Four new kids that I don’t give a shit about:

Man was the only likable character and the only one who made sense in that trainwreck of an issue.

Thinking back on X-Men #700 when Apocalypse pulled this GOAT move.

This costume FUCKS. Like for real, this is a top fiver for me.

Can’t believe it was almost immediately ditched for that terrible “druid” costume. And then that was ditched for the EVEN WORSE crop top and sleeveless trench coat atrocity.

From the Ashes is going about as well as I expected. As in, generally not very good.

But at the very least we’re getting some top tier Romy content, drawn incredibly by David Marquez. #xspoilers

Name an artist you didn’t “get” as a kid, but have come to appreciate with experience.

Chris Bachalo

Thought his art was too ‘exaggerated’, ‘cartoony’ and didn’t ‘fit’ with the other X-books I was reading at the time.

Turns out I was wrong. One of the best X-Artists of the past 30 years.

I really thought he could be happy on Krakoa.

And this is how it ended.

Name a character who was done more dirty in the Krakoan Age (impossible)
January 12, 2025 at 5:53 PM
Why are they like this?

Just let him be happy for once and give him a role in a story that’s NOT “scapegoat”

Was gonna write up some of my thoughts, and still will, but wanted to share this comment from user thesafflower on Reddit. They hit the nail on the head.

I’ve been reading more DC lately so I was gonna keep my Martian Manhunter theme…

But then I starting thinking again about Trial of Magneto and how fucked up it was.

So now I’m getting back on my Toad soapbox. Defending my boy from bad writing is a thankless job but somebody has to do it.

What’s your fave’s lowest point?

Friendship ended with Marvel, DC is my best friend now.
