It's like, that could be Marvel's ultimate goal with some of these characters. Forget who they are, what their personality is, or what their history is, all you need to know is thier names and their powers! Go spend, fanboy, spend! <BR/><BR/>All kidding aside, this at least sounds more interesting than the Phalanx disaster.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-53625313146474798652008-06-17T10:53:00.000-04:002008-06-17T10:53:00.000-04:00That Comic Creators on the X-Men book is awesome a...That Comic Creators on the X-Men book is awesome and well worth the read; I discovered and read it a couple years ago (there's also similar volumes for the FF and Spider-Man, FYI).Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-1753893638072478612008-06-17T02:33:00.000-04:002008-06-17T02:33:00.000-04:00I agree that this is a great issue.

I commented before about how much I love the Magneto and Charles interaction in this issue and Kubert's art is really phenomenal (although I remember liking him throughout the whole run on the title). <BR/><BR/>On a minor tangent: X-Men comics from the 90s get such a bad rap, but as a kid I only bought Adjectiveless and managed to avoid having it lumped in with a lot of the crap around it. This leads me to wonder: if you only bought one or two titles and didn't read all the crappy ones, maybe you have a better opinion of the era. Like I said, I only bought X-Men and the titles it directly crossed over into and I was pretty happy for most of the time. Anybody care to let me know what they think? <BR/><BR/>One other note: for my birthday my girlfriend got me the book "Comic Creators on the X-Men" which features interviews with almost every X-Writer and artist up through Morrison. I can't wait to read it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-79433310798589683592008-06-16T23:06:00.000-04:002008-06-16T23:06:00.000-04:00This is a great issue.

I don't necessarily love the intrusion of the cosmic elements, but after all this time, I've accepted it and still love the whole story. And Andy Kubert does his usual great job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
