Wandavision brought me back to House Of M as it's been a while since I've read it.It holds up. I forgot how freaky-deaky it was.
2018 view: Not as genius as some of Bendis' later Avengers centred work, but at the time a huge step in the right direction. The Astonishing X-Men and New Avengers agree it's time to deal with the Scarlet Witch situation only to see the entire universe remade! With a lot of innovative redesign for the mutant paradise world Bendis and co. pull out all the stops. Everyone gets their biggest desire, unfortunately for the House of M, Wolverine's dream desire is the truth! At times near genius, many
The Scarlet Witch has gone crazy after killing some of her fellow Avengers leaving the hero team along with the X-Men pondering what to do with her – do they kill her for what’s she done or because her powers have become unstable? Before they have a chance to decide anything she uses everything she has to change the world into a mutant utopia where humans are hounded and giving each mutant their heart’s desire. Brian Michael Bendis writes a fascinating event book the equivalent of DC’s “Elseworl...
"House of M" was something I had read several years ago, but felt the need to reread it. I am glad I did. Bendis' great story, backed with very good art, makes for a truly epic read. The Scarlet Witch has gone a wee bit nanners. She has convinced herself that she has children and they are real. She is powerful enough to have even created such a world.She was brought "under control" by Charles Xavier and Magneto. They housed her on Genosha and are trying to heal her, but her reality warping power...
Great re-imagining of the Marvel universe upside-down. When I originally read this, I didn't realize it would spawn so many side-stories. Not sure if this is Marvel just cashing in on another Bendis-fest, or if there's really a rich set of ideas worth exploring here. I'd like to think the latter, but the way that the tie-ins seem to have spiked so fast and died off not long thereafter, it seems like the former. Nothing against Bendis, just frustrated that Bendis gives these guys so many grand sl...
I could have sworn I read House of M but I guess not. I read Avengers Dissembled and then skipped over house of M and just read some individual x-men type titles. So we all know what comes from House of M. "No More Mutants" the famous words utter by Scarlet witch, the power force of the Marvel Universe, and like The Flash, can alter and fuck up the entire universe. She can alter reality. That's what House of M is actually about. Scarlet Witch is going nuts, like not able to control her OWN reali...
This is one of the better Marvel crossover event core books. First, it was written by Brian Michael Bendis, who has a knack for this sort of thing. It covers a lot of ground, yet it’s accessible, interesting, entertaining and most importantly it’s a coherent rendering of the main event unlike other cross over event books like Fear Itself or Inhumanity, which leave you bewildered and angry. You could read this and be satisfied that you’ve got the gist of the story or if you’re interested you coul...
So I've never been a consistent comic reader and the unfortunate result is things can wildly change from one iteration to another. I saw it in Marvel Civil War when Nitro blew up Wolverine right down to his adamantium skeleton and two seconds later he was fully flesh and blood again. Another example happened here in House of M. I grew up remembering Scarlet Witch like this... ...you know glowing hands, red lingerie, and not that big of a deal, but now she does things like this... ...umm well
