Yeah, lots of goofy clips from that book going round. Apparently there are Undertale refs in the first issue. Wouldn't need but the slightest push to turn into parody.

It's from a mini-series called, Mother of Madness, which was partially written by the woman who played Daenerys Targaryen. From what I've read and from video reviews, it's a bunch of feminist/SJW talking points. Somehow the main character is a high school dropout who somehow became a chemist, is also a part-time sex worker (independent foot fetish model) because the economy is bad, a super hero at night, while still having time to be a single mom.

At least the author isn't working for Marvel/DC, but I shutter to think that she could one day get a job there.
 
Amazon will be folding Comixology into Amazon.com. Platform will be reduced to a bare-bones storefront.

ComiXology announces new app, more integration with Amazon

It seems pretty bad, as all good features will be gone. No more DRM free backups, no browsing by publishers, no customized recommendations, no quick links to sales events, no neat categories for different books, and the list goes on. To make matters worse, search will be cluttered with normal Amazon results for physical books, merchandise, and fake listings. I wonder how it will affect publishers who focused on digital only. I hope it won't hurt people too bad, especially the European publishers. Digital distribution opened doors for cost effective English language translations of many great books. It's a shame, because for all its faults Comixology was good overall.

On the other hand, this will be an opportunity for new platforms to rise. Izneo is the best candidate to take Comixology's place. They wold only have to expand into American market officially and add a simple feature or two to fill the void left by Comixology's demise.

I wonder if it is Amazon doing Amazon things or has digital business model peaked and they see no reason to keep investing into separate platform?
 
Well, this is stupid and shitty. Hickman isn't continuing on X-Men after Inferno because apparently other creators and management are happy enough with the new status quo Hickman set up and don't want to progress to part 2 or 3 of his planned arc. I do not like this at all - Hickman's shown his grand arcs tend to be quite good (his FF run, Avengers --> Secret War; admittedly his creator-owned book East of West became a bit of a mess), and HoX/PoX were great.

I'm not terribly interested in X-Men books in general - I'll read well-reputed runs from time to time but don't follow the characters - and was only reading this because I like Hickman. T his is a letdown.

they do realize that this is a bad move bc like they can just write their stuff as having happened during this "stage" of Hickman's stuff and just let him run the story through right?

I think Marvel wants to avoid Hickman from going full Claremont, where he overstays his welcome and starts creating too many loose threads that don't get answered for YEARS if not DECADES.

but hickman usually wraps his shit up within a period of time.
 
Has Hickman put out anything thats just bad? I haven't read all his stuff but I enjoyed Secret War and most of the stuff leading up to it. His xmen stuff is strange and interesting enough to have kept me reading for a bit.

I still have trouble with the idea of Wolverine sleeping peacefully on an island with Gorgon, who killed his friend's child to bait him. Or Sabertooth, or any other scumbag that's gone beyond superhero scuffles with them. It's possible I'm missing something obvious.

sabertooth is imprisoned in a hole for all eternity under the island lol.

as for why he gets along with Gorgon, they haven't explicitly explained why. I do know that it's been recently revealed that.
Onslaught infects all resurrected mutants. turns out Moira mindbreaking Prof. X led to Onslaught coming out and noone caught onto it until very recently. Also, no precogs on the island and no active relevant precogs anywhere too.

Whatever Hickman's set up here, I hope they let him finish it bc I'm legit curious. Will this tie into what's happened with the Inhumans getting captured and forgotten about too?
 
Ahh, thank you for the info! I'd seen that Sabertooth was used to get info with Mystique, left to the FF and then they made the rules for Krakoa and the nation. I assumed they'd institute some punishment for his killing guards, fair enough.

Interesting. It's been a refreshing step for the xstuff.

idk why they wont just let Hickman finish the stuff bc if they don't, it's just bad business overall.



then again modern comics seems to get woke, go broke all the time. they're used to bad business decisions.

The island's Quiet Council established that ALL mutants are welcome, and are given a second chance regardless of past actions. That's why "villains" like Exodus, Mystique, and Sinister serve on the Council, and Gorgon is part of the Council guard. Plus Logan killing Gorgon would be pointless since he'd just be resurrected anyway.

However, Sabretooth - due to his being a remorseless killing machine - has been condemned to life buried alive under Krakoa. Killing non-mutant humans violates one of the 3 cardinal rules of the Council, and thus warrants such punishment since humans cannot be resurrected via The Five.
