I dropped it and then some positive talk in these threads got me back into it and you're right that it's good now. Abnett was born to write big-scale space opera comics.

You know, I get why Kitty can't be revived for narrative reasons. But logistically I'm just like... "But why?"
Cause the process of the Five should work just as well as it should for a Human as a mutant because at the end of the day it's just one bullshit magical gene that separates them. So why the fuck couldn't they make a person?

Wait, so it isn't that they choose not to revive non-mutants but that they can't? That's a total cop-out if so
I haven't read the issue yet, but I thought
the only people they could revive were people that Prof. X had uploaded to cerebro. So I don't see why he wouldn't have Kitty, since it wasn't until Krakoa did they know she wasn't a mutant. did they explicitly say no humans could be revived?

say what you will about Joshua Williamson, but the dude is COMMITTED
No need to get overanalytical with the Marauders situation.
The only thing made clear is that they can't revive Kate because it isn't working like normal. There's no insinuation it's because she's human or that their cerebro system has become a plot hole. They are simply trying the standard mutant resurrection system and it isn't working cuz /shrug. We'll be certain to find out more soon.
We all know the reason is that the real Kate Pryde has escaped from The Hole and is trying to stop the proliferation of pod people.
I'm guessing he didn't want to badmouth someone who still might be buddies with other people.
Seems more like he deleted it because of the idiots in the comments defending SGM

Glad to see Saladin Ahmed is continuing to address the plotpoints that Bendis refused to clear up.

Turns out the more time you spend away from your original universe, the more it effects your memories.
see that's the easy read, but, here's the thing
so obviously, this is a Tom King book, and as such, the 9-panel grid is a huge fucking deal; when it pops up in this issue, it's to signal that Adam is trapped, having to defend himself from a murder, and from the war crimes that may have inspired said murder, in reality, by design, it's here throughout most of the book, it's just that the panels are grouped together in blocks of 2, 3, 6, or a full-page splash combining all 9
however, there are some pages where the pattern breaks, and the grid turns from a 3*3 to a 2*3 and guess what they have in common? that's right: FAMILY
FAMILY
all but one of the pages in the 6-panel grid directly involve Adam's daughter; that tells me that, if there's a way out of this fucked up situation of having to negotiate the gaps between the lies you and the world around you tell about the fucked up shit you do overseas and the reality of said fucked up shit, it's going to be about her, it's going to be about making the world better for your kids, that kinda stuff
wider thematic lens now, Strange Adventures is of a trilogy with Batman/Catwoman, that's two books about romance and the past; my theory on that is that Tom King's thesis is gonna be along the line of "love is the only thing that's really all it's hyped up to be"

Is there any point to reading the Williamson bit if you haven't been reading the series? Like, I skipped the first half of the WW special just fine.
No idea, I havent read it. Just saw the article on BC will all the crazy stuff in the issue.
it's one part recap, one part celebration, and one part setup for the new story, which makes it far easier an onboarding issue than WW #750
It's just a bunch of standalone stories? The first part is whatever boring thing Williamson is doing next, then there's a Johns/Kolins Wally era story, a Wolfman/Rossmo Mirror Master story, aWilliamson/Marquez Jay Garrick story, and then the end I guess ties up the dumb Lobdell thing? It really wasn't confusing though at all, and I haven't bought or read the book since the Grodd arc from a year or so ago.
Thank you. I wanted to see what life was like if I couldn't go on era. I didn't browse it at all. Life was not much different in terms of my time usage, but I missed talking to everyone here.
Awh. I really do appreciate you all. I wasn't anything to do with this thread that had me take a week off. I was just browsing to kill time, and I wanted to see if it was a me problem or specifically the site. It's a me problem, as I expected. haha
I meant in terms of how I use my time! I disliked not talking with everyone in this thread specifically, or else I wouldn't have come back!
Whoa! I like that design, even if it does resemble the Challenger a little in the front.

Hello new member, Azio
Welcome to the comic community here on ERA. What kind of books do you enjoy? Have you heard about Stjepan Sejics lesbian friendship, love and romance bdsm book Sunstone? You should read it
I'm not personally ordering via IST (shipping to New Zealand is rough) but at least that gives a time frame of where I can expect them! Thanks for sharing 😊
But also, April 😢
The new Batmobile fucks. I love it, best since the West one.
Great issue. I'm liking Pyro a lot more than I expected to and of course Emma continues to be the best. I was kind of surprised to still feel sad about Kate. Her failed resurrection just drove it home. I can't wait to see how it all comes together.
