[Beast]

Hmm, so Ink isn't a complete A-Hole. He at least refuses to kill.

My guess why they keep Donald Pierce's face in shadow. He's still wearing Cyclops' face.

[Atom_basher]

I think that preview is really good, cant wait

[worstblogever]

Why does Santo say... Four vs. One, when there's clearly only three of them there?

(Is this where Guggenheim shows up and says, "Good boy."?)

[pryde15]

Hmm, so Ink isn't a complete A-Hole. He at least refuses to kill.

My guess why they keep Donald Pierce's face in shadow. He's still wearing Cyclops' face.

So he does have a heart, the size of it is questionable, but still.

I'm not sure I am liking Wolf Cub though... he just disembowled Magma. But I am intrigued to read the rest of the issue, now.

[Beast]

Santo can't count. You shouldn't make fun of him!

[Beast]

Well, she did turn Dust to Glass. Magma sorta deserved it.

Though she does have an excellent point about Sooraya's name not really being accurate.

[booga]

the yanick panic is still about

[Home made ectoplasm]

I'm not sure I am liking Wolf Cub though... he just disembowled Magma.

He does WHAT!? All the better when Guggenheim kills him off then :mad:

*goes off to read preview*

Magma sorta deserved it.

I'm watching you...

[pryde15]

Well, she did turn Dust to Glass. Magma sorta deserved it.

Though she does have an excellent point about Soorya's name not really being accurate.

I thought the glass part was cool, interesting use of Amara's powers. Besides we already know that Sooraya will be alright.

[Beast]

Yeah, but Guggenheim's teased she may have to change her codename.

So my guest she either adopts "Sand", which would probably cause some racial grumbling.

Or she keeps her new glass form and powers and adopts the name "Glass", which would be cool.

[pryde15]

Yeah, but Guggenheim's teased she may have to change her codename.

I'd hope glass form aswell.

[protogarrett]

On asking Ink to kill Blindfold:

Dear Cyclops,
Fuck you. I liked you before as rationalized you did what you had to as a leader. But now, fuck you.

[protogarrett]

Ew, do not keep her as glass, Husk already can do that. And if she can become shards of glass, maybe we call her Shard and piss off Bishop?

[Pach!]

On asking Ink to kill Blindfold:

Dear Cyclops,
Fuck you. I liked you before as rationalized you did what you had to as a leader. But now, fuck you.

That isn't Cyclops at all. Look at what the shadowed person is wearing on page 1.

[Home made ectoplasm]

That was Donald Pierce :confused:

[Beast]

That isn't Cyclops at all. Look at what the shadowed person is wearing on page 1.
Exactly. And I'm pretty sure from the clues that have been dropped that he's also the Cyclops in the book.

[Pach!]

Exactly. And I'm pretty sure from the clues that have been dropped that he's also the Cyclops in the book.

Yeah. Tho what I meant was that's not even Pierce pretending to be "Cyclops". It's just Pierce.

[The Cool Thatguy]

How did Wolfcub take down Magma? He barely scratched her side and if his claws were poison, I'd think tthat the heat would have destroyed it.

[Beast]

The artist probably wanted to avoid gore to maintain the book's T+ rating.

It's implied that he ripped open her back with his claws.

[fitditz]

Not a bad preview (still iffy on the art). Considering the first 2 issues were total crap (sorry), hopefully the book will start to get on track.

[MuhollandDriver]

I doubt Magma is dead.

She is on the Uncanny X-Men 500 cover.

[The Lucky One]

The artist probably wanted to avoid gore to maintain the book's T+ rating.

It's implied that he ripped open her back with his claws.

Wouldn't his hand, like... burn off? :confused: Her magma form is hot enough to melt bullets before they hit her.

Oh well, it's comics.

-D

[ToxicTeen]

A couple of things bother me while looking at the preview:

Wolfcub slashing Magma and it Works - I don't think Wolfcub would be able to slash Magma unconscious and still be able to keep his hand. It would have made more sense if Rockslide was able to knock her out since he's made of rock and he doesn't have to worry about burning himself while touching her.

That "Four Against One" line - Probably a common typo error, still Guggenheim should have double check on that...:rolleyes:

Dust turning into Glass(I'm assuming that's temporary)- The fight looked cool though Guggenheim bother not change Dust's powers and/or form.

Ink going to lose his hair- I still don't understand why Guggenheim is going make Ink become bald. At least I know he's not a total jerk when he says he's not killer.

[HeckBoy]

Why does Santo say... Four vs. One, when there's clearly only three of them there?

(Is this where Guggenheim shows up and says, "Good boy."?)
Same thing I was wondering.

Wouldn't his hand, like... burn off? :confused: Her magma form is hot enough to melt bullets before they hit her.

Oh well, it's comics.

-DI'm wondering if Wolf Cub has a healing factor or if him just saying "It'll grow back" means the burn wasn't that bad.

[Kid Icarus]

This preview actually made me smile
which is weird because the first two issues didnt
and thi was the first Santo line in a long time
that made me smile

Bodacious bod
heh

[Brett P]

"Four against one?" when there's three of them? Did Santo count himself twice?

Infact, this group had a mysterious two Rockslides last issue aswell when Cyclops said TO ROCKSLIDE "You Rockslide, and Santo and Dust and Wolf Cub".

I like Nicks new codename on page 3 too - "Wol Fcub"...sloppiness all around.

Guggs missed a "holy crap" moment in favour of holy "God" when Santo discovered glass Dust. And did Rockslide really say "bodacious bod"?!

What's the big deal with Dusts codename anyway? Does Cyclops really have one eye?

What with annoying errors, questionable content and continually sub par art, I can't get behind this book at all.

[Joe Franklin]

Dust turning into Glass(I'm assuming that's temporary.


It better be permanent. :wink:

[Mr.EZ]

And did Rockslide really say "bodacious bod"?!

Of course he did, it is 1986 after all.

This comic is a clusterf*ck. I picked up 1 and 2, but 3 is staying on the shelf.

[greenshoes713]

i high five anyone who quotes dane cook and says no to bad comic books

[Old No.7]

I liked the preview.

This plot is picking up.

[Pro]

Yeah. Tho what I meant was that's not even Pierce pretending to be "Cyclops". It's just Pierce.

I bet Cyclops is disguised as Pierce disguised as Cyclops just so he can order more bloodshed and confuse and corrupt young minds. He's such a bastard!

Dust turning into Glass(I'm assuming that's temporary)-

They just have to grind her to dust again.

[Mr.EZ]

i high five anyone who quotes dane cook and says no to bad comic books

I didn't quote Cook, because I loath him and his lazy comedy. I do say no to bad books though, so I'm only going to be able to half-high you.

[ClanAskani]

At least the plot is moving forward, but I'm not sure about the way Dani and Amara are acting.

I don't expect this to really pick up until the next arc and all the business with the fake Cyclops and attacking the original New Mutants is over.

[Madrox84]

Oi!

This title continues to be a complete disaster...

Bring back New X-Men and C&C.

[The Cool Thatguy]

It better be permanent. :wink:

Glass is just slow moving sand. No reason why Dust can't fix herself, given time.

[Charybdis4]

Oh lordy - poor old Magma, if she's not a raving lunatic, she gets taken out by a 2 legged Yorkshire Terrier...........????

[Beast]

Oi!

This title continues to be a complete disaster...

Bring back New X-Men and C&C.
No thank you.

[Push You Down]

They just have to grind her to dust again.

Doc Ock turned Sandman into glass at one point.. I think that's how they fixed him.

[Toboe]

Well, it sure looks better than the last two issues together. But I still don't give a damn about Ink. And Wolf Cub taking Magma out with one hit? Really?

I hope Rockslide's "four against one" line is a hint towards Greymalkin or whoever invisible someone that helped Blindfold last issue, or otherwise it's a terrible mistake.

[Pach!]

He kinda does when he uses his visor.

Yeah but "Invisituity" couldn't be with Blindfold/Ink at Danis hut and with Rockslide etc at the same time.

Another thing, Rockslide is all cocky about going up against Magma yet in the last issue, seconds before this, he's all "I'm starting to wish we bought Cyclops with us"...

Maybe we can put all the mistakes with numbers, inconsistant attitudes and whatnot down to the mysterious invisible entity!

He kinda does when he uses his visor.

And dust is kinda like sand. Except it makes a cooler codename. Same reason Hank was called "Beast" and not "Bigfoot".

[greenshoes713]

im a bad high fiver any way so that always happens

when this gets cancelled i really hope they find a way to erase it out of continuity or recon it somehow

[La Fea]

This looks AWESOME!!! I am liking this book more and more!

I'm loving Ink as a bad guy and I'm also liking how there are lines he doesn't cross (for now).

Its too bad we know Dust will be okay (not that its really bad, but I mean...we just kinda know her fate), but I'm loving how this is playing out.

AND...

...we get the faces with the name tags thingy again!!!! LOL, I just loved those.

Seriously.

Anyway, Young X-Men isn't my favorite title, but its the one I most anticipate reading because I'm really expecting some risks, twists, and turns.

I don't think she's changing her codename any time soon. Amara was just pointing out that she doesn't turn into dust...which she doesn't. And Beast isn't bigfoot-ish. even less so now.

Ditto... gone from hating his very concept to actually sort of liking Ink too.

Great preview... I'll never understand how anyone could dislike a comic with nude Magma spread over pavement.

[Brett P]

...we get the faces with the name tags thingy again!!!! LOL, I just loved those.

I especially love how hideous they all look and the space in the wrong place in Wol fCubs name.

I don't think she's changing her codename any time soon. Amara was just pointing out that she doesn't turn into dust...which she doesn't. And Beast isn't bigfoot-ish. even less so now.

Amara says Sooraya wasn't appropriately named. Beast had big hands and feet when he was given his codename. There was nothing "Beast"ly about him. (even if his footie mates called him it).

But you're right, the fact she turns to sand needed to be stated in the issue to explain the glass thing, so it's no big deal. Peace!

[pryde15]

I especially love how hideous they all look and the space in the wrong place in Wol fCubs name.

Blindfold & Dust both look excellent. The others are just ok, but still.

HAW.

EWW.
Nude Fat Karma FTW.

The Glass thing
HAW.
:biggrin:

Josef, did you LOL upon reading that?

Because I did and I feel terrible about it.
I need validation!

LOL Glass looked ice_cold.

[Kalen O.]

Clearly, the polarizing variable in Ink's character is his hair.

When we first saw Ink, he had no hair, and he was hated by all.

Now, he has hair and people like him.

Obviously his hair is the source of his powers.

Like a wannabe ghetto mutant Samson.

ZOMG DONT CUT HIS HAIR, GUGGS!

[DeniseXfrost]

Wolfclub is so lame with his "It'll grow back" line...trying to be like Wolverine and he shouldn't be able to touch Magma.


Magma is hot! I mean sexy hot!

[timbox]

Aside from the Wolf Cub gutting Magma thing, this looks pretty good. Seems to be going in the right direction.

I guess Wolf Cub has adamantium claws now!?

Magma is hot! I mean sexy hot!

[DeniseXfrost]

Magma is hot! I mean sexy hot!
:rolleyes: noone can be that lazy!

[timbox]

:rolleyes: noone can be that lazy!

What? :eek: Do you not agree with my spontaneously original thought on Magma? :wink:

[Reflex]

Magma.

A woman whose body becomes superheated to the temperature of magma i.e. 700°C to 1300°C...

Taken down, in her superheated form, by a castrated version of wolverine who appears to have had an inexplicable growth spurt and personality bypass since his previous New X-men appearances’..

I'm sorry. But no. No way. Not going to happen. That's almost as daft as a giant bullet flying through space to destroy the earth.

Next you'll tell me Sentry will fly really fast around the earth and turn back time.
That every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings (or looses 'em...)
That the reason Northstar never has a boyfriend is because he just so happens to be allergic to touch...

C'mon Marvel..... For crying out loud. Stand up to your name. 'Marvel' us with your brilliance, forward thinking and phenomenal story telling. Don't astound us with your stupidity and damn right sloppy writing!

**Goes off to sulk in a corner and read back-issues of the original New Mutants**

[The Lucky One]

Hey, we don't know - maybe it's a dream sequence. Maybe the next page will reveal it as Wolf Cub's mind creating a fantasy where he takes down one of the most powerful mutants on Earth, while he's actually in shock on the way to the hospital after burning his damn fool hand off. :biggrin:

(Or, if you want the No-Prize explanation, maybe Amara subconsciously turned her heat waaaay down while fighting former students, because for all her "melt the flesh from your bones!" bravado, she doesn't really want to hurt them.)

-D

[jarrod]

EWW.
Nude Fat Karma FTW.
Only if she's spread across pavement. <3 <3

LOL Glass looked ice_cold.

Fea, are you laughing at Dusts predicament? Or :confused:

Josef wanted us to turn Dust into a glass Deathstrike statue back during the Mutant League :biggrin:

[La Fea]

Aside from the Wolf Cub gutting Magma thing, this looks pretty good. Seems to be going in the right direction.

I guess Wolf Cub has adamantium claws now!?

Well they had to take her down somehow so I'm okay with it.

I'm willing to accept that because she probably didn't die anyway.

But I also don't really like Magma, so maybe I should just STFU.

:rolleyes: noone can be that lazy!

LOL!!!!

Timbox is my heroin.

Fea, are you laughing at Dusts predicament? Or :confused:

Josef wanted us to turn Dust into a glass Deathstrike statue back during the Mutant League :biggrin:

LOLOLOLO

Oh Josef!

Actually, yes. I did a morbid laugh yesterday that I am now ashamed of.

I don't know why I thought it was funny! I'm a horrible person! :redface:

[timbox]

But I also don't really like Magma, so maybe I should just STFU.


Oh yea, you're one of those Academy X fanboys aren't you!?! Show some respect to your elders!

*shakes fist*


Timbox is my heroin.


Awww, I forgive you. I will protect you from DeniseXfrost!

No...no...she must be a skrull...that's it...they're all SKRULLS!!! And the Young X-Men will be the mutant community's first line of defense against the Secret Invasion.

[La Fea]

ELABORATE HYPOTHESIS:
I wonder...since two(?) of the Young X-Men (including Fauxclops) aren't mutants, I wonder if Ink is a depowered mutant working for the Hellfire Club for "powers" granted by Selene's sorcery.

[Hakael]

I hope not, if Selene and Wither's story isn't taken on by a book with either Mercury or Hellion, something is very wrong in the X-Office... they'd be ignoring the central plot points to Wither leaving in the first place.

If either come into this book, then it might be warranted (despite my wishes, I'm still not very enthused by this book, while issue two was better than the previous... I'd rather see this story in X-Force... Hellion and Mercury would kick much ass there.)

We are forces of opposing nature, you and me Hakael.

Anyway, yeah I think Mercury should be a part of Wither's ongoing story, but if Selene is still recruiting her emo kid army then she doesn't need to be part of the buildup to the eventual showdown.

Hellion...didn't care when Wither left, right?

And I love X-Force, but I don't want to see any other kids join up (except Josh). What's special about Rahne's role is she's the one with "innocence" and what's special about X-23's role is that she's being robbed of her innocence. Both of their current paths have interested me more in them than any other time thus road blocks to their respective downward spirals must be avoided!

I think Hellion would provide a good emotional challenge to Laura in X-Force... her downward spiral is more of a continuance of her previous nature without him around. C&C have already said they don't want to use Cess in that book because she's too nice, and they hope that she's picked up elsewhere. I do too... I love me some Mercury.

Hellion was one of the reasons why Kevin ran off in the first place, he was the leader of their team and they were friends to an extent... I think Julian should be involved in the story Kevin shows up in because of that. Wither was his responsibility at a time, and bringing that back into play would be useful. And, I don't trust this book to handle the storyline yet... talk to me in three months and I might feel different, but so far this book hasn't really been up to snuff.

[The Black Guardian]

Wouldn't his hand, like... burn off? :confused: Her magma form is hot enough to melt bullets before they hit her.

Oh well, it's comics.
Naw. Don't let them off the hook so easily. This was rubbish. Pure and simple. And Guggenheim and Paquette need to be taken to task for it. Egads, what a disaster this book is turning out to be.
Amara was just pointing out that she doesn't turn into dust...which she doesn't.
Just what is it that you and Amara think dust is? Dust is any tiny particles of solid material that can be blown about in the wind. Sand is dust.

[ProfeZZor X]

Yeah, but Guggenheim's teased she may have to change her codename.

So my guest she either adopts "Sand", which would probably cause some racial grumbling.

Or she keeps her new glass form and powers and adopts the name "Glass", which would be cool.

The big problem with that, is the fact that in order for her to convert herself into glass, I would think that she'd need a heat source to do so. Magma was the catalyst for her transformation this time, but what about in the future? ...I just don't see "glass powers" happening. Besides, how effective can she be in battle against someone with super strength?

[Pach!]

So when you go to the beach..it's just the ocean and dust? What about the desert. Do you find oasis among the dust? Sure if you want to get scientific about it dust usually contains sand in some amount among other particles, but sometimes it doesn't even contain sand at all. It's a stupid term that barely describes Sooraya.

(And I don't even care, I like the Dust codename, and I highly doubt anyone is going to change it.)

I keep remembering that issue of Spider-Man where Doc Ock shot the Sandman with a gun that turned him to glass, then smashed him. He thought that was the end of it, but Sandman managed to piece himself together and fired all his glass shards at Ock at once, almost killing him.

That was pretty badass, but it's not really Dust's style. Plus, you're right, she'd either have to stay glass (and thus never return to human form) or find an intense heat source every time.

Now that I think of it, she COULD use solar energy to convert herself into glass. With the grains of silica in her sand particles, she could concentrate a group of them together like a magnifying glass, then use the sun's heat rays to convert the rest of her body to glass... I guess that's feasible.

but what exactly would she do once in glass form?

[Old No.7]

but what exactly would she do once in glass form?

Nothing. She couldn't do anything. It'd be pointless.

[pryde15]

Nothing. She couldn't do anything. It'd be pointless.

She could blind people by reflecting light off of herself, no?

I want to see a character who can turn others into glass.

Remember during the House of M when Sooraya was able to control sand that wasn't a part of her body?

It'd be cool if after this... experience, she finally could learn how to do that and also control glass as well. If she could make large pieces of glass move at the speeds she goes in Dust form then that'd be pretty scary.

[Old No.7]

She could blind people by reflecting light off of herself, no?

I want to see a character who can turn others into glass.

Until some little kid hits a baseball into her.

i feel really bad for Dani, she got kicked out of the xmen since she didnt have powers (no counceling or support) and they havent left her alone since everytime she turns around someone is breaking up her walls or tryin to fight her...

Beak and Dust... mortal enemies?

[ProfeZZor X]

Nothing. She couldn't do anything. It'd be pointless.

I agree... But for sake of entertaining the few that considered it as a potential secondary mutation for Dust, I just provided a means in which she could convert her body into glass... But like you said, what's the point.

[lockerogue]

She could become a glass monster. Or turn tear people to shreds like she does in sand form.

...That's the thing, if she can already do that in sand form, why does she need to convert into glass?

yesmam
I'm a real boy now
which means full time internship!

woooo
summer is lookin bright

Yayyyy!!!

Congrats, KIKI!!!!

I think Hellion would provide a good emotional challenge to Laura in X-Force... her downward spiral is more of a continuance of her previous nature without him around. C&C have already said they don't want to use Cess in that book because she's too nice, and they hope that she's picked up elsewhere. I do too... I love me some Mercury.

I dunno...I really like seeing X-23 deal with things that don't involve learning to love a boy and then when he rejects her...she cuts herself. Her with regular teen issues never really resonated with me. I think I finally got her as character seeing her removed from that and dealing with things like the value of someone like Rahne's life.

Nothing. She couldn't do anything. It'd be pointless.

Have you stepped on glass??????

Its quite the betch (I really hate not cursing. Its bad enough I can't call people a [b-word], but to not say it for real!!! it hurts).

[Brett P]

I doubt she'd be able to change between forms, once she returns to sand she probably won't be able to be glass again.

But a few powers she could possibly have in a glass form:

Magnified vision
Reshaping glass limbs into blades and stuff (ala Mercury)
Channeling heat/light

Maybe she could shift between hollow and solid form too, making her more durable.

Or she might get shattered and killed at the start of every fight like Prism from the Marauders. :frown:

But in my mind she'd just be able to reform herself, like she can reform from turning into tiny sand grains.

I had a glass character in a story I was writing once :redface:

He stayed alive almost the entire issue in Mutant Massacre... until Jean Grey telekinetically pushed him into a wall.
