Just had the realization it would be a perfect film & filmmaker to set up Magneto in the MCU. Coogler is one of, if not THE, best directors working in the MCU and seeing his take on Magnus would be incredible. There’s a lot of room to do a story about Black Panther/Magneto/Namor as leaders, and you could even throw Dr. Doom in there as well (I doubt that would happen though).

There were reports that BP3 would set up a major mutant and it was theorized to be Storm, but now we know that not to be true. Denzel Washington seems to be cast already and would make an incredible Magneto but doesn’t quite fit the age I would expect.

Am I reaching? Admittedly I know more about the X-Men than Black Panther but I think Magnus would be an incredible villain or foil to T’Challa & Namor. But if Coogler & Co. wanted the finale to their trilogy to be about a more canonically Black Panther villain I’d understand that too.

In issue #231 of Fantastic Four it says Byrne takes the F4 “Back to the Basics”. Why did they/he feel like that was needed? What was the thought process or motive behind this?

I just finished The Possession of Franklin Richards Epic Collection which directly precedes Byrne and I quite enjoyed it actually. I really liked Moench’s writing towards the end and feel like Midnight F4 will take inspiration from this brief run. Am I alone in that? It’s not to the level of Kirby, but the Ebon Seeker plot was as close as I could hope for the era.

I haven’t seen a single “Pro” anyone ad, other than 1 Wesley Bell whose entire ad was complaining about Cori Bush. I’ve seen countless ads that are just anti-Cori Bush, not even promoting anyone else. Why??

Is there anyone else experiencing this? For the record, I don’t have cable so these are all commercials from streaming services. The Wesley Bell commercial just recently came on, but for weeks I had exclusively been advertised anti-Cori Bush ads without promoting anyone else. I don’t believe I’ve even seen any pro-Cori Bush ads.

Seems weird to me, but just wanted to see if I’m the only one experiencing this.

You could throw in Marvel Team Up or anything like that as well. I’m currently reading Amazing Spider-Man chronologically and am nearing the start of all the spinoffs (just finished #129). Would I be able to read all of the series by themselves? Or is there a certain timeline or web (no pun intended) of interconnectivity I should be paying attention to? Sort of like Claremont’s X-Men run, where the reading order requires jumping from New Mutants/Uncanny X-Men/X-Factor/etc.

Have been debating on what omnis to pick up, namely Web of Vol. 2 & JMD Spectacular. Both seem cool but not sure what I’ll need to read beforehand.

I just finished Claremont’s Inferno and loved it. But I see Madelyn Pryor has scattered appearances after this, and was trying to track down what that means and what to read without finding any spoilers. Very difficult.

I see she appears in Krakoa Era Hellions, could I just start the Krakoa Era and be fine? Or is there anything else I should read with her in it prior (no pun intended) to Krakoa?

I just finished reading Inferno (incredible, loved it) and am now wondering when she returns. I can see she does from what I’ve seen online, but I’m trying to avoid spoilers and JUST find out what issues she returns in/what to read if I’m interested in her storyline.

Are there any stories centered around her or her return after this? Sort of like what happened to Magik I assume.

I’m ecstatic that his mindset is the same as mine, in that a top 5 pick is a necessity for this team, but him saying this pre-draft just seems a bit desperate to me. If the deal was there, he’d take it and he’s all but saying that. But the Blues don’t have the assets.

With Kyrou gone, the Blues don’t really have a winger or high end forward to trade currently. Kyrou and 3 1sts could MAYBE fetch a top 5 pick, but I just don’t see the assets there for a trade now. I hope I’m wrong. I hope someone can reply and say “actually in ___ year this team traded a top 5 pick for ___ and the Blues have that”. But I don’t recall the last time a top 5 pick was even moved.

I hope I’m wrong. I hope I see a trade after I post this. But I just don’t see it. Most likely the Blues either trade for a player (Knies or Pettersson) or use all 4 picks. I don’t love either player (higher on Petey) but most likely I see the Blues using all 4 and it being a similar draft to the Bruins in 2015 or Blues in 2023. A bunch of middling talent. Hopefully next year they can earn a top 5 pick.

I love reading and it’s slowly becoming my favorite hobby currently, but I feel like I hit a wall at 5-6 issues of just digesting so much story. I simply couldn’t imagine reading a whole omnibus in a day, it would be too much to fully process. But everyone’s brain works differently.

I used to read 3 a day, as I feel that allows me to fully process each issue. But when it’s a larger story or arc, I can push through all of it (why I’ve been doing 5-6 recently). But I have a lot on my backlog right now, so I’m curious what everyone else pushes for or averages daily.

I used to have a routine of 3 issues a day, 1 movie, and 1-2 episodes of a show and that’s absolutely all I could digest storywise. But I’m very curious to see what other people have to say. What’s your routine or reading limit?

I’ve logged over 1200+ comics on League of Comic Geeks and just realized Bilquis Evely is the only non-male artist I’ve read more than 1-2 issues of their work. She’s great, and Peach Momoko’s X-Men looks cool but I haven’t gotten to it yet.

There have been waves of female writers and editors since the 70’s with trailblazers like Louise Simonson & Ann Nocenti. But I don’t seem to know if any women got the chance to do extended runs on works like a lot of their male counterparts.

Who are some of your favorites? Are there any pioneers or trailblazers that don’t get enough recognition? Would love to learn more!

I have a XXL Fantastic Four book that is a prized possession of mine, a centerpiece of my collection. Adore the book. But I have no idea where to put it other than my closet right now because I have no space.

It’s too large for a shelf, at least mine, and very heavy. It’s too expensive and nice to just be a “coffee table” book and eventually get splash damage or something on it. I have a table I’m considering placing it on, but I’ll have to redecorate a lot to incorporate it.

How do you guys show off your XXL’s? I see lots of shelfies on here (jealous of all of them) but never see any Taschen. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the “regular” sized Taschen’s on any shelf, as those are also a little oversized than omnis. Very curious and looking for some inspiration/ideas! No bad ideas here.

To be specific, I’ll be reading the Messiah Trilogy Omnibus and and the Gillen Uncanny Omnibus (maybe AvX as well) which released around that time, as well as planning on reading the Krakoa Era when I’m able to collect it all. Would Remender’s X-Force Omnibus be considered essential or important for those stories?
