I think I agreed with everyth...Perfectly put, Cap. I think I agreed with everything you had to say here. <br /><br />The dialogue in this comic was just completely spot on. That line that you mentioned, I think Wolvie also mentioned that he'd done all of Scott's dirty work and never complained, and the Jean line also went to show just how complex/deep Wolvie and Scott's relationship is.<br /><br />Ahhhh Civil War... You make a good point on that story too. I also sided with Cap right from the start of that event, and could never really see/understand Iron Man's side. IM just came across as a facist asshole who'd happily sell out his friends for some power. I know that's NOT what IM was fighting for, but that's how it seemed to me as a fan of both Cap and IM. Civil War actually caused me to stop reading IM comics for about 3-4 years before I started up again recently. But yeah, I loved Civil War up until like issue 5 or 6 which is when it dawned on me, there's NO way this story can end favorably for Cap... Then add the ending, which was completely asinine, and yeah, that series really fell apart towards the end after such promise.<br /><br />I don't see how Aaron's lost sight of the purpose of this mini... The purpose, to my knowledge, was to split the X-Men into two different factions, Wolvie's side and Scott's side. This issue perfectly moved that forward. After this issue, you can see why those two characters can't work together any more.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-64564121397677800692011-09-25T06:39:46.751-04:002011-09-25T06:39:46.751-04:00I too loved this issue. NO mini hellfire club, jus...I too loved this issue. NO mini hellfire club, just old school x-men talking it out like men. My favorite line? "Scott you know I will stay by your side and fight this damn thing to the very end, but not with these children still here." Or something like that lol. I don't want to go longbox diving and look for it. I loved that line because it showed that wolverine isn't disagreeing just to disagree. Cyclops unfortunatley is NOT written as strongly and hasn't been in a long time in my opinion. He DOES seem to hold to this dicattor type mentality and its hard NOT to dislike and stand against him. <br />-Alan davis back on a art was a REAL treat for us fans! I wish the sentinel had been a bit more menacing but i love the doctor's dialogue towards it either way.<br />-My BIGGEST complaint stems from ALL fors of writing and storytelling )most recently civil war). I was on cap's side through civil war because well HE IS CAP! hands down my favorite character. But civil war had SUCH potential and still ended up being decent. However they bit the bullet with the writing of iron man. Just like with cyclops in this mini-series it is too easy to hate him. I WANT a comic or event where I am seriously weighing my options on which side i'm on and who i agree with. After all, we are all unique individuals that would react differently in any given situation. Wouldn't it be awesome to pick up a comic and say... "man I am torn!" A great story gets you involved and while i enjoy this series and civil war its be nice to see a book where we could say "well i can see why people agre with him, but i personally agree with..." and state exactly why. Again, I am just a passionate fan and i love reading the storyline regardless.<br /><br />-I've read a few other reviews on this book that said that the event is losing sight of its purpose. SOme believe that the x-men are supposed to face this crazy threat that is going to change the world blah blah blah. No, sorry. This event is about 2 friends that opinions have almost always differed; finally coming to a head. The Jean line is complete proof of this. I know the mini club will return in issue 5, and as for kade, and quire I hope they stick around for the 8 billion other x-titles coming out, but this event is about the last 6 pages of this comic book. Nothing else.cap von trappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-52267148442367085792011-09-24T12:39:56.646-04:002011-09-24T12:39:56.646-04:00My favorite line of that whole thing?

It's true, Jermox... So far this week ha...HA! It's true, Jermox... So far this week has been fantastic, but I did expect that when I saw the books I was picking up. There were a good 10-14 or so comics that I'd say I was either really looking forward to or at least quite interested in reading. Now, the real test will be over the weekend as I start to read that second tier of comics, the ones I didn't have such high expectations for... And I see the three of us are in agreement over Scott throwing Jean in Wolvie's face. I mean that just came out of NO where! Just another in a long string of jackass moves Lord Summers has made as of late.<br /><br />Agreed, AVS. I'm hoping Utopia gets destroyed and we get the X-Men as I, and I'd think most fans want them, back to basics, not living in the open, and helping a world that fears and hates them. I've seriously had enough of Utopia!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-30355597501927574842011-09-23T05:51:10.295-04:002011-09-23T05:51:10.295-04:00aaah finally!! something of the x men that i recog...aaah finally!! something of the x men that i recognise.... you know all this utopia rubbish and all is fine, but it is nice to see a glimpse of the old x men once more.AVShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341538975386544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-66098212666288818932011-09-23T05:19:14.951-04:002011-09-23T05:19:14.951-04:00The 8.5's and 9.5's aren't fooling any...The 8.5's and 9.5's aren't fooling anybody, you basically are still giving 9's to everything.
