The Great X-Men Storytime - Vol. 3: New Mutants (Part 17)

Snikt, bub.

PREVIOUSLY ON X-MEN:

That is one hell of a cover btw.

x-bump

While we're on the subject of being a total fucking weeaboo, I'm thinking of learning Japanese and going to Japan for a while. Might be nice.

...

...

Yay! What with all the Sup Forums negativity so far tonight, I needed this!

...

...

yeah, i know we have frequents marvel hate thread but since wednesday it has been ridiculous.

These are the only threads you'll ever need, user.
Well, the other storytimes are alright I GUESS, but other than that...

...

I've heard that's a tough language nut to crack, but then again English is s'posta be the worst of them all.

P.S. - Avoid saying the word "mango"

...

I promise nothing!

...

It's an extremely iconic cover.

...

...

Simple and iconic, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

English is actually not that bad. I mean, it's harder than Spanish, but compared to German or French.

...

...

...

...

Sorry for the lateness btw, I spent wayyy to much time playing Rekka no Ken today.

...

...

...

...

FRANK THE TANK

...

God damn it, now nobody's gonna be in my storytime! DAMN YOU, X-user!

...

What are you storytiming?

...

...

English is not particularly hard. It feels like a Creole of French and an old Germanic language with simplified grammar.
Obviously mastering it completely takes many years.

...

I'm the nutter who's been storytiming Luke Cage stories.

...

Well, what language were you beginning from? There's a bit of a difference in learning curves depending upon the root of your native language.
Then there's the slang, various accents, the colloquialisms, my God - all the puns.
A good bit of English in common usage is reappropriated random foreign language words and phrases.

Ah, that's pretty cool. Godspeed, user.

Again, blame my unfortunate timing on Fire Emblem.

...

I'll direct try and direct to the older stories when he and Iron Fist meet the X-Men, as they did occasionally.

Thank Glob! I was worried it was X-user doing it all in a one-user war against Sup Forums decline.
One man against a tide will always drown.

...

Are you running Sabretooth's first appearance? 'Cause I ain't doin' that.

Interesting layouts. Miller's using half the page in one long panel and then a couple stacked on the other half

Oh fuck no, hah, I barely have enough time for this storytime, let alone two.

Love that spooky "killerine" panel.
They really should have kept him in the brown color schemed costumes and not gone back to yellow/blue.

...

I know some people hate the ending but I LOVE his Ronin, gorgeous stuff.

Also, pretty sure his layouts (and general aesthetic) were heavily influenced by manga, Lone Wolf and Cub to be precise.

>captcha is literally "semen avenue"
Excuse me, what?!?

...

Yep. I always like the thing I heard about him reading untranslated Lone Wolf going straight into making comics

...

...

I was just reading the Smith-era X-Men and I was like "oh, yeah, that's why Wolverine got so popular."

It's easy to forget that there was no one like him in kids' comics.

...

Miller seemed to understand that especially in color comics, using a lot of white space can actually be a striking design element.

...

Don't underrate Byrne who drew him looking badass as often as he could because he wanted a cool Canadian hero

...

...

By the way, looking that that first issue cover... it's a damn fucking shame Clint Eastwood never played Wolverine.

...

...

Oh sure. "Now it's my turn" has been homaged to death but it's still awesome.

...

Too tall. Also made of dust.

...

It's Iron Fist, so of course. I'll also run the story where Wolverine picks a fight with Iron Fist, and gers the entire X-Men team involved (it's Phoenix-era)

At first I was wondering who this Hei guy they kept talking about was, then I realized they were supposed to be saying Hai.

I know, but 80's Wolvie had that Dirty Harry kind of vibe going, y'know?

Coolio.

...

Blame Byrne.

...

Oh, I love that story because it's so totally ridiculous. It doesn't even pretend to have a plot, it's just 15 pages of "Marvel heroes fight over a misunderstanding."

>Danny the Street resorts to making porno

Wasn't it Lee who wanted Wolverine back in the yellow/blue?

Holy shit, user making me bust a gut

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

More of his enemies should carry bows and arrows, that's gotta be harder to heal around than a bullet.
Come to think of it, one good harpooning would solve most people's Wolverine problems.

...

...

Can I just put in a good word for Tom Orzechowski? The X-Men got lucky when they were able to get him as the main letterer (after a lot of rotating letterers in the '70s). He could make all those words readable and even nice to look at.
