Discussion Questions 2: X-Men
February 8th, 2012Here’s some X-Men comics we’ve read:
E is for Extinction
Scarlet in Glory
Imperial
Sisterhood
Astonishing X-Men
and others we’ve no doubt forgotten…
Questions
- What’s the best X-Men comic you’ve read?
- And the worst?[1]
- And the weirdest?
- Any ideas on the following:
- Best X-Man ever (other than Wolverine) Worst X-Man ever
- Worst X-Costume ever
- Did Garth Ennis’s take on the X-Men in “The Boys” (the ‘G-Men’) have any valid points to make?
- Did Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon really revitalise the series?
- Did anyone see the TV cartoon adaptation, and what did they think?
- Do TV cartoon adaptations ever persuade people to read comics?
- Does anyone disagree with the following statement about the films: “X-Men 1 was quite good, X-Men 2 was the best, X-Men: Last Stand was best forgotten about, the less said about X-Men Origins: Wolverine the better, X-Men: First Class divides opinion”?[2]
- “X-Men” has been going – in its various incarnations – for a long time now; what is it about them that appeals?
- What’s the best X-Men graphic novel?
- “God Loves, Man Kills” often takes this slot, but should it?
[1] This may be a hotly-contested slot.
[2] Largely, it must be said, between Louise and Dave.
