If a similar thread exists, feel free to merge this one with that one. I'm on my mobile (and on the subway) and trying to look through pages and pages of this sub-forum is daunting.
An ad for X-Men: Blue popped up on my browser. I'd heard of the book but had no idea what it was about. The article about it said that the book was approaching its end (it's on #36 atm). This team is composed of the original, teenage X-Men displaced in time.
I've stayed away from X-Men - and Marvel in general - because it's all so depressing. (I blame Brian Michael Bendis with his New Avengers and "no more mutants" bullshit.) Idecided to check this book out and all I say is that it was a fun read. Evoked the early days of the X-Men with some obvious differences. But the old villains are still around. Their personalities are perfect, but more fleshed out than in the 60's.
I'm looking forward to continuing to read this series. As I said, this book is coming to an end. These are supposedly the O5 from the 616 timeline but I have my doubts. They've changed too drastically for them to ever fit in.
I have two ideas to make them work. One, they forget what they learned in their future but the older versions realize their capabilities and adopt them in the present. For example, Beast now has some kind of mystic abilities but it would be interesting for modern day Beast to realize what he'd forgotten and start using those powers again. Ditto Angel's wings.
The other idea is that they return to another timeline and they get new adventures and don't forget anything.
I don't know what Marvel plans but I hope they pick the light-headed tone in the modern era.
