But, you know, young Hank learned magic at least.

Fine literature right there. 👆

They sure took their sweet time before leaving, too.

I remember that!

Actually remember something from Marvel.

The young Xmen brought to the future was totally ripped off from Giffen's Legion of Superheroes "Five Years Later", where they did nearly the same thing. They left it up in the air whether they were time displaced or clones.

You would need to be eleven times dumber than carver not to remember.

It lasted years and ended relatively recently.

And no, legion of dc failures didn't inspire it, it's an old ass idea spammed often in fiction.

Did you read 5YL?

Old time fans didn't like it because of how unlike the standard Levitz run it was.

It actually feels very close to a mix of L.E.G.I.O.N. and Watchmen, you might like it.

Yeah, LOSH didn't inspire it. It just served as the model to copy the concepts and archetypes from.

The **** is this "Captain Krakoa" bullshit?

A desperate attempt to make Cyclops suck less.

Your boy is such a great instagram model, you should be proud!

*where are those tissues when you need them the most... need to use my shirt again...*

If they wanted Cyclops to not suck, they shouldn't have ruined him in the first place.

Yup.

Y'know, we can use something other than a banana to transform you into Cyclops... 😉

Pfft. Like we need the assistance.

You can thank Duggan for that. He's really taking Cyclops to the next level. vin

This is what Pr gets for saying bad things about his lord and saviour, Joss Whedon.

The only writer in history of Marvel who cared about Cyclops.

Wow.

**** Whedon. **** him with a rusty cactus.

Saddest part is, Guggen didn't stop with Cyclops. The whole team is lulz worthy. I'm having to watch X-23 go through the character blender again, just as she was starting to climb out. Jean got off better than the others character-wise, but she is still kinda meh.

I'd rather have Bendis back, as crazy that sounds.

Style, maybe you know.

There's that panel with Taskmaster and X-23 (in Wolverine suit).

Taskmaster says something about having "fought the original Wolverine, but not this pretender", to which Laura pretends to be disgusted (bet she got wet, they are all like that) and responds she's not interested.

Okay, no more pervy stuff. I'm behaving. Back on topic.

While we can explain him not remembering about battling Laura in her own series (because of his condition - he forgets stuff, as his fighting skills overwrite the data in his brain, whatever, it was mentioned in both his solo comic and Avengers Academy, so no point in denying it, no matter how stupid it is... goes against his canonical history as well, but I digress)... when the hell did he fight Logan?

Did I miss some comic?

Or, at best, it's some untold tale stuff... and, at worst, writer not doing his homework and editors greenlighting the book to get published without examining the script first, as they used to do back in the good old days?

Styyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyle

I mean this panel:

That is supposed to say Duggan.

And the in-universe reason for Captain Krakoa is that Cyclops death was too public. The Quiet Council requires him to be Captain Krakoa when not outside of Krakoa or the X-Men treehouse etc.

Yeah. It definitely feels like writers not doing their homework. And the worst part is, we're not even getting good stories out of it. I'm willing to forgive continuity errors if the narrative payoff is worth it.

But we're living in Duggan's world now. 🙁
