House of M series discussion (spoilers)

Hawkeye disintergrating was one of the coolest things yet. And Dr. Strange was casting a spell and saved the muties, I think.

But yea, Pietro kick some major *** in this one.

I'm sorry, but dialog revolving around the central theme of:

"I tried to kill you because I loved you!'
"Yes, after I killed you I brought you back because I loved you!"

is beyond lame.

Yes... I can feel your anger... give in to your hatred and your journey towards the light side will be complete.
 
I have to agree, the dialogue reminded me of a high school play written by preschoolers

Though the art I thought was good, and the twist was different as well. I swear, Bendis must have a thing for his sister, first Ultimate, and now in 616 as well.

Actually, if you have read the solits for She Hulk, Hawkeye is back there.

Not necessarily. We know that Hawkeye is part of the first two She-Hulk issues and that one of Jen's old Avenger pals joins the firm in issue #4, but we don't know that it's Hawkeye. Slott's been playing that one very coy in interviews, too. Also, if you read the previews, Jen's new law case involves time travel and a time travel machine, so there is a possibility that Hawkeye's presence is the result of Jen travelling through time to solve the mystery - not Hawkeye actually being in the present.

And before you say "that'd be lame..." - it's not any lamer than resurrecting a character you just got finished killing off and them killing him off in the miniseries you resurrected him in and then having him somehow survive that.

Alright, but the solits said "no we're not joking" and all that jazz, so I just went by that.
 
I kinda agree w/ MWOF, guys. I mean the first six issues were some of the most drawn out **** ever in comics, and this issue finally made me give a crap. 3.5/5
 
I loved this.

"No more mutants." Cool.

Even though I knew it was going to be something along those lines, seeing it and seeing it happen were very cool.

Strange totally protected the mutants that were there. I still think that one of the main things HoM will do is drastically cut down the number of mutants. Looks like Wanda offed all of them, but Strange saves the ones he can reach.

I didn't have a problem with the dialogue at all, in fact, I thought it was better than Bendis's usual stuff. And the art was superb.

5/5

Yeah, you basically called it.

I gotta wait until tomorrow to pick up my issues. :(

This can't be right or final at least. I mean characters aren't just gonna stop appearing. I mean what happens to all of my titles? Bishop, Cable, Deadpool... ok, Deadpool's not a mutant... but still get the gist of it? How will they decide what mutants survive and who doesn't.

I'm thinking that all of the established mutants will stay, and stuff like District X (the area of NYC) will be gone.

It could be farther reaching than that, and some established characters could go too, but that's my best guess.
 
....I told they would kill him... :cry:
Thanks god Wanda was there, but i think she revived him as a human so hat's why the Son of M...and then no more Quickie :cry:
They will have to do another speedster for the DC vs Marvel if they ever happen again...

I want to see the reprucussions of this. Either A. No More Mutants means the X-Gene is abolished or it means more Sentinels hunting down Mutants by law of the world governments.

If it's the earlier than I can't wait for the story entitled "Don't **** with mother-nature" and the X-Gene starts popping up all over the place again.
 
I'm pretty sure Strange was only allowed to save 198 mutants. I got that number from an upcoming title.
 
I'm sorry... but doesn't anyone else think "no more mutants" is stupid? They won't cancel any of the gajillion X-books that sell, and they're producing MORE mutant-related titles such as Son of M and The 198 to tie into this 'event' in which there are less mutants - but more mutant-related titles.

I just... I just can't take this seriously at all. Sorry.

Well, no duh that there isnt really gonna be "No more mutants". It's so obvious. The only thing we have to look for is HOW its going to be told from this point, to the next.


Awesome issue though. Loved Magneto being pissed off. Reminded me why he's my favorite villain.
 
i just got done reading it and damn the ending came right outta left field for me i mean i didn't think he had the balls to do what he did but damn!
and i loved magnetos reaction when he remembered how things really were

If by "he" you mean Bendis, I have to disagree because he didn't really do anything, and I don't think anyone believes that all of the mutants have ceased to exist. But it was a great cliffhanger, for sure, and even though I doubt it's what it is presented to be there's little doubt it will be huge and not something that can be easily retconned or reversed.

I'm conflicted about this -- the idea of non-super-hero mutants attempting to live ordinary lives was one of the most intriguing aspects of both Joe Casey and Grant Morrison's runs, although they did exhaust A LOT of the narrative possibilties in a satisfactory kind of way.

I'm wondering if this will also reverse secondary mutations as well -- for example, Archangel losing his healing blood, Iceman being able to change back into human form, and Beast reverting to his more ape-like appearance, etc.

Also, forcibly "curing" all the non-hero mutants basically negates any dramatic impact the entire first arc of Astonishing X-Men has.

Oh, another ramification: this probably means that Angel (Beak's wife) AND their kids are probably gone, as well. Looks like Beakie will probably sticking around with the Exiles indefintiely now.
