Marvel's Bold New X-Men Strategy, The Same But More
Marvel Comics are utilizing a bold new strategy for their X-Men relaunch. Tom Brevoort is going to continue directly out of the Krakoan Era but just do a bunch more. The initial list of 9 new X-Men comics seemed far too big. But Brevoort recently disclosed there will be another 3 or 4 series during X-Men From the Ashes. That's not the only insanity Brevoort revealed during an interview with AIPT for X-Men Monday. Wes and Dok breakdown Brevoort's recent AIPT interview and explain why this is all worse than we initially feared. Marvel Comics bold new X-Men strategy, the same but more.

    So, Marvel has already oversaturated the X-Men relaunch before it even started (July is still 2 months away) and is making the current plot thread pointless on every front before it even ended since the status quo for mutants in July will be the same as the one at the start of Fall of X... That was about an entire year ago. What kind of dimwitted marketing strategy is this. The current readers are wasting their time and money on a story whose conclusion has been spoiled by the relaunch's previews and the ones who might be jumping into the relauch after dipping out during Krakoa will be welcomed back by the same overwhelming amounts of comic runs that has trademarked Dawn of X, which was the first part of Krakoa... Nearly five years ago.

    Honest question from someone with very sparse X-men knowledge. Is there any world where they could do some hard reset before Krakoa? Like everyone is woken up or pulled out of a coma/spell that had been placed on them due to something like Mephisto, an Omega level telepath or alien tech in control of anti-mutant human factions? Anyone that was missing or dead could be explained as having escaped or not been caught by whatever caused the 'dream' (lacking a better term). And then the horrendous character changes could be explained away as whatever caused it all to have been screwing with their minds/souls and changing them? I'm not deluded enough to think it would ever actually happen, but I am honestly curious if such a thing COULD be done in the setting as a way to get rid of the events while still saying they sorta happened. Rather than just memory hole them.

    See, here's the thing. The X-Men are good together as members of a super hero team in Marvel Comics. But just like the Fantastic Four, the members of that team of super heroes just aren't good enough to carry a monthly on-going comic book series without failing after 12 issues or so. With the principal exceptions of a few characters who can work well as a solo operator, none of the characters on the team's roster, including the team leader, can hold down his or her own book unless it's a 4-issue limited series. In the case of the Avengers, the members of that super hero team individually have much more success selling well and being popular enough to have their own comic book title. The more obscure characters aside, you can see very few well-known super heroes get their own title and even much more far between are the super hero team comic books that do well without building the team up with good advertising and good marketing. Plus, if you add the problem of a lack of smart writing because everything is limited to virtue signaling for identity politics, comic book stories have become very bad with stupid portrayals of characters. There is no more talking points about anything. No thought-provoking stuff because Political Correctness overpowers everything and activists are way too sensitive, being offended by anyone who disagrees with them on anything. How are there supposed to be good comics when you have dumb writers like that? You can't. If people want characters who are normally B-List or secondary to finally get a fair shot and have a good chance at becoming A-List, the company has to start firing these Disney activists who will never touch on certain subjects. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how much they try to push a character to get their own comic book. If the characters are held back because of P.C. police, and if nothing in the plot can be allowed unless it's sanitized and commercially safe, nothing will ever get an opportunity to shine. All because people now have a thin skin and want to tip toe around other people's triggers.

    Speaking of Lee Harvey Oswald, the reason he came back to the United States was he learned the USSR wasn’t the paradise its supporters touted it as. He thought they would appreciate his skills and give him some elite job, but instead they put him to work in some random factory where he was bored out of his mind. Thinking about it, it would have been interesting if they’d had some mutants move back to their home countries (ones who hadn’t declared war on the “human world”, I mean) because they decided they didn’t like Krakoa, but it’s too late now. The talk about the mutants distributing black market drugs reminds me of the country in Hunter X Hunter that was distributing an illegal and highly addictive drug (I think the country was called NGL and the drug was called D2).

    From the Ashes seems more like a tactic from the days when Marvel put X-Men on the back burner because Disney didn't own the movie rights. I think the actual talented writers out there saw the shaft job Jonathan Hickman got and said 'no thanks' when Marvel called so they were forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel for creators.

    Unless something unique is in play, I would assume Capullo will be on a mini-series or an arc of a storyline. That would be the way of the land for the last several years with using someone of his caliber. Nobody should be surprised if someone wants to work with people he or she is comfortable with. It happens all the time in other lines of work, and whether said people are perceived as successful or not can be irrelevant. I think you are asking too much for recognition of legal or illegal status. Remember Superman did the same thing, it didn't really work, and DC just ignored it. WTF20.

    We have to keep repeating, "The definition of insanity is..." because Marvel and DC Comics keeps repeating the EXACT SAME MISTAKES. The writers and editors' refusal to LEARN from their mistakes, has turned the companies into Atari 2.0s, American pioneers who are now forgotten but for logos seen on retro products. American comic book fans have QUIT READING American comics in favor of manga and manhwa (Korean comics), whose writers still make "Entertain my readers," a goal- Marvel and DC Comics' narcissistic writers have "Entertain myself- and ONLY myself- with a Mary Sue self-insert who's like me, but absolutely perfect in every way," as a goal instead.

The best xmen books probably can't even get a tenth of its market and that is marvel/dc core audience.

    While slice of life stuff can be done well and add to a character, it should not be the main focus of a superhero comic. For instance, a lot of Spider-Man stories and Robin stories (either Dick Grayson or Tim Drake) have had slice of life stuff, but there were still plenty of superhero elements (battling villains, investigating crimes, etc.). It’s one thing to have a change of pace issue showing what the heroes do on their “day off” and another to have the slice of life stuff take up more than 50% of each issue of what is supposed to be an action series.
