More Marvel Comics Lateness From New Mutants #25 To Hulk #1 (bleedingcool.com)

Hulk #1 delayed (again!) due to paper shortage.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Usually the last week of the month is pretty light, but this week was fukking stacked! All these delays pushed everything to this week.

I had a big ass pull list this week and still didn't get everything. My shop didn't have Time Before Time or We Only Find Them When They're Dead, and Black Widow sold out almost immediately because it has a first appearance.

Only thing is Magneto and Xavier are smarter than all the characters mentioned..if it blew up in their face, I would consider that horrible writing.

Emma is just as Smart. Emma is in this current run is on par with Magneto and Xavier and her not being in on what they doing is going to come back and hurt them.

Storm, Cyclops, and Kitty are too if it comes down to it, but for this particular series they aren’t as cold blooded and preoccupied with their own teams. Anyhow those four or a combination of them should have been brought in.

No. Emma is not a level 8 genius. Nowhere near. That would put her next to Bruce Banner, Dark Beast, Sinister, Pam, Tony Stark. She was a joke character until Morrison had her banging Scott after they killed Jean in Planet X. She is not known for being brilliant in the least.

Storm and Cyclops need to be Spider Man level smart before comparing to a guy who created Alpha the Ultimate Mutant and who built Avalon.

If you been reading the whole series she is clearly the best leader of all the characters and someone both Charles and Erik treat as a peer. She is a Psychic, a teacher/dean (like them) and she’s been the most competent QC member this whole run. I am pretty sure when inferno is over she is going to take over, and it will mark the beginning of Moira not having any idea what is coming because Emma was never the boss before.

Inferno 2

Spoiler

Figured it was Mystique but yeah....

Don't know why Moira didn't tell X and Mag's to nuke the samples right as the whole island thing was starting


Wonder what the Omega Sentinel talk is about

Yeah Mystique and Destiny are gonna eventually find out about Moira again... wonder if it will be during this Inferno run tho

If you haven't noticed, anything that happened after the 90's is not cannon for R=G. So whatever contradicts stuff up to that period is bullshyt or bad

 

[Jmare007]

Is Hickman done with X-Men?

After Inferno, yes. He did craft the roadmap for the next 2-3 years of stories though (along with other writers).Of course, it remains to be seen if that roadmap is followed.

They have not been written as the smartest people in the room since the start of the Krakoa stuff though.
Chuck and Magneto been making dumb decision after dumb decision on the regular.

inferno: They have no idea what's going on with Colossus. They're screwed. Destiny prolly already know. Mikhail prolly literally got the

That's not good writing and underplsying them to push lesser, dumber characters. Mystique is not capable of doing what she's doing in Inferno. Absolutely absurd. Where was this mindset in Messiah Complex? Or when she was forced to work for X factor during Onslaught?

I didn't read the Bendis, Gillen runs? If you say so, kid.

Chuck should've asked Destiny how THAT voting would go

Chuck should've asked Destiny how THAT voting would go

that's what's fukked up about this whole thing:

Moira+a precog they'd prolly literally be running shyt forever

But Moira's fear of Destiny+ Jackass Chuck and Arrogant ass Erik..........

The main idea behind Krakoa is that bygones are bygones so they allow all of the X-Men villains to just do whatever on that island.
So Mystique doing her sneaky fukkery without anyone catching on fits with what the current status quo is.
