Anybody else feel like knowing they can be res'ed have made the X-Men incredibly sloppy?

I mean, look at the numbers. You go from dying during an event like every 10 years to dying 10 times a week.

I think that's the point. Death mean jackshyt in comics anyway and I always laugh at fans making a big deal out of Krakoa just making it cannon that it's a joke.

Way of X had mutants wanting to die just for shyts and jiggles so they could post it on social media so yeah, you got mutants being riskier, others being sloppier and enemies somehow being more vicious than ever before. Who cares

Went to my first ‘Comic Con’ yesterday out here in Atlanta. It was pretty small but still had a lot of folks in there. I grabbed a few books. Finally got my hands on both Wolverine #1’s from 1982 and 1988.

Between the convention, WhatNot and EBay I’ve bought over 400 books since @AquaCityBoy recommended to buy from EBay a few months ago

Venom looking like a fat Brock Lesnar.

Spidey looking like he missed leg day for years and been in a wheelchair longer.

Remember this commercial from back in the day when they asked if he had any formal art training?

Never seen this before. Random ass person to do the commercial on.

I remember watching this when it came on MTV and was like, "Is this the same dude from X-Force?" Even in the 90's I thought it was random, but also cool because it was a comic book guy in a Levi's commercial.

Judgment Day has been Marvel's best event in I can't remember how long (Hickman's Secret Wars?). Gillen's been on his bag since he came back, even the tie-ins he's written have been very good

And it took 6 issues and a tie in, but Legion of X was finally great

The TLR thread about Superman:Son of Kal-El

So is it safe to say that Marvel's idea to flip Donny Cates and Al Ewing on Hulk and Venom was a dud?

Both books are mid AF, and I'm very close to dropping Venom altogether.

shyt trash. The King in Black event and the fallout altogether were trash.

this shyt has been an excellent raise in Nightcrawler's stock, that's for sure.

How so?

 

[Jmare007]

How so?

He's shown the most heroics feats and basically been the MVP of the event.

And this is with Magneto fighting literally without his heart and taking down the most powerful villain
