Hey, look who's back (spoilers about X-men: Disassembled)

[Omega Alpha]

Newsrama had more information on X-men Disassembled, including the return of one character that Brian Moranor really likes and has a huge history with Cyclops:

You say that and my mind goes right to Jean.

Although that image does confirm what I've been hearing about MC.

[Sentinel K]

Hah! I knew it.

Hate that picture though.

[Beast]

Kinda surprised they're blowing some of this info this early.

But I guess they kind of have to, given the fact the solicits will spoil it anyway.

[Stagier]

what have you been hearing?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have NEVER GUESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dotdotdot]

so hopefully x-men is changing names, but not numbering, and carey is writing this x-force as well as the aforementioned new book.
so we just doubled our carey x-output. glorious!

[Brian M.]

Yea I am too, I mean the event hasn't even started and they are letting the cat out of the bag on some projects.

[Hi-Fi]

I like that image.

[Sentinel K]

Nah, this looks like the Cable solo series my LCS guy was talking about.

This is the start of Alonso's "make Cable BIG in 08" campaign.

[dotdotdot]

well to be fair, carey is huge on interviews and giving out lots of information. and it has yet to spoil any of the joy at seeing the exectution, as nuanced as he usually is.

[caney]

Eh... I guess it's nice that Cable's back like everyone speculated. I want to hear more about this new team. So we'll get to see four members of it today?

[dotdotdot]

Nah, this looks like the Cable solo series my LCS guy was talking about.

This is the start of Alonso's "make Cable BIG in 08" campaign.

i think the nature of the lcs guy is to talk completely out of his ass.
but maybe its cable solo and another series.
i'm still betting we get 2 carey books out of this instead of one. at least hoping.

but zero signs point to any important new writer jumping in at this point.

[Mikl C]

Awful, horrible news.

[MartinRedmond]

How come no one ever complains about non sense resurections unless it's Jean who was resurected once. Colossus was cremated and scattered over his farm...

[Christopher O]

I'm sure nobody's surprised. I, however, am saddened by the reemergence of the 90's shoulder pads--or pad as it were.

We'll see.

We're not getting two books written by Carey, sadly.

[Sentinel K]

I'm sure nobody's surprised. I, however, am saddened by the reemergence of the 90's shoulder pads--or pad as it were.

Yeah. That costume design is ass.

Bachalos rocked.

[Beast]

Carey's book isn't the X-Force one. I think it will make a lot of people happy. :)

[Brian M.]

I'm sure nobody's surprised. I, however, am saddened by the reemergence of the 90's shoulder pads--or pad as it were.

Would it really make sense to put a pad on an arm made of metal?

[Hi-Fi]

Carey's book isn't the X-Force one. I think it will make a lot of people happy. :)
Speak for yourself. ;)


I like Cable's new design.

[Brian M.]

Carey's book isn't the X-Force one. I think it will make a lot of people happy. :)

Sadly I think it'll make the one group no one wants happy on here, happy.

[Brian M.]

Speak for yourself. ;)

You do understand what is going to happen in those threads right?

[caney]

Speak for yourself. ;)


I like Cable's new design.

His arm's a bit rusty. He needs some lube!

[Beast]

Sadly I think it'll make the one group no one wants happy on here, happy.
Eh. It makes me quite happy. It's a natural fit for Carey.

[Christopher O]

Would it really make sense to put a pad on an arm made of metal?
How does a shoulder pad make sense at all?

[Brian M.]

How does a shoulder pad make sense at all?

The one on the arm w/ flesh, makes sense b/c that arm is more easily damaged. Falling debris, bullets, other random crap that could fall on, be thrown at or pushed into. The metal one, being metal, isn't as easily damaged.

[Dagger]

Oh god. If we get an ongoing Beast book by Carey, I so will not be reading that. BORING is Hank McCoy's middle name.

[dotdotdot]

hey if any of you are truly in the know go ahead and spoil that shit then

[Omega Alpha]

You say that and my mind goes right to Jean.


Why do you think i said that? I'm mean!:D

[Beast]

Cable has no fashion sense anyway. We just have to remember that. :)

[ProfeZZor X]

Glad Marvel is in the spirit of making us fans excited again...

...Now if they could do the same thing with their movies, it would be a perfect world.

[Beast]

Oh god. If we get an ongoing Beast book by Carey, I so will not be reading that. BORING is Hank McCoy's middle name.
It's not. Remeber the clue, it's someone who hasn't had a solo of their own.

Carey is doing the Mythos: Beast one shot though. It should be out later this year.

[Hi-Fi]

Eh. It makes me quite happy. It's a natural fit for Carey.
I prefer him writing a team book.

Oh god. If we get an ongoing Beast book by Carey, I so will not be reading that. BORING is Hank McCoy's middle name.
Carey hearts Rogue more than Beast. <3 <3 <3

[Omega Alpha]

Carey hearts Rogue more than Beast. <3 <3 <3

And he hearts Cyke more than Rogue :cool:

[Christopher O]

The one on the arm w/ flesh, makes sense b/c that arm is more easily damaged. Falling debris, bullets, other random crap that could fall on, be thrown at or pushed into. The metal one, being metal, isn't as easily damaged.
Ugh, we all know that isn't the reason it's there. It's a stupid design element.

[dotdotdot]

well i'm glad its clear that none of us know what the hell we're talking about
sweet.

[Beast]

I prefer him writing a team book.
It's still sort of a team book. Just with said character being the main one.

[Dagger]

It's not. Remeber the clue, it's someone who hasn't had a solo of their own.

Carey is doing the Mythos: Beast one shot though. It should be out later this year.
Beast never had an ongoing, and his solo was more a team-up book than a solo. God, just tell us the dang books already!!!
I prefer him writing a team book.


Carey hearts Rogue more than Beast. <3 <3 <3
Me too. I'm just not interested in reading solo books right now unless they're absolutely fantastic(Immortal Iron Fist for one). Especially not of characters that really don't interest me all that much.

[Pach!]

I preferred Bachalo's design. I don't completely hate this one though.

[Brian M.]

Ugh, we all know that isn't the reason it's there. It's a stupid design element.

Can we atleast pretend that's the reason it's there?

[Cayman]

Olivetti is a good fit for Cable. I wonder if he'll be leaving Punisher for this book.

[Dagger]

And he hearts Cyke more than Rogue :cool:
Great. Does he like any of the interesting mutants?

[Christopher O]

Can we atleast pretend that's the reason it's there?
I'd rather we all mock it, and perhaps Marvel will get some sense and trash it. Seriously, do we really wanna go back to the early 90's?

[Hi-Fi]

And he hearts Cyke more than Rogue :cool:
You take it back! :mad:

It's still sort of a team book. Just with said character being the main one.
It is not, but I know Mike will make it work.

[Beast]

Beast never had an ongoing, and his solo was more a team-up book than a solo. God, just tell us the dang books already!!!
No, but he's had solo minis. Amazing Adventures #11-17, Beauty and the Beast (Beast & Dazzler), Beast, and Avengers Too (Beast & Wonder Man). It's not Beast. Trust me on that one.

[jester1436]

Meh, why is the Cable reveal that big?

I honestly wish that a character could "die" and show up later organically without a big shock about it. Cable's fate wasn't revealed and they thought he was dead. It's not like he died years ago and boom he's back.

Oh well, that's still cool-ish to have him back, even though I don't care about him as a solo character.

[Dagger]

No, but he's had solo minis. Amazing Adventures #11-17, Beauty and the Beast, Beast, and the solo with Wonder Man. It's not Beast.
What is it, a Magneto book then? Maybe it's a Toad book. He's been around almost since the beginning, and he's never had a solo. Or a Vanisher. I think I'd like to read about him some more.

[Brian M.]

Great. Does he like any of the interesting mutants?

I hate you.

I'd rather we all mock it, and perhaps Marvel will get some sense and trash it. Seriously, do we really wanna go back to the early 90's?

No, but it's here lets atleast pretend it's there for an actual reason and not b/c you know...shoulder pads for reason were thought to be cool.

[Omega Alpha]

well i'm glad its clear that none of us know what the hell we're talking about
sweet.

That's true.

No, but he's had solo minis. Amazing Adventures #11-17, Beauty and the Beast, Beast, and Avengers Two, the solo with Wonder Man. It's not Beast. Trust me on that one.

It was said that the character never had solo ongoings, not minis, and was around since the beginning (from the 60's, i suppose). And everyone but Polaris and Havok had solo minis.

[Dagger]

LOL. It's true. Cyke's never interesting by himself, it's always his supporting cast that's more interesting. I haven't found him interesting since the Fall of Avalon story over 10 years ago.

[Euks]

I'm glad Cable's coming back, but it does feel awfully soon for this announcement to be made. Didn't he die about two months ago?

Anyways I'll be interested to see if he's actually coming back to Cable & Deadpool, will be starring in a new book, or both. I hope he's coming back to C&D, but the solicits there sound like it'll be a Deadpool only book for a while.

In that picture Cable's arm looks much more robotic than the usual TO-virus/mesh based arm. I wonder if this rendition will be more of a cyborg-Cable? Or perhaps it's just the artist drawing his arm like that.

[Slant]

I'd rather we all mock it, and perhaps Marvel will get some sense and trash it. Seriously, do we really wanna go back to the early 90's?
We've got Cable with his shoulder pad, and Gambit back in pink.

Cyclops and Cannonball are putting on their ultra utility belts as we speak. :D

[frog]

Great. Does he like any of the interesting mutants?

Sure he does. He likes the interesting mutants that others of us here are interested in. :p

[Christopher O]

Cyclops and Cannonball are putting on their ultra utility belts as we speak. :D
Well, as long as they don't slip some briefs over their blue tights, I should be able to cope.

[Beast]

It was said that the character never had solo ongoings, not minis, and was around since the beginning (from the 60's, i suppose). And everyone but Polaris and Havok had solo minis.
People are overlooking the obvious.

[frog]

I wonder if the Cable and Deadpool title will continue or if that also will be reformatted.

[Dagger]

Sure he does. He likes the interesting mutants that others of us here are interested in. :p
NOOOOO!!!! Say it isn't so!:( lol.

[Brian M.]

Just say it Beast.

[Christopher O]

People are overlooking the obvious.
Yeah, it's definitely obvious, but that's not how you know about it. Ian should exercise a little more judgement.

[Dagger]

It was said that the character never had solo ongoings, not minis, and was around since the beginning (from the 60's, i suppose). And everyone but Polaris and Havok had solo minis.
Havok had a little title called Mutant X. I think I'd call that a solo.

[Tazirai]

No one dies in marvel heh.

[Omega Alpha]

People are overlooking the obvious.

George Bush is a Skrull?

Iceman is gay?

Grant Morrison should write X-men again?

[Beast]

Yeah, it's definitely obvious, but that's not how you know about it. Ian should exercise a little more judgement.
Ian hasn't told me anything. I've tried to get info out of him. It's impossible.

[Dagger]

Charles Xavier is getting the solo by Carey. There, I said it.

[caney]

The new team book shall focus on Bobby Drake as he takes a year off to follow Dazzler's new 2008 concert tour across the world! Guest stars and fabulousness will abound.

[Hi-Fi]

It's time to tell.

SAGE is getting a solo book by Carey. She's been there since the beginning.

[Dagger]

The new team book shall focus on Bobby Drake as he takes a year off to follow Dazzler's new 2008 concert tour across the world! Guest stars and fabulousness will abound.
OOH! Bobby's new role in the Mutant U! He's going to be a BAND-AID1!! Kate Hudson would be so proud!

[Christopher O]

Ian hasn't told me anything. I've tried to get info out of him. It's impossible.
Maybe not directly but word travels. The voices in my head tell me it's true.

[Dagger]

It's time to tell.

SAGE is getting a solo book by Carey. She's been there since the beginning.
I hope you're joking. That sucks more than hearing Satan has arrived on Earth.

[frog]

It's time to tell.

SAGE is getting a solo book by Carey. She's been there since the beginning.

Now you've gone and done it. :eek:

[Pach!]

It's time to tell.

SAGE is getting a solo book by Carey. She's been there since the beginning.

OMG. I had this idea before!!!!

[Brian M.]

It's time to tell.

SAGE is getting a solo book by Carey. She's been there since the beginning.

Someone should punch for saying she's been there since the beginning. Her existance in the "Original X-Men" is one horror no one should be subjected too.

[Beast]

Maybe not directly but word travels. The voices in my head tell me it's true.
I assure you, that what I've heard has not come or went through Ian.

[Hi-Fi]

I hope you're joking. That sucks more than hearing Satan has arrived on Earth.

Now you've gone and done it. :eek:

OMG. I had this idea before!!!!

It's true. Carey told me he have loved Sage since the retcon.

[frog]

I've got to go to rehearsal. I'm betting this thread is on page 20 by the time I get home!

[kate-pryde]

Wahoo! But I'm not crazy about Cable's new outfit, and I'm still worried that Cable is going to be rebooted.

[Dagger]

10 minutes to the next big reveal! WOO HOO! And you are so lying Victor! Such a tease! I hope:(

[Christopher O]

I assure you, that what I've heard has not come or went through Ian.
I don't need any assurances. It doesn't impact me in any way.

[Beast]

Someone should punch for saying she's been there since the beginning. Her existance in the "Original X-Men" is one horror no one should be subjected too.
But she's not. That would be like saying Storm is the 1st X-Man, because she met Xavier first. Or that Magneto was. Sage wasn't an X-Man until X-Treme. Even with the retcon. :p

[dotdotdot]

It's true. Carey told me he have loved Sage since the retcon.

i dont believe it, but that would be a perfect fit.

[jester1436]

Mike Carey should TOTALLY do his maxi-series about Sage.

Someone could stick a magnet on her forehead and kill her, thus various X-Men and related characters must team-up to discover who the murderer is. DETECTIVE DAZZLER AND INSPECTOR ROGUE ARE ON THE CASE!

Meanwhile, Carey could flashback to tell brief Sage vignettes that make her seem likable until eventually it's revealed she actually put the magnet on her own forehead. GASP!

[Hi-Fi]

He said Marvel asked him to choose between Rogue, Cyclops and Sage for this solo project.

We all know the answer by now.

[Pach!]

LOL at some people.


Also I don't understand.. are they just going to reveal 4 members of 1 team? so LOL at me I guess.

[Christopher O]

He said Marvel asked him to choose between Rogue, Cyclops and Sage for this solo project.

We all know the answer by now.
Well, duh! Sage! She's like the consummate X-character.

[Dagger]

GENIUS! We should co-write this and submit it to Marvel! It would be the best selling x-book of all time!!!!

[Cayman]

X-23 looks good. I like her color scheme.

[dotdotdot]

whoa baby i did not expect that

[Beast]

Next image is up. X-23. :)

http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/xmen/disassembled/x-23.jpg

Very 'X-Treme X-Men' in feel. I like it. :)

[claimtosubclaim]

X-23 is on a new team? *sigh* I don't think she belongs outside of the New X-Men, regardless of experience.

[Pach!]

How dark. Nice.

[Euks]

Next image is up. X-23. :)


Not a fan at all of the goth look :( I wonder if she is getting moved from New X-Men or is New X-men going to be relaunched as something else?

[Christopher O]

She's bringing sexy back.

[caney]

I like X-23!!! But I kinda wanted to see more interaction with kids her age. Can't wait to see who's next!

[Dagger]

I like X-23!!! But I kinda wanted to see more interaction with kids her age. Can't wait to see who's next!
Me too on both instances!

[Hi-Fi]

I love this X-23's design. She looks amazingly HOT.

[dotdotdot]

Not a fan at all of the goth look :( I wonder if she is getting moved from New X-Men or is New X-men going to be relaunched as something else?

hrm so cable is teaching the new kids again? sounds fine to me as long as it's the new x-men creative team.

[caney]

I'm also glad they cleared up that Cable is not part of the team they're revealing.

[dotdotdot]

I'm also glad they cleared up that Cable is not part of the team they're revealing.

huh.
well none of this is going to make sense for a few hours anyway. whatever.

[Euks]

I'm also glad they cleared up that Cable is not part of the team they're revealing.

Did they? Or was that just speculation by the poster at Newsarama based on the drastically different art styles?

[Dagger]

I have a feeling Lady Deathstrix-23 is going to be on the Astonishing team. That looks a lot like what's his name who did the Wolverine arc with Loeb.

[jester1436]

This makes me scared for my New X-Men. :(

I wouldn't be reading any current books if not for them with the New Mutants relaunch a few years back.

[Beast]

hrm so cable is teaching the new kids again? sounds fine to me as long as it's the new x-men creative team.
No, it's stated right on Newsarama that they're not in the same book.

[Beast]

I have a feeling Lady Deathstrix-23 is going to be on the Astonishing team. That looks a lot like what's his name who did the Wolverine arc with Loeb.
That's not Bucci's art. The proportions look normal. ;)

[jester1436]

Oh, and even though I'm worried, she's looking great in that pic.

[Dagger]

That's not Bucci's art. The proportions look normal. ;)
What? His name wasn't Bucci, was it?

[Cayman]

The computery look to it reminds me of the guy who has been doing Spectacular Spider-Man from time to time, Crain.

[Pach!]

What? His name wasn't Bucci, was it?

Bianchi.


tenten

[Hi-Fi]

The computery look to it reminds me of the guy who has been doing Spectacular Spider-Man from time to time, Crain.
Nice eye!

It looks so futuristic.

[Christopher O]

The computery look to it reminds me of the guy who has been doing Spectacular Spider-Man from time to time, Crain.
Yeah, I think you're on to something!

[xmanson]

Oh, God, please make Daken part of the new team!!!!

[Dagger]

Bianchi.


tenten
That's it! Now I remember! I still think she's going to be in the new Astonishing book, unless Crain's taking over the art chores for the new New X-Men/X-Force book thingy.

[Beast]

Bianchi.


tenten
Yeah, that's it. I got him mixed up with Tucci. Heh.

[streator]

good to see him back.

about the x-23 image: meh, not crazy about the mask.

[Red Lotus]

I'm lost here. Is this the book that Carey is doing or is this something else?

[Dagger]

All I can say is I hope Larocca is staying faaaaaar away from this book!

[xmanson]

that x-23 pic reminds me of current larroca.

[Christopher O]

good to see him back.

about the x-23 image: meh, not crazy about the mask.
The mask is weird. I wonder if it has infrared technology and some kind of virtual interface like Sage's ZOMG UBERGLASSES.

[Hi-Fi]

I'm lost here. Is this the book that Carey is doing or is this something else?
Something else. Carey's project wont be a team book, remember? :)

[Joe Acro]

about the x-23 image: meh, not crazy about the mask.
To me, it seems like an afterthought.

[Cayman]

All I can say is I hope Larocca is staying faaaaaar away from this book!

He's doing Spider-Man, I think.

[Shadowbrat]

How come no one ever complains about non sense resurections unless it's Jean who was resurected once. Colossus was cremated and scattered over his farm...

That's BECAUSE EVRYONE HAS NATURALLY THAT cOLLosus is still dead and that Kitty is currently F*bleep*ing a Skrull.

[dotdotdot]

i think i just read the word "computery"

[Dagger]

He's doing Spider-Man, I think.
Yeah, but only a story arc for like one month or so. He's also sharing the duties with like 4 other pencillers.

[streator]

The mask is weird. I wonder if it has infrared technology and some kind of virtual interface like Sage's ZOMG UBERGLASSES.

it reminds me of batgirl or something.

[Red Lotus]

With X-23 on the team then that means they got their Wolverine. Now I wonder who the Strong guy on the team will be.

Something else. Carey's project wont be a team book, remember? :)

Ok thanks. I was trying to figure out if they were going to let everyone know what Carey next book was gong to be.

[Cayman]

The mask is weird. I wonder if it has infrared technology and some kind of virtual interface like Sage's ZOMG UBERGLASSES.

Maybe she's possessed by Chthon.

[Christopher O]

it reminds me of batgirl or something.

Maybe she's possessed by Chthon.

So we're talking a Wolverine/Batgirl/Scarlet Witch hybrid with Sage's uber tech? That can't end well.

[Shadowbrat]

Laura looks like she needs some sun

Mabye Laura and Tessa get merged together in the crossover and come out as "X-23.1".

Why would you think that?

Otherwise, she looks okay-ish.

Meh. I'm not really happy...

There Revealing The Lupine Avengers Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Porcelain]

LMAO Cable has a hazard triangle on his arm...

(Why does he have a bolt in his shoulder?)

Kinda like X-23's look, just hope she sticks with New X-men (New Rocks always, er...rock).

[Dagger]

LMAO Cable has a hazard triangle on his arm...

(Why does he have a bolt in his shoulder?)
I'm thinking they're rebooting him to become just a cyborg like he was originally supposed to be.

That's Britwhore Spears, she doesn't count as a woman.

[protogarrett]

LOL

Why would you think that?

I was kidding, lol, still, I kinda liked her concept. Still where is Darwin in all of this? He's in the same closet in the mansion with Husk I guess.

As much as I'm a fan of a character, I REALLY hate this new look for her. :mad:

I'm shocked an appaled that Marvel did this to her.

I mean she looks like Typoid Mary in her new look.:eek:

I'm shocked an appaled that Marvel did this to her.:eek:
It's better than the purple disaster she'd been running around in, not to mention the awful Fang costume Claremont and Davis put her in.

[LordAllMighty]

I don't care what they put her in as long as they give her a real code name and stop calling her X-23.:mad:

[CMBMOOL]

It's better than the purple disaster she'd been running around in, not to mention the awful Fang costume Claremont and Davis put her in.

At least those have something light class, this new suit makes her take a more dark path into the X-mythos. :(

[Beast]

It's better than the purple disaster she'd been running around in, not to mention the awful Fang costume Claremont and Davis put her in.
The Fang costume was hot. Shame she didn't keep it.

[Diablito]

X-23 looks AWESOME! She definitely needs a new codename, and I recommend Sheathe (which was supposed to be Marrow's codename). Cable also looks amazing. I can't wait to hear more of this book.

[CMBMOOL]

I don't care what they put her in as long as they give her a real code name and stop calling her X-23.:mad:

Then what can they call her ? :(

At least those have something light class, this new suit makes her take a more dark path into the X-mythos. :(

Maybe that's the whole point? I don't know. I really like. She does seem a little too pale though.

[Christopher O]

What? That's the point!

[Porcelain]

X-23 looks AWESOME! She definitely needs a new codename, and I recommend Sheathe (which was supposed to be Marrow's codename). Cable also looks amazing. I can't wait to hear more of this book.
I would never be able to read a book with her in without a dirty little giggle again.

(Cyborgs are bad kids)

[Dagger]

The Fang costume was hot. Shame she didn't keep it.
EWWWWWW. That looked bad on Fang!

[Pach!]

The Fang costume was hot. Shame she didn't keep it.

I could not disagree with you more. That was the worst.

[Dagger]

Then what can they call her ? :(
Talon of course!

[Christopher O]

EWWWWWW. That looked bad on Fang!
Dagger's right. That was dreadful and completely unlike X-23.

[Gene M.]

Alllllllllmoooooooooooost update time.....

[Porcelain]

Ooooh, naughty naughty - images have been removed.

[Gene M.]

UPDATE 5:36pm EST: Per Marvel, the images have been removed...

Thumbs down, Marvel. Thumbs down.

[Pwood]

"UPDATE 5:36pm EST: Per Marvel, the images have been removed..."

Anyone else getting this message?

Guess so...

[Dagger]

BOOOOOOOO!:evilangry

[Diablito]

Ridiculous!!!

[Slant]

What a tease.

[soulkiller]

Oh, the cads! Why would they want the images taken down??? Does that mean they won't show anymore??? :mad:

[Porcelain]

Even better: apparently that's this half hour's update. I feel the urge to pout.

[Volk1]

I mean she looks like Typoid Mary in her new look.:eek:

Well, Laura was a prostitute - or a high class one anyways. :p

But in seriousness - she's pretty much been showed to not really care about the restrictions of clothes-wearing. She likes revealing-type clothes and I don't blame her. She rebelled like Megan rebelled - and she stole her fashion sense with it. She's no plain jane like Jean Grey.


Guess this is the new Talon look. I love the mask. :)

[w00tmaster93]

Crap, I missed it...I knew I shouldn't have had people at my house today

[Christopher O]

Ha!

They're such teases!

[jester1436]

Lame-o!

I mean really, woopty doo, Cable is back and X-23 is looking FIERCE.

Hey, Fierce should totally be her code-name. It's better than Talon. I mean, it's a little Next Top Model/Trannylicous/Dance Club Diva/Homoriffic, but she's sort of a transexual clone.

[Christopher O]

Newsarama deleted the article, making this thread seem crazy like QWERTY.

[Maestro]

Somebody from Marvel on the Bendis board said everything would be put out at 9 PM instead

[Porcelain]

Only off the main page, it's still there.

Maybe they're waiting for Sat?

(edit: Or not having read above - damn now I feel cheated it's 11.30pm here already, my interest was mildly piqued and everything...)

[Cayman]

Damn it, I wanted to study Banshee's new look before they took it down.

[Red Lotus]

Damn it, I wanted to study Banshee's new look before they took it down.

Please. Thats nothing, did you see the new look they had for Nate Grey. Man I cant wait for this to come out.

[rwsmith]

Damn. I never got to see the images. Did anyone save them before Marvel made Newsarama take them down?

[Pach!]

EDIT: actually it didn't work.

[Gene M.]

That's not Bucci's art. The proportions look normal. ;)
Bianchi's proportions are excellent!

And his drawings aren't bad, either.

Got it. Thanks. Terminator Cable is back!!! Sweet! Count me in:

And here's X-23:

Looks good. I hope she's part of Cable's new X-Force team!

[Beast]

Jean Grey wearing the White Phoenix costume was the best picture though.

The newsarama article stated clearly that X-23 isn't in the same book as Cable.

[jester1436]

The article stated Cable wouldn't be in the same book as X-23 and the unrevealed characters.

[ProfeZZor X]

So tell me again, what was the purpose of Marvel introducing this new material to us, and then retracting it a couple of hours later?... This ain't Area 51.

[Beast]

As far as I know...

Newsarama thought they had the right to reveal this information exclusively.

Marvel said no, and the images were pulled. Now all sites have to wait for 9 PM.

[jester1436]

The newsarama article stated clearly that X-23 isn't in the same book as Cable.

Boo Beast. :mad:

[Agent_Torpor]

I mean she looks like Typoid Mary in her new look.:eek:

Um, that's not a bad thing.

[Agent_Torpor]

I don't care what they put her in as long as they give her a real code name and stop calling her X-23.:mad:

X-23 sounds much cooler than any cutesy codename they could possibly think up.

[Agent_Torpor]

Yeah, very drag queen, platforms, hip huggers, baby-tee. yuck. Does any girl you know wear those anymore?

You've never been to Burning Man, have you?

[Beast]

X-23 sounds much cooler than any cutesy codename they could possibly think up.
Kyle & Yost already indicated via Nimrod that her codename is Talon.

I'll take that over the continued use of the crappy designation anymore.

[Slung]

Boo for Cable's resurrection. How come he doesn't have to be dead for a few years? Its not like this is his first death and resurrection. Heck, he's died as many times as Jean has. And he's now going to have been resurrected one more time than her.

Boo for Liefeld Terminator Cable.

Boo for Carey being off a team book.

Boo for needless reshuffles every year and frickin' half.

Leave a writer and artist on for at least four years. Lets have some consistency and a chance to actually care about these characters again. I feel like everytime it starts getting into a groove there is some huge reshuffle. Yuck!

[Affinity]

Fucking TEASES. That's so DUMB.

Sorry I don't browse the internet often enough to catch this kind of shit when it goes down!!

[Don Quixote]

Oh Cable's back. I am so shocked yet excited. :rolleyes:

At least I know there's one book I won't have to bother with.

And if they disband the New X-Men, then that's another saving I can make. Moving Laura off that team would be so detrimental to her character... so I expect that's exactly what Marvel are doing.

[frog]

I'm most perturbed. I thought for sure the reveals would be out and this thread would have melted down by now!

[jester1436]

X-23 sounds much cooler than any cutesy codename they could possibly think up.

FIERCE! :mad:

She could always adopt Wolverina as her code-name. I'm still anticipating the vicious Sabrette!

[ProfeZZor X]

As far as I know...

Newsarama thought they had the right to reveal this information exclusively.

Marvel said no, and the images were pulled. Now all sites have to wait for 9 PM.

Well, that's only a couple of hours away (PST)... So I don't see what the big deal is.

[Brett P]

Who's ready for Wolverines 4th team?

No, seriously...

[soulkiller]

Wasn't the big announcement supposed to be 8pm EST? We're 18 minutes past that now aren't we?

[Beast]

Marvel said 9 PM now.

I saw it posted above, but I didn't see it anywhere else.

Thanks Beast. *sigh* This had better be worth it, after all this teasing.

[Brett P]

It really won't be

[Pach!]

It really won't be

Brett, where have you been?

[Slung]

It really won't be

I've never been more anticipating comic book news with more dread. I'm not sure why that is.

[Beast]

It's up!!

http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/xmen/disassembled/X-Who.html

Cable solo and X-Force. :)

[frog]

I'm aggravated because I want to discuss X-Factor which I received early and I know I can't do that until Wednesday, so I want whatever news Marvel is supposed to give us now so I can at least discuss something. I've become part of the instant gratification culture! :o

Beast, I sent you a question in a pm.

[Beast]

The X-Force team almost matches the cover to X-Factor #26. :)

Like I said, Wolverine's 4th team...;)

That latex hood dealie that Wolfsbane has... I don't like it at all.

NRAMA: So does this replace Cable & Deadpool on the schedule?

AA: Yes.


WTF, deadpool better get his own thing

[Slung]

X-Force? Is this supposed to make me excited? I'm rolling my eyes. Because we need another book with Wolverine. I don't care what "role" he plays, my eyes are rolling.

I'm going to make a guess that Alonso was a huge fan of the Liefeld era.

Cable, Bishop, Forge. X-Force with four Wolverine-like characters. I'm sorry.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Cable? YUCK! Damn. Didn't want to him on a monthly title EVER again. Oh well...changes are coming and the world will be set right in time for Uncanny #500!

[Cayman]

Rahne looks kick-ass, like Anubis.

[EnDwiGast]

NRAMA: So does this replace Cable & Deadpool on the schedule?

:evilsmile

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Marvel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brett P]

I'm not liking the sound of this "No X-Men" thing, nor am I liking Laura being seperated from the other X-teens, or the fact that "X-Force" all have the EXACT same power set...

It's all very...weird.

Since X-23 is there, I'm betting Kyle & Yost aren't far behind...

[Red Lotus]

Wow. This is, well not good. An X-Force book that I dont care about and a Cable book thats takes the place of Cable/Deadpool:mad:. What does this mean about Deadpool. Will Deadpool get his own book too.

Freaking karma this what I get for being so happy that Cable was dead and Deadpool was taking the book over.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

Please. Thats nothing, did you see the new look they had for Nate Grey. Man I cant wait for this to come out.

WHOA! Nate Grey?! When and where?!

[Brian M.]

WHOA! Nate Grey?! When and where?!

We're joking. Only pics shown were Cable and Nate Grey.

[frog]

I'm actually dissapointed that the Cable and Deadpool title won't continue. Cable is always so deathly serious he needs Deadpool as his foil.

[soulkiller]

Umm...

What if I told you there wouldn’t even be an X-Men after the event?

I'd say WTF??? I don't know what to think of this. Have to say I'm not really interested in Cable having his own series. X-force...*sigh* I'm not really excited about that much either.

Oh well, I was kinda expecting something ...more.

At least the art was pretty.

[Brett P]

WHOA! Nate Grey?! When and where?!

No-where...

[Elias Bogan]

X-Force? Is this supposed to make me excited? I'm rolling my eyes. Because we need another book with Wolverine. I don't care what "role" he plays, my eyes are rolling.

Cable, Bishop, Forge. X-Force with four Wolverine-like characters. I'm sorry.

This whole thing has been scratching my head. What exactly is Marvel trying to accomplish here? No more X-Men? Are they they trying to further splinter the fanbase and give some long-time readers an excuse to jump off?

And no, this is not a rant against Bruabker in any way. I'd rather they just keep Bru and Carey on their current titles for at least another year. There is no need to change things right now.

[Volk1]

That's Wolfsbane?! WTF!

Why Wolverine and X-23 on the same team?

I don't know how to feel... I like the mood and tone...but who's the leader...who's the brains?

[Joe Acro]

Crane and Olivetti? That's not very encouraging.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

No-where...

Ok..back to the regularly scheduled program because Cable STILL SUCKS. Always have...always will. And another Wolverine book? Pitiful.

[Red Lotus]

WHOA! Nate Grey?! When and where?!

It was a joke since they took it down. I just throw his name out there.

[Brett P]

Brett, where have you been?

Hey :D

I've been locked away with Darren Hayes new album...25 tracks is a lot to learn ready for seeing him at the Royal Albert Hall next month woo hoo!

My brain can only register excitement for one thing at a time, hence I havn't been doing much of the ol' comic board-ing for a few weeks...but you know, I'm liking being entirely spoiler-free.

Although the New X-Men threads here and at Comixfan are distressingly neglected.

And these new titles smell of poo. Rahne taken away from X-Factor = dire dog shit.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

It was a joke since they took it down. I just throw his name out there.

It was too good to be true anyway.

[UncannyAsianGirl]

Hmm... is it me, or do the X-Force costumes with masks/red eyes remind anyone vaguely of the "Shadow X-Men" or whatever from New Excalibur? And also, it sorta reminds me of the "Ascension" episodes from X-Men Evolution, where similar masks (but yellow eyes instead of red) were used to control Storm, Xavier, Mystique, and Magneto...

The uniforms scream "emotionless/soulless killing machines" more than anything else... :eek:

It leads me to think that they're not on this team of their own free will, and that someone's pulling the strings. Perhaps some covert government facility? I think more will become clear once we find out what their mission statement is, and who's behind the founding of this team.

Oh yea, I hope that Deadpool still winds up in a monthly title somewhere. He and his supporting cast are too fun to let go into limbo... I know he's going to have a few stories in "Marvel Comics Presents", but 8 pages at a time isn't enough. :(

[NickThompson]

The book idea seems good, but I hope Deadpool is either in a book or getting his own.

[Brett P]

It was too good to be true anyway.

Eh you never know. He might be in Cables book along with Bishop and Forge and other such characters to make me care about it even less.

I'm predicting my X-titles will be far fewer after Messiah...

[Volk1]

WTF? No more Deadpool?!!!! Fabian Nicieza and Deadpool fans get the shaft again.

[CaptainCanada]

Man, Warpath looks like a giant in that last team shot, beside short-guy Wolverine and two petite chicks.

I was going to say I'm surprised that Laura, Rahne, and James are being taken out of three titles where they really work, but since Wolverine isn't being restricted to just this one, that may be the case for them too (otherwise, it must have been painful for Kyle and Yost to let go of Laura, and David seems to have an ongoing story with Rahne that he'd have to wrap up lickety-split; and Warpath is the one character from Brubaker's run that everyone really likes).

I must admit, I'm quite interested to see what the X-scape looks like in the future.

[EnDwiGast]

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CABLE is free!

After four years I can finally read a book he is in without having to skip half of it.

Thank you again, Marvel!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Don Quixote]

X-Force? Is this supposed to make me excited? I'm rolling my eyes. Because we need another book with Wolverine. I don't care what "role" he plays, my eyes are rolling.


A whole world of Word. And what's that? Wolverine will also appear elsewhere? Never! Who would have thought it.

X-Force, not interested. Three characters I don't care about and one who would have benefited far more from staying with the New X-Men.

And a Cable book? Wow, how much do I not care about that. The only time he's ever been anything near bearable is when he was Deadpool's straight man. Even then, I found myself skipping over his self-righteous, overwraught dialogue.

[Novaya Havoc]

I DO NOT APPRECIATE RAHNE BEING TAKEN FROM X-FACTOR!

But maybe this means Dazzler can join X-Factor.

LOL

Those news are just crappy.

All those characters in black leather. Is CC writing it?

Who says they're not going with her?

I'm not that excited about this myself. I don't hate the characters but none are my favorites.

X-23 needs to be fed.

[EnDwiGast]

I agree. If they are taking her from the team, then i hope they have some well thought out and important plans for her. If she is going to be on a team of killers, then they really need to let us know how she got to that point and make it convincing.

I think Peter david could do a great job with Dazzler. I don't know what their role will be after the shake-up, but if its still some sort of bridge between the mutant and non-mutant worlds, Dazzler would be perfect for that.

[Cayman]

Rahne hasn't done anything of note in X-Factor since the first issue.

[Affinity]

Disappointed in Rahne's removal, too! NO FAIR NO FAIR NANANANA

I was just starting to like her, too.
