Bart Allen 656 posts Posted July 29, 2019 I was thinking recently as to what some undervalued Modern key comics may be - whether it be first appearances, early appearances, origin stories, iconic cover art, classic stories etc - and New X-Men #134 seemed to be exactly that, or am I simply being a bit too optimistic? It's a first appearance of Omega level mutant Quentin Quire: a potential Phoenix avatar - whilst on the Morrison run. Naturally, I know that Fantomex was a unique byproduct from the New X-Men run, given he was the major player in the Remender X-Force run etc. And of course all it takes is for fanboy Feige to make an announcement - which was seen it Eternals #1 and Marvel Super-Heroes #13, for example.

ExNihilo 1,824 posts Posted July 29, 2019 Ummm...who's Quentin Quire? Until some creator comes along and does something notable/worthwhile with a character, it's all a guessing game. 2 1 sagekilz, PeterPark and Avi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
followtheleader 8,668 posts Posted July 30, 2019 Still feel Fantomex is undervalued. Granted, it's not super hard to find and is fairly recent. Just see a lot of potential that is being wasted. Oddly enough, feels like Deadpool before he became hot (copies were a few bucks, but dirt cheap compared to recent history).

alewario 32 posts Posted July 30, 2019 Also a great quote in there: "It's all fake and illusion. That's what cool is. That's what charisma is. That's what everything is." -- Quentin Quire 1 Bart Allen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maraxusofkeld 1,110 posts Posted August 7, 2019 I think the Morrion New X-Men run is undervalued in general. There are many new X-Men/ mutants that appear that have been used in the subsequent years. 1 JTLarsen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, in regards to the OP, X-Men 134 isn't a 'key', per se, but as QQ continues to get used, it has the potential to become one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
