Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus
Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus rated it 7 years ago
I've read criticisms that this was fairly typical. Fair enough. I liked this because there's a lot of metal being put in humans. There's also a hatred of mutant kind rising, and this kind of prejudice is old school X-Men. It's what they've been fighting against from the beginning: blind hat...

I'm loving the X-Men once more. No Scott Summers, no Jean Grey. Two of my biggest X-Men pet peeves, to be honest, are gone. Instead, I get this: I needed a break from Lang's Ant-Man and this was perfection: dark, realistic, and just plain fun. Not only that, I get moments like this: ...

I like, this, though. They might have different reasons for getting together, and they might verbally jab at each other, but there's no sanctimony of the do-gooder here. They want to save people, yes, but these are criminals, or at the very least, people who have sacrificed their own values at so...

Although God is Doctor Doom in Battleworld. But he has a plan! With the Thing's help, he can get The Destroyer, and not only kill Doom but take his place. Or so he tells everyone. The Thing and his people just want The Maestro - who i can't help but think of as The Hulk - out of Dystopia....

But it's not quite what you'd expect, not from anything other than Secret Wars. This issue shows us the Thing's origin, and why he's so desperate to get The Hulk. It all makes sense in the end, and this went by far too fast: I desperately wanted to know how it would play out. Kinda like I exp...

This has a lot of the Frightful Four - apparently what the Marvel FF are called here - as well as more Doom. And man, he is really twisted here: he works by his own code of honor, but isn't above using people, stripping away everything that makes their life worth living, if they insult his honor. ...

Well, for me, not the FF. They've got to deal with zombified versions of themselves, who are older, smarter, and more experienced than they are. And after that, Namor: possibly the strongest being on the planet, who've they've just released from his ten-thousand year stint in Atlantean prison. ...

Avenging Spider-Man is the team-up series: it throws Spider-Man together with another character - so far, all Avengers, and all single characters - and sees what happens. It's pretty revelatory as far as characters go. In the first storyline, it delves into Spider-Man's place on the team, whic...

But this also proves my point about the sucking hole of how many decades of Marvel history pulling at you. How do you really understand what's going on between Scott and Erik and Charles unless you know the history between Professor X, and Magneto, and Cyclops? What about when they mentioned wha...

This is a reboot given that Marvel Now was a reboot of, well, everything. Every single title got a new start under Marvel Now, and even the ones that didn't - like Wolverine and the X-Men - eventually did get a new start under the Marvel Now Banner. The Uncanny X-Men I read recently were mostly...
