Comic Book Questions & Discussion

House of X and Powers of X. The TPBs put them in the right order.

There’s some buildup before but that’s when everything gets moving.

Such a pity the latest Obi Wan episode was too late for my epic BZ with him. A true Low Meta indeed.

Not every book grabs me but I’m overall still into the X-men since Hickman turned everything upside down.

Big change of status quo, done every once in a while, seems to be doing wonders for mutant stories, tbh.

I really am enjoying the X series.

There's too much happening at once... but when I remember how bland the pre-Hickman stories were (despite having a great premise, at first), I sure don't mind this controversial Krakoan Era.

More than maybe any other mainstream team/corner of comics, the X stories were linked to social politics at the time of writing, which made them really compelling but maybe not as timeless as, say, a good Batman detective tale. Things needed to change to inject some oxygen into the stories and a fresh take on the mutant/human, mutant/mutant dynamic.

Plus Hickman brought the X-Men back to the forefront of Marvel’s sci fi. I’m surprised that his reboot of the series still feels like it’s going strong after three years but I’m happy about it.

Too wordy at times

Yeah, they have a lot of scene setting with their exposition pages...I quite like them though. Like canon handbooks.

Didn't think of it that way... makes sense. Thx

Nice fanart 👆

Doesn't the word "femtosecond" only indicate a time unit, not necessarily means speed? IOW, the speed it is more about the distance the object moved in a time unit.

The only thing I get from this scan is the missiles get some really insane acceleration speed, not it is sub-light speed

Well we know the speed reached in a femtosecond (99% c) so it just gives us a window of time to understand the rate of acceleration.

Yep, it has an insane acceleration speed its what I get from the scan.

Well “acceleration speed” doesn’t make sense to me but yeah, it accelerates quickly.

And also, at 99% c, apparently moves faster than Flash lol

Hmm, I don't think Cyborg means its moving sub-lightspeed at the time it hits the target. Because light can only travel 300 nanometers in a femtosecond

In one femtosecond, light travels just 300 nanometers — about the size of the biggest particle that can pass through a HEPA filter, and just slightly larger than the smallest bacteria

So it is more likely Cyborg was talking about it's acceleration, not the speed its moving at that time
