Which is why Fraction's transgender Moloid was so ridiculous.

I dunno, I've never read an Iron Man book in my life. The transgender Moloid was from his FF, an otherwise pretty good book.
And really, it's nothing personal, I'm pretty much a stinking ess jay double-u, but when something doesn't work, it just doesn't.

>>93666984
I just thought it was boring how Fraction defaulted them to a male/female society, even though there are no visible differences between a male and a female Moloid, so all you're left with is the almost parody-like image of a Moloid wearing a dress.

I mean, there's banter and there's having a long winded conversation about the possibilities and ramifications of evolution while punching each other in the vacuum of space... actually, that sounds kinda fun so nevermind.

>>93667354
Honestly I just want slice of life stuff about random mutants.

>>93667132
OK, I getcha now. I found that image kinda funny-sappy, not necessarily bad, but I understand where you're coming from.

>>93667354
I do feel like if you're gonna pick two villains who do that, Apocalypse and THE are up there.

Now, time for a big-ass info dump as I skip most of the annuals because they're just filler!

Next up is a Punisher annual. Basically, Frank fought a giant robot or some shit and took down a drug cartel. That's about it.

260KB, 996x1535px

But on all seriousness, the only reason I'm not doing the whole thing is because
A) I want to get it over with quick so we can get back to our regular X-books
and B) because most of these parts are really unimportant, it's just a bunch of characters fighting a High Evolutionary henchman or something like that. The Avengers annuals are important though, so I'm not skipping those.

Quick thoughts
I miss Franklin, Caliban is dead, and Emma was less of a moustache twirling villain in the late 80s than in present day Marvel.

did anything good get published today btw?

>>93670095

could Emma shoot laser beams here like in the Konami arcade videogame?

>>93666481
>>93666503
>>93666529
Shoemaker's doing a good job aping Simonson here.

>>93666577
>superheroes helping to rebuild battle sites

I miss comic books.

>>93666875
I kinda feel lousy that Desu imploded just as I was starting to work through the ANAD X-era.

It remains a large gap I've only read spotilly.

>>93667048
Could be worse, he could be betraying the X-men to anyone giving an offer.

>>93666645
Wait, this bit of X-Factor had them actually using Ship? That's awesome.

The New Mutant Annual is interesting since it's the last time the Magma/Hellfire Club subplot came into play before Louis abandoned it entirely and Fabian N then shitted all over it and rendered Magma radioactive and damaged goods.

Also why is the FF annual here? The only tacit connection is Quicksilver and I don't think OP posted any of the storyline leading up to this (the infamous Quicksilver goes evil character derailment storyline Englehart wrote and editorial eventually deep-sixed).

Also, are the Hellions still alive? I know they got brought back to life in Necrosha and IIRC later reappeared in the final arc of the late 00s New Mutants series. Are they still running around as techno-organic beings?

>>93674821
>Also why is the FF annual here?
It's not, OP only posted the back-up.

>>93670801
What did you think was gonna happen, Dani?

>>93674185
Yeah, Ship was on the team.
Before the whole ProfessorX/Danger thing the X-Men had a great record with their treatment of A.I. lifeforms.

>>93674821
All the Necrosha "survivors", like Blink and Doug, were never fully listed so as to allow future writers the choice to retcon a needed specific character back to life whenever a story called for it, or if worse came to worst: easily explain a continuity mistake.
