I'm surprised Betsy didn't get some implants for her eyes. The whole "black empty void" thing is not a good look, lemme tell ya.

Oh well, I guess she's about to get some "implants" anyway

Having wide open eye sockets just isn't sanitary, either. You should at least have them sewn shut.

I think Monet is a perfect fit for it. But I am not sure I am ready to see Black Tom as an antihero and a 100% evil villain.
And I think everybody would have prefered a mutant instead of Magneto's flatscan girlfriend.

I read all the stuff people dumped from the Win-O threads. People seem to think Rebirth is really great, I'm not convinced just yet.

I know its been awhile but New52 doesn't feel that long ago. Reading the first issue of New52 Aquaman doesn't feel that long ago... can't they just be definitive about something for once?

I decided to be a madman, got myself a reading order list and one of those free comics sites (same one done by whoever does Kissmanga) and decided to actually start reading through the Clone Saga.

Sort of; in the origin plans for UXM before Shooter made CC kill Jean/Byrne quit, Sabretooth would have appeared in #143-149 where he rapes/rendered Mairko brain dead to mess with Wolverine, forcing Logan to mercy kill Mariko and then fighting and killing Sabretooth, who'd be established to be his dad before dying

I remember Magik's looking decent

Also I do love Warlock

I was being sarcastic, I personally don't get all the vitriol that movie got, I just thought it was very underwhelming, nothing horrific like X3 or Origins

Hers is alright, but the others... yeesh.
Also, 'Lock is great for sure.

I like Adams' Spiral. She looks like a goddamned samurai.

Let's see how Claremont handles Longshot.

Wolverine doesn't look any different :^)

Calm down, Doug, I'm sure nothing will ever come of this.

I can't remember

I would really question if there was any plan to her beyond a vague notion that they would eventually do the betrayal and becomes evil story.
The whole retconned timetravel thing is always an afterthought, just look at Cable: it was the same deal with him.
>>
I don't ship this.
>>
>>85170438
I didn't really see any hints in Longshot's mini, it was probably Claremont's idea.
>>
>>
>>85170422
The hairy man shirtless look is very disturbing to see pushed with Wolverne all the time.
How exactly was this intended to warp and pervert young minds?
I like my X-fetishes in a different flavor, thank you very much!
>>
Neat use of the onomatopoeia there.
>>
>>85169705
Originally, this was the case. In the Handbook of the Marvel Universe, 1981-1983 published edition, Wolverine's section had a cutaway sketch of his forearms showing that his claws were implants with spring loaded housings.

While this was retconned MUCH later, it was still what was going on with him during this story.

Because they don't really need individual costumes. Uniforms or street clothes work well for them. For example, why does Sam need a visor when he's invulnerable when he's blastin'? Only Dani (Valkyrie mode) and Illyana (sorceress/darkchild mode) and Sunspot (because he's such a showboat) seem like they need individual costumes
>>
>>85169870
Magma and Magik look pretty okay for the comic's era. The rest, holy shit.
>>
KURT OF MURDER
>>
>>85170670
I know, it's just weird to see moments that contradict later canon, especially with Wolverine.
>>
>>85170747
Magma's just so generic. I do like Illyana's though.
>>
>>85170585
Mindwarping and identity corruption ... Now that's the kind of perv I've come to love from X-comics.
>>
>Never let us speak of those costumes again

Mojo is a sick freak.

>>85168510
Not really.

It was a $20-50 book in the early 90s but the price for it basically sank like a stone by the late 90s, so you had about 18-19 years of it being a dollar book (I should know, I grabbed up about 3-4 copies dirt cheap around the time Betsy's role in X-Men Apocalypse came out).

Even then though, it never rose to more than $50 when X-Men Apocalypse hit theaters. It's not a rare book like NM #87 or 98; lots of copies exist in the wild.
>>
That's all for now, tomorrow: the Massacre starts!!
>>
>>85168640
Outside a couple of issues (UXM #212-213, 244, 266, Annual #14; X-Factor #24; New Mutants #87, 98) most of the 80s/early 90s X-Men books stopped being worth a lot of money around the late 90s when the X-Men popularity train started by Jim Lee/Rob Liefeld finally died down following Onslaught.

A lot of people ended up liquidating their collections of X-Men books and New Mutants Annual #2 was one of those once hot books (going for $20-50 when the X-Men were at their peak in the early 90s) that everyone got rid of, so they are scrambling to try and get them again.

That said, the real hot as fuck, going for HUGE fucking bucks Psylockes shit, are her first appearances in the original Captain Britain comic from the early 70s. Even the Moore/Delano books (the former being next to impossible to find these days) doesn't sell as much as the Claremont penned Brian in zentai/Betsy as a blonde era first appearances

Illyana is looking pretty sullen there. I wonder how much of that is artist's discretion and how much was scripted? Being left out of the group hug isn't something that an artist does by mistake.
>>
>>85170537
It's been speculated by some that Spiral was supposed to be Longshot's lover or wife from the Mojoverse. Longshot was a big star and Spiral his girlfriend or wife with ties to Mojo giving her a level of authority over the humans in the Mojoverse. Spiral most likely fell head over feet in love with Longshot and at best, led her on or at worse, flat out exploited her love for him for his own selfish interests (to become a star in the Mojoverse or to use her to help the rebellion).

And the super hate came from Longshot opting to reject Spiral/serving Mojo as one of his favorites (meaning they got to live better than the other slaves) to join the rebellion, when push came to shove and Spiral giving him a "if you love me, you'll stay by my side and loyal to Mojo!!!".

Robert Kirkman went a similar route in his Ultimate X-Men run with the Ultimate Spiral/Longshot back story. Though Kirkman had a major twist: Spiral hated Longshot because he was a super-jealous, possessive boyfriend who murdered the man Spiral dated after they broke up, because he was still obsessed with her and didn't want her to love anyone else and Longshot manipulating her and the X-Men to try and get acquitted of the crime.

A bit heavy on the yellow...Besides I think Cannonball's X-Force uniform was his best

FunFact: Mojo was a composite based upon real people that the Marvel talent met when dealing with TV network executives who wanted to "adapt" X-Men characters.
If you don't believe me just remember that a televised Wolverine with an Australian accent once existed. That's Mojo's doing.
>>
>>85171695
You would not believe how long it took me to realize that was a "C" - for Cannonball.

>>85171695
Bachalo is a neat designer, even if his costumes end up looking kinda samey.

And his Mojo is definitive, of course.

>>85170537
It was in the Longshot mini, issue 4 or 5? There's a part where Mojo has Ricochet Rita tied to the prow of his ship as he sails the Wildways, and Spiral is thinking to herself that she remembers this and can't believe she's helping create herself. Let me see if I can find the page.
>>
God damn, I love Art Adams X-Men work.
>>
>>85171964
Makes me wonder what other X-characters have signature artists. Warlock and Legion obviously
>>
>>85171427
er, you know Spiral is Ricochet Rita from the origin mini, right?
>>
>>85172143
Liefeld and Cable
Alan Davis and Captain Britain
Jim Lee's Psylocke set the standard for her for a decade.
>>
>>85171194
Doubt she was left out. More likely she felt uncomfortable in a group display of affection.
>>
Are you doing ALL the X-Men comics in order?
>>
>>85172060
A smart investor would buy up classic Illyana stuff in preparation for the New Mutants movie.
>>
up
>>
>>85173162
Maybe I'm not a savvy enough investor but only Uncanny 160 and the mini series seem like they'll be worth it. Her first appearance is swallowed up in Giant-Size X-men and "her" death was published when issues were selling millions.
>>
>>85169870
Magma, Sunspot, Moonstar, Magik and Karma are all fucking great
Cannonball would be nice too if it wasn't for the shit helmet
Cypher looks like shit, but something tells me he should have kept that vest

I'd love to read through this hwole big storytime but, as I found out when it started, I don't have the attention span. However, I'd particularly love to read Inferno as I never have before. When it comes to that, would you guys say it'd be a good jumping on point? I already know a fair amount about the X-Men, I'm not new to comics or anything.
