The Weekly Comics Grind

[Advocate]

You aren't actually reading AvX, are you? Where did you get this crazy list?

So, Stark DIDN'T break the Phoenix force and it then inhabited 5 mutants? Cyclops, Emma Frost, Colossus, Namor, and Magik??
Oh right that happened in June in Avengers vs XMen issue 5.

Nick Fury's son isn't black and was originally Sgt. Marcus Johnson???
(Battle Scars issue 5)

Cable didn't get the technovirus cure from Hope??
Oh look ...

Blaquesmith helps Hope to realize that she can still save Cable, and she begins to absorb the techno-organic virus before fully manifesting the Phoenix Force raptor for the first time around herself. When it vanishes, Cable is cured not only of the advanced incursion of the virus, but apparently fully, as his left hand is shown to be fully organic along with his right eye, but he remains in a catatonic state.

Really?

The Jean Grey one was paraphrased from the article I posted. Most of which was also explained in said article, BUT OKAY KORLY!

I think the BIGGEST question on everybody's mind is this:

How many new Deadpool titles will come of this? 4? 10?

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

4^10.

[Mzo]

Blaquesmith? BLAQUESMITH?

Fuck you.

Every once in a while I wonder what's going on in continuity-central, and then I read stuff like this and don't any more. Bendis's New Avengers was fun, but basically over. Morrison's Action Comics seems to be mostly free of the DC universe. The rest of it just gets sillier by the minute.

If Bendis ever writes the Luke Cage/Jessica Jones series he's been half-doing for years in New Avengers, the rest of the Marvel universe could fall off a cliff for all I care.

Reading books is a different experience than reading Cliffs Notes.

Reading a wikipedia plot summary is not the same as watching a film.

Reading a review of an album is not the same as listening to music.

Don't just read summaries of comics and expect to be entertained.

If you like the writing in any given Bendis book, there's a pretty good chance you'd like the writing in all of his books, even if you don't like where it takes the characters, you'll probably enjoy the ride there.

Chef Bowers, it's great that you read some more detailed accounts of AvX (it was clear you were just skimming the first time) but you might feel different about the events of the story if you'd actually READ the story.

I don't really care what you people do, but I really enjoy some of these stories, and I would probably enjoy them less if I was just reading summaries instead of the actual books.

AvX has been interesting to say the least. They're taking Cyclops in an different direction.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Does it feel true to his character though? Im not sure when they changed him ( but i would guess it was morrison) bit the cyclops that endorsed wolverines x force never rang true to me.

[Korly]

Cyclops is one of the characters who has had real growth in the last few years. Ever since House of M made mutants an endangered species he's really stepped up as the true leader of a race of people. Everything he's doing seems exactly in line with what has led him here.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Killing people has never been his thing.
