House of M series discussion (spoilers)

I hope to go they don't send him back into accounting. Damn...he finally gets his sexy looks back, and no powers. Excuse me while I go off myself.


And thank you very much, Rhyo. You're the best.
 
Re: For ICE: SPOILER House of M #8 summary

I'm scratching my head - I'm trying, I really am, but I think they meant to call this series House of NB, not House of M as can't work out for the life of me how the "M" in House of M stands for "No Balls".

Ice - sorry about Iceman, but if it's any consolation, Bendis probably did this to "give him his powers back" since he killed Hawkeye in order to "bring him back". In fact, I assume all of this was done so that he can undo it later and claim it's an integral piece of work as opposed to the ****ty fanfiction that it is.

Nah, it's House of D-FE


De-fanged editors. Give Brevoort back his red pencil, his whip and his editorial authority.
 
Iceman was also a speciesist.

He hated humans, he thought he was better than them, and he made few exceptions... He didn't think humans deserved to be subjugated by Mutant dominance, it was far more personal.

It's a matter of Pride, and now i'm intrigued.

He doesnt exactly act like that. Least not now. He loves his family (as much as at first they hated him for being a mutant) and his cousins, who are all humans.
 
I'm trying to decide what I thought about this series. I definitely didn't hate it, but the ending was kind of...anticlimatic.

As for #8 - I'm not even sure what the point of this issue was. It didn't clear anything up, really. And frankly the explanation for why some mutants still had powers was pretty weak, and I didn't like how off-handed-like it was talked about.

Not being able to say where people are, and having that Hawkeye dummy up like that - that's not something you put in the last issue of a series. It's cheap. If Bendis's writing isn't strong enough to be able to tell a complete story in the number of issues he had, then add issues. But finish the friggin' story. :roll:

The art, however, has been fantastic. I really like Coipel. There was a shot of MJ parker early in the book that just looked great. He's not flashy and you can see some of his influences, but it still stands out well.

Overall it was an OK read. But it was incomplete. $24 for a story that didn't have an ending. :?

And this is supposed to be the "most important Marvel story this year".

Next time someone asks why comics aren't selling more than they are, shout this in the direction of Marvel and DC in New York.
 
You know what would have made this a lot better?

Magneto goes through a secondary mutation and gains healing powers. His brain turns into a black hole and he joins the X-Men as none other than the one true Xorn.

:D
 
I would've liked it better if, when they woke up from their dream, we realised it was all Magneto's imagination as his head drops to the floor after Wolverine kills him at the end of Planet X. Then, Ultimate Peter Parker is reading that issue of House of M and goes, "Still less deus ex machina than my life." At which point HE wakes up from a dream, and we realise that he's just gotten home from Jersey after fighting Doc Ock and Kraven.

**** it. If you're going to have an 8-issue series that ends with "EVERYONE WAKES UP FROM THE DREAM" cliche, why not say lots of **** before it was a dream so we can... argh. I ****ing hate Bendis. He's such a ****ing piece of ****. Deus ex machina after 8-issues of nothing and he thinks it's "art". People talking about how they're suffering isn't drama you goddamn muther ****ing ****.
 
Sorry. The swear filter doesn't stop my polls.

I guess you're gonna have to use that 'delete' button. :?

i always thought he was just an original x-men-ist
 
Another thing that bothers me about this (I say this as I rip the Decimation ad which runs right in the middle of a ****ing 2-page spread).

If the whole point of the series was to eliminate most of the mutants in the world, how can it not only continue in existing X-books, but actually spawn new ones?!

Actually, if you think you know the answer to that, don't even answer. It was a rhetorical question.

After House of M, all X-books should be cancelled except Astonishing. It's as simple as that.

It was a crime of passion. I'll let it stand. :D
 
It doesn't matter. You don't care about him really. If they thought Iceman was a character people liked, he'd have appeared in House of M prior to #8 and done something. Obviously, this wasn't the case. He's not important enough to write stories about, only important enough to ruin.

Does anyone else want to bring out that Animal Man run by Grant Morrison where he used the senseless killing and castrating of pre-existing comic characters as a metaphor for animal cruelty?

Again - House of No Balls.

Astonishing is also the only Marvel comic allowed to reference the forbidden run by Grant Morrison, because the one thing Marvel has more than a severe lack of balls and telent, is the ability to whore itself to any other story telling medium's writers, because they're so desperate for money and legitamacy.

A way to get legitamacy is to produce readable, meaningful, insightful works of art that stand on their own as opposed to crappy fanfiction that ends with everyone waking up from a dream ex machina and not resolving anything.

Goddamn it, I am so ****ed off. I want Bendis fired.
