This font looks like some shit a Christian church would use to convert people to Jesus.
God please save us. Save the Mutants.
Resurrxion sounds interesting since it seems like the fighting will be over and we might get some positivity lol.
So when New Mutants comes out and Hugh Jackman retires.

Seth "ratings-killer" Rollins as the Inhumans sounds about right

I think abe's head is near the end there, instead of the o. Is that the resolution? The Mignolaverse arrive and kill off both franchises?

This can only go well, just like WCW in 2000.
No, the Inhumans are Roman Reigns. Rollins is way too good to have their stank on him.

Yeah I'm definitely not renewing my MU sub when it expires.
Hey Scotty...Mutants, man!
I really do not like that guy's face.

Not sure if that's a good thing for Civil War II's quality or not. I kinda bailed after a few issues. It's typical for Marvel events to start well and descend into shite, but this time the drop was meteoric. It's probably the worst event in years actually.
Dude, it's best value comic wise, it's the WWE Network of comics if the Network just now added WM 32
AOU still takes the top spot, all books just bullshitted til the event ended.

You're a comic book writer. Marvel wants you to fix the X-men.
What do you do?
What do you do?
Black Hammer. I'll even pay for 'em.
Knew it wouldn't be worth the wait.
Yikes. I'll let you know.
More Psylocke!
Seriously? burn it to the ground.
I had the $1 comic-con special and didn't renew. lol
I think stuff like Axis and Original Sin were worse.
Yeah but I like that mostly. They arent doing sub par work. They are doing what everyone expects from them.

Step 1: Bring back Blink
Step 2: Kill off the O5 in the most brutal fashion possible
Step 3: ???????
Step 4: Profit
Hasn't like every X-writer since tried that, including Claremont himself?

I don't want to point out the obvious, but does Marvel realize that they spelled "Resurrection" incorrectly?
It irks me

Haha dude your cray!I couldn't possibly. Super excite for that book though it will be glorious, and on that day, we will shoot that shit
Also how could you possibly call this not worth it, we have some glorious reaction here, I didn't think I would see a new blood reference again in my life. I'm waiting for vampiro to stalk into the thread and unsuccessfully set someone on fire and push them off the titantron.

It's typical, but that doesn't mean it always happens. Infinity and Secret Wars were great. They were kinda like, if Avengers/New Avengers is the TV series, the events are The Movie (closer to Big Damn Movie if we're using TV Tropes), the big, actionpacked showpiece to cap off the whole thing. The ending of Secret Wars is a perfect close to Hickman's FF & Avengers runs. I welled up a little like three times over the course of the final issues. I might bitch about there not being a Fantastic Four book, but if there was never another Fantastic Four story, I'd still be satisfied.
I'll give you Axis. That was poor even from the end of the first series of Uncanny Avengers. I thought the first two issues of Original Sin were strong though. It got too weird after that though, and not in the fun way the teasers seemed to promise.
Yep. Do a back to basics, Rebirth-esque approach but with modern sensibilities. We need another Astonishing X-Men, basically.
Original Sin was the most boring thing I have ever read and if I hadn't block it from memory, I would have mentioned it in last month'd thread for "books that make me want to quit comics".

So
soft reboot, introduce a status quo with a whole new team of diverse characters, add complexity to pre-existing characters, add a whole bunch of iconic side characters, big operatic storytelling that emphasizes character psychology and relationships, double down on the civil rights metaphors
That sort of thing?
Old school fans seem to get angry over that stuff these days lol.

Clearly comics were a mistake. We should all be watching Steven Universe instead.

I once told a cashier in a comic shop "I can't wait for Ultimatum." I fear no bad comic.
Man, thinking about Infinity again. It was so good:
"Now we win." Badass.
That episode today was mediocre honestly, I'll still take a Bunn horror book over more mutie shit though.
Ultimatum did good by Spider-Man at least, even if what came after sucked. Ultimatum sucked, but I was honestly more disappointed by Battle for the Cowl in 2009.

Some writers don't help with their "M-Word" shenanigans.
Has "Mutant Lives Matter" popped up in a comic book yet?
The X-books have gone back to the disease angle.
They don't want Coates and Walker to leave so no.

You know what comic has aged rather poorly?
Geoff Johns first New 52 Aquaman reboot arc. Taking a step back it's kind of obnoxious and its central theme of 'the comic book world thinks Aquaman is lame too!' makes no sense. It just wanted to make a point and it didn't really do anything interesting with the story or Aquaman character to justify going in that direction.

oh, no. Filler episode was kinda boring. Outside of the bit with Onion, of course. I think this show really shines when they're advancing the main plot.
