It was no more complicated than that because Astonishing X-Men wasn't really all that good. Colossus is the Juggernaut now, bitch, because when Juggs was attacking with his power plus the Serpent's in Fear Itself, Cyke sent Ilyana and Peter to tell Cain Marko's original boss he was moonlighting. Ilyana was supposed to take the power but instead noble yet incredibly stupid Peter decided it was wrong for a fully trained demon sorcerer to have to take on the mantle of something she could handle easily and became Cyttorak's avatar instead...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-79381108485030499632012-07-27T00:01:23.908+01:002012-07-27T00:01:23.908+01:00I dunno, I'm rubbish at lists.

Surely there could have been another way into the story. I hope that, as teased, Professor X does have a big part to play in this story because he's so important to the history of Marvel's Merry (hah) Mutants. And I'm sick of seeing a good man painted in ever murkier shades of grey.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-74465338467821026672012-07-26T23:21:15.942+01:002012-07-26T23:21:15.942+01:00It varies, I think they all have something to offe...It varies, I think they all have something to offer.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-75348261825527344582012-07-26T20:19:32.206+01:002012-07-26T20:19:32.206+01:00Merciful Minerva is this relationship between Colo...Merciful Minerva is this relationship between Colossus and Kitty still going on?!?

I'd be less critical of the X-Men if they weren't made to look so obviously villainous and wrong, that it's not even funny. They don;t even have a credible argument to stand on, as the the whole Phoenix Entity has always been an force of death and destruction than hope and renewal. Are we made to believe that the future of mutants is so dire, that they'd turn to any port in a storm, namely the Phoenix? Really? Even after all years of experience that clearly demonstrates anytime the Phoenix shows up it's not good? And they(Cyclops really) still thing it's a symbol of salvation. Amazing. I can only imagine how massively disappointed Prof. X feels about his former students and how far they've fallen. Hopefully the X-Men(or what's left of them) will be built back up again, and restored to their former glory.<br /><br />It just baffles me as an X-Men fan for a long time, that the current crop of fans are letting this go without a serious amount of verbal anger and backlash. Sheep I tell you.<br /><br />I too hope when all this is said and done that Colossus is restored back to his old self, and that him and Kitty and move past this this unfortunate occurrence. I'm not saying they should get back together, just that they can reconcile this whole horrific story-telling debacle, and get back to a solid, more friendly place.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-10389707318685965682012-07-26T16:13:51.795+01:002012-07-26T16:13:51.795+01:00Hey mart who are your favourite character on this ...Hey mart who are your favourite character on this book, I love quire, broo, idie, kid gladiator, genesis, and most of all beastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-40259708399836587002012-07-26T10:31:15.001+01:002012-07-26T10:31:15.001+01:00Aye, it was a cracker.Aye, it was a cracker.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-67229637543081886282012-07-26T10:30:50.416+01:002012-07-26T10:30:50.416+01:00Hi Steve, they really have gone the predictable ro...Hi Steve, they really have gone the predictable route in terms of the main business - it'd have made more sense, perhaps, for the Phoenix Force to inhabit members of both teams, bringing the X-Men and Avengers together to take them on, and set things up for the joint-team aftermath .Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-24458608870549110242012-07-26T05:38:57.042+01:002012-07-26T05:38:57.042+01:00I wonder what you thought of issue 13 with warbird...I wonder what you thought of issue 13 with warbird mart, I thought it was incredible goodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-23057418135210773492012-07-26T04:32:55.740+01:002012-07-26T04:32:55.740+01:00Wow, this is your first review I vehemently disagr...Wow, this is your first review I vehemently disagree on. I've thought this book has suffered worst of any from tie ins and that this is the worst example yet. The art was barely average and the ongoing character assassination of X-Men continues full throttle. I went into AVX believing that a company that couldn't imagine a married Peter Parker could imagine the X-Men winning and it's worse than that. This 'power corrupts' trope is sandbagging the X-Men and Marvel Now will have to be hella good to get rid of the awful taste of issues like this have left...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
