No, Marvel successfully killed their best franchise RIP
love that WW design
I'm guessing we'll see the missing mutants in Death of X.
How many episodes until it's canceled because kids only want iPads for Christmas?

SByrne's just starting to get more mainstream awareness and he's getting a prime creator owned series. Very tight market for quality pencilers. Slott's such a slow writer, its hard to see how this doesn't impact Spider Man or Silver Surfer.
Extraordinary says you are wrong. As usual.

This is probably the best indicator we've gotten that Dead No More is Slott's swan song on ASM

I buy Apple phones, so they're the same damn thing every time.
Except I hate my 6 Plus because it's way too big. I'm under contract until January and then I'm "downgrading".
He seems to spend a lot of time arguing on Twitter.

Fuuuuck that Wondy design :O

Wonder Woman has that "I just had sex" hair.
If Slott were to leave ASM I don't really know who I would want to write it other than maybe Waid.
Jason Aaron. He should write every Marvel book.

Can you sell trades and omnibuses at comic shops?
yes.

Facts.
He's probably busy enough as it is.
Remender ASM would've been weird. Dead No More would be Uncle Ben coming back to beat Peter and Aunt May.

Dug my Image backlog.
Started with Drifter 11 and 12. I still have no idea what is going on in this book. I'd best describe it as a space western version of Lost with creepy alien doppelgängers. But it has gotten significantly more entertaining as it has gone on. The art is also pretty amazing.

in a perfect world, Fraction would be writing ASM and Samnee would be doing the art

I haven't enjoyed much from Fraction since he bailed on FF and left Marvel.
See, this man gets it.

Remember when Bleeding Cool leaked this creative team
why do you hurt me like this
I wouldn't really have a problem with Bendis on ASM other than the fact that he reads better in trade.
Bendis wouldn't be the worst thing for a street-level focused Spider-Man series.

isn't he already doing that
I really wanna see this explanation of sabotage that isn't the same X-fans whining about fucking everything since 2004.
You people are worse than than Batman fans.

I don't buy intentional sabotage since the Inhuman books are just as shitty lol
But dead is dead.
Uncanny Inhumans is pretty good IMO but I'm one of those weirdos that thinks it's far more F4/FF than X-Men. All New Inhumans earned it's fate.
People say that the Inhumans are replacing the X-Men, but I only feel that's true in regards to being an easy explanation for a character having powers.
And that book is enjoyable.

What comic is this from? Image search isn't giving me anything useful.

I think thats even worse, how creatively stagnant and completely irrelevant the franchise is, and its not even intentional sabotage. Its all in good faith lol.
I do think the endangered species status quo is really fuckin' stupid, both post House of M and this current Terrigen Mists thing. As it is, they haven't been this boring since 2000 since before Morrison/Milligan/Casey came on board.
As for Spider-Man, I think the whole Steve Jobs Peter Parker thing only happen because they have Miles, Gwen, Silk, "Spidey". You have all these other younger characters better suited to these classic Spider-Man street level and learning responsibility stories, so Peter has to be doing something else. He's effectively grown out of his own role and been kicked out his own city.

But Cindy's fantastic backstory denotes that's she's around Peter's age and she grew up rich and trained to great fight and she has pheromone and attraction that causes them to fuck all the time and isn't this character great doesn't everyone love her? Let's give her own ongoing it'll be grdKGFeyfgweabikhea
To actually make a contributing post though, the crux of most X-Men fan complaints seem to be: "THEY'RE WRITING BAD ON PURPOSE, THEY'RE NOT PUTTING THE """BIG""""" WRITERS ON THE BOOKS" and "EW INHUMANS EXIST". Even back in the mid 2000s people bitched about how there either needed to X-books or less Wolverine.
Nothing is enough for those people, they're parallel of the "Not muh Batman" folks who refuse to go seek their Batman in one of the other 30 batbooks.
SUPER EDIT 2: I've already seen "Not muh Batman" directed at King.
That was only really an issue when Slott wrote her.
Totally Awesome Hulk #1 sure was a fun book. Art is gorgeous also, isnt Frank Cho that guy with all the sexism controversy? I guess it wasnt the art itself that was in question afterall but the content?
Also I maintain that Extraordinary X-Men is a fantastic x-men book in a old school wacky mutant adventures way like they used to be before they got all moody with the movies and Morrison

Bringing the original 5 x men back to the current timeline and then actually keeping them in thus said timeline is the dumbest move ever. Instead of having an x book with a bunch of interesting mutants who we rarely see outside of large ensembles, we get shittier versions of the main team along with Jean.
Tl:dr there are enough x men to make several books yet instead we get younger versions of the same shit.
We have plenty of young mutants who can be put in the spotlight

I think Spencer actually does have a point here: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/749773105459933184
Even when he does quote supporting tweets, those people end up getting jumped on as well. If the answer is to get off twitter then people should probably stop going out of their way to shit on him for arguing people that have no intention of leaving him alone over a cosmic cube plot.

Cho's art generally has been consistently great. He's got a general problem with same-face for most of the women he draw's but it's otherwise fine.

I could not possibly agree with you more. Hate the O5 so much.

I would think it varies from shop to shop, though. It's not necessarily a universal constant.
He's being given monsters and cheesecake to draw, writer knows his strengths.

I really dont understand the O5 move. Like, who has that nostalgia for those mothafuckas?Its like a solution for a problem that didnt exist, the current mutants got too far from the original concept, now we're bringing in these new kids to do that. But I will never give a fuck about these phonies from a past timeline
