Some issues have been better written than others--but that just makes the matter worse, as it heightens the problem of inconsistency.<br /><br />And whether it's a case of too many cooks or Bendis contamination or no one at Marvel having the cojones to actually edit an "Architect," the continuity and characterization, even between issues of the main series, has been atrocious. Cyclops' reason for wanting Phoenix back is to restore the depowered mutants, so once they get the power...zero mutants restored, and the issue is never mentioned again. Namor goes to Wakanda because a captured mutant is being held there...and proceeds to flood the country without ever once even looking for said mutant. <br /><br />Players shift motivations, even switching sides, without any explanation or rationale. And there are polar bears in Antarctica.snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-72802971204515248132012-09-01T00:21:57.766-04:002012-09-01T00:21:57.766-04:00I'd be interested to know if you've been r...I'd be interested to know if you've been reading all of these. I have because I apparently hate myself. They are terrible. The Bendis hatred for dialogue or consistent characterization is all over it. I even tweeted Brubaker and told him it was awful which he, of course, did not answer because he's nt a crazy person complaining in a tweet. <br /><br />Thoughts? I think it's a basic betrayal of every character involved. Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232988950490016244noreply@blogger.com
