If Iceman is going to work, do a better version of the Spider Friends story they did a few years ago. Maybe bring Firestar back after the events of Secret Empire to talk about her double mutation, since New Tian is destroyed. Also find out how Mondo came back from the dead.

Wait Firestar has a double mutation? I'm so behind. What can she do now?

Yeah, one of my problems with wanting to check out marvel's current X-titles is the continuity is a dumpster fire. What isn't wildly confusing is dumb beyond belief.
Ice man was my third try and I didn't make it longer then three issues with any of them.

yeah, this happened in X-Men: Blue when Firestar, Toad, Marrow, and Wolfbane worked with Emma Frost to capture the past X-Men.

I confess, I haven't read a Marvel Comic in (counts) many a year... but nothing in that sentence sounds like it should be correct.
Clearly, things have happened since I lost interest.

Pretend it's an Untold X-Men story. The White Queen has lured Wolfsbane to her Academy, but it's a trap for the X-Men.

Yeah, part of why I've read so few X-titles is the trainwreck that their continuity has become.

So, what are people thinking about Bendis moving to DC?
Not a fan myself, so as long as he stays away from the few DC titles I still read, he can do his own thing.

While he can be hit and miss, back when I was reading Marvel, a big reason for that was because of Bendis and the books he was working on. The Avengers could never get me interested before Disassembled, but after that, I was reading all of them, while my previously unbreakable love of the X-Men was fading fast. While I haven't really read anything from Marvel in many a year, I still get the impression that he, well, had done everything there was to do at Marvel, and what's really left for him to write?
Creatively speaking, moving to DC is probably the best thing for him.
From the point of view of the comics landscape, this is a massive coo for DC, from the outside looking in, Marvel (comics that is) can't seem to catch a break. If Bendis leaves, and with the likes of Hickman already having done so, how many more big name creators can the House of Ideas afford to lose?
How much longer before the Mouse steps in? Disney are already outsourcing comics to IDW...

Marvel could do comics as well, with Incredibles 2 coming next year we might get a continuation from the Boom series that never got resolved. As for IDW, they're doing Ducktales 2017 and Tangled as well as the more classic Disney comics. Marvel hasn't done any good all ages comics since Spidey, plus their Marvel animated universe comics are just adaptations of TV episodes. DC does better as they do original stories based on their DCAU shows. Has anyone read the Harley and Ivy meets Betty and Veronica series yet? I liked it, even the bit of Reggie dressed like Nolan's Joker in #2 gets a nod. I like to see another crossover with modern Batman and Scooby-Doo. Did the Supernatural/Scooby crossover aired yet?

Picked up a bunch of pre-Moore Swamp Thing comics. I forgot how much I missed the days before he was champion of the green and was just a monster.
Good stuff! Also surprised at how short the iconic Wein/Wrightston run was.

Jason Aaron's Thor may be the best thing marvel is doing right now.
The realm war arc is dragging, but the rest is just pure Thor and you can see that that's all Aaron wants to do and it is pretty glorious. So nice when you find a writer that isn't doing comics to audition for hollywood or shoehorning a character into a story, but just came to comics because there is a character they love.

His Dr. Strange was similarly fantastic - Simultaneously renewing the concepts, and expanding on the mythos by introducing lots of fun new characters (Baron Kaoz being the absolute best.)
