Marvel teases death of X-Men?

Eww after the last circle jerk that went on for ages after Scott killed him this is the last thing those shitty books need. Bring back Bendis.

This is probably the first time anyone has ever said that before lol.

Is Steve the new Black Bolt? lol not a fan of the armor look. Is that book good though? I don't really mess with Inhumans. Wish Marvel would push the Eternals.

The current Inhuman books are good.
 
The rise of Inhumans in the marvel U I find hilarious.
Coupled with all the other super powered people that aren't mutants or Inhumans and yet humans still hate mutants for some reason.

If anything Inhumans should be the genetic bogeymen now.
That's pretty much their purpose in Agents of SHIELD right now.
 
I love the MCU but my biggest disappointment is the effect it has had on the comics due to the property rights. I grew up reading the X-men and the effort marvel are putting in to remove mutants from the universe makes me sad. I get the business logic behind it but they were such an integral part of the universe I've been so invested in.
 
I think I'm reading and enjoying almost all of the current X-books to some degree. All-New is the weakest, despite Land on Uncanny. I might drop it soon.

Uncanny Inhumans is great. I thought All-New was just okay but some people in comicgaf seem to really enjoy it.

Right now people hate mutants because they think
the terrigen mist killing thing is contagious

And Storm apparently likes wrinkly old men now. Though didn't she have a thing for Magneto once?

Storm was in a relationship with Wolverine before he died so the current push isn't all that crazy.
 
Nothing of value would be lost, their hasn't been a good mainland X-Men comic in years.

Remender's Uncanny X-Force was the last truly great X-Book.

Wolverine and The X-Men also had its moments, but the Frankenstein arc and crossover hell did a ton of damage.

One of their most popular writers just finished a 3-4 year run on the books. They're not trying to kill them off.

X-men are in a lot of books, and permeating some of Marvel's most high profile series.
 
The last thing I read was the end of Black Vortex, does the current whatever the hell is going on have a simple name I can search? I tend to just wait until an event/saga/story/whatever is over, then look up the reading order lists and track those down.
 

Gaimans run is stellar. One of the first trades I bought and I love it. Wish they'd reprint Kirbys original run because I'd love to read it.

This is probably the first time anyone has ever said that before lol.

I've more good Bendis than bad so it's not an unusual thing for someone to say in my book. Hell I bet a lot of people said when Shadowland dropped.
 
I liked and absolutely hated Bendis' run on Uncanny, he wrote a good Cyclops and the build up was good, but then he just completely and utterly botched the landing, like holy shit I still can't believe it.
 
For all intents and purposes, the X-Men movies do nothing for them.

Except bring movie watchers to the comics? But sure, discount people like me that got into the X-men because of Fox's films.

The main reason being that they wrote the entire series into a corner years ago, much like what happened to Spiderman before BND. As much as fans hated BND, it gave Spiderman room to grow as a character and as a story.

IMO, the best creativity that the X-Men line has exhibited in the past few years was Wolverine and the X-Men (the first run, giving us amazing storylines with Idie, QQ, and Evan) and X-Men Legacy with Legion.

The series literally fell apart after it was revealed that
Dark Beast was behind them losing their powers

Cyclops was right.

Cool I'll give it a read then.

And watch him mangle everyone once again?

Kitty and Beast have been tortured enough.

His run on Uncanny was fantastic and sorry but Hank hasn't been tortured nearly enough.

I've only read Gaiman's run, and only because it was Gaiman, but it was amazing.

I love Bendis. Read a lot of hate here, but it's divorced from how I feel about what I read, so I don't pay it any attention. He keeps getting put on big titles for a reason. Fear for Miles now that Bendis will probably have to write him into mega-events. :/ He went a long time without having to do that in the Ultimate U.
 
Not really surprising since most of the money is in movies, television, and merchandising.

Someone probably crunched the numbers and figured they could live without the income from the mutant comics if it meant shifting those resources to other brands that they can actively build around.
 
I'm not sure anything can draw me back to the X-Men. The last good run imo was Whedon/Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men. Grant Morrison did a good job, but I wasn't a fan of the art.
 
Nothing to be ashamed of, everyone got bodied by Doom, not even Thanos was safe, he got hit with that Sub Zero fatality.

OK Black Panther played Doom but come on, he's clearly stolen Captain America's jobber aura, no one is safe from Panther right now.

reed made him play himself too. dont forget that

instead cyclops went out like johnny cage at the beginning of annihilation
 
It's true I don't watch the movies but I play the games. They basically fucking banned all mutants for new games. I believe Contest of Champions and Marvel Heroes are like the last Marvel games with mutants in them.

LEGO Avengers got away with a handful of mutants by either using the movie world "enhanced" or saying they are part of this here team. Like, Hazmat is on an Avengers team, so she can sneak by.

Its Reed, it doesn't need to be said that he plays Doom.

Dammit Cyclops did go out like Cage I can't even bullshit my way out of that.
 
The only thing that got me mad about Marvels pettiness over the franchise rights was not throwing cyclops into mvc3. I loved him in the prior game.

This just seems like a usual comic book event. Theyll be back like 6 months later lol.

A soft xmen reboot under Hickman or Morrison (doubt he'd do it again) or one of the newer interesting writers would be great. Id love to read an epic xmen story from the ground up.
