Empyre: X-Men #1

[laughing_tree]

[Empyre] is mostly an Earth-centric production – but noted Shi’ar allies the X-Men do get a mini that’s one of the wildest and weirdest scripts I’ve read in some time. -- Al Ewing

Insert Krakoa complaint here

I swear, Scarlet Witch is the female Hank Pym. Every time someone gets somewhere with her, someone else bring up her mental breakdown and suddenly everything she’s worked up to gets flushed down the toilet. True, her breakdown had far more cosmic consequences than his did, but still!

Love Plants vs. Zombies, though, so I’m kind of curious to see where this goes. They’ve even managed to squeeze in a Crazy Dave pastiche.

... really having to resist gratuitous use of the f-word at the Wanda stuff.
(Not helping is the Needless Hickman Prose. Taking forever to say f-all in the most flowery way possible.)


Guessing Madrox getting killed because it's 'funny' is his thing now.

You can really tell which bits were written by Hickman and which by Howard at some points.
Like Charles actually admitting, "okay, yeah, our plan to have ALL the evil mutants come live on our island has a few flaws."

Also the way they're not going on about how much humans suck every five seconds. That helps.

I really miss when Madrox was the guy offering options other than constant war.

Well, Angel and Monet here are complaining about how accidentally getting the order wrong is the work of humanity’s awfulness and their oppression towards even their own kind, so there’s still that.

STOP HELPING, WANDA!

No more mutants? NO, MORE MUTANTS!!!

[scorntx]

She already did that.
... funny how Exodus isn't telling little children that story.

I (85M) recently discovered my daughter (33F) isn't a mutant or biologically related to me. Now I let my follower (900M) and my nation smear her as some sort of Antichrist figure. AITA?
