    When I was a kid I definitely thought Wolverine was called X-Man, because he was always making an X with his claws on the movie posters and those were the only X-Men things I'd seen

    My younger cousins had an X-Men game for NES and when I'd play it with them they would regularly fight over who got to be X-Man

    Oh Jesus I think I know that game and it was fucking terrible

    No wait, got it. An X-Book that was *only* downtime/interpersonal stuff mixed with an anthology of various xmen having Ferris Bueller's Day Off style adventures. No set cast. Has to have a baseball/basketball/dodgeball game every three issues at minimum.

    That's the X-Book for me

    So...a book that is a sports anime about the Krakoan Baseball League?

    I was gonna disagree, but that still holds true as blitzball is not a sport

    Was rewatching Endgame and noticed something in the beginning that made me wonder.
    When Nebula wins at paper football, she's almost baffled/stunned with emotion, and I remembered one of the few other pieces we've gotten about her, is that she never won against Gamora, could this have been her first "win"?

    Probably.

    Also Tony whiffed it so that she would win, to know what that felt like.

    I didn't realize they were all power analogs of some of the original x-men. That's a neat idea.

    The new Gambit looks too cool to have picked dirtbag Gambit as an analog.

    New Werewolf by Night miniseries, co-written by Ben Jackendoff and Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas

    Mh2eUg6l.jpg

    https://comicbook.com/marvel/2020/01/20/marvel-werewolf-by-night-series-2020-taboo-black-eyed-peas/
    Together, they’ve worked to tie the concept of Werewolf by Night to Native American mythology and storytelling. The series sees a new, young werewolf emerge. The hero Red Wolf is tasked with tracking the werewolf and bringing him in. “I've always had a love and appreciation for the character Red Wolf,” Taboo tells ComicBook.com. “I actually did a cosplay becoming Red Wolf. I did an interview with Joe Quesada speaking on my love and appreciation for the first Native American superhero from the Marvel Universe, Red Wolf. And I always said, ‘Hey, if Red Wolf ever comes up, I would love to be a part of writing or co-writing anything that deals with Red Wolf.’

    “We're going through a Native lens because of my Native American heritage. I always liked storytelling from a native perspective. Although I was born in the city of Los Angeles, recently I've been really connected to the Indian country or to native communities to be able to be a service and help native youth, inspire them, especially when it comes to health and wellness, and arts and music. So we built our partnership knowing that when we create, we create through a native lens… We took all the proper precautions, like getting the right folks that represent Indian country. When it comes to native storytelling, there's a respect and an empathy for elders and folks from different tribes, nations, especially when you're telling a story. This story is personal for me because I am half Hopi, that's my tribe and the character is based on Hopi and the Hopi reservation. And for us, we always want to be respectful to native folks, especially when it comes to the Marvel Universe.”

    Yup. Named by his traveling companion, Dawn Greenwood, after she misunderstood the Surfer saying "To me, my board!"

    Also Mark Russell is writing the Captain America issue, which will be a retelling/examining of the famous Madbomb story.

    My second favourite thing about this (after the fact that it’s happening at all) is seeing all the comics pros in the replies who are super excited and happy for him.

    This is probably just me being sensitive to it, but them pointing out that it made a billion dollars feels like it's specifically to head off the shithead nerd comments about how nobody wants another Captain Marvel

    I thought that was more THR making fun of "extremely successful movie gets sequel greenlit"

    Is it not a legitimate stance to not want another generic, forgettable film?
