vibe tim the channel these feelings into my work. If this what a breakup feels like I never want to fall in love. I just know there is more to life than everyday low prices.
My first idea that I want to develop is about.....mimes!
G.I. Mime: Future Police
Book about a Mime who is drafted into the Vietnam war who is abducted by aliens while on patrol.

Yeah, I heard it. Even Shots, which was an awesome song when they performed at the Grammy awards, is kinda crap here because they added some dumb effect to the vocals.
so far all i liked were Trouble, It Comes Back to You, and I Bet My Life. Maybe they will have a better version of Shots later, i'd like a non-weird version. My favorite songs from them are the Live London Sessions of Demons and It's Time on spotify.

Invincible is still great as always. A shame it sells so bad though. Hopefully more people will jump on the next issue which is 25 cent.

That's a shame. Invincible is easily my favorite cape book. It's fun, exciting, has wonderful artwork and a fine assortment of exotic alien waifus.

He was never given a chance to learn to control himself. Not Professor-X not Shield, nor the The Jean Grey school was willing to teach him. No body but Scott that is. And he was responding, until Shield blew Cyclops and Magick to hell.
To quote Mathew: " He was trying to help me and they killed him for it."
The X-men and for that matter Professor X has always been about giving Mutants a chance to live some sort of life and to contribute. All of that went out the window this issue.

Also exactly how was/is Cyclops a Twat? Seriously I just don't see it. Every time I ask a Cyclops hater this I've never received much of an answer.
how many people have called him one? i only see people call him out for his role in a vs x

Ottley is the best cape comics artist in the biz. Hope Tech Jadket survives, especially since Rhandolph is getting called up to the majors in We Are Robins. I would kill for more Invincible figs or an animated show.

That's pretty much the source of it.
After he kills Xavier and gets back in his right mind, he's all "boo-hoo, I didn't mean to" before conveniently going "Whelp, gotta go save mutants lololololol".
Basically this.
Expanding:
After he kills Xavier he has approximately 30 seconds of remorse before immediately deciding that becoming a terrorist makes sense now that the peaceful-ish mutant icon is dead, even after violent mutant aggression obviously not working (see AvX) so he runs around flashing X gang signs and freeing mass murderers from prison and going against everything Jean would've wanted.
Dude's a total fucking hypocrite, Wolverine was right and it's crazy town. I can't believe some people are #TeamSteve in Civil War and #TeamCyclops in other shit, considering while the very base message is the same (freedom), the methods are vastly different and even Steve bowed down to avoid innocent bloodshed, something Cyke would probably scoff at while crossing his arms.
It's a colossal shitstorm and the last few years of the X-Men just competing to see who is the biggest mutant asshole (Xavier's controlling! Namor is a dickbag! Cyclops is even bigger of a dickbag! Storm is an asshole now for some reason! Beast is a giant dick too! Kitty is off in space fucking outlaws and wanting to become a thief because reasons!) is really a bummer to me as someone who used to place the X-Men among his favorites.
I don't think they need to be happy go lucky one-sided people fighting clear-cut bad guys, but this was the wrong way to shake up the status quo and I'm very done with the idea of the X-Men without major reconfiguring. I like the movies because they're still in the infant stage of X-Men when it's a badass idea with cool shit going on and morally grey villains, but if I see like a 50-year-old James Marsden make an X with his arms on camera I'm gonna quit with the movies forever (and no, I'm not forgetting that X-3 was somehow even worse than all the shit I'm posting. It was so bad I thought I might never be able to like anything X-Men again).

Err....thats not what happened, like at all.
After AvsX Scott was more then content to stay in jail. While in Jail Magneto offered to break him out of jail but Cyclops refused. Even knowing that he would never see a trial and be killed/disappeared by the powers that be.
Hell Wolverine came to that jail with the intent on killing him and Scott was more then willing to let him do it. He didn't even fight back.
No Scott decided to get back into the game become Mr/Ms.Sinister told him stright out that no one else. Not wolverine Not Storm or the Avengers were up to stopping Him and people like him besides Cyclops. And if anything the last Year of X-Books have shown is that X-Men are garbage without Cyclops.

This shows that you have not read a damned thing that Cyclops has done and accomplished the last 5 years. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING Cyclops has done before or since AvsX has been remotely terrorist like.
Has Cyclops given up on Professor X ways? Yep But that because his ways were stupid and ineffective to and have accomplished nothing. That docent make Cyclops wrong or a Terrorist. Cyclops has just run out of fuck to give.
Also it should be noted that for the first time in the history of the marvel universe Masses of Humans have come out in support of mutants and that has largely been due to Cyclops efforts.
Again you call Cyclops a terrorist, Crazy, and a hypocrite but what has he ACTUALLY done to deserve any of those titles?
