odessasteps Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Was thinking today about the Latverian national futbol team. What formation do they play? Would even Dr. Doom hire JoseMourinho as his coach? Is he pro or anti using his team for sportswashing? Would he ever bid to host the World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Doom wanted to host the World Cup, he would seize the right to do so by force. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 But thinking about it further, why would he want to? For the prestige of the World Cup is as nothing compared to the CUP OF DOOM - which only DOOM may bestow! So let the greatest footballers make their way to Latveria to test their mettle - IF THEY DARE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's a joke specifically about Brazil's team, I'm afraid I don't know enough about soccer to get it. But yes, the top human team probably has to play a team of Doombots for the Cup.

odessasteps Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 No, it was a random "good international team". Could have been Argrntina or England or Mexico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Ultimate X-Men came out. Safe to say Armor is the main character, instead of having the usual Cyclops or Wolverine. It's very different from standard X-men of old comics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 June's X-Men 35/ Uncanny X-Men 700 is the final issue for the Krakoa Age https://aiptcomics.com/2024/03/06/x-men-35-farewell-krakoa-age Chris Claremont returns for the final issue. The saga would faired better if Hickman stayed during the run, but oh well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 There's an alternate universe where Hickman was allowed to do the whole Krakoan saga as one book, in the same kind of form and feel as HoX/PoX. I think that probably would have rocked. But at the same time, I wouldn't have got Al Ewing or Kieron Gillen's stuff in there so it all works out in the end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I forget who called Sabretooth's two minis unnecessary but i absolutely disagree. Hellions was my favorite of the first wave Krakoa books and those minis were a solid followup. Much like MTMTE/Lost Light was my favorite part of IDW Transformers, I think there's always room to be had for a story about the characters who can't or won't fit in with the group trying to build and maintain a whole new society, especially when the society has such distressing vibes from the outside looking in. Exiles wasn't as good as the first mini, but I loved them both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I really like Weapon X-Men. The new Onslaught of earth 696 is Jean Grey and Magneto combination creation instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLSigman Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 OK, so I read the Hellfire Gala Fall of X and holy shit they pulled no punches, didn't they? They remembered what Magneto said as he was dying. (Panel from X-Men Red ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Kurt Busiek on blue sky Quote Got a digital royalty report from Marvel today. FIFTY-NINE pages of individual payment listings. Less than $325 in actual payments. Multiple royalties of .01. Still, happy to get it and even small amounts add up. Beats a poke in the eye with a tuna sandwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I have doubts about if they reset the timeline for X-Men. They might just simply move on. With whatever the new gimmick is of course. Anyway in Dead X-Men issue 3, more of Moira's previous lives were shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone asked if it was annual and he said “not remotely” there weren’t too many other posts, since it may have gotten swallowed by all the SCOTUS posts/replies he was making later in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonzombie Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 They revealed the new 3 main X-Men titles Spoiler Beast is back to his 90's look. Cyclops looks young. Magneto is in a wheelchair. 3 teams across America. The trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuyyM-Jlkas More info here https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?170915-From-the-Ashes-Trailer-from-Marvel/page7 Additional books https://twitter.com/laughing_place/status/1768368581882896399 Less team books and more solos. Some of the team named books are probably solo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The creative teams for the three announced "Core" books are all different flavours of good, even if I'm concerned about Jed McKay overreaching with how many big titles he's running right now. Also the titles for the teased second wave are all interesting, so that's something. Cyclops looks like teen Cyclops again which is...curious. Wondering if that's an artistic choice or if something's going to happen. Apparently part of the bit is that they're going to be recovering from the end of the Krakoan Era, with no centralized location or team, which is part of why there's three X-Men teams...they're all grouping independently of one another. I imagine it's tough to speak to all that much without spoiling the heck out of what they're currently doing, but they've definitely got my curiousity. If nothing else, getting Gail Simone back on a monthly book is a huge win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Sounds like that period after Mutant Massacre where you had the X-Men, New Mutants and X-Force running around rarely crossing paths despite having huge events across their line James Edited March 15 by J.H. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I’d not a Gail devotee, but I think she’ll be an interesting person to have writing an X book. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
