X-Men #011 Magneto Takes a Sabbatical

image

I started to get my hopes up to early it seems. The first couple of issues were not good, then it seemed to get a little better, and then the last couple of issues destroyed my hopes again. Damn you Stan…I know I had heard that you’re writing was not good, and that you got by on your family connections and an admittedly good business sense, but really? This is just awful.

X-Men #007 The Graduation Evacuation

image

In the six previous books, there has apparently been enough time passed for the X-Men to fully go through prep school AND their specialized mutant power training. Ridiculous. I really wish they hadn’t just skipped forward for no apparent reason. The just lost the ability to let us watch them grow. Now, if you’re reading All-New X-Men in 2012/2013 then this little skip in time is perfect, because the X-Men from the 1960’s are pulled into 2012 by Beast. Not sure that all of those dates are accurate, with comic book time and all.

X-Men #004 Evil Mutants

The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (BoEM) make their debut in this book and it has inspired me to do something special. From this book forward, until it stops being so prevalent, I will be doing a count of how many time the phrases homo-sapien and homo-superior get used in each book.

Homo-sapien:  6
Homo-superior:  3
