Ray's 54th DCU/GrayHaven Megathread - Before WatchmOOMPH!!!

[Dark Sasha]

Look I want to buy X-force but when Fantomas was talking about the World I thought he was talking about the WORLD!

[Ray G.]

UXF is, consistently, the best X-Book on the stands, and, possibly, the best Marvel book. Remender and Dean White are killing on it.

I have to imagine you were a huge fan of the Magneto issue, Ray.

Scarlet Spider is pretty damn awesome. Great art, and I'm starting to get sucked in. I really hope it takes off the way Venom did. I wanna see Yost continue to build-up that world he's establishing. The last issue, with Kaine taking on members of the Assassins Guild, was just damn brutal. Loved it.

The Magneto issue was phenomenal. My issue with UXF is nothing based on quality, but the fact that it's SO dense with X-continuity. As someone who isn't a hardcore X-men fan, it gets close to losing me at times. Like the recent arc was pretty hard to get through. But most of the stories are fantastic, and it's definitely safe on my list.

You do know that Fantomex is an intentional homage to Fantomas and Danger Diabolik right?

That was one of the best issues I've ever seen from Billy Tan.

I agree that Uncanny X-Force is great, but it's not the best X-Book in my opinion. Pretty damn close though. The Magneto issue was fantastic.

The Otherworld arc however was atrocious. Mainly because of the art.

That's pretty cool that Scarlet Spider is using the Assassins Guild. Gambit's not guest starring though, is he? It'd be nice to see them show up in something that's NOT focusing on Gambit.

New X-men
Uncanny X-Force (Remender)

The best the X titles have ever been.

Nope, and he didn't the last time Yost used em in that X-Force story either.

What did you think of Planet X, Jason?

[Howlett]

Nope, and he didn't the last time Yost used em in that X-Force story either.

I actually don't even remember them showing up in X-Force. But still, nicer to see them outside the x-verse once in a while.

Nope. No Gambit. Basically, we find out that Kaine killed someone the Guild was targeting, and collected the bounty himself. They sent a group after him, and Kaine pretty brutally took them apart. He ended up making a deal with Belladonna that he'll make up for it by taking on one mission for her to be named at her choosing.

That was one of the best issues I've ever seen from Billy Tan.

I think a lot of the credit for the way that issue turned out goes to Dean White. He's the book's unsung hero.

The Magneto issue was phenomenal. My issue with UXF is nothing based on quality, but the fact that it's SO dense with X-continuity. As someone who isn't a hardcore X-men fan, it gets close to losing me at times. Like the recent arc was pretty hard to get through.

See, I don't think it's near as dense on x-continuity as the previous run. I loved Kyle and Yost's run, but they lost me a few times, and I tend to know my stuff (I think).

Sounds interesting. Glad to hear it's lasting as long as it appears to be if the solicitations are to be believed.
