Thread 149325591

Where the Outliers go to the cinema.

Comics in this thread:
>Magik #7
>Laura Kinney: Wolverine #8
>Uncanny X-Men #17

Bump if you're reading.

>Losers of the Round Table
lol

Oh that's great. It wasn't enough that Magik couldn't just off Liminal because otherwise Earth would get fucked, now he has taken over the body of the rather pointless sidekick (or "Cal", if you want to be kind).

>>149325594
Oh shit we're early

Magik is already finding usage of her new sword that she got last issue.

Thanks for properly introducing these guys to the readers.

Magik seems to be absolutely unimpressed with these guys.

>"The Library of The Fates. It's a nexus for prophetic information."
Is the Endling prophecy also stored here?

Magik has a point though.

>Strange can't be called because he's still stuck in his miniseries.
Oh come on, the last issue of that mini is out today.

Magik's always been kind of distant, why does she care so much about this shota again?

>She hit him with the Kotal Kahn Fatality
Shame that this doesn't kill him.

And here I thought that Liminal was going to have a heart of stone.

And now for Laura Kinney: Wolverine.

Last month we celebrated Laura's 75th issue with the conclusion of the dream world arc and finally not ending the issue on a cliffhanger. This issue we begin another string of issues, starting with the return of Haymaker from the X-23: Deadly Regenesis miniseries from two years ago (which was also written by Erica Schultz).

You know, I honestly expected a proper reintroduction and not "here's the guest star of the issue getting their ass kicked".

That was quick, even for being Round 1.

Hey, it's that woman from Issue #1. Figures that the moment this comic took a break with the endless cliffhangers that we'd return to this plot (that we still don't know much about other than Oasis seems sketchy and being funded by "a benefactor").

>Using the old X-Force outfit
It's probably for thematic purposes only since the Deadly Regenesis miniseries was set around the same time IIRC.

Well, the score is currently 1-1. Who will win the Final Round?

>>149325679
Was basically around for the first arc and now she is trying to essentially free him from the same fate of having Darkchylde

>"You're too young to see Murder Me, Mutina, Ivan."
Such a good thing that this is what the Uncanny X-Men issue is about.

And because too many people had asked Schultz when she would return, here's Gabby (and Jonathan is also there, I guess)! Although, what the actual hell has happened to her face?

And of course, it ends on a cliffhanger.

And now for Uncanny X-Men.

Last time we wrapped up the Dark Artery arc that revealed the past of the Haven House and why the Outliers came to it in the first place, while Ransom kissed Temper in the Hellfire Vigil. This time we got another one-shot issue introducing the star of the new mutant slasher movie "Murder Me, Mutina!".

And yes, this page is why I storytimed LK: Wolverine before Uncanny. Although this seems to take place after LK: Wolverine #10.

Wait, Nancy Collins and Joe Hill? What the hell are you guys doing here?
And why does that local concerned citizen feel familiar?

>She got tickets by hacking the site
Guess they couldn't have them watch a camrip online.

Oh no, not Brenda!

Hotoru is not impressed.

get spooked with the dead dad

Again, there's still a live dog inside that thing. Shouldn't you do something about that?

Wait, I do remember you. You're the guy from Issue #6.

>"Ember told me you're leaving."
How did it tell you that? Can the horse talk?

>"They want us all of us to be mutants. Chemicals in the water."
Nope, that was just some WWII Hydra scientist who wanted that so that he could continue experimenting on mutants.

Okay, so Mutina is just a mutant that hates other mutants and is now going to make a profit off of that.

>"De Eye, child. It tell me so."
Did the eye with the cannibal curse also say that you should try putting salt and pepper when eating her?

>"Oh and guess what? They've already greenlit a sequel."
What's it going to be called? "Murder Me Again, Mutina!"?

Next week: Giant-Size House of M, Exceptional X-Men #11, Deadpool/Wolverine #7.
And that's it! If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.

Today we'll be getting the reveal to the Age of Revelation event

>>149325811
>We've been making progress. Real progress.
When did you do that? What progress? Where's the progress, Scott?

Must be the best day for yana

>>149325679
She loves them young

>>149325838
Calico and Jitter are cute

>>149325971
how exciting
*rolls eyes*

>>149326528
That's great for her but I still don't care about Cal and Liminal.

>>149325859
Will X-Men ever have an actually authentic depiction of modern prejudice instead of this cartoonish shit that was outdated 10 years ago.

boring and soon to be dead titles

>>149325786
Maybe the acid chick from the first issue is back for revenge.

>>149325887
Ok but those first 2 middle panels aren't even wrong.

>>149326720
Uncanny is not dying anytime soon

>>149326748
And so long as it spotlights the kids and not Logan it deserves to keep going.

Mutina did literally nothing wrong.

>>149326770
Sell-outs have a dedicated spot in hell

>>149326768
Problem is kids should be on a New Mutant title run or nu-Generation X. Uncanny should be more than this waste of time. All these runs minus what X-factor was and Wolverine are Wine-Aunt/CW tier trash

>>149326835
>X-factor
>Wolverine
But those suck balls. I mean X-Factor was just ten issues of "oh shit man wtf are you doing?" It was an embarrassing misfire.

What's so wrong about a slasher film having a mutant as the villain.

>>149325641
ENTER.
A MAGICAL NEGRO.

>>149326710
That would require a modern comic author willingly stepping ten feet outside their little protective bubbles and interacting with an actual minority and not just angry college brown womxn with stupid haircuts and stupider glasses.

>>149325838
What provocative things would the talking lobster say?

>>149325851
Otter Party! is obviously peak cinema

>>149325866
He look happy even if a cyborg, it's better to leave him like that in case someone attack the place so he doesn't die and can defend the human family

>>149325873
The bigots will reject the gender neutral mutie and start using mutina and mutino so they can be transphobic too

>>149325803
This whole issue just feels very out-of-the-loop with horror movie culture, particularly in regard to how queer-coded antagonists get reclaimed as heroic

>>149325838

>>149325672
Feels like Magik is being needlessly confrontational and even outright stupid.

>>149327598
yeah, like Horror movies have been way more progressive and inclusive then most mainstream films at the time even if it was unintentional in some cases. Hell Child's Play is the brainchild of Don Mancini, a gay man and there's Night of the Living Dead having a black lead in a time when that was barely getting traction.

>>149327688
That's her whole thing

And she always gets away with it

>>149325912
That was the most anticlimactic shit I've seen in months.

>>149327688
She is a woman after all, that's just realistic.

>>149325603
_Shot_ first, not fired.

>>149327796
50/50 She joins the team

>>149327927
I hope she shows up again at least.
I was actually looking forward to this issue, I have a thing for slashers.
And she's barely in it and barely gets a fight (if you could call it that) before the issue ends abruptly.

>>149327688
Can’t make DEIctor Strangenstein look too bad.

>>149327688
>Didn't do anything until Yana started demoning out
>The kid in a comfortable room and only chained when they were moving him
>yana is acting like he is being tortured
>they went all this time without harming and now Magik is convinced they will kill the moment she turns her back
>Darkchylde has been consider evil by everyone including Magik herself until very recently so their hesitation is well warranted
She couldn't be more in the wrong.

>>149325851
tell me more about Otter Party!

>the X-men are seriously worried about a fucking movie
If the plot was gonna be that the movie would inspire a mutant to go on a murder spree it might have had a compelling message at least but its just another story of a self-hating mutant.

>>149325811
>Movie is about a mutant slasher killer
>She brings the terror from the terrigen mist
Wait what the fuck?

I liked this issue of Uncanny. I like Simone. Once she has the space to play in her sandbox, she creates fun comics.

Editorially/marketing wise, I don't know if this should have been "Uncanny". Its by the expectations of that brand, being pulled into bad crossover events, and watering down its premise with the oversaturation of Exceptional and NYX also doing the "Young mutants" thing.

From the Ashes has been a disaster. Adjectiveless and Uncanny are the only decent survivors. And Wolverine too I guess just because he *always* needs to have a volume on sale.

Marvel would be wise to shrink the line down those 3 titles and maybe a 4th if they've got a strong enough premise; there's probably room for an edgy Cable/Deadpool style black ops team.

Maybe do an editorial initiative to spread the mutants back out in other Marvel books. Storm on the Avengers is a good start.
They really need to retreat and refocus the X line. Make people *want* more spinoffs.

There's no reverence for "X-Factor" as a title. It was all for Peter David

The love of "Excalibur" was for Claremont & Davis. The love of "New Mutants" was for Claremont & Bill Sink

>somehow the Magik solo is one of the few FtA successes and sells decently

how?! is it just coomers wanting the covers?

>>149328292
It's the most white bitch karen plot ever made. The horror movie is literally just another revenge slasher like I Spit on Your Grave, They/Them, or even the Blackening. When even real minorities know not to act like a shlock-slasher is a second holocaust, it makes the X-Men as a whole look chronically online 30 year old twitshits.

It's time.

>Every so often, a pivotal moment occurs that radically transforms the Marvel Universe, diverting its destiny towards strange timelines and dark futures. This October, in honor of the 30th anniversary of one of the greatest of those aforementioned sagas, "Age of Apocalypse," behold the AGE OF REVELATION, a startling new X-Men event that sees the world reborn in the image of the heir to Apocalypse: Doug Ramsey, A.K.A. Revelation.

>AGE OF REVELATION takes current X-Men storytelling 10 years into the future. After being welcomed onto Cyclops' X-Men with open arms, Revelation set out on the impossible task that Apocalypse entrusted him with: creating a world where only the fittest survived. With his linguistic mutant power amplified to an astonishing new level, Doug commands Earth itself with his voice, reshaping it as a utopian haven for mutantkind. It's a mutant homeland built on an insidious lie, spreading across the planet and wiping out humanity until it becomes a mutant homeworld!

>THE HEIR RISES – THE RESISTANCE IGNITES! X YEARS FROM TODAY the Revelation Territories stretch from the Atlantic to the Mississippi – a mutant utopia ruled by the heir of Apocalypse. But beneath the surface, rebellion brews. As a ragtag X-Men team strikes from the shadows, Revelation faces threats from within. It all begins here – the dawn of the AGE OF REVELATION!

>On October 1, AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE #1 by MacKay and Stegman serves as a foundational alpha issue for this new era, which overtakes the current X-Men line for the foreseeable future with series evolutions like AMAZING X-MEN, UNBREAKABLE X-MEN, and EXPATRIATE X-MEN, and also impacts the wider Marvel Universe with launches such as RADIOACTIVE SPIDER-MAN, X-VENGERS, and IRON AND FROST. The full scope of AGE OF REVELATION titles is unveiled today, with official series announcements to come next week.

>On being the architect behind the latest X-Men milestone, MacKay said, "Enter... the Age of Revelation! I'm extremely excited to be at the center of this event — we're traveling to the alien future of the Age of Revelation, where the stories unfolding in the Revelation Territories and beyond will decide whether this is the dawn of a new world, or the end of one. We've been exploring a whole world, and it's been really exciting to see other creators make corners of it their own!"

>Inquire at your local comic shop today regarding the availability of X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION #0. Check out both X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION #0 covers along with the cover of X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION OVERTURE #1 and logos for the new AGE OF REVELATION-set series that will be announced next week!

Oh dear that's a lot of tie-ins to cover.

>>149325838
>Using pet names
Calico and jitter are cute for lesbians

>>149328579
>Iron & Frost
That probably explains why the current Iron Man book is ending this month
surprised by the amount of non X-men tie-in to this

>>149328579
>IRON AND FROST
Tony/Emma bros we are so back

>>149328579

its all so tiresome

>>149325825
>Blade

>Magik
I'd read that Midnight Sons book.

>>149328571
Lmao, Glob with a shotgun ?

>>149328579
>TWELVE GODDAMN TIE-INS

Most of those better be one-shots. We all know Jason Loo and Erica Schultz will be all over this.

Top row is probably Adjetiveless, Uncanny, Exceptional and Wolverine. Laura's book will at least continue to October. X-Vengers is probably just McKay tying in his Avengers book.

The rest... woof

>>149328579
This reminds me, when was the last time we saw Longshot?

>>149329176
During x-factor krakoa where he begged them to take him away from mojo but they said fuck off you aren't a mutant

The terrigen thing is probably just simone really wanting to tell that joke But I'd honestly prefer her to be an Inhuman or non mutant. Self hating mutant thing just feels like a more extreme version of Calico's arc.

>>149325878
> but you are **** well about to be
do they censor out "damn" now? or is Calico dropping f-bombs?

>>149329164
tbf this does seem to be replacing the mainline books at the time, so I think only half the tie-in themselves will be new books, the rest of them are just replacing the original titles for a month or two

Mutina's design is good

>>149328579
>still pushing Emma and Tony shit

>>149328579
Didn't "From The Ashes" already prove that the current X-Office can't sustain this many X-Men titles?

>>149327691
See Also: The Scream franchise giving the queer-coded killer Billy Loomis a daughter and making her the protagonist of the last two movies

>>149328292
Makes me think of that one mission in WATCH DOGS 2 where you attack a movie studio for the crime of making a cringe movie about hackers

>>149325851
>Hotoru: Id rather watch kinnikuman's movie.

Tony and Emma are dimes, in fact the biggest dimes Marvel had in years.

Shut up, they will appear in an x-event, so they are

Educated guess: after the event, every x-book will be restarted with #1

>>149331873
So is Spider-Man is he a mutant

>>149332071
Well, it's RADIOACTIVE spider-man, and frankly, there are so many spider-people, that it can be one of them, it doesn't even have to be Peter Parker. It can be Miles harr harr harr

>>149328577
>>149328571
Not a fan of Wolverine, it's just him in rags. The mask should just be his skin pulled back to reveal his adamantium skull

>>149328577
Glob looking amazeballs

>>149332785
Oh yeah, I just caught that storytime before it fell off the page. That book really, really needed to be something much more if it was going to set up an actually interesting status quo for the Strange. It was a filler arc of OWUD that was so disconnected I couldn't blame anybody about forgetting about it if they were reading it.

>>149332953
He's a Sorcerer Supreme

He should be able to teleport from any of the 10 realms

Hell he should be able to get to the Dark Dimension and then call his wife for a ride

>>149325811
Surely you've seen muxploitation films before.

>>149333022
>Glob
>a Sorcerer Supreme
Uh, spoilers?

>>149329176
I think he was in the hellfire remember thing and the swimsuit story

>>149330256
Killing off Hap so they could vaguely align with the movie plans later on for a bit was a mistake.

>>149333437
She really went missing when orchis began and it is quite hinted that she was killed offscreen by feilong.

>>149330256
Pepper was never really a Tony love interest to begin with. If you asked me for my top Iron Man love interests in the comics I don't think Pepper would crack top 5 even. Their relationship was always weird

>>149332172
Miles spider was a genetically altered spider thoughever

>>149333022
He isn't sorcerer supreme anymore thoughabit

>>149333695
Yggdrasil just named Strange theSorcerer Supreme of Asgard

And even if he wasn't, he should still have a ton of mystical knowledge and know how to open a damn portal
There are kids who learn magic from google who can open portals

>>149333641
yeah but MCU happened, but since everyone royally hated dimeless paltrow, she is gone.

>>149333682
That wasn't the joke. The joke was that Miles is toxic

Wow Gail really wrote a stinker here

>>149325912
Mutina VS Manslaughter. Most people don't know who the fuck that is, and one of the few that do thought he was dead.

>>149325859
>show us at our worst
OK this argument work when you're using a slasher villain as bad representation as a example, the slasher is usually the one that gets all the fan and like here >>149325845 it even shows that the movie was mainly killing off bullies, she would have more mutant fans calling her iconic irl

The way this argument would work is if it was against a news media selecting only anti-mutant stories to report on

>>149329534
I can't imagine going through life with such shit taste.

>>149328579
Carol's daughterfu finally getting that Phoenix force payoff?
>>149331490
Going theory is that it's a Betsy (cloak) and Kwannon (dagger) team-up

>>149325825
When did Damion stop being bald?

>>149334343
That's a shitty theory. They literally used C&D logo. It means that C&D will appear + some x-men, Age of Revelation will probably be wider than AoA considering there is also Radioactive Spider-Man and Avengers

>>149325591 (OP)
Hey [X]? Just wondering if you still eventually post the X-Men infinity comics.

>>149334381
He goes back and forth.

>>149325825
I feel like this would have worked better if it had actually been seeded properly. Like literally take one page every few issues to set it up, have people talk about the upcoming movie, press clippings, etc. and THEN you do this issue. you don't just have the whole thing materialize fully formed out of the aether, that's just flat out retarded and poor storytelling. Shooter is rolling over in his grave.

>>149325838
Deathdream is so fucking unbelievably cringe. Gail is trying way too hard with him.

>>149325841
>>149325845
I liked her better when she was called Pumpkin Night.

>>149327796
This whole issue is like reading someone's xitter posts about bigotry and cooning. There's no flow at all to story, it's just a series of things that happen that are only tenuously connected and everyone acts like they're completely fucking deranged but not in a way that's fun to read.

>>149325873
>>149325878
This might be the dumbest sequence in an already very dumb issue. The guy is trying to connect with Jitter, basically admitting he was wrong and even opening up with some of his own vulnerabilities so he's clearly trying to make amends. And here comes Calico with a fucking flaming horse screaming like a retard which, okay, she IS retard and you'd assume Jitter would try and tell her "no wait, chill, it's not what you think" but instead she's just gushing over how this makes her love Calico even more? And then it just smash cuts outside so we don't even get any pay off.

>>149328402
Yes, Magik is a terrible character but gooners love her.

>>149335192
yeah but he also got to dance with Psylocke tho

>>149335767
Fake Psylocke

>>149335318
Pumpkin Night is already referencing that genre of movie, so I'm not sure what the point calling it that specifically is.

>>149335828
you mean Kwannon or Betsy cause i'm still confused on who's who at the moment.

Next issue: Magik marries me

>>149328402
>is it just coomers wanting the covers?
Reminder that magik was just as irrelevant as the rest of the new mutants until she got a sexy redesign and suddenly she is as much of a main stay as the O5

>>149325908
So is it just she disappears into shadows which makes her like a 1% power version of Nightcrawler, or something cooler?

>>149336926
Nobody knows because this entire issue feels like it was cobbled together from a fever dream. She implies her powers are shadow related but then suddenly Jitter's like "SHE CAN READ MINDS!?" which means they're not except maybe she has two separate types of powers for some fucking reason, who knows? Nothing about this issue is written sensibly.

>>149337160
Maybe she is missing the part of her face that is shadowed out, so she uses different senses which can both interpret brainwaves and detect things in shadows.

>>149336479
Kwannon, the body swap is no more and will never happen again

>>149337160
>she has two separate types of powers for some fucking reason
Not unusual for a mutant. How many powers do Gambit/Wolverine/Nightcrawler or even Deathdream or Calico have? Exactly.

>>149334217
My best guess is that she's trying for some kind of "anti-role model" thing that'll both piss off anti-muties and also inspire muties to emulate Mutina by, like, killing people who they think deserve it or something.

>>149338331
Huh.Both the cover to #18 and that variant shows her eyes, but the mask in the story covers her entire face. Wonder if that means she is getting a different one, or is just a design change for final product.

>>149337160
The issue should have been
>Some bullshit either magic or mutant pulls the mutant slasher villain from the movie and unleashes her on the town ruining the X-kiddies time out
Seriously Simone's book writes itself and she somehow keeps fucking up these easy layups

My prediction is that she gets outed as an actual mutant which kills her main goal of making money, her distributor tries to bilk her so she kills them, and then she gradually falls into generic villainy to the point she is roster filler for a future Brotherhood of Evil Mutants that exits for like 6 pages in a story written in 2030.

But seriously, Gail.
It's not that hard to make a story about a sexy slasher.

>>149339342
She's waiting until she can make a Mutilate pun.

>>149331570
They did in the 1990’s , they’ll do it again and Dr Nemesis is a liar who wanted to limit the number of new residents on Utopia , also its canon in their 1990s series that what should have been their natural mutant powers were secretly magickally switched/reversed by Despayre so they would be his living mana batteries

>>149338962
If they were going to , they won’t now that youve figured it out and posted it online

>>149334423
He's probably waiting for the next quiet release week to dump the available rips at once
