MOTW 11/14/2012-You're wearing men's underwear underneath that snazzy skirt?

Wolverine ad the X-Men felt a little fillery, I had to say, but it wasn't a bad story and it did give Angel a bit more character time
I think that Aaron wants to continue with his regularly scheduled stuff but doesn't want to spoil the end of Remender's X-Force. Which is fine, you know, I'm happy with that. It's good when writers work together in order to make sure their work fits, especially when it's the two best X-books around.
As to his response on CBR, I've been on their board myself and there are a lot of people who have been on his ass for a long time and would probably do so with most writers. He's taken it in stride as best as he can and considering how long it's gone on I'd be willing to say he's got Jobe-like patience.
Hell, even if it had been more harsh it seems kind of hypocritical for fans to shit all over something but not be willing to take any kind of rebuttal.
I have not dug on this new angel very much but I'm hopefull that Aaron has some kind of long term plan for him.
That said, I kind of cant wait to see someone try to explain to young Warren in ANXM what happaned to him.
Scott - you became Magneto
Jean - you died
Hank - you mutated into a furry blue guy
Bobby - you are basically the same
Warren - you got turned into a merciless killing machine by a tyrannical mutant dictator and after finally killing him you took his place and were finally killed by the love of your life before having your body resurrected by the power of celestial space gods with no trace of your previous memories or personality.
"Scott, you're Magneto now. Also, you have a son who's older than you."
"Wait, what?"
"Oh yeah, you were also just the Phoenix."
"What's a Phoenix?"
"The same thing Jean was...before she died."
"So...I'm Jean?"
"Don't be stupid."
"I'm confused. I need to talk to Charles."
"You can't. You killed him."
edit: Then they get Doop to try to explain everything to them.
The best thing is that it's pretty much the only memorable thing Angel ever did other than have sex with a teenager in front of her mother
What
Well, it was under the pen of a certain Chuck Austen
and it was pretty fucking weird
Bad Solar, bad! *spritzes with a spray bottle*
Don't forget to add that they are all essentially mass-murderers (especially when you factor in alternative timelines), are STILL hated and feared by humanity, and have all died at least once...with the exception of Jean, who has had more deaths/resurrections than in a video game.
Don't get me wrong, I think the concept of the '60s X-Men showing up in the current status quo and thinking they've landed in a dystopian future is fascinating.
And I can't recall either Hank or Bobby being dead or committing mass murder.
I think jean has only actually "legit died" once?
"Ride or Die" confirmed Dominic Toretto, as they took off to find the Dragon Balls in hopes of reviving their friend Sonic
I am well aware that the jean who died on the moon was technically not the real Jean because the real one had been cocooned on the bottom of the ocean since uncanny x-men #101
But to be fair that is also an after the fact retcon.
