Low,
While I would like to see Rogue and Gambit back as a comic...I don't think there's enough traction left after going to Mojoverse, space, and some other places while still giving the couple some real....pathos in terms of how they work as a couple along with the whole "Yep, we're married."
But we'll see. Hickman has some good will left with me considering his track record with Avengers, Future Foundation, Fantastic Four, and that SHIELD mini-series he FINALLY finished.

Low,
Well to be fair, we already have like at least...what, five if we count Frank Castle. I mean there's Robbie, Johnny (who is running hell) Ketch (who is probably just taking a break) Jones and Frank.
Also to note, War of the Realms is over, Thor is now King of Asgard (and worthy of Mjolnir), and Hela and Karnilla as co rulers of Hel are pretty darn good at figuring out how to torture the elf wizard that I never much liked.
Also Immortal Hulk makes it clear, Gamma is Hell's farts.

Low,
The Wasp issue was very good. I wasn't ready for it to end at 10...but it felt right nonetheless.
As for who made it back: Boom-Boom, Domino, (which is good cause her mini-series ended pretty sweetly), Shatterstar, Cannonball, Warpath, Rachel Grey, Cable (the young version), One of the many different versions of Deathlok. I think that's about it. Stryfe is still alive but mind wiped, and the rest of Clan Dayspring is still around. I think.

Six new X-titles?!? As much as I'm enjoying this new direction being established by Hickman (after only one issue of each miniseries), I'm not sure it'll be enough to make me want to get six new titles.
I could definitely see myself getting the main X-Men book. Maybe the New Mutants or Maurauders (Isn't Pyro supposed to be dead?). These are the two books being written by Hickman and one by Gerry Duggan.
X-Force I'd be iffy on. Line up shown on the cover art looks interesting (Beast and Colossus are in there), but I don't know the writer.
Excalibur (Why in the name of Will Eisner would you have a team with Apocalypse?) and Fallen Angels (I just don't see the point of this book at all) would most likely be a no.

I think most of the Wave one titles i will at least read the first three issues. X-Men(if someone is able to manage that powerlevel it would be Hickman^^), New Mutants and Excalibur are a sure stay after that. And even the Rest is not sounding like something I would stop reading with the current information. Mutant pirates anyone^^?
And if Hickman does move the New Mutants forward I would just read the six new titles for that alone^^

A-zombie,
Pyro, the original is indeed dead. This is another mutant with similar abilities that was recently shown. I forgot his name but he made his debut back in the last run of X-mend: Gold.
X-force appears to be more corporate funded or at least better outfitted now that Jean Grey and Beast are doing the assignments. (At least. I THINK they are)
As for why Apocalypse is going Excalibur...not sure I know either but then again he was acting kind of weirdly nice in that whole Age of X-man thing...
I think I'm going to reserve judgment on what to read based on how the mini-series spins out.

The way the goverment in the Comics works someone will do it sooner or later. And will be surprised if it blows up in his face like the dozen of times before^^. I mean being stupid seems to be a requirement for the job.
So prepare for the new and improved Puppet Master as a brain in a jar or something like that.

In The Fantastic Four comic, the TVA (Temporal Variance Authority, I think that was their name) said that not all alterations to the past result in alternate timelines.
They said the timeline reshapes itself and the altered past becomes the current past and everyone remembers it that way.
Brought this to comic thread since it will never relate to the MCU.
This got me thinking. If altering the past does not always create other timelines, by extension a case where there was a major action/decision taken may also not create alternate timelines.
Example: Origin of Doctor Doom. Victor Doom refused to listen to Reed Richards about a flaw in his experiment, which resulted in his machine exploding and his disfigurement. He then went on to become Doctor Doom.
Logic of alternate timelines argues that there is one where Victor listened to Reed, the flaw was corrected and he never became Doctor Doom.
But it is entirely possible that no alternate timeline was ever generated at that point. Thus there is no timeline where there isn't a Doctor Doom.
(BTW, there is a What If story where Victor doesn't become Doctor Doom. Don't remember the details, so I don't know if the machine exploded or not.)

I don't think there should ever be a world without a Dr. Doom. Even if Reed had pointed out the mistake and the machine didn't explode... He was always arrogant, he was always brilliant. His quest to protect Latveria and free his mother's soul would always be a part of his character.
Getting scarred and wearing the mask is the only thing that would not have happened if the machine didn't explode... everything else that makes Doom, Doom is still there. If anything having someone else catch a mistake would be humiliating and fuel his bitterness and jealousy the same as if he'd ignored it.

Look's like Marvel is coming out with a murder mystery.
Could not find this on Marvel's website, so here it is from my local comic store.
Thomas Seitz |
Charles,
There's a lot of stuff that might or might be connected, but I still think the main event will be another around of Annihilation where (this is just my belief/theory/idea) the spirit of Thanos is broken into various bug scions of Annihilus and are trying to destroy the known universe. But that's just one part of it. Clearly that Mask of Eternity from Marvel 1000 has a role to play too. And of course the aftermath of House of X/Power of X.

So while I'm sure there are some that will complain about Hickman's work around, I for one welcome the fact he's made Goldballs WAY more fun and interesting that before.
The fact that this group of mutants works together to make that happen, proves what a great writer he is.
And yes making that work is a stretch but that happened before. I mean one example that comes to mind is Storms power makes her highly resistant against telepathy?
Just that Hope is on this Island would make anyone wonder, what she could do with all this powers at her hand. I mean Mimic with just five powers duplicated could get bad. But her duplicating jamie madrox and having all the other powers for example would get out of control real fast^^

I agree Low, It's a good way to combine mutant powers AND also improve at least ONE existing character in such a way that he (and some others now) are respected.
As for Hope, well I think the fact she's got this kind of epic power already, now coordinating it with others makes her even more scary. And this was before we thought she might host the Phoenix Force. :P :)

Low,
The trouble with Utopia was unlike Krakoa (which besides being sentient), there wasn't any way to 'legitimize' a mutant nation. With these moves, I see that being more certain to last. Possibly. We'll see.
But I still don't see how they can turn Bailey Hoskin (a guy that self-detonate ONCE and die) into something cool/respected.

Seeing that death is more or less meaningless now for mutants, it could be possible^^
Remembering that how long till Destiny comes back? I want the first gay relationship I read about in comics back^^

I'm liking the Invisible Woman comic.
I always knew she was the most powerful of the FF, but this show how much a bad-a$$ she is.
I like the expansions of her powers.
> Changing the color of her hair by bending light. That means she could beat any member of DC's Spectral Lantern Corps.
> Infravision - I think she could beat Daredevil in a lights out cage match.
> Not to mention her fighting skills.

Charles,
Except that the villains are throwing around the idiot ball. If you've got a surgeon on-staff who can do what they did to her eyes, then (a) why make it repairable with a touch of a button, (b) why bring her into a room with said button, and (c) why not also put a blood-constriction device leading to her brain, to shut her down in case she tries anything?
And at some point, she needs to make a firm line-in-the-sand: if you have hostages, you can make me do this, but nothing further. "Give you the tech keys to the world's computers, after you tell me you'll use them to crash whole economies" seems like the greater evil, compared to "some kids will be blown up."

Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas and Benjamin Jackendoff Introduce a New Werewolf By Night
Being only vaguely familiar with the Black Eyed Peas, I know pretty much nothing about this Taboo person. Still, I don't really care, because I like the Werewolf by Night, and this could be a cool new interpretation of the character. Not to mention, ever since Penny Dreadful, something about Native Americans and the werewolf legend is just ten tons of awesome!
