Which is your favourite era of X-Men publishing? (Semis #1/2)

[gleaming burrow]

Claremont really defined the X-men

[shut scaffold]

I have no horse in this race tbh, never read either one, I just voted for the better-looking one.

[dusty horizon]

@terse lichen, thanks for voting!

Why did you choose Uncanny (Claremont)?

[vital plover]

I'm bias as hell because I've read like, 7 issues of Whedon's, and I can't, for the life of me, make it through clairmont

I'm trying, because I've read his Wolverine

But like, his EARLY work does that thing I hate about all early marvel comics, where every character is saying everything outloud.

and when I say everything, I mean everything. They'll say, very blunlty "I'm feeling angry right now." If the panel clearly shows them getting shot, they'll say "AH! I was shot!" If someone cearly dies, they'll say "No! He's clearly dead!"

It's hard, but like I said, he seems to drop that shit later on, because I've read his Wolverine Mini-series, and it's amazing and he's not doing any of that in the series

So for now, I prefer Wheddon, but I'll eventually push through early clairmont, and get to the good stuff

It's hard though. Like, I can't describe how hard it is to read that shit

[floral pecan]

i’d say defo start with days of future past then

[robust marsh]

Emma Frost ❤️💎

[floral pecan]

i don’t remember any of this happening in that

[unreal minnow]

Uncanny because it inspired a lot of shows

And the movies

[crystal bay]

quite frankly

i like uncanny but a lot of the xmen plots in general are getting unappealing to me because of the age of krakoa bs

[obtuse folio]

The Krakoan age is bs correct

[crystal bay]

or whatever i mean

[crystal bay]

yea

[obtuse folio]

Man I hate Krakoa

This is not objective btw I just hate it so much

[crystal bay]

It wasn't a bad read

its just super bs

i don't like how like a some of the OG X-men's moral compasses went 360

But there's also the sheer amount of extinction-level threats of mutants

[upbeat escarp]

Which ?

Which one did u guys pick

[floral pecan]

wtf even is krakoa

is it some planet that hickman created to complicate x men

oh no it’s not that

but he just used it for that

[plain dew]

Uncanny is the fucking goat

[lusty shoal]

Good stuff

[vagrant ruin]

uncanny was good

[upbeat jackal]

It’s fucking peak

Dare I say more

[signal bear]

Honestly I don’t think Claremont’s era is the best X-Men but it’s way superior to anything Whedon did in any capacity

[signal bear]

A living island. A mutant island that lives. It captured the original X-Men which is why Storm & Wolverine & Nightcrawler & Colossus joined the team. Later, Jonathan Hickman made it a whole country for mutants

[gleaming burrow]

You even hate God Loves, Man Kills!??? What???

[vital plover]

I said EARLY work

[vital plover]

I meant like the first five-ish issues

It took me like a week to read them shits

[vital plover]

Read the entire thing that I wrote

[gleaming burrow]

Took me like a day to finish the first few issues of Uncanny, you should honestly give Claremont another chance. God Loves, Man Kills is just one of the best thing I’ve read

[vital plover]

I’m trying, but I can’t read old shit to save my life

I have no idea how people can read shit by Lee and Kirby. The only old thing I can read are the original Fantastic Four comics. Besides that, I have a hard time reading much else

[maiden rampart]

Idk why

[austere holly]

Cuz I heard it's good HAHAHAHAHA I haven't rlly started reading comics butttt I am planning this summer, if u guys could pls reccomebd me sum beginner freindly oness
