I think it's more like positioning him as the guy who'd rather write his own characters than the usual ones.

Vulcan is getting a 12-issue arc in X-Men.

I must just hate the X-Men. Maybe that's not true, I liked Morrison's, I kinda like Whedon's, and I liked Claremont's (years ago not now Claremont). I really like Brubaker, but this series sucked so much like late 90s X-Men stuff.

He made the 3rd Summers brother a murdering madman (see Bru, now they can never team up). 3rd Summers brother? You know what, the stuff I like about his Cap, the fact that he seemed like a huge Cap fanboy during the 90s is cool, Crossbones and all. But that 90s comics trivia stuff kinda sucks on a book like X-Men which sucked back then anyways.

This series made me not wanna get his Catwoman stuff.

Krakoa getting one would have been more fun.

Krakoa might've been too big for Brubaker's sensibilities. Conceptually, even.

He's the one who mutilated the ur-Invisibles OMAC, right? There's an issue of 'Solo' which basically redraws, panel for panel, the first issue of 'OMAC', which is weird in and of itself, but to come out around the same time as Bat-Sat and totally missing the point? A Keanu-worthy 'Whoa!'

a) That was Paul Pope
b) The Solo comics exist outside continuity
c) I just wrote that sentence. I hope you're proud.

Can anybody explain to me why Professor X is suddenly up and walking at the end of this mini? So he's been stripped of his telepathic powers because of M-Day and the Scarlett Witch, but what has that got to do with his new found ability to walk? I was under the impression that he couldn't walk due to a spinal cord injury and that this handicap was in no way related to his mutant abilities.

Anybody wanna come up with a no-prize solution?

Here's one for you.

We never saw Xavier in House of M. He used his telepathy to hide from Magneto, but he still received a boon from the transformation (the ability to walk).

When Wanda said The Words, he lost his telepathy... but not the healing, due to his psychic shields.

Good. But this is better.

Wanda's powers are based in chaos magic. She couldn't predict the exact repurcusions of her Chaos Wave. Some mutants lost certain powers (Black Tom), others lost their powers but retained certain features (Marrow) and others lost everything all together. I guess Xavier came out relatively lucky. Just like the main X-Men linueps and several other unexplicably still-mutant (Erg, Mammomax, Beautiful Dreamer, Lorelei).

It's being used to explain everything! Chaos Magic baby! For when the gods' chariots aren't working.

Well, what Xavier says in the actual comic in which he reappears, walking again, is that he figures Wanda "wanted to show me what being a cripple really means", which is a pretty anti-flatscans thing to say, but then again, he is a dick.

This series made me not wanna get his Catwoman stuff.

I would personally be a bit wary of making a judgement of the way Brubaker writes a book about a woman in leather who beats up criminals based on how he writes a book about a guy who shoots force beams out of his eyes at people who fall to Earth from space.
