Wolverine: Man on the street. In the Bronx, New York, an elderly man named Steve Rogers checks his mail on a street full of kids with superpowers playing. Some of them stop to gawk at \u201cthe old dude\u201d as he shuffles on down the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong female characters! A guy as clearly empathetic and good hearted as Bendis just being like \u201caw yeah, sexy ladies, who cares if it makes sense?!\u201d for so long was really baffling to me. On the Alison show, starring Alison Blair, aka Dazzler, Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man, appears to talk about his hit TV show and also deny rumors that he\u2019s dating Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel, \u201cthe most popular superhero in America,\u201d who attained this fame all despite, as Alison puts it, not being a \u201c…you know\u2026\u201d Ms. Marvel is busy stopping some car thieves, one of which is Remy LeBeau, aka Gambit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cincinnati, Ohio, Kitty Pryde teaches in an elementary school classroom, asking the class who was the first mutant (Prince Namor), and asking them about important things he said in World War II. In a seedy Hell\u2019s Kitchen bar, Detective Sam Wilson confronts Luke Cage, who is not impressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Strange sees his patient Robert Reynolds. In Russia, Colossus tills a huge field by himself. And in Chicago\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, designer Janet Van Dyne works on the dress Ororo Munroe will wear to an event for the House of Magnus. And somewhere else, Wolverine wakes from dreams of the Weapon X program to find Jean Gray in his bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so we know where we are, a world where mutants reign supreme, and, it would seem, Magneto reigns over them. It\u2019s pretty effective scene setting. It\u2019s also kind of crazy to ask the audience to buy a comic that\u2019s nothing but scene setting, but that was the industry in 2005. Marvel produced stories written for the eventual collection, but still sold individual pieces, and whether they were satisfying that way wasn\u2019t always a point of concern, tho\u2019 Bendis was often a lot more cognizant of making sure each issue was satisfying than his peers. Not so much in this case, but often. But where\u2019s Spider-Man in all this? He\u2019s around, that\u2019s for sure. I don\u2019t recall how much of a role he plays in the main story, to be honest. We\u2019ll see. The remit of this blog is getting weirder and more nebulous the further we get into the 2000s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
