It's colossus.

And Marvel isn't starting over, this is all story driven, and what seperates the teams is a story based moral compass decision based on using mutants as weapons, especially children.

DC on the other hand, is full on time wave reboot/reconfiguration of the universe. Two entirely different things. One's an actual starting over for the entire line, and the other is the culmination of 10 years of storytelling into an event that no one cares about.

On the other hand, I may start picking up the X-Title that'll be using jubilee, but otherwise I'm meh on the whole idea. I do like that it finally came to a head about cyclops using children as weapons and wolverine finally stepping up to say no, that's a line you don't cross, but this is a story that should have happened ages ago. Logan has let it slide too often to just finally take a stand against it now with Idie. Whereas before he let it slide with X-23 (her choice, though really she doesn't know how to say no to spec ops missions), Rahne Sinclair(again it was her choice), among god knows who else from the academy X run and others. But wolverine takes a stand because of Idie? Another new recruit, one he barely knows, one who is probably just as damaged as the others mentioned mentally, and yet the little 14 year old girl he doesn't even know other than buying her a doll once and giving her ice cream he's getting all defensive about?

I guess I can understand it to a degree with this being the straw that broke the camel's back, but seriously, when did Logan lose his balls? He wouldn't stand up for his daughter, half assed it for his son, but a girl he barely even knows he gets upset that cyclops uses her to kill a bunch of humans.

I can let kitty, jubilee, and whoever else slide as they were pre-memories, and pre-him knowing he had kids for the paternal instincts to kick in truly, but this randomness is kind of weird for him. Well, unless they pull some entire schtick of him empathising with Idie because he grew up thinking himself a monster, as X-23 and Daken did too, and wants to stop that at an early age for Idie, but that's yet to come up. At least not directly, it's only insinuated with the ice cream and doll when he hears her say she's come to peace with being a monster.

I don't know, I'll give it a few more issues still, but right now the incomprehensible story work, and lack of defining the whys is leaving the story lacking. I just hope they justify these choices instead of just leaving it to reader assumptions.

Magma's been flying for awhile now. Some idea as how the human torch could fly. She's been doing it in the new title randomly.
