>>83152165
Wow. This is what modern society has turned comics into. Everyone is a victim.

>>83152291
Yeah. I warned you that the comic is pretentious woman venting in. But that's not why I storytimed it. I am really surprised that they were allowed to introduce a new mutant, albeit they did dance around calling her a "mutie"

>>83151486
>Apparently the embargo for introducing new MUTANTS is over
Was it EVER in place? I've seen no actual proof of this outside of Rumor Rich going "trust me guys, there's a conspiracy going on and here's some clickbait to 'prove' it."

All the x-books have been consistently introducing new characters since AvX ended.

>>83152562
Lol, you don't think that such thing would be official?
Still, Claremont mentioned that creating new mutants was a huge no-no. People misquote him as saying that creating mutants was forbidden (because sensationalism), but what Claremont said is that marvel doesn't want to promote characters that would be used by Fox.

Anyway, it's the first new mutant introduced outside of x-book after AvX, and that says a lot. How long time ago AvX happened?

>>83152165
Is the news feed an edit. Also those hero tees are really poorly added like holy crap they are bad.

>>83152655
I feel like the writer has some issues, t b h
I think that she is aware that no one reads the book, so she just inserts whatever she wants.
It's a silent cry for help

>>83151486
Do people care about Mockingbird?

>>83152064
>Dick Profit
Holy shit this woman has problems.

>>83152698
>I think that she is aware that no one reads the book, so she just inserts whatever she wants.
Well that's exactly what happened with Angela: Queen of Hel, so at least this book is actually decent. Queen of Hel was fucking horrible.

>>83152650
cont. and let me tell you more, even during decimation, we had a new mutant introduced, during dark reign (melter, or whatever was his name). and you know, back then mutants were decimated to 198 folks. After 2012 however, you can feel that something wrong was going on.

From 12 x-books per month, it dropped to like 6? Not that it's a bad thing, but marvel is not known for being reasonable. If they have a cash cow, they ride it to death.

>>83152733
lol, no. I don't care about her. I only storytimed it because of the new mutant

>>83152774
Yeah. Frankly, I wonder if she did it on purpose so some x-fag would hype it. This book sells like shit.

jesus christ

there's not worse feeling than reading a comic that clearly has potential to be yet is saturated with bullshit

>>83152733
Wow I could've sworn this book was running for months.
Apparently Issue 2 is selling 30k. Not horrible but it'll only go down from here.

>>83152378
Ten bucks says they'll retcon her into being an Inhuman who got their awakening delayed.

This is probably the worst comic I've read all year. The first two issues weren't so horrible.

>>83152869
One thing that made this book dead on arrival was writer admitting in interviews that it will be inspired by the tv series and that the tv lore would overtake the comic book one. Just like you have the tagline on Agents of Shield saying "comic book inspired by the tv show" rather than
"comic book that inspired the tv show".

>>83152884
it's all possible. however, had this been the case, they would just do it already. not only that, they would include that in the solicits with the caps. it feels like this was something sneaked behind the editors (and we know how much marvel editors suck). like some other anon said, probably did it for the buzz.

>>83152923
You can't say you weren't warned.
I mean really, "women are oppressed"?
Frankly, Freud would have a field day with the "dick envy" that this issue has.

>>83152998
The angry news guys name was Dick Profit.

>>83152923
Also I liked the art and coloring in this issue but the writing sucked, never getting any thing by this woman again.

>>83153051
Yup. How blatant can you get. At the beginning there is the line that she missed the y-chrosome.
Seriously, the writer dreams about having a penis.
Freud said that women want to have kids, because kids are a substitute for the lack of penis. I thought that Freud was insane, but I feel like he was right. Just like Cyclops.

Fuck Jung.

>>83152998
I actually bought the first two out of curiosity, hoping it may be a hidden gem, fuck

>>83153275
Nobody's perfect anon. I also made mistakes in my life. For example, I trusted my friend when he told me that these pills were good for cough.

I woke up with the head in the toilet with a pencil in my anus. Next time, I said no, when he offered me the pills.

>>83151486
I puked.

>>83153448
Damn, you really make me feel bad. I'm sorry anon

And I was enjoying this book too...

>>83154892
Did you notice that cyclops has two eyes instead of one in his visor?

The idea of a young mutant holding his friend in a bubble she don't control is good.

The power of color alteration for chemical element is a good idea too.

Art is in the middle tier of what Marvel do, but nowadays marvel art of pulled really low by Squirrel Girl. So it doesn't mean much.

With a few rewrite it could have been an average issue.

An example of rewrite Marvel whoudl ahve done:

+First page where she want to an heroine is legit funny.
-But we reach the y chromosome part. It is insulting and inacurate. The Avengers had the wasp in the team since days one.

+"Proving yourself in a world of men" could have been a good idea.
- But here it is just "MEENNN!!!" Female heroine, at least in universe are respected. I don't remember a male heroine being misogist to a female hero.
- Instead of writing about sexism, why not show the more successfull marvel woman like Maria hill or She Hulk?

+ Misoginist reporter could have been a good angle. Calling him Dick Profit is a step really far. Killing him in the end is to much. it just turn the young mutie into a murderer. Saving him instead is heroism and he could or not have a chance of heart. Here he is a strawman. Give him a past, or make him concerned by the well being of these girl. Here he is just a dick.

+ Having one T-shirt girl power is OK.
- Having all t-shirt with girlie book? Too much.

+ Hostage negociation with a Six grade girl being hard? Good idea. After all teen are dicks.
Sending a female hero to talk and inspire is a good idea too.

+ Sun coming out to evaporate the raibow. Good point.

- Can't continue reading this shit.
- No proper conclusion.

>>83152733
I cared when she was banging Clint.

>>83155006
You're obviously right. I really don't understand why there is so malice towards men in some women. Nobody's perfect, but really, reaching that hard? I wonder how do these women imagine a perfect world? Or equality?

>>83152125
>>83152165
is there a page missing? is that the resolution? 2 people are dead, Mockingbird is cancelled already isn't it? This feels like Angela where the writer just quit midway through issue 3.

>>83155265
That shocked me too. What happen next?
Obviously, the girl is a killer. A super powered underage killer. How do you deal with that? She got all agreviating circonstance.

>>83155265
that's the rip I got. Either someone goofed, or it really is that abrupt. But judging from the page count it's legit ending

>>83152031

>Dick Profit

I was trying to keep and open mind and keep reading but I can't do this, I'm out

>>83151486
>Warning, the writing is pretentious
That is always implied with anything written by Marvel in the last 3 years.

>>83152165

>Nation stops being sexist, starts talking about tampons

What

>>83157431
*Hugs*
At least you tried

>>83151996

>Women "Can't handle" power. "Too unstable" for elected office. "Might destroy planets"

>>83157629
Don't you know? Tampons are the secret to world peace
I love how this comic shows women are lunatics
If you ever wanted to be justified sexist person here you have it: woman's power fantasy

>>83151659

I am, however, amused that Howard the Duck is on the Juice Box

>>83157689
>Might destroy planets
If only it was a joke...

>>83157733
Didn't even notice. Good eye
Poor artist, though. Working with such a script.
today, there was also a giveaway comic by marvel about the dangers of hurricane.
"Ready Girl" (lol)
Still, the heroine was a great role model, and the whole short comic felt much better than this

>>83157716

See now you're being retarded in the other direction

We've had plenty of instances of women writing comics without being bull blown batshit crazy about it. This author is a psychopath, that doesn't mean women are psychopaths.

>>83152378
I thought it was just your regular Marvel pretentiousness.
This is ADVANCED PRETENTIOUSNESS. Body discharges, The War on Teenage Girls, STEM cunnilingus - it's like Salon Bingo. I'm not sure the hard confirmation of a single mutant was worth reading this.

>>83157799
Of course it doesn't. It's just that we don't have balance. Those who could write a good book with females, are in minority. And frankly, most of times, for some reason, women are venting. Hard

Why? I don't know.

I actually think this is one of the better books being put out by Marvel, this issue was meh, but the previous two were really good.

I just want Squirrel Girl to be cancelled.

>>83157918
Maybe it was a trap? You know, I have a hard stomach, nothing really moves me. At the core, the story wasn't really a bad idea. It's just that you can see that this is a cry for help. For some hug.

>>83151780
>Instagram mention for literally no reason

>>83158122
>social medias everyone!
>everyone uses them!

>>83157918
>STEM cunnilingus
what?

Where does it say she is a mutant?

>>83158010
Yeah, well, I'm a broken person who sees conspiracy in everything, and this story just made my arms pop off, so I have no hugs to give.
t. Floyd Belkin

>>83158271
You know, opening yourself is not easy, I applaud you. I don't like talking about myself, I hate that.
But a lot of people find cathartic when they just can spill the beans, even if no one listens. i don't know, just... whatever

>>83158233
I wanted to say "STEM fellation", but I thought "cunnilingus" would be more appropriate.

>>83158266
it is implied here>>83151628
and >>83151902
still, it's a massive step.
and if she isn't mutant, then what she is?
if she was an inhumeme, it would be spelled out

the fact that the word mutant is danced around sort of proves.

I mean, suddenly, she gets power (no mists involved). She's 12 year old, so a little before puberty, however it's explicitly said that she matured a little too early. What more proof do you need?

>>83158324
I guess I see what you mean.
And it is pretty common for people to vent in their work when it's about to end. Sometimes it can be fascinating in addition to being indulgent, but not always.

>>83152064
>>83152092
I would have taken the shot at that point. She's a killer who killed two men, one of which was just doing his job holding a camera. Mockingbird's plan at this point would put everyone in the area at risk.

>>83158447
I would go as far and say that it's a trainwreck.
The best part? It would be a good issue, if the writer wasn't so frustrated. She really sounds helpless, and it's fucked up that she tries to make it up in fiction. Think about it.

>>83158488
Who wouldn't? But in the end it's not unrealistic.
In Brazil, country known for police brutality, you have accidents like this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_174

>>83158439
The actual word mutant would help. There is no age limit on terrigen and bobbi saying I'm not a mutant doesn't confirm anything. It's not like the word mutant is banned. If she turned out to be a the result of a lab experiment or Inhuman it wouldn't conflict with anything.

>>83158683
Probably. But I guess that it's as close as it gets.
I was a little too ecstatic, when I storytimed it, because I hoped that this petty war ended.

But maybe you're right. I wonder if I should delete the thread, as to not accidentally bait other anons into reading this. Then again, I'm not sure if I can, because there is a time limit within you can delete your own post.

>>83151715
Is this supposed to be a parody of itself?

>>83158856
No, and that's the saddest part. I mean, you can laugh it, you can hate it, but you should actually feel pity.

>>83158489
This is probably the first time I've read a screed like this that wasn't baked into a shitty story. There's nothing bad about the way the story is told or set up (except for the short reactions to confirmed, intentional kills, which is offputting) - it just chafes. It's unusual. It's like this issue embodies every defense people made for books like Spider-Woman or All-New Thor, except that it's actually true here.

>>83151749
did anyone notice the facepalm meme on the wall ?

>>83158998
Let's be careful, because we might make this issue 2deep4us

>>83159054
I didn't. Holy fuck

>>83159054
I wonder if the artist included this, after reading the script, as an easter egg

>>83151996
>Baby groot plant
CUTE

>>83158998
I can see that. I don't really hate it. It feels a little like a sandman story, it feels more like a dream. I mean it's not complex, challenging, or a competent story, but it certainly has this absurd / surreal feel

>>83152165
What the hell happened? The first two issues were good. This was alright, but it felt like it was extremely far out of left field.

>>83159235
Apparently the Angela effect happened, ie writer doing whatever, because it'll be cancelled anyway.

But I agree, this issue feels a little like a creepypasta, you expect another random capeshit, and you get some weird meta messages

I don't understand
>Mocking bird. So this must be about spies or shield or something
>I remember the first issue, there was a conspiracy or some weird shit. The writing was a little dumb
>this issue is some nonsense smattered in random girl power and sexism messages
>my body is changing! super powers! the news is evil! we can't talk about tampons!

This is the most I've ever wanted to drop a comic on the first page. Thanks OP, this is a real find.

>>83163700
Y-you're welcome. Frankly, I'm sorry if it pissed you off. I was more interested in the fact that non x-book introduced a mutant. I couldn't care less for mockingbird. And frankly if not for that, it wouldn't be storytimes

Thank you

>>83163835
Oh, I still read through it, and I actually just find it baffling that the first page wasn't the odd one out in political transparency but instead it carried on relentlessly throughout the entire issue. It's kind of incredible how much they crammed into this issue without actually saying anything. Like, maybe this is less insidious than just keeping the political angle entirely subtextual and marketing to children but it's just interesting how politically masturbatory published comics have become.

>>83151486
I didn't enjoy reading this issue. Which is fine, because it's not really geared towards me. It's geared towards progressive activists looking for the next strong female character to push. And issues 1 and 2 were such fun.

>>83152733

I thought it was Songbird for a week or two and got my hopes up until I realized the truth.

She's not that interesting overall.

>>83151595
>>83151570
You warned me and I was still not prepared.

Also, how the fuck are those 5 idealized heroes at the same time? Namor was never one, and Cap + Android Human Torch were WW2. Unless that Fantastic Four/Avengers which BOTH HAVE WOMEN ON THEIR TEAMS. Same problem with O5 X-Men, compounded with the question of who the fuck was idealizing mutants

Hey, so, this is the fucking nightmare of anyone who actually practices BDSM; your partner leaves you tied up, fucks off without your permission, and then, what? Isn't there to help when your too-tight bonds give you nerve damage? Forgets to lock the door and someone else enters to find you at their mercy? Gets hit by a bus and leaves you to die of dehydration?

Who wrote this shit?

Porn of new mutant when

>>83152884
dude, this girl was just a pawn for the author to make some point and will NEVER show up again.
btw what was the point of this issue, I fail to understand what any of it was about.

>>83168052
The point is no one is buying Mockingbird's comic because she doesn't have a Y-chromosome.

>>83168052
Girls are angsty destructive shitstorm because the government doesn't talk about tampons

>>83168611
I like the art, but I find the character's internal monologue very unappealing.
She's a spy for fuck's sake, you wouldn't have Nick Fury or James Bond do it, it ruins any kind of mystery.
Also this last issue was bad.

I loves me some Bobbi, but this shit makes me sad a little. Why can't she just go do spy/shield shit maybe have Spider-man guest star in her book a little bit. Oh have her bumming Parker's lab since he has some nice shit now and it'd be a nice nod at when Pete used to do the same shit to Reed.

I mean damn, I get enough of shit like this everyfuckingwhere else.

>>83166537

>>83166288

This was actually really enjoyable

What happened

>>83152165
You know, I liked the first two issues of this... but this is laid on pretty goddamn thick.

The plot of your comic shouldn't be "We should talk about tampons."

all of you getting so upset about the feminist crap in this is why there is feminist crap in this.

way to go.

>>83155011
Hawkeye and Mockingbird was so fucking good. What happened, damnit?
Not Clint's a pedophile and Bobbi is... this.

Yeah, I guess I kind of knew it already but still.

>>83166429
I never read much Marvel UK, but it still bugs me they turned Lance Hunter into TV Lance Hunter, even though Clint actually exists in the comics so they don't need his personality stand it.

Lance Hunter was more of the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart type, wasn't he?

>>83168052
that we don't know how to handle angry 12-year old.

It's clearly a parody of recent 'girl power' stuff. Look at the news banners for crying out loud. Why are you lot taking this as a serious crack at sexism?

From what I've seen of this and other series like this? It's been cancelled and the editors stopped giving a fuck and now the writer has free reign to write what ever the fuck they want.
Here's some good examples of this
Angela Queen of Hell
Threshold
Peter David's Captain Marvel.
Joe Casey's Automatic Kafka

This is not unusual in comics and often it ends with the writers own insecurities about the situation rise to the forefront. Also my god the continuity in this is bad. Why does Cyclops have two eyes?

Hawkeye/Songbird is not for sexual

wtf happened..I guess they're not going to finish the plot they started in issues 1 and 2?

You know, I liked issue 1&2 but this one was so heavy handed. You don't need to constantly say that it's hard for a woman, you can show it but just outright saying it over and over is lazy.

>oh hey, Mockingbird. Finally a decent Marvel series starring a female chara-

>>83151595
Women were a mistake.

Seriously though the writer should've been fired the minute she turned in a script that shits all over the entire company and the many female heroes that have long existed and hand prominent roles in the company for decades.

This piece of shit is what happens when you give a comic to a middle-aged feminist raised by draft dodging hippies. This is somehow worse than Hellcat and Squirrel Girl.

I don't get why you're so triggered. It wasn't a great issue, but it wasn't so ripe with "KILL ALL MEN" as you make it sound.

>>83190900
Snarky "take THAT" feminism always come across as kind of desperate, IMO, and this issue was that wall to wall.

Plus it kinda drops the larger narrative with Bobbi seemingly going nuts in favour of "Men, AMIRITE LADIES" jokes.

>>83190922
The first guy didn't get killed because "men are eeeeevil" but to show that the girl is dangerous (and, I guess, that teen girls can get vicious when you try to hurt their friends). Bobbi even tries to stop her because she's going too far.
As for the reporter and cameramen, I read them as stereotypical media vultures, not as "evil men to kill for their maleness".

>>83191427

>>83151685

>>83191670
Media vultures are product of TOXIC MASCULINITY.

>>83152165
"stops being sexist"
I somehow don't think the writer know what not being sexist is or means.

>>83151902
So I missed the second issue, did they retcon that she's got an Infinity Formula/Super Soldier Serum cocktail in her veins? Because that's kind of a big fucking deal for someone going trying to be humble.

>>83163835
Don't stutter when you're writing, you look like the most massive faggot ever.

>>83190900
its actively retconing history to present women as oppressed.

then, presents female superiority as equality.
Look at the page with the girls in Tshirts. Girls wearing only female hero tshirts. That is the definition of Sexism. This author doesn't understand what they are presenting.

>>83151570
There literally were female heroes fighting beside Cap, Namor and Torch during WWII, like Spitfire, Miss America, Golden Girl and others.

No, they didn't. It's mentioned literally on the first page posted >>83151543

>>83151570
>>83151595
Wew, this sure didn't waste time getting to the cringe.

>>83152165
I think you guys are misreading this ending.

I think it's saying that Bobbi is so full of herself blaming her overshadow heroics on men, that when she does save people, they don't care, because she ain't Kamala, Female Thor, Spider-Woman, etc.

>>83152165
>Black Cat known among teenage girls
Please.

>>83192514
Prejudice on the basis of sex.

I liked the part where she saved the entirety of female comic readers.

I'm afraid we can't have that.

>>83192800

Doesn't make the character likable or the book any better.

So either this issue is meant to be taken seriously and straight, in which case it's confusing and terrible, or it's supposed to be part of a larger story with little hints here and there, in which case it's also confusing and terrible but part of something that's even MORE confusing and terrible.

>>83193114
I actually think it's intended to be a positive - she couldn't save the news chopper but she redeemed herself a few minutes later by saving those girls, then the "I need a drink" line is meant to be light and comedic, in line with the lines the girls have in the same panel.

Now, that's a fucking retarded angle, but I think it's pretty clear that's what they did.

>>83152165
>talking about Black Cat like it's for teenage girls
So little girls talk about criminal lords like they are celebrities now?

>>83193355
This series so far has been confusing and weird, intentionally. So it's definitely more the latter.
Something is being built towards.

But that still doesn't really excuse this issue's Sarcastro grade feminism.

>>83193550
>Something is being built towards
But is it something good?

I'm inclined to say no, because if it were, the buildup itself would be good. The buildup is shit.

Also the book's getting canceled no later than issue 12 (I haven't seen the solicits so I don't know, maybe it's already canceled) so I'm sure the writer's grand vision is gonna get fucked due to time constraints anyway.

This issue was just so confusing, not even the feminism. I don't even care about that bit, it's the rest of the issue that just seems like the writer wants to do David Lynch but doesn't understand why Lynch's stuff works.

The premise the writer out forth had it where the first issue would feel disjointed, with the following issues filling in the blanks.

What blanks does this issue fill?

>>83193948
Feminists don't know the definition of subtlety.

>>83193905
I mean, that's usually how it goes. Mutants are scum

>>83151659
So, for the rest of this issue, this girl will be portrayed as a dindu noffin that murdered the helicopter pilot by accident trying to protect the people she herself engendered and then murdered the reporter because he was kind of vain (I think that's what the comic is going for, wouldn't think that was an offense punishable by death) BUT right here the girl absolutely tried to murder this man for absolutely nothing.

Honestly if you read the letters page of issue 1 and 2, this is really in line with what the writer's been saying, but it hasn't been playing out this shittily. Yeah, issue 2 was full of shirtless hunk and her constantly getting the upper hand on him, but shit wasn't quite as... well, quite as much as this issue.

>>83151570
Huh, and I was actually enjoying the series up until now. Welp, dropped, like everything else from Marvel that isn't Tom King.

I've stopped reading so many books from them, one by one, that I don't even feel of twinge of regret for not following it.

>>83152783
>From 12 x-books per month, it dropped to like 6? Not that it's a bad thing, but marvel is not known for being reasonable. If they have a cash cow, they ride it to death.

That's exactly the point. In 2012 they suddenly had a vastly more popular property of their own to play with because of the Avengers, and on top of that, they knew they were getting Star Wars too. You might say "but they can just release these books in addition to the X-Men titles and make even more" but that's because you've never even worked a register. Stores have limited space; online sales and digital haven't taken off for any comic book publisher anything like well enough to justify order-only titles at a lower sales threshold than they're already pegged to for store orders.

tl;dr the stores wouldn't order everything and the least popular books - as judged by what's actually selling in the movies right now - would be the ones to suffer, so you'd end up making a loss just producing them, which you'd then have to offset against the profits you made from the more popular titles.

>From 12 x-books per month, it dropped to like 6?

Just looking through the Diamond 300 at random:

Feb '14: Wolverine #1+#2, Wolverine & X-Men 41+42, Savage Wolverine #15, X-Men Legacy #24, Marvel Knights X-Men #4, All New X-Men #23, Uncanny X-Men #17, X-Men #10.NOW, +#11, Amazing X-Men #4, Wolverine Origin II #3, X-Force #1, Deadpool #23+#24, All-New X-Factor #3 (#1 also makes a reappearance due to variant sales). So early 2014, 17 X-Men/Deadpool titles a month (plus Fantastic Four #1). Which is actually up from that drop you perceive after the 2012 high, right?

Let's look at Feb '16: There's 6 Deadpool titles in the top 300 alone. Seriously. So I guess that's probably pushing out some other X-books. Though there's still 5 X-Men titles in the top 300, but only 2 Wolverine books. So I guess that's only 13 titles instead of 17. Plus any crossover issues.

Were you born dumb or did you work for it?

I feel bad at just how much this book is making me laugh. It must suck to be a woman, to want to be genuinely respected yet have tag alongs put out this completely unaware mockery, and have that end up as the product of your movement.
There are smart, talented women in the world and exactly none of them were involved in the making of this book.

I think she's trying to say that a male hero could be given a power up without then turning evil but females can't. I can't think of an example from that era as a counterexample so I won't argue one way or the other.

Four, the helicopter pilot, the reporter, a cameraman and what looks like a random police officer.

Is the number of women, gay, transgenders that buy and read comics, so high in the west that it is actualy good to put so much focus on SJW stuff? Not trolling, just asking if it is true? Because otherwise I do not understand why all that stuff is things ment for boys and men.

>>83193182
But have you thought about what effect the change in male female population ratio would have on social and market trends?

>>83210245
No.

>>83206432
Yeah, the narration is my biggest problem with it. It just comes off as self-righteously obnoxious, like it thinks it's telling a mother of all jokes all the time.

>>83151813

>>83152948

So that's why the timeline makes fuck all sense here? There's no way Mockingbird grew up with the Avengers being a fully formed team. It doesn't make any sense.

This is the worst book I've read since Wild Children. Most or this crap nowadays has at least a single redeeming quality, but this one is consistently terrible, cover to cover.
We, as a society, need to start talking about tampons if we want to avoid similar disasters.
