I ne...Nobody respects leadership rings these days! I never understood the Upstarts either as a kid or adult. Nor did I understand Gamemaster. Did any of this become of anything? I know Fabian Cortez tries to kill Magneto for the Upstarts and I think Siena Blaze was one, but what was the point? You win and become leader of the Upstarts and then what? You get to eat a very nice array of cheeses while wearing a vibranium crown?PeterCSMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-53762536871626271712007-09-20T04:36:00.000-04:002007-09-20T04:36:00.000-04:00Y'know, I don't think I've ever read UXM #283. I ...Y'know, I don't think I've ever read UXM #283. I know I have the issue somewhere, I just could never stomach enough energy to read a conclusion to #282. I can stand #281 because it's a landmark issue and it has an interesting set up (along with some wild, non-sensical energy), but anything after than until the 300's gets progressively more confused.<BR/><BR/>In fact, both UNCANNY and X-MEN somehow managed to hit their all-time sensical lows at exactly the same time. Does ANYTHING in the Spring of 1992 in the core titles of Marvel's cash cow make even the slightest bit of sense? Yeah, Liefeld's X-FORCE was terrible and some of the post-Onslaught stuff was hardly worth printing, but nothing the X-books have ever done is as shoddily written as these issues of UNCANNY and X-MEN.<BR/><BR/>And boy, does all that "Bishop's alternate future" hysteria look embarassing these days? Remember when fans clamored for the return of Malcolm and/or Randall? When the Gambit/Witness/Bishop thing was basically the only story X-MEN was telling for a year or two? When the X-Traitor mystery drove us nuts? When Bishop's sister's holgraphic-image-from-the-future became a member of X-Factor? When UXM #282-283 were 100 bucks if you could find them? I can't even remember what we were all so excited about anymore...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
