Kaftan Barlast Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The confusion of multi-continuity comics: Ive made my way through the entire Ultimate X-Men comicsand I liked it very much but as I was going to get back to the regular comics I am greeted by the fact that there's atleast 4 different mags and I have no clue which one is supposed to be the classical X-men and Marvels page offers me no explanation. Does anyone know the differance between: Astonishing X-men Uncanny X-men X-men New X-men DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Musopticon? Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Well, Uncanny is the main line, for starters. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Are you sure? Then what is the line that is just called "X-men" without any prefix?

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Jumping off the deep end right away are we, Mr. Baley? I saw something called "New X-men Hellion" that features a superheroine that is.. honestly Im not lying.. an Islamic Afghan refugee that wears a special bulletproof Bhurka as her costume!!!! :D DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I really hate it when they run one storyline through several different mags so you have to buy crap like The Avengers just to keep up with whats happening. ..or have vital storyline happenings in special editions that are impossible to find.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Its like DreamWave who had a smash hit with Transformers G1 but had to go and blow all their money on producing other crap comics that noone bought. I looked at "Hellions" again and it seems we have found the lamest superpower ever Tag (Brian Cruz) Brian has a limited form of mind control that allows him to tag people and make them "it" causing others to flee from them. :D DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Oerwinde Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 "Crap storylines will kill the comics." Sure... killed my interest in them some 15 years ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The writing has vastly improved from 15 years ago. 15 years ago they were writing for kids, now 15 years later they're writing for the same people they were writing for 15 years ago, only now those kids are in their 20s and prefer good writing.

Musopticon? Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Really, if one can ignore the latent pin-up-shots the artists seem to love, there's a world of good stuff in X-men comics. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Musopticon? Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Me too, but my comment had more to do with the whole "comics aren't for mature readers"-issue. I mean; sometime around -95 Uncanny was just insane with the T&A. They could have just wrote "Only for 16 or younger" on the cover. Nowadays the plotlines make up for it, but back then... kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I think I stopped reading X-men around 93-94 sometime and there wasnt much T&A back then, Psylocke didnt have a thonged suit or anything. But that was Swedish comics and I think those were years behind the US ones. But as an affecionado of fine comics such as Lady Death, I can say with confidence that a little T&A never hurt anyone :D Issue 401 of The Uncanny Xmen has to be the most confusing comic in the line, I have no clue whats going on except someone kidnaps Mystique.

Kor Qel Droma Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I guess Nick Stahl is out as Angel. Now they have Ben Foster ( Six Feet Under, Hostage) taking the role. Seeing as how they start shooting in a few weeks its good to have the cast in place. And on an unrelated note I also read that the new director wants to bring in either Venus or Serena Williams for a big role in the film. I am now officially worried. Jaguars4ever is still alive.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Yeah, its honestly not a very good comic. It reached an acceptable level of quality in the late 90's as they started hiring real writers and artists for it but now that the creep is back at the helm it probably back to the crap again.
