    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: In With The New Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy Matthew PetersonDecember 31, 20162 Comments1 Min Read

    I joke about it repeatedly on our podcasts and the innernets, but when it comes to fandom, change is always perceived as bad.  Hal Jordan’s heel turn was received as the worst thing ever, then Kyle Rayner’s debut was the worst, then Hal’s death, then Kyle being replaced by Hal, ad nauseam.  Still, many of the best parts of comics came from such “in with the new” moments: Captain America’s addition to the Avengers; the satellite and ‘Bwah Ha Ha’ eras of the Justice League; the existence of Kamala Khan.  It’s not a 100% surety, as Teen Iron Man and the creation of Triumph clearly show us, but many of the best things in pop culture come from a willingness to do something wild and unpredictable, leading us to today’s New Year’s Eve query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) still resents any Next Generation episode with Dr. Pulaski, despite the fact that the season also bears some of my favorite episodes, asking: What’s the best All-New All-Different “in with the new” moment in all of pop culture?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      To me, its probably the then new X-Men team with Cyclops, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm, Wolverine and short-lived Thunderbird. I count Kitty in that team “originals” as well because she just joined when I first started reading X-Men. Recent example of well received all-new is The Force Awakens, it seems pretty much universally well liked.

      To piggyback off of Malone_Hasco, his post reminded me of the creation of the New Mutants when the X-Men were thought dead. I really enjoyed that run of New Mutants, it was an eclectic group of misfits that behaved a bit more like people thrown together than a well oiled team, which played into the stories well.
