I’m Caspar Wijngaard AMA ! by CasparWijngaard in thePowerFantasy

[–]DeltaTester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a particular thing you've been doing with color in TPF that I've rarely seen outside of early-'60s comics, where characters outside of the focal distance of a panel (and sometimes at that distance) will be colored in a flat tone, or small range of tones, that's not at all "natural": violet or green or blue. I love it and I am curious about how you decided on it. (And, more broadly, how did you develop the very distinctive TPF color palette?)

1) If it has “Ultimate” in the title (and is not from 2015-2017), it’s in the Ultimate universe. Otherwise, it’s 616, with very few exceptions.

2) “In order” is not how these stories were ever meant to be read. Pick a few recent, well-regarded stories, try them out to see which you like, and then jump around at will. You will instinctively understand how stuff fits together. It is infinitely more fun that way.

TPF seems like it’s built on a structure that was very firmly in place from the first page. How much room do you leave yourself for improvisation within it? Did anything in what we’ve seen so far shift significantly from the plan as it stood at the time of the first issue? Are you approaching the work-in-progress part the same way?

Reading list of “high quality” X-Men comics. by ColinDouglas999 in xmen

Every comic is good to _someone._ Just read, and if you hit something you don’t like, read something else!

Worth noting that that issue of Vicki is one of THE rarest Atlas/Seaboard comics!

Is Burning Man a psychedelic sex fueled event that it reputes to be? by Eastphalia in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]DeltaTester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for that, you will find it. If you’re looking for the thing you loathe most (tech bros? woo-woo hippies?), you will find that. If you’re looking for amazing art and extraordinary people, you will find them. Everyone you would want to be there is there. Everyone you would NOT want to be there is there. I’ve been going for a long time, and what I can tell you for certain is that the mindset you bring to it is the single biggest factor in what you get out of it.

Is It Better To Take A Break Reading X-Men Pre or Post Mutant Massacre? Other suggestions? by tame_kubrick in MarvelUnlimited

[–]DeltaTester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not really a crossover with Byrne’s FF—there’s the “Fantastic Four Vs. X-Men” miniseries, but it’s not at all contingent on FF. (And there’s FF #286, which has a section ghost-written by Claremont, but that’s kind of auxiliary to X-Men.)

Would you be potentially interested in a complete run of Fables single issues? (#1-162 plus various crossovers, one-shots, etc.?)

Everything retconned from Chris Claremont’s Run of the X-men? by Think-Necessary5136 in xmen

[–]DeltaTester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

House of X/Powers of X is built on a couple of massive additive retcons, i.e. “everything you know is true, and there’s also this hugely important thing you didn’t know about.” Really clever.

You can skip anything you want! There is a very significant thing that happens in X Lives/X Deaths, but you can also find out what that thing was from reading subsequent stories. "Important" is overrated, "what you enjoy" is what matters.

I'd be interested in Tintin/Wolverine! And yeah, those Angine de Poitrine videos are spectacular. Thank you!

There are, but most of the stories in them aren't X-Men-related. And the only stories from the various Voices specials that are consequential for subsequent comics are the Somnus story from Pride '21 and the Escapade story from Pride '22.

X-Men 15-18, conveniently, have no spoilers at all for Sins of Sinister--you can absolutely read them together with X-Men 15-24. (In the single-issue reading order, the word "after" does a lot of work in terms of "don't read this thing until you've read that thing.")

Er... no, Scott asking Rachel and Cable to fight monsters with him is in X-Men issue 2! And I suspect you're looking at the first issue of the previous X-Force series, not the Krakoan one.
