L O L one of the reasons you gave this book a bad rating was because it's only been 10 years... Boy do you have a lot to learn about DC and Marvel comics both

Been reading Marvel for 25 years. Yeah, that's one of the reasons but also because it is about as interesting as Garrison Kane in Cable.

You've been reading comics for 25 years, and you think any company keeps track of how many years have passed in continuity? Also secret wars happened like 4 years ago, and that's supposed to be a clean slate, no one knows how many years its been since start to finish

Why read comics if continuity means nothing ? It's literally the only thing that makes them stand out from cheaper and better forms of entertainment .

It is important, but asking a publisher to keep continuity in terms of years? That's a near impossible ask, and no publisher has any clear answer for that at all. Obviously events have happened, that's not what I'm saying, I'm saying it doesn't make sense to give a book a bad review because the publisher doesn't keep continuity in terms of years passed. That's literally impossible due to the company's long history

If the number of years was my only issue, this would be a 9.0/10 but it's BORING. Characters that we not only know nothing about and die right away, but characters that are generic genetic constructs... Literally bred to die on panel. Boring. It was boring. Obligatory for HoX, sure, but this is about as riveting as Malcolm and Randall's backstory. I give this issue a bad rating because there's nothing keeping me engaged, nothing keeping me turning the pages. I loved HoX, but this IS BORING.

gotcha, then guess we can agree to disagree. Just found the part where you put the number of years weird thats all

It's less about the fact that 10 years contradicts the rest of Marvel, than I feel like it was arbitrarily chosen to fit this logarithmic scale thing he came up with. Also, "Man-Machine Supremacy"? Who writes this stuff? Oh yeah, the guy whose big credits are ripping Jim Shooter's marketing project and making the remarkable Discovery that the Fantastic Four are A FAMILY! Everyone is so down on the post-IvX era for no reason but THIS is just so lame and contrived and predictable.

idk i guess different tastes then lol. Me personally, i love the stuff he's doing. The X-Men have been in a creative rut for the last couple of years for me, especially the IvX event

setting up hopefully a good story and mystery, which is why i like it. I'd rather not have a predictable story handed to me on a plate, which is why i like it

Moira sums up my final feelings on the issue: "It seems like the type of thing I SHOULD enjoy, and yet... I look around at all these [panels] and know it's just a show for those who need one. A distraction from what's really going on, if you will." What's really going on is they're bringing back Earth-1610 and this is the long setup.

That's a cool theory! See that's why I find it interesting, anything can happen in my eyes. But if you r set that that's what's happening then I guess you'd think mystery solved. For me, I like just savoring everything and waiting for next issues
