I'm super excited to see where Hijack's subplot and the future of Cyclops' team goes. That doesn't seem like a team that will be happy going to the Jean Grey School and I think it's really a moment where Bendis could leave things in a really interesting place for whoever the next X-Men writer is.

I liked his first Cap run but I'll say it's basically 100% because of my love of John Romita Jr's pencils.

I have no problem discussing Uncanny Avengers, Deadly Class or any other book in this context. I have no problem discussing a book with you. We've had conversations in the past and while we've rarely seen eye to eye, I don't have an issue with your or your opinion.

For something like the fifth or sixth time today, we disagree about a comic book. I hope you can live with that. I know I can.

For the love of God, and to just end this argument that you apparently cannot move on from without knowing my opinion on:

I disagree with the very premise of your argument and I think you're projecting a lot of your opinions on a character in your seemingly all-consuming desire to have someone call him an "Uncle Tom." I'm not going to endlessly argue with you when we're both clearly entering the discussion with differing and nearly…

I don't think The Outfit came in the bundle so I might have to seek it out. That kind of thing sounds right up my alley.

I don't know if you're deliberately trying to misread everyone of my comments or what at this point.

I haven't read the novels. I remember when The Hunter received all sorts of positive press when it came out and it was neat to actually see that it was well deserved. I might try to read Slayground this weekend but I've got a whole bunch of other stuff to get through. I've heard the novels are even stronger than the…

No.

We're just going to have to agree to wildly disagree.

The books like New X-Men, X-Statix and X-Factor that really showed how mutants live outside of the context of the militarized X-Men structure have vastly been ignored for years and I think it just furthers the idea that mutants are either X-Men or villains and there is nothing else to do. In that context, yeah,…

I think the issue with the argument over mutant identity and whether or not it exists is mainly Marvel's fault. There are books that prominently show that mutant identity is real but those books are in the margin and almost never formally acknowledged. So rarely does Marvel actually acknowledge Mutant Town outside…

My problem with the criticism of Havok's speech has always been that most people's thoughts about the speech begin and end with what Havok says. The rest of that conversation keeps going throughout the entire book and actually deals with in-groups and out-groups as well as the consequences of mutant-separatism, mutant…

SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR UNCANNY AVENGERS
You're exactly right. By the end of his run, the team is broken and ruined and are all consumed by their own challenges and no longer are in any shape to fight for unity. Remender clearly believed mutant identity is important and must be valued even while he questioned the things…

You do know that a fictional character can have a different perspective than you do, particularly a fictional character who has had an extremely fractured relationship with her identity?

I think we're reading the Uncanny Avengers scene differently. Havok has always been interested in cooperation and finding the best solution in a bad situation. I've always read the speech a little as a performance. That issue is all about how difficult it is for the Unity Squad to present a united front for…

I totally understood people's anger over Havok's statements. I can understand someone saying that he was giving up his identity for peace with a race that doesn't want him and he's speaking for more people than he should. However, it's also Havok's opinion and pretty well in line with the way the character has been…

Sinestro Corps War is probably my favorite piece of Johns' Green Lantern run. So much fun.

That thing was the most Bendis-y piece of dialogue ever written. I guess you could interpret that as you will.
