the moira being a villain and the cause of mutant destruction seems to correlate directly to making enemy of the state. what kinda kills all this shyt for me is that this council shyt isnt working. everyone seems to have some sort of underhanded deal going on, but want complete transparency. its like they want you to root for chaos/

So far I like the Council stuff, though we will see if everything has been worth it once Immortal X-Men starts because everything about the QC has been building to that book.

I like mutants trying something different and of course something like the QC would be full of fukkery and trouble, that's what drives stories. If they had a council like Arakko it would be pretty boring. It's supposed to be complicated and not black or white. But again, we'll see if Gillen pulls it off, I have faith in dude. If he ends up writing a bleh story, then this whole thing ain't gonna last past 2023.

Gillen was on fire in 2011 before they brought in Bendis for all that teenage Original 5 bullshyt.

I was catching up to Gillen's Eternals and this dude Ribic continues to not give one single fukk about faces. Got Danvers looking like a 70 year old, and when you compare her to Tony...

To make a face look that old with so few lines is an odd accomplishment though, even unintended. @ old ass Carol.

I'm still disappointed about Hickman leaving and this Wolverine event hasn't helped.
This Gala being a one-shot seems like Marvel is starting to realize that they can't keep milking this Krakoa era.

they shoulda been realized that

I took the time to read Gillen's Eternals run over the last week. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanos actually reads like his old self, not "Cosmic deadbeat daddy barbarian warlord Thanos" we been getting for the last few years. Typing that made me realize some exec was prolly told he was "Genghis Khan... in Space" and they ran with it.

The Rogues dropped today. It felt kinda.... paint by numbers? What's Bronze Tiger doing here?

Human Target been one of my favorite books month to month.... going on hiatus.

I tried giving Eternals a shot, but couldn't get into it after issue 3.

yeah I initially dropped it. Felt it was too boring and it seemed like Gillen was trying to get his Hickman on.

It reads much better in chunks or a trade. But yeah, it's alot of talking and polítics. I never been an Eternals fan so this was a good reset point for me. I've really liked the run so far but I ain't gonna act like it's a must read either.

It does give me even more confidence that Immortal X-Men will be dope though

I disagree they could of milked it BUT Hickman didn’t seem like he started it to last forever So they dragging now

I liked The Rogues. Sure it was paint by numbers but it's following the heist movie patterns to that was to be expected.
I agree with you about picking Bronze Tiger to be a part of it though. I understand needed to replace the two dead members and Magenta works since she's a Flash villain already but Bronze Tiger came out of left field. I think it was because Williams didn't want the cast of the book to be 100% white but even if that were true he could've selected Chunk, Girder, Peek-A-Boo or the black Top.

Percy's Wolverine project was fukking useless held the line hostage for 2 months for no damn reason

Moira was an awesome retcon that was completely wasted under Hickman. And Evil Moira is an awesome concept that makes no damn sense as soon as Hickman leaves
