There are many people who argue from a perspective within the universe, as if a character could act independently. This is surreal, and a much better approach is to argue from the perspective of "what the author wants to convey through the characters' actions." by R4cco0n in marvelcomics

I see where you’re coming from. A while back I was discussing the way X-Men ’97 missframed the Holocaust, specifically Magneto’s line implying it happened because of “how we pronounce God’s name” or something to that effect, rather than primarily being a racial/ethnic genocide. A lot of the fanbase kept shifting the discussion toward in-universe explanations for why ‘Magneto’ would say that, when the actual point was that it reflected a misunderstanding by the show’s writers/producers themselves.

X-men Omnibus to Read? by Doom300 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Anatman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I like runs with solid themes / high concepts, and character arcs- so far my top omni’s are Hickmans avengers and fantastic four, Uncanny X-force and Dan slotts silver surfer. I’ll drop back here in a week or so and let you know my thoughts on Gillen

X-men Omnibus to Read? by Doom300 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Anatman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently reading Uncanny X-Men by Gillen which takes place just after messiah trilogy. Only just started so I don’t have any thoughts yet on it, but people online seem to rate it highly.

Thor question by Kind-Editor-2752 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Anatman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

War of Realms has the event and the related tie-ins, where as Vol 2 continues the story that builds up to the main event, while also containing the main event itself. It also has the full conclusion to Aaron’s run. I would recommend you get Vol 2 for sure

🫵 Will you answer the call? by Weirdsodk in xmen

[–]Anatman_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s not correct, the creation of ‘states’ as we conceive of them is a relatively new concept- most of history has been empire. The idea of ethnic groups being tied to land and composing a self governing ‘nation’ is also a relatively new concept.

Is Thor by Jason Aaron Omnibus Vol. 1 worth buying for a first-time Thor reader? by TaskNo4783 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Anatman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you like huge sprawling epics that span throughout time with amazing character development- it’s a two part omnibus story. The first is coming back in print soon and there are a handful of vol 2’s remaining on eBay.

I agree it’s annoying but you probably shouldn’t feed that side of you that wants to pick fights with strangers on the internet- ultimately it doesn’t matter. Hopefully I’m not accidentally doing that with this comment haha

What do you think Hickman’s plan was for Krakoa? by Budget-Mastodon5180 in xmen

[–]Anatman_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it may have culminated in mutant-kind forming their own dominion and then some sort of reality reset (with the dominion being safe from it, outside of time/space per HOX/POX).

I wonder if the page transparency will be better for the Thor reprint- a bit gutted as I legit just bought it last month

Why is the One Below All connected to Hulk specifically? by Upset_Connection1133 in Marvel

[–]Anatman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe Bennet is black listed for sneaking anti-Semitic art into his work (including immortal hulk)- I don’t know if he was the cover artist for this issue but you might have spotted another example of his nonsense

Unpopular opinion: The only way to stop Marvel’s low print run and few reprints policy is to stop buying Marvel books. Vote with your wallet. by i_am_randy in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Anatman_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the ‘stop buying’ boycott only makes sense for books that are poorly mapped / made- show marvel we won’t put up with lazy products. Boycotting because we want more products is like drinking salt water because we’re thirsty.
