Yeah that’s a lot of Logan.

Is x-23 hated?

What? No, I don’t know anyone that dislikes her really, well now at least.

Recently I read Fred Van Lente’s run on Wolverine First Class. Nothing mind blowing but nothing terrible either. You might want to look into those. Lots of fun Wolverine and Kitty Pryde stories.

Sooner or later I’ll start on PAD’s run on Wolverine First Class. Which I’ll probably like by default because it’s PAD.

Recently got Bendis’ entire Moon Knight run. One key thing keeps coming to mind, why were people not reading this!

Agreed! I had been following it since it’s release and was honestly on the verge of dropping it half way in but decided to stick with it and I’ve got to say that the twist was it’s redeeming factor as it proved that Moon Knight was that far out there.

I’m sad they’ve cancelled it but hopefully he’ll continue his roll as a Secret Avenger or at the least get his own run again soon.

Because fuck Bendis that’s why.

I will bear this cross for all of us. My cup overflows with haterade, and I am more than willing to hate X-23, that lousy female teenaged clone of Wolverine.

What a stupid character. Weren’t we just talking about how lame all these female versions of existing male superheroes are? She’s the posterchild/clone. Who the heck wants a little girl version of Wolverine… Probably the same people who thought it would be cool to make Wolverine a sickly, wussy little Canadian boy who cried when his puppy died.

I hate X-23.

You go girl.

Preach on sister! I was going to include that in my list of female copies of characters but I figured people actually liked her so I left her out, but I agree.

It’s not that I really like X-23, I like Marjorie Liu’s use of X-23 truth be told.

The only reason I even picked up the first issue was because it came out the same week X-23 was announced for MvC3. Usual Capcom fanboy reasons lol!

Still glad I did. Liu and Takeda made it worth the ride.

Before that every time I read the character it was pretty bad. That mini that told her origin story was terrible.

I have no interest in following X-23 over to Avengers Academy. I’m all for Marjorie taking on the chatacter again at some point.

I’m all for hating a writer when its neccesary (Millar, Loeb) but Moon Knight was actually good.

Bendis has written a ton of good comics, and quite a few legitimately great ones. I don’t know why AYO hates him, just like I don’t know why AYO thinks I’m a girl when he’s heard my voice.

Blame your XBLA headset. Also you getting on to me about biased hate? Lol, okay.

Well, part of being a successful hater is being able to properly denigrate the object of your hate. You have to at least be able to make a token attempt at explaining why you hate something, or at least attempt to mock it with a little cleverness. Just saying, “Fuck Bendis” or whatever is lazy.

Some of his New Avengers wasn’t that bad
Which?
His New Avengers run
Never heard of it
It’s by Brian Michael Bendis
Who?
Bendis
I thought you knew
Nope

Wait Brain Michael Bendis?
That’s right.
The guy who wrote Ultimate Spider-Man?
The same one.
The one who wrote the Illuminati mini series?
Yes THAT Bendis.
Isn’t he also the guy who wrote Siege and Secret Invasion?
…Uh huh…



So you mean Brian Michael Bendis?

After reading the Avebgers children crusade ( which I think sucks to be honest, but I still have two books left) I miss that savage wolverine.

I mean im glad to see wolverine grow like he has in wolverine and the xmen, but I hope to see him return to his “killer” roots on a team setting.

I am lazy, and I don’t have to explain anything to anyone here lol. Secret Invasion is a good enough turd to toss out I guess. I do enjoy New Avengers though.

Read Uncanny X-Force then DarkPhoenix, Wolverine and friends killing bitches.

Good haul this week for me.

Uncanny X-Force is a title I really want to get into but I also want to get into Avengers Academy. Has anyone read it and willing to give some spoiler free opinions?
I’ll be honest the only reason I’m even considering reading AA is because of Hollow AKA The real Penance but thus far I’m not really liking her new artwork and can find little info other than…she’s in Avengers academy.
