Good thing I pre-ordered the War of Kings omnibus when I did. I grabbed it for £61.75 on Amazon months ago, they're now selling it for £100. :lol:

I've just discovered the Spider-Man rock opera album from the 70's it's incredible



Best song I've heard all year

I've pretty much given up any hope of buying Marvel's omnibuses, the artificial scarcity and pricing is awful

Yeah I can't be strawberry floated with them any more. If you don't preorder on Amazon then the price can almost double when it's actually released, then it goes out of stock forever about two weeks later because Marvel only made a stupidly small number and they never do second print runs apart from a tiny handful of titles like Alias (which doubled in price and quickly sold out)

Speaking of Alias, Jessica Jones #1 - Bendis has split up Luke and Jessica and their baby has gone missing. No thank you. Dropped.

Dear god Marvel is such a strawberry float up with X-men/Inhumans atm

I had very low expectations for the the who "What Scott did"/"Death of X" thing but this plummed new lows of stupidity

So a) real Cyclops dies of a migraine ages ago.

b) Fake Cyclops projected by Emma turns one of the Terrigen mist clouds into a harmless gas.
Inhuman's get mad at this and execute him.
World loves Inhumans?
Cyclops gets remembers as one of the worst criminals in history?


Their "designated villain" gooseberry fool with Scott just reached new levels of galling...

He's been dead since DoX #1 when he came into contact with the cloud and collapsed

Everything since then (including the villianous act of stopping a poisonous cloud :P) has been Emma trying to make sure his death had meaning.

Death of X #4- I don't know what this is.

So why does the world hate Cyclops then? So much so that he's being called Hitler in Champions?

By the end of Bendis' run he was loved. By the end of Death of X the world thinks he was murdered by Black Bolt after neutralizing a cloud of toxic gas.


This book was a mess and Cyclops was right. The one thing I've learned from this is that the Inhuman Royal Family are psychopaths.

Slott said in an interview that The Jackal has been Reilly since Spider-Island. Not sure that works.

Depends. He's certainly the antagonist - but not sure he's done a great deal of direct villainy.

Not in Clone Conspiracy but he was definitely a villain in Spider-Island.

Yeah but I don't think that was him :P

I love this article on why the Inhumans suck

https://comicsverse.com/problem-inhumans-vs-x-men/

Not buying (or pirating :P) these comics atm, but will watch IvX with interest/expecting a huge car crash

Dan Slott claimed in an interview that Reilly was the Jackal in Spider-Island.


Back around to another question from Marvel.com: If Ben Reilly is the Jackal, where’s Miles Warren? “We’ve seen like 20 Miles Warrens,” Slott said. “All of his lackeys are Miles Warren. Right now, we’ve had the Jackal, and it’s been this way since Spider-Island,’ whenever we see him, he’s been waited on hand and foot by Miles Warren clones — and now we know that was Ben Reilly! What is going on!”

They should have just strawberry floated the X-Men off into their own separate continuity after Secret Wars. Bored of them now and it would hopefully stop the whiny banana split fans moaning about how poorly they are being treated and how Marvel are favouring the Inhumans when theres about 7 or 8 new X-Books coming out :lol:

The relaunch next year sounds absolute shite too. One of the main books again being all about the young time-displaced X-Men that no one cares about, and the other being a more traditional X-Men one but with Kitty Pryde being the leader when strawberry floating Storm is on the team(?). It was funny reading an interview with one of the writers going on about the usual prejudice and racism the teams face when both books are incredibly white with Storm being the only non-white character between the two main books.

That Weapon X book from Greg Pak that's basically just X-Force sounds interesting but Greg Land is on art and I immediately lost interest.
