[timbox]

Emma's boots are HOT!!!

[frog]

The cover to Cable #8 is hysterical.

[timbox]

X-Force! Domino! and check out the posters in the background. !

[Pach!]

That is like the third color scheme we've seen for Dazzler. Make up your mind, Marvel!

[metalgorgomon]

Dazzler's lookin' hot on UXM #504 cover!

[Hi-Fi]

Domino and Logan are so sexy together. I'm so glad she's joining the team.

The Cable cover is scary. The X-Men Manifest Destiny cover is fun!

Dazzler looks AMAZING.

And I hope that's not the final team in Young X-Men.

[timbox]

The cover to Cable #8 is hysterical.

Emma looks good. Rachel's afro is getting scary though.

[LawGiver]

Looks like they finally cancelled that X-Men First Class book.

[Dagger]

X-Force! Domino! and check out the posters in the background. !
Omg, WE DID DEMAND IT!

[Dagger]

Domino and Logan are so sexy together. I'm so glad she's joining the team.

The Cable cover is scary. The X-Men Manifest Destiny cover is fun!

Dazzler looks AMAZING.

And I hope that's not the final team in Young X-Men.
Agreed. She looks much better here than on the cover for S.I. X-Men.

[Pach!]

Looks like they finally cancelled that X-Men First Class book.

And someone is totally "riding a bullet" in the Wolverine: First Class.

That's sad for X-men First Class fans.

[Hi-Fi]

Looks like they finally cancelled that X-Men First Class book.
Aw. It does look that way. :frown:

[streator]

some decent stuff this month.

i'm getting:

astonishing x-men: ghost boxes 2
cable 8
uncanny x-men 504 (nice cover)
wolverine 69 (symbiotic mole men?)
x-factor 37 (easily cook's best x-factor cover yet)
x-force 9 (my favorite cover of the bunch)
x-men: legacy 218
x-men: manifest destiny 3 (ramos makes colossus' new costume look okay)

also, young x-men's cover is by michael ryan, not yanick paquette as the solict says.

[worstblogever]

So... New Exiles will be seeing an alternate Misty Knight and Iron Man at some point soon.

Hey, at least it's not Sue Richards again.

Wolverine meets a vengeful X-girlfriend in Chinatown... yeah, that could be a handful of villainesses.

And... Emma's holding a baby with the power of the Phoenix in it. You don't suppose she'd smother it with a pillow, do you?

[Pach!]

What is up with Dust's costume in that Cover

[rwsmith]

Nice! Domino in X-Force. And she and Logan make a pretty hot couple IMO (though I'd still prefer to see him hook up with Dazzler; guess I just like blondes better).

Also, the Deodato, Jr. covers for Wolverine: Origins and X-men: Legacy look great. Really looking forward to this crossover.

Oh, and Wolverine #69 looks amazing as well, but it's a shame that it's going to take until November for it to ship. :frown:

[Nyssane]

http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/marvelcomics/200811/XFORCE009_cov.jpg

This gets me hard.

[metalgorgomon]

The cover of Young X-Men #8 looks sweet.

But where's Wolfcub and Blindfold?? I guess, one of them might not survive issue #6. My guess.. it's Wolfcub.

[LawGiver]

Lot of good comics, good to see Wolverine is back on the schedule again. Uncanny #504 looks to jam packed with plot. I like that the public is getting the Alaska Massarce footage released.

[Hi-Fi]

I wonder what that means to the Cable & Wolverine relationship. Last time I saw, Domino and Nathan were pretty serious about each other, just before she escaped from Providence when Hecatomb attacked.

[rwsmith]

This gets me hard.

Logan and Domino have hooked up before, actually, during Morrison's New X-men run (in the Annual, I think). You might've already known that, though. Regardless, it is indeed a hot cover.

X-Force rules. :cool:

I wonder what that means to the Cable & Wolverine relationship. Last time I saw, Domino and Nathan were pretty serious about each other, just before she escaped from Providence when Hecatomb attacked.

It means you don't trust Wolverine around your woman. Ever. If Nate doesn't know that by now, well, then he's just not as smart as he thinks he is. Plus, it takes two to tango...

[Pach!]

Sonia Oback is awesome.

[ExodusCloak]

I hope you're happy. No more Scemma Sex scenes.

[timbox]

Sonia Oback is awesome.

Yes indeed.

[ProfeZZor X]

What, not solicitations for Manifest Destiny? ...Or did I just not see it listed.

[metalgorgomon]

So... New Exiles will be seeing an alternate Misty Knight and Iron Man at some point soon.

Hey, at least it's not Sue Richards again.



Maybe she's Omega Sentinel??

[Hi-Fi]

Logan and Domino have hooked up before, actually, during Morrison's New X-men run (in the Annual, I think). You might've already known that, though. Regardless, it is indeed a hot cover.

X-Force rules. :cool:
And from the dialogue, it seemed like they did it before. They're totally sex buddies.

[Pach!]

What, not solicitations for Manifest Destiny? ...Or did I just not see it listed.

It's the one with Colossus on the cover.

[worstblogever]

Maybe she's Omega Sentinel??

Not with dreads like that and only one bionic arm.

Then again... he does tend to reclaim his Claremontazons.

[Hi-Fi]

I hope you're happy. No more Scemma Sex scenes.
Logmino >>>>>> Scemma

What, not solicitations for Manifest Destiny? ...Or did I just not see it listed.
It's right there.

[worstblogever]

The cover of Young X-Men #8 looks sweet.

But where's Wolfcub and Blindfold?? I guess, one of them might not survive issue #6. My guess.. it's Wolfcub.

Had I to lay odds, with this cover? I'd put my money on that, yeah.

[jarrod]

Uncanny and X-Force have me exceptionally aroused...

[Pach!]

Not with dreads like that and only one bionic arm.

Then again... he does tend to reclaim his Claremontazons.

misty and colleen probably

[lockerogue]

Emma looks like a Brothel Madame on the Astonishing cover.

But that Logan and Domino cover is so damn hot. November looks like it will be an awesome month.

[worstblogever]

It's the one with Colossus on the cover.

I can't believe Ramos drew him with an "ass-chin". And of course, gritted teeth. That's essential for a Ramos commission.

[frog]

So Anole is joining the Young X-Men. Are they supposed to be in the Morlock tunnels?

[Nyssane]

Logan and Domino have hooked up before, actually, during Morrison's New X-men run (in the Annual, I think). You might've already known that, though. Regardless, it is indeed a hot cover.

Yeah, the pairing doesn't do anything for me. But the cover itself is hella hot.

Domino belongs with Cable.

[worstblogever]

misty and colleen probably

OH damn. Yeah, Colleen Wing. That makes sense.


Although, you'd think on an alternate Earth, maybe Misty Knight would have a different best friend, right? :rolleyes:

[Hi-Fi]

Yeah, the pairing doesn't do anything for me. But the cover itself is hella hot.

Domino belongs with Cable.
Irene Merryweather belongs with Cable. As of this cover, Domino belongs with Logan.

[Nyssane]

Irene Merryweather belongs with Cable. As of this cover, Domino belongs with Logan.

DISGUSTING

Irene Merryweather belogns in a ditch.

[darknessatnoon]

Irene Merryweather belongs with Cable. As of this cover, Domino belongs with Logan.

Cable has a waitress fetish. None of the rest of those girls stand a chance.

[timbox]

Wolverine did the same pose in the shower with a naked Spider-Woman. It did not make them a couple.

[The Tyrant Virus]

Hmm, that Young X-Men solicit says the pencils and cover are by Paquette, but that cover totally looks more like Michael Ryan than Paquette.

Oh wait, looking at it again, doesn't that one pipe on the left say "Ryan '08"?

Dust's costume does look odd, but I LOVE Michael Ryan's art.

And that X-Force cover is breathtaking. Sonia Oback and Mike Choi make some amazing art together.

[Christoffer]

Domino on X-Force, sweet! The posters on the wall are possible recruits maybe? Seems promissing.

I'll be getting that and the AXM tie-in.

[just another user]

Love this cover

http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/marvelcomics/200811/WACK001_COV.jpg

[worstblogever]

Wolverine did the same pose in the shower with a naked Spider-Woman. It did not make them a couple.

Of course not. It was a Skrull. He should have realized she was one when she didn't drop the soap and properly steam up the mirrors in the bathroom. That's the normal reaction. Domino gets that.

[escapegoat]

Hmm, that Young X-Men solicit says the pencils and cover are by Paquette, but that cover totally looks more like Michael Ryan than Paquette.

Oh wait, looking at it again, doesn't that one pipe on the left say "Ryan '08"?

Dust's costume does look odd, but I LOVE Michael Ryan's art.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too...doesn't look like a Yannick cover. Seems you're right about it being Ryan....it looks like his style too.

[darknessatnoon]

Love this cover


You can't buy it, though. You made a vow in front of me.

[lockerogue]

I like Terry Dodson's Pixie she looks illegal.

[jarrod]

Dust's just wet... she'd turning to mud.

Also, no Wolfcub I see?

[just another user]

You can't buy it, though. You made a vow in front of me.

Lol. I will also not be buying this:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/marvelcomics/200811/YNGXM008_cov.jpg

Because they seem to have killed off the amazing Wolfcub to replace him with Emo Lizard.

[rwsmith]

Wolverine did the same pose in the shower with a naked Spider-Woman. It did not make them a couple.

Well, to be fair, he had his claws popped on either side of her neck on that cover (and in the actual issue) whereas in this image he's actually kissing/sucking on Domino's neck. Still doesn't make them a couple, but they will screw again, no doubt.

Domino on X-Force, sweet! The posters on the wall are possible recruits maybe? Seems promissing.

I'll be getting that and the AXM tie-in.

Doubtful. I'm guessing that's just a homage to the old X-Force. Either that, or in addition to the Vanisher, that's also who the new X-Force is now tracking down for some reason. I'm guessing the former, though.

[escapegoat]

Love this cover

http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/marvelcomics/200811/WACK001_COV.jpg

That and the solicit info makes it look like it'll be very awesome. I normally wait for the Power Pack mini's to be collected into digests so that I can share them with my four year old without having to worry about her wrecking the comics, but I may not be able to hold back for this one... :biggrin:

[jarrod]

Emma looks good. Rachel's afro is getting scary though.
It just needs to be properly sculpted. She should chrono-shift to 1987 asap.

[Beast]

Looks like they finally cancelled that X-Men First Class book.
It's not cancelled. They left a couple X-Books out of the solicits preview.

Looks like a pretty good month all around for the X-Books.

[darknessatnoon]

Doubtful. I'm guessing that's just a homage to the old X-Force. Either that, or in addition to the Vanisher, that's also who the new X-Force is now tracking down for some reason.

Vanisher is going to kill X-Force. How stupid can they be, messing with him?

[Cayman]

Looks like they finally cancelled that X-Men First Class book.

Or it's just skipping a month.

[just another user]

Who would have thought that Shatterstar, SHATTERSTAR, would be on the cover of X Force.

Seriously, its 2008.

[Hi-Fi]

Who cares about Wolf Cub? It's Blindfold's absence that scares me.

[Cayman]

Who cares about Wolf Cub? It's Blindfold's absence that scares me.

She's standing behind Santos.

[chickrockguitar]

> X-Force ROCKS!! - The art is the best at Marvel!! Mike & Sonia Can I BEG for an Logan/Laura cover?!
> No NYX? - Delayed for a month? Please don't let this be the baginning for delays for this book... :eek:
> Young X-Men - Vic!! My Vic!! :biggrin: *sighs* does this mean I'm gonna have to pick this crap up now?

[timbox]

Dust's ninja costume is dripping.

[rwsmith]

Vanisher is going to kill X-Force. How stupid can they be, messing with him?

Don't know. Read the issues and find out.

[Nyssane]

Why are there two bald people on Young X-Men?

Also, the Power Pack artist(s) should get work on other books. I love the cartoony style, but I hate the PP.

[jarrod]

Mud's ninja costume is dripping.
Correction.

[Bic]

It means you don't trust Wolverine around your woman. Ever. If Nate doesn't know that by now, well, then he's just not as smart as he thinks he is. Plus, it takes two to tango...

Those Summers boys need to learn to stop leaving their women laying around where Wolverine can easily find them.

[Hi-Fi]

I am glad Just Another User remains a member of Young X-Men. That will keep me coming back every month.

[Pach!]

Why are there two bald people on Young X-Men?

One shaved his head for more space to tattoo. And thee other just has alopecia.

[blehbeh]

I really hope there's a reason why Emma looks like an old west whore from hell on the Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes cover, and it's not just Bianchi's idea of a cool costume.

Olivetti's Emma looks great on Cable #8.

Nightcrawler looks wrong in black and white, no idea why they felt the need to do that...

Looks like Warren is still "Angel" and a main character in Uncanny, all the way to November..

Can't wait for Domino, and hopefully those "old X-Force" posters on the cover are actually related to the story.

[just another user]

Correction.

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m134/johnjusten/rcstcat.gif

[Hi-Fi]

Cable has a waitress fetish. None of the rest of those girls stand a chance.
I love Joe Casey's Cable, but my God was Stacey a bore.

[darknessatnoon]

I love Joe Casey's Cable, but my God was Stacey a bore.

I agree, but no on Irene. Remember that Cable can't sleep with his Chronicler. Conflict of interest.

[escapegoat]

Who cares about Wolf Cub? It's Blindfold's absence that scares me.

I willing to guess that she's not oi the active rouster that goes out into the field...probably because she's really not the combatant-type. Guggenheim's use of her in the first arc was set up the way it was in order to tell the "who's gonna die" plotline. I imagine we'll may still see her in the book.

[just another user]

I am glad Just Another User remains a member of Young X-Men. That will keep me coming back every month.

I hate to disappoint you, they photoshopped that cover and in the real comic, dead Ink will be replaced by living Wolfcub.

[CaptainCanada]

Why are the covers for Captain Britain and MI:13 never ready for the solicits?

X-Force's cover looks awesome.

Wolverine and Power Pack looks cute, as all those miniseries are (I wonder who's next?).

[escapegoat]

Why are there two bald people on Young X-Men?


'Cause Professor X is all the rage with today's youth!!!

[Hi-Fi]

I agree, but no on Irene. Remember that Cable can't sleep with his Chronicler. Conflict of interest.
I do love Irene, though. I know you hate her!

Guggenheim's use of her in the first arc was set up the way it was in order to tell the "who's gonna die" plotline. I imagine we'll may still see her in the book.
That's a shame. Blindfold is the most interesting member of that team, along with Adam and Greymalkin.

[darknessatnoon]

I do love Irene, though. I know you hate her!



I don't hate Irene! She's the best of the X-Reporters. I like that she started off at a tabloid.

[escapegoat]

I hate to disappoint you, they photoshopped that cover and in the real comic, dead Ink will be replaced by living Wolfcub.

Yeah, that totally explains the solicit information dealing with Ink''s origin :rolleyes:

[just another user]

Yeah, that totally explains the solicit information dealing with Ink''s origin :rolleyes:

It's all misdirection!

[Hi-Fi]

I don't hate Irene! She's the best of the X-Reporters. I like that she started off at a tabloid.
LOL. I thought you were going for her in that Survivor thread. Maybe I remember it wrong!

I think Irene is a pretty special character.

[escapegoat]

That's a shame. Blindfold is the most interesting member of that team, along with Adam and Greymalkin.

I'm hoping I'm wrong about her being off the team for those reasons...and that she's alive of course :wink:

[escapegoat]

It's all misdirection!

Pssfffttt....You're misdirected!!!!! :tongue:

[Hi-Fi]

It's all misdirection!
Everything is smoke and mirrors when it comes to you.

[Beast]

Maybe she's Omega Sentinel??
It's a world without mutants or superheroes. So unlikely.

The solicits say it's the Daughters of the Dragon. Which is awesomeness incarnate.

[just another user]

Cayman, who's the manly dude in your new avatar?

[Cayman]

Cayman, who's the manly dude in your new avatar?

It is Adam X.

[metalgorgomon]

Maybe Blindfold's in their headquarter with a new leader of the team.. which is one of the New Mutants???

[lockerogue]

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb53/roguelocke54/ASTXMGB002_cov.jpg

That madame look just isn't working. Emma is clearly lining up her girls for Wolverine to choose from.

[greenshoes713]

What is up with Dust's costume in that Cover

I love it!

I can't believe Ramos drew him with an "ass-chin". And of course, gritted teeth. That's essential for a Ramos commission.

Chin dimple! and i love Ramos and his gritted teeth give his art more emotion!

Lol. I will also not be buying this:

Because they seem to have killed off the amazing Wolfcub to replace him with Emo Lizard.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! FUCKING INK IS STILL ALIVE!!!

They killed Blindfold ARGGG Thats weaksause.

[escapegoat]

Maybe Blindfold's in their headquarter with a new leader of the team.. which is one of the New Mutants???

Yeah....I'm sure one of the ol' New Mutants is gonna be directing the team now...probably Dani

[Pach!]

lol greenshoes she can't be the one that dies since she sees the death. She's the only one that's truly "safe" well and G-malkin


Also, how is Anole staying up in that cover.

[metalgorgomon]

It's a world without mutants or superheroes. So unlikely.

The solicits say it's the Daughters of the Dragon. Which is awesomeness incarnate.

I guess, just as some of the poster had said, they're Coleen and Misty. I'm not quite familiar with the Daughters of the Dragon. Guess, it's a group where Coleen and Misty are members of it?

[worstblogever]

Chin dimple! and i love Ramos and his gritted teeth give his art more emotion!
.

Usually it's the same two emotions, extreme frustration (which everyone has) or the rare exception, where they're just totally constipated, and trying to push out a dook.

It gets old, and when you make everyone feel that EXTREME!!! emotion, it deadens the effect when someone actually should be intensely feeling something.

Thus, why I can't stand it.

[just another user]

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb53/roguelocke54/ASTXMGB002_cov.jpg

Is that Emma? I genuinely thought that was Storm.

[timbox]

They killed Blindfold ARGGG Thats weaksause.

I know, after issue #2 when they killed off the entire team, since Magma and Dani were the only characters on the cover, it was weird that they all just came back to life.

[jarrod]

Yeah....I'm sure one of the ol' New Mutants is gonna be directing the team now...probably Dani
I hope it's more than just one... the recent preview makes me want more Magma.

[Beast]

Let's see now...

Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes #2 - It's still sorta said that we're doing a fill-in mini simply due to how slow Bianchi is. But it's better than huge delays with no stories featuring the characters. Can't tell much by the solicits though, so we'll see how good it is.

CABLE #8 - While the first arc was mediocre at best, I'll give this one a whirl to see if it improves. Since it's going to feature the actual X-Men and them dealing with Bishop. Maybe Marvel can manage to salvage ole Bishop even just a little bit. Doubt it, but we'll see.

NEW EXILES #14 - Ooooo, Daughters of the Dragon. Always loved CC's writing of the two characters. And it's nice to not see a world without mutants and superhero types. Can't wait for this story arc.

UNCANNY X-MEN #504 - Sounds like it's a packed issue. Nice to see that danglers like Colossus and Shadowcat are finally being dealt with. Also love that we're getting a sidestory of Beast and Angel recruiting folks. Dazzler's new outfit colors on the cover salvage it a bit.

WOLVERINE: FIRST CLASS #9 - Wolverine vs. Shang-Chi? Sounds fun. Shame that there's no mention of Kitty. I hope they arn't planning to turn the book into simply another Wolverine solo book.

WOLVERINE: ORIGINS #30 - Still hate having to pick up this book due to a crossover with Legacy. Especially since it involves Daken. But we'll see how it goes. At least it's only for a couple issues. If I can stand Cable & Deadpool for a couple issues, I can deal with this.

X-FACTOR #37 - Still sticking with the book for now. But I hope that it gets the real Longshot in it eventually. It might salvage it from the bottom of the read pile for me. Darwin certainly isn't going to.

X-FORCE #9 - Not a huge fan of Domino, but at least it's not another member that fits the same generic mold of 'Team Scratch 'N Sniff'. Interesting that he's leading them to Mr. Sinister's lab. Wonder what the deal will be. Especially since we have Ms. Sinister in X-Men Legacy.

X-MEN: LEGACY #218 - Same complaints about Daken. But at least the crossover is a short one. And we'll see Sebastian Shaw and Ms. Sinister as well. That will at least make things tolerable. Plus it's Carey!

X-MEN: MAGNETO TESTAMENT #3 (of 5) - Sounds interesting. Hope that the writer doesn't forget important aspects of Magneto's time in the camps. Such as Mr. Sinister aka Nosferatu and such.

X-MEN: MANIFEST DESTINY #3 (of 4) - Iceman discovers something new about his powers? Ok, taking bets on how long before he forgets them again. Just like he always does when he gets a power increase. And Colossus' butt in the cover art makes Baby Beastie cry.

X-MEN: WORLDS APART #2 (of 4) - Reading this and hoping that we'll see some decent characterization for Storm. And maybe see how much the X-Men really mean to her. Instead of how she flipped them off to go marry Black Panther. Hopefully it ends positive for Storm and X-Men fans.

YOUNG X-MEN #8 - About time we found out about Ink's origins. Nice to see that Anole will be joining the team as well. Unfortunatly I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the team. So hopefully we'll get some roster changes. Or more focus on the old New Mutants team.

Passing on: CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI13 #7, WOLVERINE #69, WOLVERINE AND POWER PACK #1 (of 4), WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN MAGAZINE #1 (Unless it's cartoon related), WOLVERINE: CHOP SHOP, WOLVERINE: MANIFEST DESTINY #2 (of 4), and X-MEN: PIXIES AND DEMONS DIRECTOR'S CUT.

[Pach!]

I know, after issue #2 when they killed off the entire team, since Magma and Dani were the only characters on the cover, it was weird that they all just came back to life.

LOL.



hilarious.

[worstblogever]

Is that Emma? I genuinely thought that was Storm.

I agree with you, I thought that was Ororo, too.

It is a corset, and there's some punk S&M gear on the boots, there. But yeah... the face said 'ro to me.

[escapegoat]

lol greenshoes she can't be the one that dies since she sees the death. She's the only one that's truly "safe" well and G-malkin

Silly Pach...it's the classic pre-cog cliche. Precog can't see past a certain point in the future because......THE PRE-COG DIES!!!!!

That said, I don't think it's her...she's just too good of a character and I think Guggenheim knows that too.

Also, how is Anole staying up in that cover.

By the floating logo. Logos tend to frequent the sewers a lot...duh!!!!!

[Dr. Chaos]

Wolverine did the same pose in the shower with a naked Spider-Woman. It did not make them a couple.
No, but I'm pretty sure it did give him an erection.

Occupational hazard and what have you.

Who was Logan's last real girlfriend anyway? You know, the one that didn't die or dissapear?

"All right, bub. Gimme my appearance schedule for October..."

"Sure, Mr. Logan! There's your regular solo title, of course. Plus, the usual line-up of team books."

"So that's just UNCANNY, ASTONISHING, NEW AVENGERS and X-FORCE. No prob."

"There's also your side projects. ORIGINS, FIRST CLASS, MANIFEST DESTINY, another FIRST CLASS..."

"Uh huh. Anythin' else?"

"Don't forget cameos! Possibly AVENGERS/INVADERS... maybe a SECRET INVASION appearance..."

"Hmph. Sounds like a light month to me"
Priceless.

[metalgorgomon]

Is that Emma? I genuinely thought that was Storm.

LOL.. I had the same impression... But then, I saw the blue/silvery lipstick..

[lockerogue]

Is that Emma? I genuinely thought that was Storm.

Yes it is Emma. The blue lipstick gives her away.

[jarrod]

Who was Logan's last real girlfriend anyway? You know, the one that didn't die or dissapear?
Cyclops.

Duh fool he's holding on to the YOUNG X-MEN title

I know, after issue #2 when they killed off the entire team, since Magma and Dani were the only characters on the cover, it was weird that they all just came back to life.

God your such a bitch!

Dude.

I think thats Storm?

I was about to say that i hope thats her new outfit..outside of the boots its pretty cool.

[Pach!]

She has white skin!

[greenshoes713]

Dude.

I think thats Storm?

I was about to say that i hope thats her new outfit..outside of the boots its pretty cool.

Actually the boots are the best! IMOH

[lockerogue]

Dude.

I think thats Storm?

I was about to say that i hope thats her new outfit..outside of the boots its pretty cool.

If that is Storm she looks like a Madame.

[Cayman]

The boots rock.

[timbox]

It's Emma, and she looks good. We've already established that the boots are awesome.

[marco19]

that x-force cover is awesome and super psyched that domino is joining the team,and im sure shatterstar coming back is only a matter of time and as to the solicit regarding sinister's labs the one thing that quickly jumps to mind is and i know some people really hated him but Maggot may be back, and if not at least his slugs may return

[ToxicTeen]

Let's see...

Young X-Men - Cover looks neat though I still wish Ink's hair is back. At least we get to see his origin. And adding Anole to the team is a good move though I wonder if he's the only new member?

X-Force - Cover looks cool and Domino being on the team is cool too. But I'm still waiting for that Selene/Wither story...

Wolverine and Power Pack - Looks cute. I might consider getting it even though it might make me look immature. :redface:

New Exiles - Even I'm not getting it, I just want to point out how awesome the cover looks. :wink:

Hey Emma,

Aren't spikes Rachel's thing?
Why you gotta copy Scott's daughter huh? HUH???

[Swashbuckler]

She isn't Scott's daughter. She's Mojo's ass cheek, amputated and molded into the form of an ugly ugly girl. Then Mojo sent her back in time as a joke and implanted her with false memories.

that x-force cover is awesome and super psyched that domino is joining the team,and im sure shatterstar coming back is only a matter of time and as to the solicit regarding sinister's labs the one thing that quickly jumps to mind is and i know some people really hated him but Maggot may be back, and if not at least his slugs may return
Well, Mike has mentioned that he'd bring back Maggot if he could. I wonder...

[ToxicTeen]

Well, Mike has mentioned that he'd bring back Maggot if he could. I wonder...

That would be sweet. I like Maggot. :smile:

[Kid Icarus]

Yay Stroman isnt doing X-factor!
and Domino!
and Anole!

[Beast]

That would be sweet. I like Maggot. :smile:
So did I. If only someone wanted to use CeCe Reyes as well.

WOOHOO!!! Stroman's no longer X-Factor artist!!! I'm so happy I may cry!!

See??!!!!
I'm HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnoleX]

Does anyone here remember an interview or something of that sorts on here with someone at Marvel hinting or teasing at using Boom Boom again?? If only for a brief appearance I am assuming. This kinda intrigues me. I've only been reading comics for like three years now, so I'm fairly new. But I've never seen her in a comic I've read. I hear she was in NeXtWave and that that character was going to be the same in this possible appearance.

Anybody remember that article with this mentioning??

I was thinking she may show up as a member of the Sisterhood of Evil.

[Quinnhop]

Boom Boom will be featured in X-Men: Manifest Destiny #2.

[Hi-Fi]

EDIT: I'm slow.

[podmark]

Yay Anole. That might be enough to get me to buy Young X-Men a little longer.

Also can't wait for X-Force, and I love Dodson's covers.

[Swashbuckler]

Boom Boom will appear in X-Men Manifest Destiny #2.

Where was this revealed? I must have missed that article.

[AnoleX]

EDIT: I'm slow.

Yeah, I thought it was in X-Force though.

[jarrod]

See??!!!!
I'm HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't see anything in there to imply Stroman's off the book. Thankfully.

[CmX]

Sweet! Dazzler looks absolutely gorgeous on that cover to Uncanny! She even looks better than the Secret Invasion cover and I'm loving her new color scheme! Yay for Dodson's Dazz!!!

[pryde15]

The cover to Young X-Men looks good, I'll be getting it. Unfortunately... a certain character is STILL around. :frown:

Yeah I like the Michael Ryan cover and I'm so glad that Anole is there! Where's Surge already??

[ToxicTeen]

So did I. If only someone wanted to use CeCe Reyes as well.

I just thought of something: Maybe Yost & Kyle could bring him back. After all they did brought back Arch Angel, William Stryker, Bastion, and those other mutant hating baddies back. :tongue:

I'm not sure about Cecila Reyes though it be nice to see her again. :smile:

[pryde15]

Yeah I like the Michael Ryan cover and I'm so glad that Anole is there! Where's Surge already??

Surge was seen (briefly) in Secret Invasion: X-Men #1 so there is a good chance we will see her soon. :smile:

But that cover is adorable.

Is Emma gonna get her milk funk on Bishop? Emmop!!!

I am scared for my ability to still love Anole under Guggenheim, but seeing him and Rockslide drawn by Ryan again is something akin to glorious.

+Domino, means I may actually pick up the blood-spattered mess (ooh reminds me of Sweeney Todd) that is X-Force.

[IIX]

I like the cover to X-Force, Domino looks blazing hot. that Emma on the cable cover is crepping me out.

[jarrod]

Slung knows what's up. I wish Yost & Stroman could redo the actual RAFOTSE. <3 <3

[Jake V]

Irene Merryweather belongs with Cable. As of this cover, Domino belongs with Logan.

I'm gonna enjoy seeing wolverine and domino hook up again.

I knew their crazy animal fucking in NXM Annual 2001 wasn't a one time thing!

Dazzler is obviously wearing a full body moodring at this point.

And dazzler looks good...finally:biggrin:

I don't think 10 Wolverine books for November are enough, they should amp it up a notch with 2 or 3 more.

Just don't buy them. Hater. :wink:

[jmc247]

Are you being ironic?

At this rate, all the X titles will be renamed as "Emma & the X-Men"

Love the Domino cover - I've never understood before how people said she was sexy, when she was always drawn like a middle aged woman in desperate need of some tinted foundation - But that cover is brilliant.

Glad to see Dazz is looking great as well.

[Dagger]

I'm starting to feel the same way towards characters like Cyclops, Emma, Storm, and Wolverine. I don't mind them being in a couple books that I buy from time to time, but I don't like them being in all the books I buy all the time. Hopefully, the Uncanny book will revolve around more of the others than the Astonishing cast with others making appearances on occasion like has been said in interviews. I still enjoy the characters, but their constant presence everywhere is growing thin on me.

[ProfeZZor X]

X-MEN: MANIFEST DESTINY #3 (of 4) - Iceman discovers something new about his powers? Ok, taking bets on how long before he forgets them again. Just like he always does when he gets a power increase. And Colossus' butt in the cover art makes Baby Beastie cry.

You and me both brother...

I agree with this, and it seems like this is what Marvel is attempting to do with this book. Characters like Cyclops, Emma and Wolverine really ought to be relegated to more background roles in UXM since they appear in so many other places (especially Wolverine). But having them in the book ensures better sales and allows some other characters to interact with them, which IMO also makes it harder for fans to start viewing Uncanny as a pure "second string" X-men book.

[nikbackm]

Nah, I think Wolverine is actually increasing his lead. :biggrin:

[Toboe]

That X-Force cover is extremly hot! I can see now why Mike thought of censoring it himself, but I'm glad he didn't since it's glorious. The posters on the back featuring old X-Force members is a nice touch. So excited for Domino coming into the team.

And no Stroman on X-Factor is a true blessing.

Yes, I don't mind Emma, Scott, Wolverine, and Storm getting a dozen of their own one shots or minis each month if people are willing to buy them. What I don't like is them being on so many team books at the same time. The thing I loved about team books is that they allow lesser characters to recieve character development and come into their own.

[Grunty]

The Wolverine thing clearly shows that Marvel is aware of all the backslash because of the many Wolverine titles.
On the other hand it's also most likely a "take that" towards us, since those titles seems to sell well enough to keep making them, while some idiots on the internet (including me) keep complaining about it.

Domino joining X-force was clear since the Uncanny 500 cover was shown. However i like the cover with the posters in the backround showing some former members of the old X-force.

On a whole different note, i wonder why i always hope for these solicitations to drop a hint towars an appearance of Marrow? I'm doing this since 5 years and it never happend. I guess i just can't stop hoping.

[RoguishGurl]

I'm just curious about the mention of a second 'First Class' with Wolverine in the Power Pack solicit.

i'm waiting for a maggot return as well, seriously. he was never given any chance to be a good character, and with the right writer, he could be great. please bring him back!


if we don't get him, at least put gentle or siryn on uncanny, that would be so cool!

I keep wondering why instead of just let Jason Aaron continue his run on the Wolverine book with the Manifest Destiny tie-in and make Old Man Logan a mini, which is what it should be, they're doing it backwards...

Anole being (predictably) on board is the very reason I've decided to give the book a try for the stand-alone stories in July, October, November and possibly beyond. Whether or not I'll keep it on my pull-list from the next multi-issue arc onward depends on the quality.

a) She's a teenage girl, so she's got the right to some hotness. She may be more the cute kind, but that doesn't mean she can't be sexy at all. And most importantly: she looks like a cute(!), pretty, teenage(!) girl on the cover, so don't overreact, puhwease. We aren't talking Greg Land art here. (That he's drawing her at all is bad enough.) The eyes are off, though.
b) Skottie Young - as well as Humberto Ramos, actually - should only be doing kid/teen team/solo books/stories in mainstream comics. They both excel at them (most better artists suck at them, only a few are better) whilst failing completely at adult heroes. Young is even better at adolescents (IMHO) and even worse at adults. So having Skottie Young, Michael Ryan, the artist who drew the NXM HoM issues or a couple of others on YXM (with good writing to boot) would be awesome, but Skottie on UXM? No, thank you.

[jarrod]

Scottie Young draws the definitive Beast imo. I'm not even kidding.

[Imraith Nimphais]

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Why are the covers for Captain Britain and MI:13 never ready for the solicits?.

Possibly because Bryan Hitch is doing them. And seriously, who the hell is going to tell Hitch to hurry up? :biggrin: It may also be a plot related thing, but you'll notice that the cover usually comes out in time for the full Marvel Universe solicits... Funny that.

Anyway, to quote the solicit:

CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND MI13 #7
Written by PAUL CORNELL
Penciled by LEONARD KIRK
Cover by BRYAN HITCH
Brian Braddock has to make his hardest decision ever, in the room that grants your heart's desire. The power behind the Mindless Ones is revealed. Blade and Spitfire: at each other's throats? And our heroes have to fight their way out of: Hell Comes to Birmingham, part two.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

Blade and Spitfire you'd kind of expect. He hunts vampires. She's been hiding that she still IS a vampire for a few decades...

But a room which grants your heart's desire? Are we finally going to address Meggan, I wonder?

His unspoken lolita, Kitty Pryde! :biggrin:

Actually, I loved Pete's mention of Kitty during the Invasion. Some day, I really hope Cornell gets to write both of them... like say in two years when Ellis is exiting Astonishing?



Back to Brian, I do hope it's Meggan, but I'd like to see Cornell fix the "Courtney" debacle somehow too. Meggs *would* at least raise the mutant count to two though!

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Courtney is way more interesting than that feral child he married.

Depends. The Courtney who died was not a mutant. She was a Merchant banker. I'd say a woman who could morph into anything that he should so desire... probably makes her a little more interesting. :biggrin:

[jarrod]

I wouldn't say Sat-yr-9's a mutant either... I think her powers probably stem from her dealings in the occult on her homeworld.

Back to Brian, I do hope it's Meggan, but I'd like to see Cornell fix the "Courtney" debacle somehow too. Meggs *would* at least raise the mutant count to two though!

Lol. True. No that continuity needs fixing, that's for sure. If for no other reason that Sat-yr-9 is Brian's highest profile surviving villain.

On a different tangent really loving that Young X-Men cover. And it's Michael Ryan... I feel dirty.:frown:

Seriously, though, I'd easily take him over the current guy. Shame that Ryan's pace is such an obstacle on him doing ongoing titles.

But Brain & Kitty could've double dated with Betsy & Doug. :biggrin:


I'd love to see her join the cast - but I think we both know how likely that is.
Oh no, I meant down the line I'd like to see Cornell as the 3rd Astonishing writer. I doubt Kitty (or Kurt/Rachel for that matter) will ever be allowed on a non-X-Men team again.


Lol. True. No that continuity needs fixing, that's for sure. If for no other reason that Sat-yr-9 is Brian's highest profile surviving villain.
Think we may see 616 Jaspers in CB&MI:13? He does exist, and seemingly never activated his mutation yet... outside that, who else is there? Gatecrasher and the Technet? The Crazy Gang? Arcade? Um... maybe Mojo and Spiral? Any really old CB villians that could be dusted off and given a makeover?

The Jim Jaspers from the Jaspers War storyline, after Brian returned to 616, was the 616 version. The guy who appeared in Uncanny #200 was a continuity error.

The older CB villains? You don't want a lot of them to come back... trust me.:biggrin:

And people wonder why folks get annoyed with the character.

Or nickname him Whoreverine.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

It just seems to me that right now Wolverine is really owned by New Avengers and Astonishing X-Men. If he turns up in any other book, even his own to a degree, and interacts with any other character it won't ever come to much - because Marvel won't allow the status quo of Wolverine appearing IN those big two books to be affected. It really limits the character.

So what if he appears here, doing naughty poses with Domino? Do we honestly think it'll come to much in the end?

Maybe I'm cynical, or maybe I've just felt let down by too many Wolverine stories in the past...

[Beast]

Let down or simply burned out?

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Let down or simply burned out?

A bit of both, really.

Logan-fatigue. Ask your Doctor about it, folks. It's a killer...

[Pach!]

It doesn't really bother me because I don't buy/read what I don't enjoy. If they put him in 56 books and I skip 54 it doesn't really affect me.

[rwsmith]

Exactly! And it seems like a lot of these Wolverine minis and one-shots are just filler stories that Marvel has stockpiled over the years and are cranking out now so that they'll have plenty of stuff out there (and in trades) by the time the movie hits next May. Personally I'm glad, because that way I can ignore the ones that don't look interesting and don't have to worry about getting filler stories in his solo books that I do buy (Wolverine and Wolverine: Origins).

As for him being on so many teams, while I agree it is a bit much to have him in four ongoing team books, I can certainly see both sides of the argument. Putting him on the New Avengers (alongside Spider-man) was obviously a huge success for that entire franchise. And Astonishing is the "All-Star" X-men book, so he's got to be there as well. That brings up X-Force and Uncanny. IMO if Logan needs to be in any X-title, it's this one. This is the team he was born to lead, and the chemistry with him in charge is perfect IMO. Uncanny could really do without him, but I can certainly see why the X-editors and writers want him there. Having said that, he should really just be relegated to the background in UXM, at least IMO.

As for the solo books, I just can't figure out why any non-Wolverine fan would care? Just ignore them and everything will be okay. I promise. :wink:

[Swashbuckler]

I don't mind the Logan mini's and such, and I actually buy a lot of them, but I think some people just wish a few Logan mini's could be scrapped in exchange for mini's for other characters.

[rwsmith]

But why do they have to be scrapped for that to happen? Is there some limit to the number of minis Marvel can put out?

[KiplingKat]

It's just the constant weeping from the corner where continuity is shivering in a fetal ball.

Truthfully, I don't read the solo books, so that part of it is not a big deal. But the more panel space is taken up with Wolverine (and Scott, Emma and other heavily marketed characters), is less panel space for other characters. Other "old standards" that people who are not fans of those character would like to see, and new characters (or even old ones) that need to be developed.

Jamie Madrox did not become so popular by standing in the background while A-listers stole the show.

[creaky]

I don't mind the Logan mini's and such, and I actually buy a lot of them, but I think some people just wish a few Logan mini's could be scrapped in exchange for mini's for other characters.

No kidding. *sigh*

[KiplingKat]

But why do they have to be scrapped for that to happen? Is there some limit to the number of minis Marvel can put out? Don't blame a fictional character, blame Marvel for that.

Well, yeah It's called a budget. Marvel can only afford to print so many titles.

And I don't think anyone is blaming Wolverine the character for how he is being used.

[rwsmith]

Well, since you brought up budget, there must be a reason why they choose to do all these Wolverine minis instead of focusing on other characters, right? If the return on investment is there, then they would do it regardless IMO.

Are you saying that if they weren't putting all these Wolverine minis out that they'd be putting out more Rogue, Nightcrawler, Colossus, etc., minis? Because I don't buy that. If they thought they would sell well, they would do it regardless. Hell, some of these Wolverine minis don't even sell all that well!

So I change my statement saying you should blame Marvel. You should actually blame the consumers! And don't look at me either. I don't buy all of these Wolverine minis. I generally just stick to the ongoings.

It's just the constant weeping from the corner where continuity is shivering in a fetal ball.

Other "old standards" that people who are not fans of those character would like to see, and new characters (or even old ones) that need to be developed.

Jamie Madrox did not become so popular by standing in the background while A-listers stole the show.

I hear ya, but I do think that part of it has to be the constant shuffling of writers in and out of the main X-men books that has been going on for some time now. Think about it. Every new creative team comes in and wants to use "the big guns." By the time they're tired of them and would normally be getting around to some other characters, they're off the books and someone else is taking over. That could be part of the problem IMO.

Just my $.02.

[Pach!]

Well, yeah It's called a budget. Marvel can only afford to print so many titles.

And I don't think anyone is blaming Wolverine the character for how he is being used.

Yeah, well Marvel has to put out one shots that sell the most, plus I don't think a lot of writers have Polaris one shots pitches, whereas a lot of writers give pitches for wolverine to their editors.

[jarrod]

I agree with Sword... it's not an issue of disliking Wolverine, I really like the character quite a bit. It's more that due to his overexposure, it stifles the character to a degree and impedes any real sense of progress, danger, evolution or growth. He literally can't change in any way, unless given editorial decree from on high and mandated down through who knows how many editors and writers.

The various minis don't bother me much, as they're fluff. It's the fact that he's forced in six ongoing titles that holds the character back imo... that's what actually limits writers when it comes to Wolverine. I prefer Wolverine the character to Wolverine the franchise.

[justinkos91]

WTF? What happened to Pixie? :eek:

LOL

A "bud...get?" Please tell me more!

[Michael Sean]

X-force cover looks good. I like Domino a lot and am glad she'll be in this book. I think her and Wolverine make a good combo. I loved them in Grant Morrison's New X-men annual from a while back.

I also like the Uncanny cover with Dazzler. She looks really pretty there.

[Squidboy]

The appearances of Domino in Cable, Anole in Young X-Men (along with the absence of Wolfcub), and Dazzler in Uncanny should make some fans happy. I have to say though, the best news to come out of November is a fill-in artist on X-Factor. I'm not gonna bash on Stroman, but I preferred DeLandro's art during the last arc, and it's cool that he's going to be showing up some more. Hopefully there will be some more of him and Raimondi in the future, and you know, maybe a few more Wolverine books, since he's in need for a few more stories about him each month.

[ProfeZZor X]

It doesn't bother me that Wolverine is in so many books. What bothers me is the number of X-characters Marvel has in their posession that can be exploited like Wolverine, but none of them are being used to that capacity.

Wolverine is popular because practically every writer out there has had a chance to use him, and Marvel has taken great strides to cash in on his popularity because of the amount of exposure and attention he's getting. Much like how the media drops the name of "Joe Nobody", and after hearing the name a few times on television, "Joe Nobody" becomes a household name.

Eventually that Wolverine Cash cow will die, so I think they should at least give some of the other x-characters a bigger push than what they're getting. The very least they can do is have a 5 year rotation of characters in the lime light. Or something to that degree. Because eventually it'll be Logan, jumping that motorcycle over the shark tank in the parking lot of the Mansion.

[creaky]

I don't want any other character to be exploited like Wolverine. I just want balance.

Edit: OK, and good Nightcrawler stories.

Edit 2: OK, so I want good Nightcrawler stories more than I want balance.

[Jota]

I keep wondering why instead of just let Jason Aaron continue his run on the Wolverine book with the Manifest Destiny tie-in and make Old Man Logan a mini, which is what it should be, they're doing it backwards...I agree with that. I allways tought Old Man Logan would be much more fitting as a mini series.

I'm going to get Wolverine: Manifest Destiny because Aaron as been great everytime he wrote the guy. I'm thinking about the Power Pack one too, to be honest. With Chris Giarrusso writing it, it will certainly be funny!
Emma's boots are weird as hell in the Ghost Boxes cover. I'll probaly get that one too. I'm undecided about Uncanny.
X-Force, on the other hand, is a must get. That cover... DAMN!! Didn't Choi said he changed the cover to be less risky then the original version he drew?

[KittyPryde]

Hooray! Finally some Colossus-deals-with-Kitty-heartache handling! :biggrin: About freakin' time! :evilangry:

[Jota]

It doesn't bother me that Wolverine is in so many books. What bothers me is the number of X-characters Marvel has in their posession that can be exploited like Wolverine, but none of them are being used to that capacity.If they did they would be exploited as much as Wolverine. Some may be underused but reaching a level like Wolverine's its very hard.
He didn't become popular because someone in Marvel said: "Let's push this guy and ignore all the others." He hit it with the fans, it happens.
Marvel, from time to time, pushes a character a bit more. Some do better then others, but, if they see one that has the potencial to sell as much as Wolverine, you can be sure they will milk that cow.

[Brett P]

Nothing really shouts out to me that much this month....

I'm most interested in seeing what's going on with Wolfsbane in X Force and Angel, Beast and Colossus in Uncanny. I had a dream that Kitty returned in Uncanny...how I wish that dream would come true 'cos I am REALLY missing her.

Love the Madrox cover.



also, young x-men's cover is by michael ryan, not yanick paquette as the solict says.

I knew it wasn't Paquette but I didn't see Ryans signature and would never have guessed that was his work. I loved his Academy X stuff but this cover leaves alot to be desired. Rockslide looks horrible and that is quite possibly the worst Dust I have EVER seen. I'm glad to see Victor of course but I don't much care for that line up...hopefully Surge, Magma, Blindfold and Dani are also part of the book going forward.

Why Is Kurt Wearing white??

Yeah, apparently Madame Dodson hasn't looked at his current costume 'cos it was colored that way on their Secret Invasion: X-Men covers too. Likewise, they don't seem to care to keep Pixie's eyes consistant with everyone elses. The Uncanny cover is pretty nice overall though.

[ProfeZZor X]

"WOLVERINE and the X-Men" is a perfect example of that.

...And despite someone else taking on the leadership role of the team, Logan is the one with the name above title, so to speak. Go figure.

[Seikun21]

I hate myself for really liking the Young X-men cover, stupid awesome Michael Ryan. Stupid awesome Anole, though I'm not sure how he's upside down like that. I think it might have to do with his wall crawling power, or just trying to hold on to the Young X-men title. But if you ignore that it looks like he's being hung up by a tail, like Nightcrawler. But Victor doesn't have a tail.

Dust's abaya looks really weird though, kind of melty. Is she wearing Cessily?

[Brett P]

"Is she wearing Cessily?" LOL...if it meant Cess was in the book then I'd go for that! Probably one too many grey/silver members though...lol

One of Vics feet is pressed into the ceiling, he's just in mid movement. I hope we get to see alot more of his stealth powers now he's finally in a starring role. I like Greymalkin and don't mind Ink but I still wish Julian and Cessily were there instead.

So is the "Wolverine and The X-Men" magazine to do with the new cartoon? No info isn't very helpful!

[Seikun21]

Too many grey/silver characters? Then Santo needs to go back to his Limbo rock form.

The only way I can accept Ink is if he turns out to be a generally nice guy and Victor's boyfriend. I don't mind Greymalkin all that much.

[Mitteloss]

Yeah, well Marvel has to put out one shots that sell the most, plus I don't think a lot of writers have Polaris one shots pitches, whereas a lot of writers give pitches for wolverine to their editors.

Why Polaris?

[drwho]

Alot of books coming out, but nothing screams buy me. Just seems like same old stories.

[Pach!]

Why Polaris?

Because I needed to use someone and that sexy green haired girl is always on my mind.

[HeckBoy]

Nice solicits. Anole back on a X-team is intriguing. At the very least, it'll get me to seriously consider getting Young X-Men now. Hopefully, the new direction will be good, and that the rest of the team (I assume there'll be more than just those 5 on the cover) will also be better.

[jmc247]

Yeah, well Marvel has to put out one shots that sell the most, plus I don't think a lot of writers have Polaris one shots pitches, whereas a lot of writers give pitches for wolverine to their editors.

The creative process is often working the other way these days. Like take CW House of M for instance, the editors came to Gage with the idea. Of course certain fans like myself were lobbying for that story to be told for some time.

"What's gratifying is that editors Bill Rosemann and Tom Brevoort asked me if I'd be interested in writing this one as well, and I was definitely game.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=16891


Magneto Testament also came from the Marvel editors. There are few if any writers that are huge fans of Magneto and his family with real power at Marvel today like CC in the 1980s, but there are enough HoM fans were Marvel editors themselves are coming up with the outline of stories and giving them to different writers to execute.

[Anna]

Lol. I will also not be buying this:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/images/solicits/marvelcomics/200811/YNGXM008_cov.jpg

Because they seem to have killed off the amazing Wolfcub to replace him with Emo Lizard.



Anole >>>>> Wolfcub. Where's Blindfold?

[Seikun21]

Anole >>>>> Wolfcub. Where's Blindfold?

A dead rat >>>>> Wolfcub. What's your point?:tongue:

Blindfold might not be a field operative anymore, a stay at the base and say cryptic things type member.

[CMBMOOL]

Since I usually wait for the trades I would get X-force, WOlverine and the power pack, Wolverine's First Class and Cable.

Unless they can pull off some major fireworks in the rest of the titles, then those are the only ones I'm getting. :redface:

[Beast]

Anole >>>>> Wolfcub. Where's Blindfold?
I'd prefer Wolf Cub. At least he wasn't a complete ass.

Hopefully at least with Anole in Young X-Men he'll get the beating he deserves.

[Seikun21]

I'd prefer Wolf Cub. At least he wasn't a complete ass.

Wolfcub wasn't a complete ass? Also I reject the Skottie Young story, it was not in continuity.

[Shade101]

DARNIT! I wish they would've had a cover for the Storm mini series. And HELL YES for Olivier Coipel on Astonishing! I loved Bianchi, but I love Coipel even more!

[Seikun21]

You know I've been wondering about the X-men Manifest Destiny solicit. It says something about Colossus and a young X-man, who do you think it could be? It might be another Illyana short story.

[BruisedShins]

is there a reason why ink's fist is metallic on the young x-men cover?

part of his tattoo or something?

[jester1436]

I'd prefer Wolf Cub. At least he wasn't a complete ass.

Hopefully at least with Anole in Young X-Men he'll get the beating he deserves.

What alternate reality are you getting your comics from?

And seriously, what the hell? Just what the hell to this.
