    Benny: "So what happens in Dead X-Men?"
    Sal: "I'm sorry do you actually think I'm going to explain a story plot succinctly? You must be new here!" 😂

    I'm with Sal on this whole thing but if you like a specific x Men writer then read all of the books from that person. Duggen wrote Uncanny Avengers, Iron Man, Fall of House of X, and X-Men. So as a Duggen fan with what he's done with X-Men, those would be what I care about. Just pick and choose, it doesn't matter at the end since it's all going back to issue #1s this August.

      I agree thigh I do think marvel could've built more hype around the end of krokoa if they stopped the other books and just rise and fall weekly. Do similar release to hoxpox

    It is becoming increasingly fustrating watching Benny try to argue with Sal when he clearly has not read or not closely read the material they are discussing. I’m truly not trying to be rude, but it is very difficult to listen/watch a show when one host has to constantly correct the other about what is actually happening in the comic. One of the great things about Sal and Comic pop is that while he is giving great insight, he is also able to give important context about the character history and whats happening to the artists/ writers . While Benny on the other hand seems to not fully digest the material they are discussing.

      I think it hasalot to do with the amount of comics he reads. He's said before he reads tons of comics and flips through most of them. Whereas sal only reads and reviews what he likes for the most part. So it leads to benny not absorbing what he sees and just flips through

    I like how everyone agrees Benny is the problem here not Fall of X lol. Fall of X isn’t an event it’s a status quo, just like how Dawn of DC isn’t an event. That would be like trying to follow a main plot through all DC books even though they are telling their own stories. Benny just has got to stop ranting about fall of x. Dudes making it seem like it’s impossible to read

    Okay so usually I’d disagree with Benny on FoX but this concluding chapter, like the X-Men Forever/Rise&Fall/X-Men/Iron Man 5+ concurrent series is actually a massive pain in the ass to read.
    The actual status quo of post Hellfire Gala was nowhere as difficult as Benny was making it seem but right now he absolutely has a point. Cause Marvel is really cracking that whip and saying put 2 years worth of story into 6 months

    Benny is not that hard. It’s laid out in the back of the books and the FoX is a year long chapter of krakoa. Not everything will be explained in other titles.

  • @JayStorm199
    @JayStorm199 2 місяці тому +2

    Dawn of X, Reign of X, Destiny of X, and Fall of X are all initiatives as part of the Krakoa era with different status quos and Fall of X is merely the end point of it all.
    I disagree with Ben here, I think it's mostly because you haven't been reading it but i don't think this should've been made into full event. I recommend the british trio (X-men: Red, Immortal X-men, Legion of X).

    I really feel for you Benny, i’ve been collecting the trades to the whole thing over the last three or four years i’m two weeks away from getting inferno and have been buying the Dawn of X compilations on my way there i just ordered Reign of X 11&12 and next week i’m getting the last two 13&14 before getting inferno and Batman Contagion (to finish my Batman no mans land run up) and so i’m still buying the trades in pairs starting Trials of X up to 10 the fallowing week they only printed Trials up to 12 out of 14 in english or it flips to Destiny of X but we’re not getting english prints. From there i have to buy the individual trades add in captain marvel and invincible iron man (a few volumes but i think i’m just going to get the whole runns if i like them i mean for iron man it seems to be the first three volumes but C.M. Is volumes 9-10) still don’t know how many of each series it will take to get to Fall of X Rise of X but the last Two Trials books have overlap with the ones you’d need anyway so i’m just stopping those at vol 10. Then i have to get X lives of wolverine, Sins of Sinister, Dark Web, A.X.E. Judgment day, and Devils Reign at least the X-men tie in book maybe Empyer as well and then figure out wich order to put them on the shelf in.
    TLDR: I’m with you Benny 👍

    They should have cancelled all the x-books, and done Fall Of X, a 12 part series, like House/Powers that wrapped up everything. I expect they didn’t because they wanted the sales, but ironically I would have bought 12 fall of x issues, as it is I’ve bought nothing.

    I definitely recommend reading the 1st issue of Dead X-Men!
    It actually is a crucial part of the Fall story, some really cool stuff happens & you get to see timelines that we missed out in due to the Fall coming earlier than expected.
    But ya, after that 1st issue they somehow made Dead X-Men obsolete and gave you no reason to keep reading unless you just wanted to go along for the ride. Everything after issue 1 is absolutely skippable.

    Feels like a story line affecting a large group of characters rather then an event which usually involves a smaller group of key players and then it affects others as well, reminds me of Blackest Night of here’s the leaders of the corps but here’s tie ins of how the emotionally connected dead risen and the whole world deals with that. Probably would be best with a number system of parts then here’s other parts of the world dealing with the happening

I've been personally lobbying to get Tiff in on the post krakoa breakdown planned with Blerd W/O Fear because she is one of the best when it comes to Xmen coverage and actually reading the books and offering great takes.

Is DC Infinite and its reading library still a thing? I mainly read DC anyway and would rather pay one low price a month and save some hard copies for the indie books that I find interesting
