The Extinction Team

The M6P: Marvel 616 Politics

I tell you, these guys are reusing ideas like crazy. Sure Krakoa was a great and refreshing era (if you like dying and coming back to life and the X-Men finally not caring what the world thinks about them and taking their rightful place among the gods, ruling with an iron fist and defeating the crazy machines that are simply made to protect humanity). But this 'up from the ashes' era-thingy? I mean could you get any more unoriginal? I mean we have Cyclops and Hope and Namor and Emma and Danger and Magik and the same people being on the most powerful team that is going to save the X-Men from extinction. AND they are bringing back the old writers and artists to do this again? Man, I tell you...just running out of ideas. San Francisco and Utopia and Sinister and that Celestial that we didn't know what it was doing for so long. No, I know what you are thinking--not THAT Celestial. I'm pretty sure they are ignoring that one for the rest of time. It just seems like they are retreading the same things over and over again. Doesn't it feel that way to you too? (Dude, this is a retro-review show.) What do you mean? You read and reviewed X-Men #1.) Well, of course they are going to re-number them. Their not stupid. They want to sell as many as they can, man!! (No, you're not getting it. The 'Uncanny' X-Men #1 that we read and reviewed is from 2012.) Oh!!...I...um...I knew that. I just mean, the...uh...the new stuff is SO similar to the old stuff that we reviewed the old stuff...and well....(let's just get this over with.)
