Posting this again, I guess!

Here's the list of classes from the Jean Grey school - from the back Wolverine and the X-Men #1.



Gambit teaching Sex Ed is the most perfect thing ever, and a sure sign that I would never, ever send my mutant daughter to the Jean Grey School.

I bought this today. The greatest thing about this panel is that Doop is actually playing a bass instead of guitar and yet he still won.

Link, just in case people haven't heard of Robert Johnson, or the movie this scene is taken from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads_%281986_film%29

After reading the issue, I just want an ongoing series named Doop & The Duck.

I winder if it played a role in getting Gambit his book, since it was the first time Gambit had been awesome in forever.

They should just add X-23 back into Gambit as his sidekick, like Hawkeye 2 is in Hawkeye.

Prior to the whole poo poo with the Joker, the main difference between mainstream DC and the Injustice world is that Luthor is a good guy. I'm not sure why they went for that, but there you have it.

It's because Superman is the villain. That's why Lex is a good guy. It's kind of an uninspired role reversal, but that's obviously why they did it.

Dude. I'm not saying they're not good. I'm saying I have no more room. This is a problem with me, not the books.

They put Bendis on the lead X-Men books and the first thing he did was pretty much go "Ok, all that needing to know 30 years of backstory poo poo? That's loving done." Yes, the teen X-Men from the 60's are running around, but the entire stance on continuity right now can be totally summed up by the panel posted a few pages back from the last issue of All New X-Men where Rachel "oh god the alternate universe paradoxes burn" Grey meets Teen Jean:

It might well have been, I don't know, but I tend to imagine most Spider-Man dialogue as though it's spoken by Christopher Daniel Barnes (Spidey's voice in the animated series) and when he does "angry" he sounds like this.

This and "The check's in the mail, baby!" are the two things I remember most about Spider-Man: TAS.

Empowered is really a fetish porn comic that also serves to satirize fetish porn comics. It's like "here's some examples of why this poo poo is creepy as hell but also let's make sure we embellish those examples thoroughly with lots of establishing shots of T&A."

I'd almost say that, rather than being satire, it's a fetish porn comic that is also very genre-aware. Which is a pretty neat trick, really, to be able to comment on the genre while still indulging in its worst excesses. It's a better book than most people will think upon first encountering it but I find anyone's decision to avoid it to be one hundred percent understandable.

So you're saying it's the Crank 2 of fetish comic books?

The only thing I remember from any of Raimi's movies is Maguires stupid "making GBS threads his pants while crying" face in all of them. 3 was the worst offender, but 2 had a ton of this as well, and 1 had quite a bit. The only time I didn't find Peter "emo" in Raimi's was when he was wearing the black suit and acting like a total dick and actually being you know...happy and fulfilled, going after things that he wanted. In ASM other than his angst over his uncle and parents Peter seems like a much happier, much more well balanced person than Raimi's weird, creepy stalker Peter who looked like Andy Samberg in the "jizz in my pants" video as he cried for several hours straight (hyperbole).

Heroic Roma/Gypsie/Traveller/ What about... The Nomad!

And was Claremont responsible for the quicksilver/Scarlet Witch hookup? Because they didn't even have the excuse of being not blood-relations...

That was only Ultimate Pietro and Wanda, and it was...well, Mark Millar implied it a lot, but then Jeph Loeb came out and yelled "THESE TWO ARE loving. THEY ARE BROTHER AND SISTER, AND THEY ARE loving. IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT IT YOU'RE A BIGOT," using the Wasp as his mouthpiece for this for some reason. There's literally a scene where Captain America realizes they are banging, and Wasp tells him that he needs to get with the times and stop being an old man, cause incest is the bees knees nowadays.

Incorrect. The MTV one was definitely the lowest effort and worst of them all.

You obviously haven't seen Ultimate Spider-Man if you think this. The MTV one looked like poo poo but at least it was watchable. USM is like if they combined the worst parts of Family Guy with...with I don't know what. loving terrible, though.

I think this is important to remember. The kids I know all love USM and are lukewarm on the other versions. I think it's important that Marvel actually produce superhero stuff for kids. If they don't like it they will go somewhere else, whereas we already have a ton of stuff for manchildren.

I thought Spectacular hit a really good balance of being appealing to both younger and older audiences. It was still for kids, but had stuff that older fans could appreciate as well, in a very Batman: TAS way. USM just seems like it's talking down to kids to me.

Except that it doesn't line up with the first issue if Tbolts at all.

They don't show Ross getting Frank out of jail, but it's an easy enough assumption to make. Deadpool also doesn't have a lady stuck in his head and isn't super depressed. Or maybe he does, I don't know, I dropped Tbolts after the first two issues.

I thought Dormammu was her father or something.

Earlier in the series he talks about how cool he thinks Dormammu is, and gets called a fanboy for it. Then in his fantasy he has Dormammu as his best man...but also still gets screwed over by him because the baby looks like Dormammu, meaning his fantasy wife slept with his fantasy best friend behind his back.
