Will you be buying X-Men: Emperor Vulcan?

[Mitteloss]

With less than a week to go until it's out and mostly positive reactions about the preview pages, will you be buying X-Men: Emperor Vulcan?

With Havok, Polaris, Rachel, Ch'od, Raza, Lilandra, Deathbird, Korvus and the Imperial Guard!

[EmmaFrost]

No unless if Emma or Scott makes a guest appearance.

[Pach!]

I am.

I am actually really excited for it.

[Cayman]

YES, YES I AM!

Chris Yost + Rachel + Lorna + Alex = Love

[Ryan K]

I only bought most of Rise and Fall of the Shiar Empire because I'm obsessive compulsive and didn't want to stop buying Uncanny X-Men.

So no.

[Flight]

Of course I am!!~~~~~~~!!~

[CJ Lentze]

Affirmative. 'Cause it features Rachel. :D

I hope it will have a nice space opera feel, like the 'Rise and Fall' FAILED to have, in my humble opinion. I hope it won't be too decompressed, but from the first issue it will be hard to tell, because first issues are usually meant to just set up the situation anyway.

[Jake V]

I'll wait for the trade.

[GoingGreen]

Yes, because Polaris is 100% hilarious. Can't wait for the drinking.

[kate-pryde]

Hopefully, as long as Rachel is written well and there aren't any nausea inducing Rachel and Korvus scenes.

[Flâneur]

I <3 Rachel and Havok ... but I have no interest in more of Rise and Fall. So I say nein.

[Don Quixote]

It's got three X-Men in it that I do like, but the rest of the characters, and the whole Shi'ar thing is just dull.

I've never liked the space adventures. I can't remember any of them that have't been either boring or stupid. Though this one is written by Chris Yost, so that's a reason to be optimistic. New X-Men continues to be my favourite Marvel book.

I hope he's got death scenes all lined up for Vulcan and Korvus. And a return to earth for Havok, Polaris and Rachel, just in time for the reordering of the teams after MC.

[caney]

Yes!

Havok is the bestest Summers. I like that Polaris is very very far away from my Bobby. And Yost is half the writing team of my favorite X-book over the last few months. Plus I've invested too much into this story already to not see the conclusion.

I have high hopes for this mini!

[Flight]

I hope he's got death scenes all lined up for Vulcan and Korvus. And a return to earth for Havok, Polaris and Rachel, just in time for the reordering of the teams after MC. Yes, this sounds good!
I was sad to see the X-Men: Disassembled poster without Havok or Po.

[Daithi]

Yes because Rachel's in it.

[CJ Lentze]

Yes because Rachel's in it.

That's a crap reason! :D


(PS: check the first line of my earlier post)

[Mitteloss]

I was sad to see the X-Men: Disassembled poster without Havok or Po.


Isn't that a good thing? Considering what happened in Avengers Disassembled...

[Flight]

Isn't that a good thing? Considering what happened in Avengers Disassembled... Oh, I don't mean I want them in it, I said I was sad to see the poster without them cause it all the X-Men on, minus Rogue & Stacy X.

[CmX]

I'm really not sure. I love Yost and Lorna, but this plot is just... done to death I'm sick of Vulcan. He was interesting at first now it's milking milking.

[Joe Acro]

I'll be reading it as I like to read complete stories and this one isn't done yet, though I'm hoping this mini is all it takes. There better be some Sikorsky!

[Faded]

As of now, now I'm not even though I do love Lorna and her retro style. Nothing else is appealing about it.

Somehow I feel like Cayman's avatar is telling me I should, and I'm almost inclined to believe her.

[jarrod]

Yes definitely. In Yost we trust.

[Novaya Havoc]

I'll buy it if Rachel dies.

I love Havok and Polaris, but the circumstance of EVERYTHING = no interest. At all.

[jarrod]

I'll buy it if Rachel dies.
She'd just be reborn again anyway. <3 <3 Phoenix.

[Askani's Flame]

Chris Yost. . . enough said for me! Hells yeah!

[Charybdis4]

As much as I love Lorna, this really isn't rocking my world.

I would definitely buy it if I had a 100% guarantee that Lilandra will die horribly during this arc. That woman is such a waste of space (though she still hasn't attained Jubilee levels of pointlessness.) What has she done apart from polish Charles' slaphead every now & then??? If I knew that Deathbird would bitch slap her through an airlock & then Vulcan would also die, overwhelmed by his own crapness, then I would pick it up.

But, its probably going to be lots of Vulcan posturing, lots of Rachel whining & fawning over that bloke with a big chopper & not enough Lorna character development.

[Diablito]

I'm considering buying it, if only for Korvus.




LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[ClanAskani]

Of course! I'm looking forward for this series to make up for everything that was left out of the last arc.

I can't wait to see what Chris Yost does with Rachel and Alex. I don't think he'll let the fans down.


I hope he's got death scenes all lined up for Vulcan and Korvus. And a return to earth for Havok, Polaris and Rachel, just in time for the reordering of the teams after MC.

Seconded. I want them all back in time to join the new teams after the event.

[GoingGreen]

Well, isn't it scheduled to end RIGHT in time for the reorganising? I want them back for Uncanny 500, mainly. Then we'll worry about reorganizationg.

[Mitteloss]

Seconded. I want them all back in time to join the new teams after the event.

Hopefully, if enough people get this mini, then Marvel might notice the trio's popularity and bring them back to earth.

[GoingGreen]

Maybe they're testing the waters for Polaris' popularity to see if she has a chance of bringing in any money from a solo mini to clear up her blood ties...

*fan boy dreams*

[DDM]

I'm not sure. I'll pick it up at my LCS & think about it.

[Flight]

I'm not sure. I'll pick it up at my LCS & think about it. You cannot resist!!!!~~~

[Slung]

She'd just be reborn again anyway. <3 <3 Phoenix.

Sounds good in theory, but hasn't been working so well for Jean yet.

Well, isn't it scheduled to end RIGHT in time for the reorganising? I want them back for Uncanny 500, mainly. Then we'll worry about reorganizationg.

I especially want to see Lorna back on earth. Havok and Rach could hang out in space for a while longer, but for me: Lorna is a must.

[rilokyle]

I'm very very excited for this mini. Its the return of Havok and Polaris after one hell of a long summer!

The art is decent enough, and I'm willing to trust Chris Yost on this one. I can't wait for next Wednesday!!

[Joe Acro]

Hopefully, if enough people get this mini, then Marvel might notice the trio's popularity and bring them back to earth.
They might just think that they've finally found a Starjammers/Shi'ar concept that people want to buy and will keep the trio in space accordingly.

[Michael P]

They might just think that they've finally found a Starjammers/Shi'ar concept that people want to buy and will keep the trio in space accordingly.

Oh, sure, bring logic into it why don't you?

I'll probably read it when it comes out in trade.

[Mitteloss]

They might just think that they've finally found a Starjammers/Shi'ar concept that people want to buy and will keep the trio in space accordingly.

Doubt it, they know these things won't work in the long term. People will begin to complain and Marvel will be forced to bring back the characters to the X-Men.

[Michael P]

Doubt it, they know these things won't work in the long term. People will begin to complain and Marvel will be forced to bring back the characters to the X-Men.

Yeah, because if there's one thing Marvel takes seriously, it's complaints from people on the Internet.

[Mitteloss]

Yeah, because if there's one thing Marvel takes seriously, it's complaints from people on the Internet.

Can we at least try to be a bit optimistic about them returning to earth?

[Joe Acro]

Can we at least try to be a bit optimistic about them returning to earth?Be as optimistic as you want! I was just playing Devil's Advocate.

[Michael Sean]

Rachel spoilers for next week's Emperor Vulcan #1

Rachel says she broke up with Korvus because they are too different. Later Rachel reveals that she had a talk with Lilandra and discovered that some sort of Secret Order within the Shiar are the ones that ordered her family killed and when she finds out who they are she'll make them pay.

At the end Rachel uses her telepathy to learn that the name of a new threat they encountered means "Death to all Shiar".

[ClanAskani]

Hopefully, if enough people get this mini, then Marvel might notice the trio's popularity and bring them back to earth.

Unfortunately, this mini selling well would most likely have the opposite effect and keep Rachel, Alex and Lorna in space in a Starjammers ongoing series. :(

Boycotting the series wouldn't likely to bring them home either.

Maybe if in the last issue Alex, Rachel and Lorna don't return home, we all boycott that issue. Otherwise, the messages is that the Starjammers and Vulcan will sell. Obviously, the series doing well will get Marvel’s attention, but a large drop will have them scratching their heads wondering why. Perhaps that gets the point across.

I love Chris Yost. :)

[GoingGreen]

*dies to Lorna spoilers*

[1WEBHEAD]

Color me "not interested".

[_Jayme_]

I'll buy it. I hope it does better then the one year arc with Uncanny and makes me want to pick that one up, but it's doubtful.

[Phil Hunn]

Will I be buying the adventures of everyone's favourite Evil Summers Brother Vulcan? You betcha!

Can't beat an Evil Summers Brother, after all.

[xmanson]

i'll read it. but i won't buy it

[Will.S]

This is one of those books that are really geared towards trade collections but I'm going to buy it because I'm pretty interested in what's going to happen there and I'm curious as to where Chris Yost is going to take Ed Brubaker's ball and roll with it.

Plus I'm a sucker for getting more displays of power by Vulcan to gage his increasing power.

[dreyson]

I can't believe vulcan got his own series. I can't stand him or that shiar guy with the huge sword. no way i'd buy this after wasting all that money on bru's year long space arc.

[Hi-Fi]

*dies to Lorna spoilers*
Lorna acts like PAD's Lorna. She's amazing in this first issue.

Thank you, Chris Yost.

[Bulky Brent]

I'll buy it but it should lead to Alex and Lorna returning to earth Temporarily/Permanent other than that i'll probably stay away from it.

[KittyPryde]

I'm in for it. I'd get it regardless as I'm an X-junkie mindless zombie who has to buy it all anyway in case it might be good :o (although, in minor defense, I do have to order 2 months in advance before I ever get the detailed preview information, and I usually err on the side of "ahh, heck...just go ahead and get it...") . But in this case it has Rachel in it, so I'd buy it even if it stank just 'cause of that lone fact.

(BFF...well at least until Magik comes back...)

[CmX]

I think I'm going to buy it cause the logo is so gorgeous LOL

[Metallurgique]

I'll be picking it up, because Polaris is in it.

But it had better be worth it, because if this Vulcan situation gets any more implausible, I'll have to burn the copies when the series is over.

[steve2275]

YES, YES I AM!

Chris Yost + Rachel + Lorna + Alex = Love
what
no love for paco diaz:p

[Erik Lehnsherr]

I'm buying it SIMPLY for Princess Lorna and Rachel Grey.

[Pach!]

Suddenly I'm turned off to buying it. LOL.

[Dagger]

Lorna acts like PAD's Lorna. She's amazing in this first issue.

Thank you, Chris Yost.
You've already read it?!! How good are the rest of the characters? How is the art? The sketches look awesome, but the inked and colors not so much.

[Hi-Fi]

You've already read it?!! How good are the rest of the characters? How is the art? The sketches look awesome, but the inked and colors not so much.
The art is cool, Alex acts like a natural leader (even though he doesn't think so), Rachel is NOT annoying at all and Lorna is amazing. I loved all of her lines.

[Dagger]

OMG. Rachel hasn't not been annoying in like, forever! I'm so excited for the Havok/Popo stuff!

[Hi-Fi]

OMG. Rachel hasn't not been annoying in like, forever! I'm so excited for the Havok/Popo stuff!
Lorna really shows how much she cares for Alex in this issue. It's pretty cute.

[Dagger]

Lorna really shows how much she cares for Alex in this issue. It's pretty cute.
Please tell me it's better than how she was displayed in RAFOTSE!!! I can't take any more of 'Oh, Alex! We only have one night left, I'm devoid of personality, stick it in me, PLEASE!!!'

[Hi-Fi]

Please tell me it's better than how she was displayed in RAFOTSE!!! I can't take any more of 'Oh, Alex! We only have one night left, I'm devoid of personality, stick it in me, PLEASE!!!'
Nah, it's more like: "Alex, stop saying you're not a natural leader. Confidence or I'll kick your ass!"

[Don Quixote]

Nah, it's more like: "Alex, stop saying you're not a natural leader. Confidence or I'll kick your ass!"

About time someone told him to suck it up and get on with it. His continual self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy need a rest

[Dagger]

Nah, it's more like: "Alex, stop saying you're not a natural leader. Confidence or I'll kick your ass!"
Sweet! Thank you Chris Yost!

[caney]

Ack! So many spoilers. How are you so hooked up, Vic? Do you have web cams aimed at the computers of all your favorite writers and artists?

[Hi-Fi]

Well, she doesn't exactly say that to Alex, but she acknowledges the situation and talk it out to Rachel over drinks!

[Michael P]

Can we at least try to be a bit optimistic about them returning to earth?

Can we at least try to be a little realistic about it? For novelty value, if nothing else.

[Hi-Fi]

Ack! So many spoilers. How are you so hooked up, Vic? Do you have web cams aimed at the computers of all your favorite writers and artists?
I'm actually Chris Yost.




Seriously now, a bunch of people have already read a preview copy, since it's coming out this week.

[Hi-Fi]

Can we at least try to be a little realistic about it? For novelty value, if nothing else.
We don't have time to be realistic.


Save Ferris!!

[Pach!]

I'm actually Chris Yost.




Seriously now, a bunch of people have already read a preview copy, since it's coming out this week.

Chris, can you put Loa in the spotlight?

[Mitteloss]

Can we at least try to be a little realistic about it? For novelty value, if nothing else.

No you are just being pessimistic about it.

Well... we'll see what happens to them when this mini is over.

[jmc247]

Please tell me it's better than how she was displayed in RAFOTSE!!! I can't take any more of 'Oh, Alex! We only have one night left, I'm devoid of personality, stick it in me, PLEASE!!!'

ROFLMAO :D

That is so very true.

There has been three different Lorna characterizations over the years. Her first was as Princess Lorna/Magneto the Second, then there was her 70s-80s Havok's girlfriend/wallpaper characterization, and finally her X-Factor characterization.

The perfect Lorna for me would be a mix of M2/Princess Lorna with X-Factor Polaris.

[Polaris Rocks]

Chris, can you put Loa in the spotlight?

Who is Loa?

[Polaris Rocks]

There has been three different Lorna characterizations over the years. Her first was as Princess Lorna/Magneto the Second, then there was her 70s-80s Havok's girlfriend/wallpaper characterization, and finally her X-Factor characterization.

The perfect Lorna for me would be a mix of M2/Princess Lorna with X-Factor Polaris.

Now that would certainly be an interesting Polaris.

[rilokyle]

Lorna really shows how much she cares for Alex in this issue. It's pretty cute.

YAY!!!! Thanks for the spoilers Hi-Fi. I'm so excited to get it next week! I love all the positive buzz this book is getting right now. Good things!

[dotdotdot]

man how is that a spoiler

[Hi-Fi]

man how is that a spoiler
People get mad for less than that. What's the harm in putting it on spoiler tags?

[rilokyle]

man how is that a spoiler

Well, it makes ME happy.

[Michael P]

No you are just being pessimistic about it.


No, I'm being realistic, pointing out the uncomfortable but true fact that Marvel will bring Alex and Lorna back to Earth when they want to, and no amount of complaining from you will make it happen any sooner. Pessimistic would be "Marvel will kill Lorna and Alex at the end of the series because they hate their fans."

[dotdotdot]

People get mad for less than that. What's the harm in putting it on spoiler tags?

oh sure, by all means then.

[scottv]

I won't be buying it

[talat77]

I'm getting it with the hope that it will be done after this... The 3 X-Men back on earth and no more 'Vulcan's story isn't done yet, blablabla sh*t'
I'm not even a huge fan of either of the 3, but I felt they shouldn't have been left in space. And am only getting it because Yost is writing it and not Bru...

[samil87]

Completely agree, if it wasn't Yost I wouldn't be getting it. Vulcan already had 18 issues wasted on him and none of those were anything special. Saying that it did have some good points, my only issue was that it seriously lacked resolution considering it took twelve issues to come to that 'conclusion'.

[streator]

i am picking up the series.

[Karl H]

trade wait for me.

[madrox1977]

I'll be buying this series in the hope that it is indeed the end of Vulcans story, not bothered about returning the xmen straight away as like the idea of alex taking over his fathers role

[kate-pryde]

Hi-Fi or anyone who's read the preview, is there any cute interaction between Alex and Rachel, especially following Yost's Unlimited story?

[1WEBHEAD]

Lorna really shows how much she cares for Alex in this issue. It's pretty cute.

Lorna: Havok, honey, I swear when I was screwing bobby, I was thinking of you!:o

[Bulky Brent]

The Story has been going on for too long hopefully this mini will wrap it up.

[DDM]

I may consider buying the book if Vulcan dies an embarrassing death such as having constipation & he explodes from within.

[Red Lotus]

Just like the guy who started the story in the first place, I dont care enough to see what happens next in the Vulcan story.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Actually just added it to my order next week. Now admittedly I'm largely buying this for Rachel and Alex, but I am interested to see the story followed up on. Rise and Fall wasn't brilliant, but it did still keep me interested to see how it concludes.
