[CaptainCanada]

Looks good.

Ugh, Ramos drawing fight scenes; that's when his art is at its worst. What I wouldn't have given for Mike Perkins or someone like that to do the NXM issues of this crossover.

[Nyssane]

The shot of the Marauders surrounding the X-Men is brill. Frenzy looks fierce.

[Cayman]

What a surly X-Position.

[pryde15]

run Trance run!

looks like a good issue, definetly getting it tomorrow.

[Red Lotus]

She. He called me a she.

[CmX]

Oh noes Regan! :(

[GeneralSpecific]

OMFG... What a lame final question. The baby is NOT Rachel Grey.
But possible nervous breakdown for Madrox? Gonna be intense with a unique personality disorder like that.
Intensely amazing, that is!

[CmX]

OMFG... What a lame final question. The baby is NOT Rachel Grey.

I agree that was pretty retarded.

[Flameworthy]

Poor Sunfire.:(

[RickyD410]

HATE Ramos's art. I cant tell whats happening there at all. Urg.

The students look good though. I dont mind his conversation panels, but his fighting panels are just terrible.

[GeneralSpecific]

I agree that was pretty retarded.

I conceed that it might work in a convoluted, comic-book logic way, but it's not gonna happen.

[Mitteloss]

He said it looks like Lady Mastermind is dead. That could mean different things, but I'll miss her. It's sad, how a year ago, she was my highlight of Mike Carey's X-Men. Her illusions and dialogue were fun and funny.

Poor Trance!

[Sanctus]

Nice to see Surge stepping up. If she gets seriously injured, everything would be perfect.....except for the fact that Bishop might not make it off the island alive.

[Brent1974]

Very good answers heh :)

[Cayman]

I refuse to believe Lady Mastermind is dead. The X-Men have so few good villains anymore; I'd like to believe Marvel is wise enough to keep one of the breakout characters of the last year or so alive.

[scouse mouse]

We all would like to believe it but...:(

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that he said that it looks like she is dead because of her illusions. I can't believe that Mike Carey would allow her to be killed off after all his great work with her. Or if it was editorial at least let himself be the writer who offed her!

[Flameworthy]

Why does Frenzy look like she's flying?

[Pach!]

There are a couple of questions that make me want to spay and neuter society.


I like the art though! :)

[Nyssane]

Why does Frenzy look like she's flying?

I think she's jumping down onto them. Unless Exodus is making her hover.

Well that was a waste of time....

[dotdotdot]

terrible terrible terrible questions for the most part. everyone involved should be ashamed. kudos to david for always handling it brilliantly.

and man that ramos art is looking amazing. weird poses and all.

[Sanctus]

Well that was a waste of time....

Agreed, except for the preview.

[Pro]

Love PAD's answer to Magneto :p

and man that ramos art is looking amazing. weird poses and all.

The poses are actually one of the things i have against his art. While I like his linework, the thickness of it and the angular chins versus the wide round eyes his poses often annoy me and make his art look wholly unnatural. If he toned that down some I'd like his art better.

[George Tramountanas]

She. He called me a she.

My apologies. Your name is entirely too sexy. ;)

[Kid Icarus]

I wonder if some of the people who ask questions even read the forums here. Because it is hard for me to believe that people would still be asking baby identity questions, unless they are just trying to make people angry.

But yessir, wonderful art
I have like Ramos phases
where i go from hating it to loving it

To be fair though, I bitch about the questions every week yet send in nothing so I shouldn't complain. I just have a big mouth.

[Victorious]

Peter David is a genious. Great and entretaining anwers to boring and stupid questions.

About Humberto Ramos, i always love his art, specially in teens (Crimson, Out There, etc) but it's true that his battles scenes are a bit messy. I'm happy he did the NXM issues of the crossover. Plus, he is the only one in the whole crossover who does know who the others students are and don't just draw random faces. And i love when he draw teens characters in civil clothes.

[Kid Icarus]

haha
yes, but even if you sent in brilliant questions about theory and philosophy, the baby questions would probably still get answered.

[Fatguy]

I liked this X-Position, much much much better than last week's ;)

And Rahne going for the jugular! :eek:

[Red Lotus]

terrible terrible terrible questions for the most part. everyone involved should be ashamed. kudos to david for always handling it brilliantly.

and man that ramos art is looking amazing. weird poses and all.

Some times you have to throw in a few soft balls to try to catch them off guard. The only questions I really wanted an answer to were the Lalya one and the Lady M one.

My apologies. Your name is entirely too sexy. ;)

No problem.

[Flight]

Sunfire needs a serious beheading..
I hope Hepzibah kicks him in his traitor horseman face.

[chickrockguitar]

Run kids, run!!!
Man, I hope Predator X does eat my fave kids :(

[Beast]

Hey, Mystique finally admitted to killing Moira. Guess the guilt finally got to her. :D

[Brian M.]

If Papabaron is here...please show yourself. You don't have to step all the way into daylight, I don't need that much light to get a good shot.

[Boogie]

Peter David gives the best X-positions. He's such an ass. I wuv him.

[Brett P]

Run kids, run!!!
Man, I hope Predator X does eat my fave kids :(

You hope he DOES? :eek: :D

Ramos kids are cute, the rest is ugly.

[Beast]

See, I told you we should have kept Scalphunter. :D

Don't cry Andres, it's all going to be okay ..

[Boogie]

He's a surly genius.

Which over weight gentleman do i love more? FG or PAD. Hmmm...
Wait, Big Guy, is your middle initial A as well? Cuz if so, you win.

[Beast]

He's a surly genius.
Plus he's damn handsome dressed as X-Men's Beast. :D

Wow. An uninformative x-position, what a shocker. I can never think of any question, but surely there's more possibilities than next week spoilers and crazy theories about who is the baby?

Ramos art look great, but his fight scenes are such a mess sometimes...
Wolverine getting shot in the head was awesome. I love Kyle and Yost's hyper violence with the right characters, X-Force is gonna be great.

Damn, I was really hoping Preddy would eat Surge and Indra...

I forgot I'd quoted you LOL I agree it's nice to see Ramos is the only one acknowledging the NXM students and not just drawing everyone as random faces and X-23 not in pink. I think Bacahlo pays attention as well, or it might be most likely Carey.

[Ann Nichols]

terrible terrible terrible questions for the most part. everyone involved should be ashamed. kudos to david for always handling it brilliantly.

I'm not ashamed of my question, only the way it which it was edited.

[Brent1974]

Hey, Mystique finally admitted to killing Moira. Guess the guilt finally got to her. :D

Wait, when was this revealed?? I though Moira died of the Legacy Virus??

[Beast]

Wait, when was this revealed?? I though Moira died of the Legacy Virus??
She was dying from it. But Mystique finished the job when she was working on a cure.

From Wikipedia:
Moira did eventually find a cure for the disease, when the terrorist Mystique manipulated her research to force the virus to target only humans. Mystique, partly assisted by Sabretooth, then destroyed Muir Island, de-powered Wolfsbane, and brutally injured Moira. Bishop, Wolverine, and Rogue attempted to save Moira's life. Despite Rogue's powers temporarily granting her medical knowledge, she was unable to do so. She clung to life long enough to mentally transfer the information to Xavier in one final embrace between the former lovers. She died in the X-Men's jet, far above the Atlantic Ocean, and was later buried in Scotland.
Mystique later claimed to Xavier, in Mystique's solo series, that she wasn't responsable. That an imposter had copied her genetics and was the one responsible for killing Moira and other attacks.

[Monty_Cristo]

Hey, Mystique finally admitted to killing Moira. Guess the guilt finally got to her. :D

worst retcon ever

[Beast]

worst retcon ever
The fact she claimed she didn't do it. Or the fact she admitted to it?

[Brent1974]

worst retcon ever

Yup. no wonder Wolverine's next arc will be 'Get Mystique'. I wonder if Xavier now knowing about Mystique killing Moira sends him after her. Unless Xavier doesnt know??

[Archsilver]

No one mentioned the coolest part of the preview!

Spoiler:

When Wolvie get shot through the eye bye Scalphunter and the bullet "tinks" in the back of his admantium skull!

I am enjoying Ramos' art more and more but i do agree it work better on the youger characters.

Can't wait to read the issue tomorrow!

[Fatguy]

Which over weight gentleman do i love more? FG or PAD. Hmmm...
Wait, Big Guy, is your middle initial A as well? Cuz if so, you win.

Nope, sorry, it's a "T".

Plus he's damn handsome dressed as X-Men's Beast. :D

LOL!

[Monty_Cristo]

if he did know, he's got some serious explaining to do to Moira's ghost. he used Raven as his spy; set her up with a house, weaponry, and everything. plus, that would make Chuck a real deuchebag for trusting Mystique with one of his pupils.

The fact she claimed she didn't do it. Or the fact she admitted to it?

yes

He didn't know at the time. She claimed it wasn't her, and he couldn't read her mind.

[DeniseXfrost]

Retarded answers.

[Brent1974]

He didn't know at the time. She claimed it wasn't her, and he couldn't read her mind.

Thats what I mean, since he didn't know then, he obviously must know very soon here. And would he have the guts to send Wolverine out to brimng her back in for interrogations etc?? To atone for her crimes etc??

[Beast]

Retarded answers.
That's a bit much. Most of the questions were why the answers were unsatisfying.

Marvel and PAD arn't going to blow planned stories by revealing spoilers after all.

[Pach!]

Retarded answers.

Which ones?

[frog]

You've got to look at the X-Positions with common sense. They aren't going to answer questions that spoil the upcoming issues.

The best thing is to enjoy the preview art.

[Trey]

Mr. David,

What happens in your next 4 issues? Who dies?

Also, is the baby Jean Grey, cuz it has red hair?

Thanks in advance

[Red Lotus]

Thats what I mean, since he didn't know then, he obviously must know very soon here. And would he have the guts to send Wolverine out to brimng her back in for interrogations etc?? To atone for her crimes etc??

Wolverine will go after her his self or Cyclops will send him after her.

[Flameworthy]

Sunfire needs a serious beheading..
I hope Hepzibah kicks him in his traitor horseman face.

No, he just needs to be written in character, and not as a two dimensional villain.

[Omega Alpha]

Say what you want, but no one gives funnier interviews than PAD.

[DeniseXfrost]

That's a bit much. Most of the questions were why the answers were unsatisfying.

Marvel and PAD arn't going to blow planned stories by revealing spoilers after all.
Which ones
He's trying too hard to sound nonchalant or funny.

[MarvelGirlBoy]

Retarded answers?? Actual braindead vegetable questions (some, not all). That last question was akin to "Confirm the veracity of my conspiracy theory fanfiction."

My question at the next X-Position is going to be:

"I notice how Predator X drools a lot. You know who also drools? Qwerty! Are they in fact the same character, also known as Onslaught?"

Seriously, I think it's a winner.

PAD is awesome. His answers are always telling and ambiguous - which is the most you can hope for when things can't be confirmed.

He said it looks like Lady Mastermind is dead. That could mean different things, but I'll miss her. It's sad, how a year ago, she was my highlight of Mike Carey's X-Men. Her illusions and dialogue were fun and funny.

"looks that way". I'm about 90% sure that's a clue right there. She may not show up for a while, but I suspect we have not seen the last of her. Prove me right, Carey.

You hope he DOES? :eek: :D

Ramos kids are cute, the rest is ugly.

His Mystique almost works in the first panel, but no. His Sinister?! Let's not. Actually, I like his Indra. Though it was clearly supposed to be Anole saving him, not Surge.

Love "I'm not letting him". C&C do really good minimal dialogue. Like Wolverine's line - I actually like him for all of one panel before he trades a bullet for an eyeball.

[streator]

decent preview pages. hepzibah fighting exodus on that one page should be pretty one-sided. who's the girl with indra and wolfcub in the window? is that loa?

[Hi-Fi]

Good Lord, people. George does his best to present a cool article for us every week and all we have here are people bitching about the questions selected. Why don't you all send YOUR questions then?

Red Lotus and Ann are forgiven. LOL.

[frog]

I'm just glad PAD answered the question about Sinister being taken down. I've been so tired of hearing how it's impossible that Mystique could have done it. Anybody is capable of being taken by surprise, especially someone as arrogant as Sinister. The bigger they are . . .

I'm not bitching about the questions selected, unless there were a lot of better questions that weren't. In which case, I am. Otherwise, though, I am bitching about the questions asked in the first place.

There were some that were fine. Red Lotus' were fairly good, as were Valeria Kementari's.

It wasn't directed to anyone in particular, I just think it isn't cool to be all "lamest thing ever" and "another horrid X-Position" when the author took his time to select questions, talk to the writer and put the text together. :)

[MarvelGirlBoy]

It wasn't directed to anyone particularly, I just think it isn't cool to be all "lamest thing ever" and "another horrid X-Position" when the author took his time to select questions, talk to the writer and put the text together. :)

You are correct. X-Positions themselves are little gems for which I am grateful. I wouldn't have even kept up with MC without them! It's just a pity that the writers are sometimes presented with some real snippets of idiocy.

I'll try and think of a good question to ask, as well.

[frog]

No it's definitely not cool. They just simply aren't going to give away major spoilers in these interviews, we shouldn't expect them to.

I love the way Surge seems to be determined to redeem herself. Like she said earlier, she's not going to let Indra die.

[Victorious]

good for surge, she's thinking clearly again!

i hate how the others students are potrayed so scared everytime something attacks them. i'm tired of the "please, don't kill me. i don't want to die!" (indra, wolfcub, pixie, trance...). of course they'd be scare, specially after what they've been through, but they need to change that attitude! they all used to train in the danger room, and they can't expect to be save by the main team everytime. and indra's power is to armor himself up, he did it instantaneously when rockslide blew up but he can't do it when pred x is almost eating his head?!

the others students need to show what they're capable of!

Charles certainly didn't trust her.

Summary of the first issue of "Mystique":
http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/issues/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=1225

Charles' opinion of the possibility of Mystique being an X-Woman:

#2
http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/issues/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=1323

#3 -- Mystique figured Charles would rather risk her life than another innocent's. (I didn't believe Charles when he told her she was wrong.)

http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/issues/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=1323

#7 -- Mystique jokes about going to the school and giving the students a lecture. Xavier implies he'd kill her if she came within 100 yards of the school:

http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/issues/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=1485

Personally, I thought it was the height of generosity/the honorable thing to do for Xavier to shake her hand for a job well done in spite of her previous crimes (#6).

[Beast]

Can Anyone Tell Me, What The Hell Happend To Rictor? We Haven't Hear Anything From Him In A While.
He was infiltrating the Purifiers, but blew his cover to save the New X-Men kids.

Since he doesn't have any powers to add to the battle, he's probably just chillin'.

[Beast]

rictor, storm, pixie, nezhno... they seem to forget about certain characters...
Rictor's cover was blown. He doesn't have any powers to aid the battle.

As for Storm, good question. She's taking care of her true love... Forge.

Pixie came back with the New X-Men. So I assume she's probably in medbay with Beast.

Nezhno got blasted point blank by a Sentinel. I assume he was chillin' in medbay also.

[Victorious]

you could be right but they are still all presumptions, they need to explain certain things about certain characters ...
for all we know gentle could be dead... let's hope not!

thing is that Xavier thought it was ok to keep Mystique around when Forge, her former lover, had no faith in her. that's incredibly naive on the Professor's part; considering how Moira died (imo). he should have cut her loose the moment she broke rank and murdered someone. as it is, Xavier was being played the entire time by the Quiet Man. this could have ended much much worse. it's not like Mystique risking her neck to save shortpack was in character or anything; not to mention tipping Forge off before making an attempt on Xavier's life.

[Flâneur]

Someone should totally ask if the baby is Qwerty.

[ROGUEX2008]

Who Is Qwerty?

[ClanAskani]

OMFG... What a lame final question. The baby is NOT Rachel Grey.

Yeah, that question was kinda weak. No offense to the person who asked it, but Rachel's got an origin and without Jean around, she's not gonna be born here and doesn't need to be. One Rachel is fine.

I wish Bishop or Cable would call the baby by her name and end all this speculation on who the baby is. (unless Cable names the baby Jean after Jean, then that would be wrong and confusing).

[Trey]

Someone should totally ask if the baby is Qwerty.

Why? Its so obviously Jean Grey.

From my recap of UXM #490:

PAGE THREE:

[A wrinkled, skinny, vacant-faced woman lies on her back in an awkward position. To the right are the stumps of two lit candles and a plate from which cute rats are eating.]

SKIDS (OFF-PANEL DIALOGUE BOXES): Qwerty had a miserable life, even for a Morlock. She never moved, never spoke, never even made a decision. Her power wouldn't let her.

[Ororo & James watching Sally]

SKIDS: Because Qwerty not only saw exactly how every choice would work out, she saw how all the options of every choice would work out. The long-term consequences of something as simple as flipping a light switch on, or leaving it off.
Poor woman!

[Everyone looking at the light at the end of the tunnel]

SKIDS: It got to where she couldn't make choices at all. All she could see were the consequences. So she froze up. They fed her, cleaned up after her, but she was pretty useless.

[Ororo looks sad]

SKIDS (OFF-PANEL): Then one morning she saw it... saw M-Day coming. Saw her powers vanishing. She saw the world changing before her, in more ways than she could grasp... and she finally did something.

[Qwerty writing with her bare fingers or fingernails. Poor lady -- I wish she'd called for pen and paper.]

SKIDS (OFF-PANEL DIALOGUE BOX): She wrote the Book.

PAGE NINE:

[Caliban and Ororo stand in front of a door. Sally is a little way behind them. There are a lot of lit candle stubs fixed to rubble. I still wonder if it's safe to light candles in a sewer.]

STORM: So... this book is their religious text?
SKIDS: Freakier. It's more like a map to possibilities. I've tried to read it a few times since I went undercover with these people... but it makes no sense to me... not really.

[Caliban and Ororo staring, wide-eyed, Sally smiling]

SKIDS: Still... this place has to be seen to be believed... My advice, take a few moments to let it all sink in.

[The chamber looks rather like a Christian church, with people bowing or kneeling and lots of lit candles, a staircase leading to a spot with more lit candles. Apparently, the Morlocks have sculpted metal or cut up a very large black cloth in the form of arched windows. The largest arch forms the Magneto helmet symbol. A gray-haired woman who wears a long robe and holds a big book in her hands is coming down the curved staircase. Yes, if you closely, you'll notice the big, if thin, hooped earrings that are easier to see in the next page.]

OLD WOMAN: Greetings, Ororo... former Lord of Morlocks, who is called Storm. Welcome to Lindisfarne, sanctuary of the New Dream. You're right on time... as expected.

Who Is Qwerty?


Destiny type Morlock who supposedly forsaw both M-Day, and the future of Mutantkind. Died after writing the whole story on the walls of the tunnels.
