X-Men: Resisting Avengers Oppression For Five Decades

and personally, most of the time I really like it, but it is true that sometimes it seems like the action gets away from him and everything gets kind of confusing.
also Broo is great.
Hah! I wondered who the Manns were working on for this. Asmus working with them on a Gambit book sounds great, and I'm not even a Gambit fan.
The Mann brothers showed me and my wife some sketches and such that they were pitching at Marvel for this earlier in the year, and at that point didn't know the visual direction they were going to get to go with it. I really, really hope Marvel liked their ideas, because the sketches they had were pretty amazing looking.

In the page from Wolverine and the X-men? if so, that's a spawn of Krakoa the living island, it is a student! ( it is awesome)
edit: He is literally the land the school is built on, and considers itself their protector also.
I dislike the sloppy retconn, but bolded part is awesome enough that I find this more than acceptable.
Marvel may get some of my money again.
Steaaaaaaam
Hells yes. Remember when Gambit used to show up Wolverine all the time, and he was actually a cool character because of what he did, and not because the writer said so? This sounds like we're getting THAT Gambit again.
I remember enjoying the first Gambit book, and yes, he and Wolverine were a fun pair to watch sniping at each other.
"Bang, you dead."
He also wrote Astonishing X-Men #43, which was a good Emma/Danger issue, and he co-wrote a Captain America & Bucky story that I didn't read because it seemed to be filler during Fear Itself.
Not disagreeing with you on principle but I think A vs. X-men outsold the EftNZ crossover just a tiny bit, characterization by damned.
Course, we'll see how well future A vs. X-men issues will sell but with Wanda being the focus in the second half that should keep sales strong in theory.
One of my favourite Marvel characters right there
I have always been fond her her but like Black Widow I feel that she is somewhat lacking in distinction when it comes to her personality.
Hopefully she will be back in the Avengers where Wanda and Vision can have little robot wizard babies soon
This is true. Really Marvel should just hire me to redo all of their badly-used women. I will spark that interest!
like
when her mutant power was just altering probabilities, that works. Longshot does that too!
but when she is just straight up using magic? How is that a mutant power? Does that mean Dr. Strange is a mutant?
She is just in this weird no man's land between the X-Men and the rest of the Marvel U and it is annoying
Steaaaaaaam
Either she uses up all her magic to do it and thus only is a mutant now
or she depowers herself and is now an actual witch (why she became an actual witch in the first place is beyond me, but whatever)
I like the Scarlet Witch, Hope, Mystique, Black Widow, etc - and I will fight anyone over any one of them RAAAR solidarity.

Wanda was trained in magic by Agatha Harkness, a non-mutant witch that used to hang out with the Fantastic Four (she was Franklin's godmother and nanny for a long time.)
Agatha recognized that Wanda's powers touched on Chaos, which is part of magic (or, at least was, back during that point in the Marvel U. No idea now.) Agatha also realized that without training in Chaos, Wanda's powers could one day do something horribly catastrophic (like, ya know, wiping out all mutants.) So she trained her in real magic so that she could control it.
Of course, no one's seen Agatha Harkness in years in the Marvel U, so that could all have been retconned out.
Cooties got us Kitty's Brood. Cooties are real, and far more powerful than you can imagine.
Hmm, I hadn't heard that, so I wiki'd it ... I guess the "evil" Agatha was the Ultimates version? No clue
And I guess in the 616 universe, Wanda killed Agatha in Avengers Disassembled, which came out while I was on my comics hiatus so I missed that.
I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit
I'm probably misremembering some old Bronze Age plot, it had Starfox in it and everything.
