I guess I need to read both X Forces but while I download those two...let's get to what was missed

When GIANT-SIZE X-MEN hits stands next year, fans will get to see Jonathan Hickman’s bold vision for mutantkind unfold in epic adventures told by the industry’s most acclaimed artists. These large-scale but standalone stories will be specifically designed to highlight the artist’s talents, and each issue will focus on a specific character. And next March, Hickman will team up with legendary artist Ben Oliver to turn the spotlight on the Master of Magnetism in GIANT-SIZE X-MEN: MAGNETO #1!
Created by Stan Lee himself, Magneto’s been an fixture in the X-Men mythos since the very beginning. Although he debuted in 1963's UNCANNY X-MEN #1 as the X-Men’s premiere Super Villain, he eventually became one of their fiercest members. Via Chris Claremont’s pen, Magneto was equipped with a tragic backstory, shedding light on his motivations and developing him into one of the most complex characters in the Marvel Universe. An unrelenting champion for mutantkind, Magneto now finds himself leading a mutant nation once again—but this time, he has all of mutantkind including the X-Men standing at his side. Determined to make this new dream of Krakoa prosper, Magneto must now make dealings with his former sworn enemy—humanity!

Ben Oliver, known for his seminal work on ULTIMATE X-MEN, is the perfect artist to capture the emotion behind Magneto’s new role as mutant ambassador. “It's been many years since I last worked on an X-Men related project, and I couldn't be happier than to be working with Jonathan,” says Oliver. “I've long been a fan of Jonathan's work, and Magneto as a character, so to collaborate on this project is fantastic.”

GIANT-SIZE X-MEN: MAGNETO will be the second of five essential one-shots, with the first—GIANT-SIZE X-MEN: JEAN GREY AND EMMA FROST—debuting in February. Uniting Jonathan Hickman with the best artists in the industry, these stories are destined to be instant classics that fans won’t want to miss!

Watched Avengers Earth's mightiest heroes Season 2...they really must of liked Zemo because they had him avoid the fukking Enchantress the entire episode...lol. Utterly absurd. As bad as Panther putting Surfer in a armlock.

Is Hickman trolling?

Is Hickman trolling?

Turning Bobby straight would be an easy way to get the job done if so

 

[Jmare007]

Is Hickman trolling?

Yes, he does that kind of shyt all the time.

Quick reminder that the Jimmy Olson book by Matt Fraction is about as hipster as a comic book can get, but still awesome.

Is that Batman panel from Jimmy Olsen also?

 

[TheGodling]

Is that Batman panel from Jimmy Olsen also?

Yes, every issue is basically a series of one/two pagers with an overarching story.

Picked up Far Sector because it's a black female lead with a black artist...and it's gonna be one of those

The Good;

The Art

The Far Away From Earth Intergalactic setting--as a Bat-stan, I'm trying to get into more cosmic shyt

Some hard boil cop shyt is expecting

Spoiler: The Bad

A brand new character who's already supremely confident and capable (in a meeting with an alien Supreme Court talking shyt)...oh I'm sure there's gonna be character development

The written is already too "sassy" "woke" ("mad wild" because "crazy" is now a slur--starts off with a Things Fall Apart) "topical" ("This place looks like Manhattan...if you can make it in NY") and makes too many Earth references (lowkey Trump reference)

And it's already too on the nose with the internet/social media references when naming the stuff in the alien planet

Okay, I'll give it five solid chances to show me something

3/5 off the setting and art alone

KILLADELPHIA was the best comic I read last week and I could see it becoming a TV series with the quickness.

That and Something is Killing the Children even though the obvious analogy will be that its a violent Stranger Things.

. Marauders is dope. I might replace New Mutants with this on my pull list.

New Mutants bored the shyt out of me.
