Or – “There’d Be Less Rebuilding If They Didn’t Keep Tearing Characters Down…”
Having read the previous issues of All-New X-Men, I have found myself a little bit fascinated by the concept, and understanding why Marvel editorial wanted to do it in the first place. But does understanding the appeal of the Macguffin make the whole conceit work? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of All New X-Men #8 by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez.
Or – “Still Not Sure How I Feel About This Idea…”
I have recently realized something very odd that part of me already knew: Marvel Comics is always playing a short-term game. It should really have been obvious during the era of Avengers Assembled, or when Spider-Man’s identity was public knowledge for a year or two, but the editorial stance at the House of Ideas has openly become one of “Do some wacky stuff and we’ll pick up the pieces later.” To that end, we’ve gotten some great stories (parts of Fear Itself, the first thirty-odd issues of New Avengers, and a portion of Amazing Spider-Man, Hickman’s Fantastic Four stuff) and some stories that we’d all like to forget. (Civil War is the most obvious example for me.) Will the high concept of “time-traveling teenage X-Men in the 21st Century” stand with the likes of Invincible Iron Man, or are we in New Warriors territory? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
