this era goes toe to toe, book for book with any era of x-men.

I was scared I just liked this era because its when I got in but no rereading EVERYTHING last year, book quality wise its my favourite era, Carey Legacy, Brubaker, fraction and gillen uncanny, liu x-23, KYLE AND YOST X-FORCE???? Swierczynski Cable, some really great wolverine work by Way, just great
Age of Apocalypse.
Blew my mind as a kid and is still my favorite X-Men crossover 30 years later.
I'm a certified event hater, but its this for me, its where I got into x-men, and in reading every book from the time all at once all the books coming out of it are so good!, the plots spinning out of this and leading up to AvX , which is on the opposite scale of events is probably my fav era.
looking forward to getting that Ram V run in hardcover for my birthday in June and giving it a read for the first time, now I have the weird Young adult AU swamp thing twin branches, where swamp thing is two twins going to college, I'm absolutely not the target audience for this but I will read it!
its very standalone! you can just read it if you know swamp thing's deal, I've been reading everything chronologically and the runs up until new 52 are very sequential after eachother, both new 52 runs are very different but kinda connected, and the stuff between n52 and ram v is very standalone
Very happy to report the little chunk of swamp thing Mark Russell wrote is excellent and exactly what you would want from Mark Russell and that character! some really fun anthology stories with a big connective throughline plot that links them all! #comics #comicsky #dc #swampthing
gotta pack up a load of old consoles and wires from this corner tv cabinet though and those drawers are dusty, spider filled and full of all kinds of ps3/4 wii, wii-u junk, think theres a vita tv in there too
Guy who just measured his room so he can get a new TV stand to vertical stand his ps5 to give it some air AND tetris move his bed so he can fit 3-4 tall Ikea Billy bookcases along the wall for his out of control comic omnibus habit, I'm so lucky I love building these things tbh or I'd be stressed
Dawn of x vol 2. X-Men krakoa omnibus
Mail day! gonna do a krakoa reread when I have most of what I want physically in a few years #comics #comicsky #xmen #krakoa
X-Men blue and gold omnibus+ dust jacket
here I am finally at the end of 16 years of Claremont X-Men, 3 adjectiveless issues to go! I'd only ever read up to brood saga way back when, so coming back and reading everything by everyone has been fun, it's pretty ok it turns out! it only defined everything I love about this comic.
and I was born in nineteen ninety three, I read those books as a kid, don't think I'm telling you to abandon some fandom I have never cared for, DROP THAT SHIT NOW! go read a better fucking book.
even pirating since tv shows track that too, remember when game of thrones was "the most pirated TV show"? don't fucking engage with anything harry potter!
I have high tolerance for seperating the art from the artist, Harry Potter is so cut and dry, I can SEE the money Rowling puts in to hate groups and lawsuits, its so far beyond "this writer has opinions I don't like"I can see the material detriment to UK trans rights, fuck anyone who gives her money
Yes, you ARE a bad person if you support Harry Potter.
Because you are directly funding something that harms a vulnerable group of people.
Hate groups. Legislation to make the lives of trans people harder. Trans people just trying to live in peace.
So boycott Harry Potter. It's that easy.
Absolute wonder woman also still special, these two have been my top 2 every month they drop since their first issue, they're so perfect
its been a month and I'd forgotten how special absolute martian manhunter was then I read #10 and I remembered! what a comic book!
After claremont I'm closing my 2016- krakoa gap, but if I need a palette cleanse x-factor investigations is gonna be up there for me I think
Just started Peter David's chunk of xfactor vol1 from 91 and the way it instantly grabbed me, I haven't read his other run on the book from the mid/late 2000s either, it might be time! a thing about me is I save art I know I'm gonna enjoy like a squirrel burying food for winter, the time feels right
that is very true! a mojo issue is always coming!
As @kellythompson.bsky.social Appreciation Month nears its end and FINALLY we're doing an X-Men book on this X-Men podcast. We are joined by @punkerduckie.bsky.social and the rest of the lovely @gambitspotting.com podcast to talk The First Couple of X and their first year of marriage.
in not doing an x-men episode in a little bit, could we argue you have actually escaped the mojoverse?
marvel had just learned crossovers so they did it all the dang time, secret wars ruined comics
yeah, its because all the books are in it, and it is very important to all the books, I got fooled tbh, but I bought it before I found an out of print new mutants 1 and got the other 3, this section of claremont has two big crossovers that they kinda have to double dip in every omni unfortunately
theoretical guy who has the x-tinction agenda omnibus, but x-factor omni vol 3 and new mutants omni vol 4 are also collecting all of x-tinction agenda, gonna have to sell this omni, and probably my fatal attractions when they bring out the gap filling blue and gold omni collects that too.
I am occasionally coy about this so let’s state it plainly: Morgan McSweeney and the British national press teamed up with various absolutely disgusting far right fascist crackpots to stoke a national panic about extremism on the left, and a lot of people who should’ve known better fell for it.
Ferrets: Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri, and Tidus, all sleeping in a chaotic little pile
I came in here originally to tuck in one weasel and then 3 shot out from various places to say hi only to all fall asleep moments later in a pile in front of me. Ferrets kick so much ass
Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.
Before me, uncanny x-men had never been cancelled. I then got it cancelled three time. I am one of the greats.
