Personally, I really, really hate this series.

It's symptomatic of almost all DC and Marvel comics of late. The star of the book is unquestionably the protagonist, and the history of supporting characters simply doesn't matter weighed against the latest flavor of the month.

I mean, Joseph is treated as a mere plot devise, from Astra to the God damn narrative. Cyke knew Joe personally, as did a number of X-Men. Joe gave his life to fix up Magneto's screw up. And frankly, he was a pretty well developed character.

And we see absolutely none of that in this mini. I know Joe acting out of character can be justified by his brainwashing, but the indifference of everyone else? Less so.

	It's not Joseph. It's Joseph 2.0, new and (as far as Astra's concerned) free from all those annoying software glitches that plagued her first attempt. Aside from being another clone of Magneto that Astra created, the two individuals have nothing in common. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	...except that he's not Joseph 2.0, as he was pulled from the EM field. He is Joe, and regardless of what Astra considers him, his old friends should still logically consider him the same person and care about his well being.. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	It's pretty enough on a frame by frame basis, but as a narrative it seems not terribly good. For example, what IS going on in the last scan of the preview? I get there's something about a plane, and that the Blob thing is somehow giant sized, but it's terribly unclear.

	No fricking clue what's happening in either of those panels. Is Blob eating someone? Is this Ultimate? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	magneto throws a plane at joseph. joseph's breaks it before it can hit him, but a part of it lands on the blob. idk, my standards are low or something, i don't really care. i love clay mann. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
