I thought Sinister wasn't a mutant but a human that got his powers from Apocalypse? Why is he able to reside on Krakoa? Also I'm not really feeling how they've given a pass to people like Sinister, Shaw, Apocalypse, Sabretooth (initially), etc who have routinely given hell to the X-Men and mutants in general. Some people regardless don't deserve second and third chances. :francis:

Sinister has Thunderbirds x Gene implanted in him so that somehow let's him pass.

House of X changed all of that...Hickman covered it..much like Moira now being a mutant with groundhog day abilities.

My random “list” of comics crap:

*Will DC EVER drop the 3 Joker story they teased YEARS ago?!

*I guess the Secret Warriors team that debuted during Secret Invasion is “shelf” status

*I finally read the War Of The Realms trade. “War Avengers” was a pretty hardbody team!

*Them old ladies (HordeCulture) that beat up the X-Men seem like some DC villains. I liked em’.

*Maybe I missed it......but have ANY mutants refused to join the mutant revolution at Krakoa?

*Coli cash on Onslaught showing up at some point in 2020?

*Do any of you brehs read that Image book “Sex” about the retired superhero and his supporting cast n wild sexual stuff? Great book!

*Elsa Bloodstone is a great character who I think should get a MCU movie. Marvel sleep!

*Who’s gonna be the big bad in DC’s next Crisis event?

*How come Marvel’s villains haven’t organized like DC’s villains did in “Infinite Crisis”? The closest we got was “Old Man Logan” and that was just alternate reality/future and Dark Reign (sorta)

*Think we’ll see a Immortal Hulk vs. Sentry fight in 2020?

New Mutants was cool :ehh: It's getting ridiculous how every new enemy has a power damper weapon though, has that been the norm for X-Men stories in the last few years or it's just a Hickman and crew thing? :patrice:


X-Force #3 :leon: a lot of shyt was left off the page, not sure why. This clearly feel likes the least attached DoX book but at the same time is the one that has had the most important moments :heh:


Domino :picard:


I gave up on Fallen Angels, besides it seems it's only gonna be a 6 issue mini so whatever.

Who read that new Dark Knight book by Frank Miller? I guess they sell well but I other than that I have no clue why DC keeps letting Miller write their characters.

Because he has his own sandbox where he's content and not fukking with the main books.

West where the Sunsets
Scanned a few issues that I didn't really wanna bother reading:

.Doom 2099 - I liked the OG series, but I had no desire to read this. The ending was :heh:

.Golden Child - I'll pick this up if I see it in a dollar bin, only because Darkseid is in it. MAGA Joker. :dead:

.Scourge: Silver Surfer - Don't give a shyt about the new mini-series. This seems like your typical "hero thrown into the mix" story. I'll pick up the recent SS series when I find it in the cheap boxes, so I'll probably pick this one up to see his new powers. The ending was :mjlol:

New Mutants #3 is an entirely different book from the first two issues.

And it's a much better book, so I don't know why they didn't go with that storyline from the get go.

HoX was just a big retcon event that will be retconed eventually. Like New 52

Probably. I expect it to be nonsensical.

They know they can't work together.

I think it's a combination of things. Ego, not wanting to deal with certain heroes, and villains grouping together and not being on the move means a certain bloodhound can fine them and attack
