I love Mike Carey. I love the page with Beast taking out a Skrull. I'm happy now.

You're going to have to mud wrestle Hi-Fi for that title.

[Pach!]

LOL I really sent that question just so my rogue question wouldnt be alone. I wasnt expecting a reply.

[just another user]

You're going to have to mud wrestle Hi-Fi for that title.

If Hi Fi was such a big fan, he would have posted the link.

Thus, I tend to believe DN@N's claim.

[Hi-Fi]

Who's that girl with Bobby??? She's foxy!

[frog]

If Hi Fi was such a big fan, he would have posted the link.

Thus, I tend to believe DN@N's claim.

Oh, if Hi-Fi was on line he'd be all over this.

I was about to post the link myself - wonder why CBR didn't. They usually do and it looks like it's been up for a while.

Edit: There he is!

[claimtosubclaim]

I know it's too good to be true, but that looks like Dani Moonstar w/ Bobby! Also, Bobby looks kind of like Yorick. I'm sure Hi-Fi loves that!

[Seikun21]

Who's that girl with Bobby??? She's foxy!

That's Bobby? Doesn't look like him... EDIT Dur! I'm so blind it says Manifest Destiny Iceman at the top of the page

Also yay! Northstar, Aurora and Husk are all going to show up in the Secret Invasion: X-men.

[Hi-Fi]

If Hi Fi was such a big fan, he would have posted the link.

I'd expect a joke like that from the cruel darknessatnoon, but you disappoint me, Just Another User!

[Hi-Fi]

I know it's too good to be true, but that looks like Dani Moonstar w/ Bobby!
It really does look like Dani. But it's Micheal Ryan. He tends to draw his females with the same face.

[frog]

Iceman has a little snowman next to his computer - cute!

[Hi-Fi]

Bobby does look like Yorick! If that girl is Zelda with died hair, I'll orgasm. Or something a little less explicit.

[Hi-Fi]

Rogue is absolutely at the center of the arc that starts with #219. She also appears in #215, and the scenes there ought to be some indication of where we’re going in that arc. I think it will be cool; it’s the pay-off I’ve been building towards since I started writing Rogue.

December seems so far away. Damn you, Wolverine Origins crossover!!

[just another user]

I'd expect a joke like that from the cruel darknessatnoon, but you disappoint me, Just Another User!

Fine. Do you want to settle it with a mud wrestle?

That is some nice looking art along with the article.

[claimtosubclaim]

*Bobby getting major play (both in powers, journeys, and girls)
*Rogue payoff finally coming after Carey's been talking about it since before Blinded by the Light.
*Husk, Northstar, and Aurora appearing in the Secret Invasion mini.

The Mike Carey we long for is back. But if that girl is just a random broad, I'm gonna be angry. I don't miss Chuck Austen's "I'll do anybody" Iceman one bit.

[Christopher O]

Mike Carey never talks about Storm.

Therefore, he is racist.

[Waterlily]

As his biggest fan, I am proud to share this link.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17346

Thanks for the link! I'm not about to fight anyone for the "biggest fan" title, but Carey is one of my favorite writers.

Oh, and Who is that getting touchy-feely with Bobby?

[Beast]

Mike Carey remembered that Beast and Iceman are friends! Yay!!

[Novaya Havoc]

Mike Carey never talks about Storm.

Therefore, he is racist.

And since he never talks about Dazzler, he is clearly homophobic to boot.

[claimtosubclaim]

Cheers, Beast! Now where is Warren to complete the triumvirate? :confused:

[Hi-Fi]

And since he never talks about Dazzler, he is clearly homophobic to boot.
But he loves writing Rogue and her gay best friend, Northstar.

Who is Dazzler's gay best friend? Juggernaut?

[Novaya Havoc]

But he loves writing Rogue and her gay best friend, Northstar.

Who is Dazzler's gay best friend? Juggernaut?

Her gay best friend?

Why, that would be Rogue.

[Hi-Fi]

Cheers, Beast! Now where is Warren to complete the triumvirate? :confused:
Bobby is so cool that he's part of TWO triumvirates. :wink:

[Brett P]

I see Surge!

I am very curious about Mercury since she is in Manifest Destiny and SI:X-Men but not listed as one of the people who aren't in a current team...since she's clearly in San Francisco I'd say that counts her out as the NXM showing up in X-Factor...

So for the ex-New X-Men like her and X-23 who aren't part of the "Young X-Men" but are still showing up in the yellow/black NXM costumes...what will their status as X-Men be?

And since he never talks about Dazzler, he is clearly homophobic to boot.

Nah he's just disco-phobic. Anole plays an important role in his Secret Invasion mini afterall :wink:

[Hi-Fi]

Her gay best friend?

Why, that would be Rogue.
Weak!

Maybe Longshot?

[Beast]

And Mike Carey writes Iceman. He clearly loves the gays. :biggrin:

[frog]

I always liked the little scene Carey wrote in X-Men where Anole was hiding his eyes from half-naked Lady Mastermind.

[Brett P]

I'm dissapointed to hear that Gambit will be dissappearing again :frown:

[claimtosubclaim]

Bobby is so cool that he's part of TWO triumvirates. :wink:

Seriously. It doesn't get any better than that. Those are two of three greatest X-triumvirates, the third being Kurt-Peter-Logan. Them getting an adventure in UXM is making me crave another Rogue-Sam-Bobby outing though...

[quillero]

But he loves writing Rogue and her gay best friend, Northstar.

Who is Dazzler's gay best friend? Juggernaut?

Longshot......

EDIT: Damn it...too slow

[Red Lotus]

They didn't ask my are there any plans to go deeper into Gambit’s past relationship with the marauders question?


I'm dissapointed to hear that Gambit will be dissappearing again :frown:


Yeah i am too. I can only hope that Matt Fraction really does want to use Gambit.

[Push You Down]

Well in the Free Comic Book Day X-men book Cyke did say that the school was in session (and that Pixie was truant).

I'm guessing some of the NXM kids will be in San Fran at the new "school". I imagine more like background or supporting players to the main teams.

I guess but it wouldn't really make sense for like Mercury to not be on the Young X-Men team whilst Rockslide and Anole are. And why would Pixie be on the adult team instead? Atleast they'll still be around though.

[Hi-Fi]

I can't wait to read Rogue's scenes in #215. He says they give an indication of what's gonna happen to her in her arc. EXCITING!

[LawGiver]

That was boring. Except for the Cary Nord art, that was great.

What if it's Opal Tanaka? Minus the PANTZ!?

[Flâneur]

I do not care for Legacy and its X-Positions. It is nothing but a framework for codswallop and queef to permeate our fragile minds!

The panels are tired with little vibrancy to endear them to me, and there is absolutely no verve in the writing whatsoever. All we have are drawn out remixes of previously scene panels from X-history - it's more excruciating than a remix of Kylie by Eminem. The worst part is that they add little to our resident bald headed patriarch who is in sore need of a good supporting cast so as to stop him from toppling from his pedestal and taking the book down with him.

Oh Carey, how far you've fallen since Lucifer. Now you need pigeons to make your book interesting. At least he got rid of Magneto and put him in the capable hands of Brubaker.

Sorry but if you're an Exile you're exiled.

[Seikun21]

Brubaker's Uncanny has been nothing to brag about. And his portrayal of Magneto hasn't been all that great either. Don't make me get KiplingKat in here.

[Hi-Fi]

So, let's not turn this thread into a creators bashing thread, please!

So yeah, I wonder who's the big villain Bobby will be fighting in Manifest Destiny.

[frog]

No idea. I still want to know who the girl is.

Aw but it's so fun! But I agree.

Maybe it'll be Sugar Man? We haven't seen him in a while. Not since Endangered Species at least.

Or Dark Beast! That'd be cool.

I don't think it would be Dark Beast because Carey didn't seem to indicate he'd be using him soon, even though I thought he was supposed to appear in Legacy.

SugarMan? Well, if it is, I hope Bobby trounces him thoroughly. *shudders*

[lockerogue]

And we'll have a new thread to discuss Brubaker's Uncanny in depth tomorrow anyway.



No idea. I still want to know who the girl is.

I think its Dani Moonstar. Or could it be Karima?!?!? Probably not.

[Brett P]

LOL.

It's supposed to be a BIG villain. :wink:

Maybe Juggernaut wants to settle an old score...Bobby never cut him a break during his time as an X-Man!

[Hi-Fi]

I think that's some random girl he's using to get over Sam.



I KID!

[frog]

Maybe the villian is Mystique - she did say she'd kill him if she saw him again!






Nah, probably not.

[Anna]

Cessily's coming back!!!!

[Seikun21]

Cessily's coming back!!!!

Just for this and Manifest Destiny. After that no clue where she'll be. Possibly part of the rotating cast in Uncanny.

[We R. Venom]

Mike Carey: The “MD” story does put Bobby through the wringer in some very traumatic ways, and it does leave him in a different place, emotionally and in terms of how he views his role as an X-Man. The seriousness isn’t going away, Jo -- Bobby’s a veteran of a lot of conflicts, one of the most experienced X-Men, and he doesn’t feel the need any more to hide his insecurities behind flippant remarks. I mean, he’ll still make the occasional wisecrack, but he’s not a kid any more and he won’t be acting like one.

One of the things we’re exploring in the “Manifest Destiny” story is precisely this question of the limits of Iceman’s power. We have him doing a couple of very interesting -- and quite new -- things, while staying true to the internal logic of what we already know about his powers.

I almost cried. Don't laugh at me.

I'm officially naming him, Uncle Mike.

[Flâneur]

Brubaker?!? I'd say something but then I'd be skirting the creator comparision rule.

L-O-L
101010

LOL, Brubaker wins this hands down!
LOLOL read into the subtext! GOSH

[MuhollandDriver]

i think that many of the former New X-Men members will be a part of the rotating cast. i am sure that they will get their share.

i am already impressed by how they seem to be integrating into things quite smoothly.

Young X-Men raises more questions....it was assembled by Donald Pierce most likely...yet Cyclops is going to continue with it. Why distinguish this team from the large rotating cast team?

i suppose we might find out once this hot tranny mess of a first arc concludes.

[Nite-Wing]

Oh Carey, how far you've fallen since Lucifer. Now you need pigeons to make your book interesting. At least he got rid of Magneto and put him in the capable hands of Brubaker.

Wow . Anyway I assume you just think that because brubaker writes an excellent cap doesn't translate easily to the X-men. Although I like the direction hes taking warpath in.

[MuhollandDriver]

One more thing.....

i know the whole Mike Carey as a homophobe was a pure joke.....but i still wanted to point out that i feel he writes gay characters quite well. His Northstar intepretation is my favorite. He obviously likes him and Anole..as they are being used again.

[Bingo!]

Northstar and Aurora, the former New X-Men, Iceman getting serious playtime and power exploration???

*tears of joy*

[Christopher O]

And yet no mention of Storm!

What is this Aryan noise???

[Will.S]

You know, after seeing all of the Bianchi designed costumes all together like that they almost make sense....almost.

I'm still weirded out by Cyclops not having a belt though.

Indeed. Where will he keep his Peppermint Mentos?

[Maestro]

Using a team of characters isn't "going backwards" IMO. I mean, it depends on what you do with them

[.LuckyStar.]

It's funny because mostly of Legacy is about the past. That's pretty much 'moving backwards' imo. I wonder what the book will be about next.

[Nite-Wing]

Using a team of characters isn't "going backwards" IMO. I mean, it depends on what you do with them

He meant it in the sense that when he came on he was writing them as a team book. Then it transitioned into a book about Xavier so it would be going backwards if it was made a team book again.

[Ogre U AHole]

The more Beast, Iceman, Mercury, Nightcrawler, and Husk the better.

You are becoming so good at photoshop that is nearly scary
The only straight pairing I would accept for Bobby is Dani... I am that radical... But the girl does not look like her, IMO...

(And besides I prefer her with Sam)

[La Fea]

I actually am very unexcited about Iceman. I like the "badass"ness of Rogue in "X-Men", but I'm tiring of the "put through the wringer" process and subsequent uber-seriousness of their character arcs.

I enjoy Mike's writing a lot with injected levity (which Lady M provided but the rest could as easily substitute in their own way) *and* the high intensity, but the character development is starting to feel very broody and...not for me. Sam and Bobby weren't really that much fun when they weren't being homoerotic, and his plans here seem to be much less gay than they were in X-Men.

Together Dani and Bobby are plotting to seduce Sammy into a threesome.

[DeniseXfrost]

Xiaver's adventure needs to stop sometimes soon.

[Fionnuala]

He may be a good writer, but I'm sick of reading about Xavier. Setting up 12 issues revolving around him, moving at a snail's pace and featuring pointless and incidental cameos from more interesting characters was a mistake.

I'm tired of waiting for Rogue to show up and resolve her situation, too. Whatever momentum that was built up has dissipated, much like the momentum in Astonishing.

It's quite depressing, really. Xavier till Christmas, no pre-200 team and no Gambit or Magneto.

[soulkiller]

He may be a good writer, but I'm sick of reading about Xavier. Setting up 12 issues revolving around him, moving at a snail's pace and featuring pointless and incidental cameos from more interesting characters was a mistake.

Absolutely. Mike is an awesome writer, but I'm also beyond sick of Xavier. I never liked him in the first place and while Mike can make the stories interesting (if not slow), and I'm too ansy for Rogue to show up that I just want it to be over and done with already! BRING BACK ROGUE!!!

I'm tired of waiting for Rogue to show up and resolve her situation, too. Whatever momentum that was built up has dissipated, much like the momentum in Astonishing.

Lordy, I hope we get more than one page of Rogue in the next issue. *Squeels* I can barely wait for it to come out!


Edit: In the Iceman page, anyone else notice the grumpy little snowman on his desk? LOL Cute!

[timbox]

Rogue has always been cool, but Carey really made her super awesome. Then he got her all whacked out, which was fine. Then she got shot, not a huge deal... except she was in a coma for 1000 years, yea that sucks. But then she woke up!! Yes! Rogue is finally back!!!! Woohoo... wait a second... now she's in limbo for however many months. Ok is this starting to frustrate anyone....?

[claimtosubclaim]

Edit: In the Iceman page, anyone else notice the grumpy little snowman on his desk? LOL Cute!

Yes! I loved that little touch. I can't imagine that Bobby would have books in his room, but no TV. After seeing this preview page, I'm really curious as to what the "Iceman saga" in Manifest Destiny will be. I don't think I've been this stoked for a book since X-Men #188.

[Shaid O Gray]

Absolutely. Mike is an awesome writer, but I'm also beyond sick of Xavier. I never liked him in the first place and while Mike can make the stories interesting (if not slow),

I do like Xavier, and I am happy a writer wants to explore his past and motivations and all that, but even I agree you can only have him as the lead for so long. He's not a lead character, and I think Gambit leaving is a mistake. It seemed like it was building up to be an 'ensemble' series if not a team, but apparently not.

Gambit 'might be back later'. Anyone think he might be in the Rogue arc after the Daken stuff is over with?

and I'm too ansy for Rogue to show up that I just want it to be over and done with already! BRING BACK ROGUE!!!

Lordy, I hope we get more than one page of Rogue in the next issue. *Squeels* I can barely wait for it to come out!

Agreed. And then we prepare for a loong, cold, Rogue-less winter.....:frown:

Gambit getting out from Carey's pen for a while can only be a good thing. Hopefully, he'll turn up in Uncanny instead of Rogue's arc. I'm sure Carey can find some other plot device for Rogue to angst over.

Yeah, but he's been hinting at an ensemble book... which to be fair is what most of us thought Legacy was going to be anyway.

Yes Rogue! Come to me! I can't wait to see what action he has planned for her :biggrin:

The big pay off he's been promising us :evilsmile:

i wonder what will become of x-men after legacy ends if it is not going back to being a team book. if carey is still writing it i will likely stick around.

[Imraith Nimphais]

The seriousness isn’t going away, Jo -- Bobby’s a veteran of a lot of conflicts, one of the most experienced X-Men, and he doesn’t feel the need any more to hide his insecurities behind flippant remarks. I mean, he’ll still make the occasional wisecrack, but he’s not a kid any more and he won’t be acting like one.

If he isn’t acting like a kid anymore, Paul N. White-Davis wants to know if Iceman’s powers will be maturing as well.

During (and after) the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline, it was revealed that Iceman's potential powers included the ability to, in essence, teleport via reverse-freezing molecules (or something like that). When Emma took over his body when she first joined the X-Men, she also noted that he only uses a fraction of his potential power.

I personally think Iceman's powers have yet to be fully explored and would welcome you guys to do so. Any chance of this happening soon?

Mike Carey: I’m really glad you asked, Paul -- and I agree with you. One of the things we’re exploring in the “Manifest Destiny” story is precisely this question of the limits of Iceman’s power. We have him doing a couple of very interesting -- and quite new -- things, while staying true to the internal logic of what we already know about his powers.

It's been a long time coming, but it looks like Mike hasn't forgotten about us Iceman fanatics...

The girl in that MD page looks Asian... I hope it's not Opal. :mad:

[ProfeZZor X]

And Mike Carey writes Iceman. He clearly loves the gays. :biggrin:

Hey stop that... He has a "girl" (not a guy) hanging all over him in that MD panel.
