It bothers me that that Cyclops is well under 6 feet.

None them would quite tackle an idea like this. One of the themes of Ewing's team books is being socially progressive. A cast made up of two African-Americans, an African, and a dark skinned Puerto Rican are tackling a systemic problem (albeit one unique to the Marvel universe) with a potentially creative solution. …

I'm with you. Part of it had to do with how they've handled the X-Men over the last decade, which is what got me into comics. A larger factor is general inconsistency in terms of their creative output. It's rare that they let any creative tell a full story and they're so entrenched in the monthly schedule that…

I also think anything involving infant Superman and Krypton is incredibly boring, and have yet to see anything to change that opinion. Also, I'd like to give audiences the benefit of the doubt the understand his origin inherently in pop culture sense the same way with Batman and Spider-Man.

*Replaced with Reaganomics Guy Gardner but played totally straight*

The only proper Justice Leaguers are Justice League Antarctica.

Which means we might get a cameo from the Big Red Cheese himself?

Something that I find really strange is, the way he covered the backstory in Watchmen through the credits would have been a perfect way to deal with Superman's entire origin, instead of making the audience sit through another retelling.

I read this at first as "Gotham" by Gaslight Batman, like a Batman that just goes around terrorizing average citizens but because he does this, convinces them that they're criminals.

Of course he hasn't been a part of the show since season 1.

Oh yeah, the general direction didn't start with Bendis and it really started down the path annoyingly with Schism, but even Gillen painted him as a character that everyone who viewed themselves in opposition of Cyclops (and I do think that's an important distinction with the way Gillen wrote him, Cyclops didn't…

1. That's like 40+ issues.

I've ranted on here ad nauseum about the way Marvel has treated Cyclops. Every character talks about him as this crazed revolutionary (or some such) and yet there's absolutely no actual follow through on what characters think and say. It's pretty fucking infuriating from a narrative standpoint AND everything you…

The "issues" with Cyclops aren't really the problem. The more militant/protecting Cyclops is actually a good direction to take the character in (if they were actually trying to sell the X-Men surviving extinction). But the direction itself started with House of M and the actual problems began with AvX, all of which…

Everything that I've read about the Big Two's editorial for decades now just seems like a nightmare to work under/with and people just kind of stomached for years on end because they wanted to work in comics and there wasn't another alternative.

You might have to search for the interviews now, but when the number of mutants was limited to around 198, Quesada said multiple times that their intent was to bring mutants back to an actual minority.

Considering how people discriminate now on relatively contradictory and specious reasoning. this makes absolute sense to me.

I was mainly annoyed with that revelation because it involved the High Evolutionary, and including him in a story is rarely a good idea.

I feel like it's right to blame Bendis for Marvel's entire misunderstanding and mishandling of Cyclops over the last several years. When you read how he wrote Cyclops in Uncanny (and how his actions never lined up with what anyone else was saying about him) and then how Cyclops was written in AvX, it's hard not to…

I'm with you, X-Men (and Transformers) are what got me into comics so many years ago and I've always seen it as a series with numerous ever evolving possibilities steeped in relevant social metaphors. The series and its characters I still think about to this day (far more than I probably should). Which is why I…
