So much Colossus-hate in this thread. If only he was as iconic a character as...let's say Dazzler. I don't understand why Colossus gets so much page time while an all-time classic character like Dazzler barely appears anywhere. I just don't get it. It's so unfair, considering all the memorable Dazzler moments that we've been treated to over the years. Like that one time she was jealous over Longshot, or that other time she was all into disco and was a popular disco singer and was not dated at all. Boy, if only Colossus could be relevant like that. :wink:

I agree with you there is WAY to much Colossus-hate in this thread, Also WAY to much BEAST-hate, Also there been WAY to much Matt Fraction-hate ever since he took over writing this book & WAY to much Uncanny X-Men in general.

I don't see how people think Uncanny doesn't have a rotating cast. Sure, it isn't ideal at the moment, but I believe it will be soon. I see hardly any Wolverine in these pages at least, barely even in background scenes. In this issue he never even appeared, however we got Archangel, Dr. Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, that new Japanese guy, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Pixie etc. None of them appear in Astonishing X-Men, and besides Archangel, none appear in any other book. Looks like there IS a rotating cast, then....


A few issues ago there was heavy focus on Karma, Storm, Madelyne, Empath, Pixie, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Magneto, Mastermind, X-23, Armor, Cannonball, etc...

No, it isn't ideal. Yet. I know it sounds obnoxious, but give it time. Within the next 10 issues or less I see the book taking a complete spin and all of the obscure fan-favorites will step up. I think right now Fraction is giving A-List focus to establich his footing in the new book, give it a sense of direction.... "What is happening to the X-MEN right now, not just the satellite members?"

There should definitely be more Storm and Dazzler, agreed. Less Emma, more of them. And more Karma. People LOVE her. Plus, they would make the X-Men seem more legal, instead of them hanging out with Pixie and Armor all of the time. More Cannonball, Nightcrawler, Iceman, Gentle, and Psylocke would also be a nice change. But shortly I see this happening!

I couldn't have said it better myself I agree completely with you.

This arc seemed to be filler anyway. Not useless filler, but mostly setting up different character arcs or plots for future stories.

Sebastian Shaw has been jumping around the X-Universe a lot since Messiah CompleX and maybe I missed an appearance but was he captured in a different book before showing up in this issue?

I understand the symbolism of having Katya tattooed on his chest to reflect his love for her but I have to admit it'll be interesting the next time Colossus rips off his shirt in battle.

I'm also curious what Kitty's reaction is going to be when she returns and sees it.

I know the creators working in the X-Universe right now have been referring to Cyclops building an army, or the X-Men becoming an army but I always took it as some sort of. . . I dunno, metaphor or something. Cyclops saying he IS in fact building a mutant army means that he has a larger agenda in store. Could this be setting up a possible exploration of the Human-Mutant War? How effective could less than two hundred mutants be against legions of anti-mutant assholes?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the girl sitting with Pixie was Armor, not Karma.

The scenes with the Science Team were pretty cool. I have to admit that bringing Archangel back is really pumping up Warren's profile. I love that Beast isn't stuck in his lab all the time.

I think Matt Fraction has a decent handling on the characters, but I wish he would be more proactive with this rotating cast system. Maybe it was just this arc but I want to see more minor characters having more than one or two lines.

Though the New Mutants are going to be back in their own book, so fleshing them out in Uncanny would be redundant. The X-Force team is well handled in their own title. X-Factor is X-Factor.

Truth is, I don't think we should take rotating cast so literally. A lot of the characters are already featured (or will be) in their own books.

I do think Matt Fraction can handle the X-Men. Let's see how the Sisterhood arc goes.

I agree completely

Clearly I inhabit some sort of Bizarro-world where my opinions will always be the opposite of those of the X-board.

Because I found Carey's X-Men run dull and pedestrian and dropped it very quickly. And managed to last two issues into X-Force before doing the same. But I've absolutely LOVED Uncanny X-Men since #500, and it's one of my favourite books due to the rotating plots, constant development and inclusion of characters I care about at all.

Oh, and the final piece of evidnece that my thoughts are the reverse of the X-board- Beast is just about my favourite character in the X-universe. So there you go. :biggrin:

You're not alone, I didn't enjoy any of Mike Carey's adjectiveless, and I remain ambivalent about X-Force as well as Kyle and Yost's NXM.

I think in theory Uncanny is a book I should like, but on the same hand I agree with several other CBR boarder's complaints about it. I don't have any problem with Beast or his science team, but they've not done much to pique my interest. Colossus hasn't ever been fleshed out as a character, and my hopes of him finally getting some substance have been dashed by Fraction's dialogue and plotlines.

I've suffered through worse with this book in the almost 20 years I've been reading it.

I just wanted to say that I also like Beast, but I'm a Dazzler fan first. I hate it when Beast is boring and he was completely emo in Endangered Species, so he's been sucking for a good long while. This "X-Club" (I really hate the name btw.) is really nothing more than a retread of Nextwave and makes me long for the real deal and some Immonen art.

I'm wondering, what can we call the blindly followed, die hard Matt Fraction fans? LCDs? Lowest Common Denomiator? As in fractions? Because that's what I feel what they are. Like anything will please them as long it's written by him. Again you could say that about every writer and his fans.:wink:

I have no issue with Fraction... nor do most Magneto fans I know. But, we have no idea what this means other then he is repowered (like Lorna we don't know if he is offically a mutant again). But, the important questions are if it is setting Magneto up to come back to Earth and try to undo M-Day? Is it setting him up to 'try to take over the world' again? Is it setting him up to try to ally with the X-Men to save mutants? Hell if I know.

If it gave me some idea where the character and the story is going I would have more to say about it. But, I suspect his story line will be on hold again for some time.

Random observation: I'm always baffled at how we see Colossus, Nightcrawler and {insert other European national here} say words like "yes" and "no" in his/her native languages while everything else is said in fluent English. "No" and "yes" are among the first (if not THE first) words one learns in another language.

Not-so-random observation: the tatt sucks. And not in an endearing "oh wow, tell me kind of drunken night of debauchery led to you getting that!" sort of way.

Well, in this issue she was super-super-super nice and a bitch, heh. :biggrin:

But I really don't see Scott and Emma splitting, let alone being in separate and rival teams. It's going to cause a major crisis, but Fraction himself said he loves the relationship, and them trying to work out the issues, while constantly fighting, and then having sex, and then fighting again, has much more story potential than having them just break up, or Emma becoming a completely evil bitch.

Anyway, what's happening in X-force now will cause serious problems, but I could even see bringing them closer later. If there's someone that understands what Scott is going to feel now, a trauma for being in some part responsible for at least one student death, is Emma. .

Plus, if Maddie will really become a recurring villain (if it is Maddie) then it doesn't make much sense for them to be apart.

Eh.....at least Emma -tried- to save her students...and she never once used one as a sacrificial lamb.

here's a thought, if you don't like it...don't read it? don't devote so much time & effort into it? get a life?

any one of those things would be more beneficial than obsessing over it like this. some of us still enjoy comics & it's having to sort through page after page of non-constructive crap like this is obnoxious.

Yes....at the time she thought she was doing it for their own good...to make them strong and protect them..in her own warped way.

You really think this decision is in the interests of the mutants around him?

Yes yes.....for the almighty messiah baby prophecy.

Much of it comes down to priorities. Mine would be the welfare and happiness of the people around me in the present...not some abstract prophecy that i was informed to butt out of...by other teammates as well as my own intuition.

It's fine to be as biased for certain characters as i am for some.....get testy at me all You want. It still doesn't take away the fact that Cyclops is choosing to become actively involved in this prophecy..which should just play itself out...over the welfare of people who he supposedly considers his family an teammates.

Is it a cut and dried decisions? No. A rock and a hard place? Perhaps.

Much of it is down to what You feel is right. i would never allow someone i loved to be sacrificed like that for a cause. Cyclops would. If You are fine with that....so be it.

So...yeah...in my opinion...Tabitha, and possibly Surge and Hellion, died due to the control issues of Scott Summers.

And it IS supposed to be a controversial decision, of course. All the characters involved are questioning, Scott himself has doubts (the moments in which he's sitting down in silence), but his motivation is save mutantkind, not some hidden agenda or anything.

As for what I would do? Probably what you would, but I am not the leader of a race on the brink of extinction due to low numbers and other people attempting to commit genocide.

Without a substancial increase in their numbers, mutantkind is likely to be extinct soon. Hope is at this point their only hope (no pun intended) of reversing this. Does that justifies Scott's actions, even if he's right? I don't know, but I understand his POV.

That is the hallmark of a well written character when you can understand a characters POV and empathize with their actions even if you don't agree with all of them. The hallmark of a poorly written character is when all one can do is say 'he or she is evil or crazy' and you really can't empathize with or understand their actions.

i implied nothing. i flat out said what i meant. Scott's number one goal wasn't saving Tabitha and the other students...which makes them sacrificial lambs. Would they be willing sacrificial lambs if they new the situation? Perhaps..tho i doubt it.

We agree on more than You think. The only difference being Scott Summers and his actions leave a bad taste in my mouth....and i while i think he fits the bill as leader on a purely tactical level....being a leader requires You to be able to connect to Your teammates....i believe Scott is a bit too emotionally underdeveloped for that. Storm made mistakes as leader also...but her ability to connect with her followers is something Scott could learn from.

With the ambiguous direction, those opinions are just as valid as fans who put Scott on a pedestal.

I am quite understanding of characters who are performing actions many might disagree with when trying to protect others or their race as long as their actions are somewhat understandable.

But, like I said it has to make sense, be somewhat understandable and be for the greater good. I have long been interested in gray characters like Scott is today or Magneto sometimes is depicted as... and no I am not talking about the Magneto who would mass slaughtering humans and mutants because he is a power hungry madman like in Ultimatum and a certain other medium reciently. There is nothing I find redeemable or interesting about such characters.

While, Scott's actions I may not entirely agree with I can understand what they are coming from and I can believe he wants what is best for his people. That is the hallmark of a gray character.

Maybe it's because you haven't been reading this thread (or others), but people who don't even worship Dazzler aren't enjoying this run. In fact, unholy unions of Dazzler fans, Magneto fans, Emma fans, Karma fans etc. are sharing the same sentiment.

Meh. Really. That about sums up my feeling on this issue and the new run so far. I'm very underwhelmed. I keep waiting for something exciting or worthwhile to happen, but instead I'm treated to Emma doing her best Jean impersonations, Colossus saving whores & Beast collecting a group of oddballs for "science!"

I see no redeemable qualities so far. And since I have a subscription (which I got because of all the hyperbole surrounding this "exciting, new direction!") then I may as well read it--it's already paid for and will continue to be shipped to my address regardless of how unappealing it is.

This is definitely not the best (or even close to it) that the X-books have seen in the last decade. Brubakers Shi'Ar epic was definitely flawed but did produce some interesting moments (even if for an issue or two the actual X-team wasn't even featured) and then the Hippie arc was good fun. #500 seemed like it'd go somewhere but everything since has felt like filler. 6 issues of filler (the max allowable should be 2). I have hope that the Sisterhood arc will be better (I'm really hoping, actually, since my subscription still has a ways to go before it runs out). This is not a rotating cast, it's rotating background/wallpaper characters--and you can find that in ANY book. Emma is not being written well at all. I feel like I'm reading boring, matriarch Jean Grey with a blonde wig on. Also--no way in hell would Emma (being such a "friend" of Colossus') allow him to get a fug memorial tatoo in the center of his godly man-pecs...of a girl that seemed to have been based off Jennifer Gray for most of her existance. This is not Emma it's an imposter! lol

Wow, this thread made me remember why I stopped even bothering to read anything in the X-Men section of CBR, all because I was stopping in to say how this stuff with the X-Club and Fraction's run have been some of the best comics in the X-Universe in over a decade. I forgot though that unless you bow down and worship that the crap that is Dazzler or hate whomever is fun to hate at the moment you might as well not bother posting in the X-Men thread, but in support of the awesomeness known as X-Club and especially Doctor Nemesis I felt it'd throw my two cents in

It is not about bowing down to Dazzler or hating on whoever is fun to hate.

It is about this direction being boring as hell and getting worse every issue.

IMO of course...

To quote a wise prophet: Jesus Saves, I Spend. And when I buy a copy of Uncanny, I realize I should listen a little more to Jesus and quit spending my money on... this. UNCANNY X-MEN MAKES YOU RENEW YOUR FAITH!

I should have expected an issue like this, considering how terrible the previous issue was. It's not like Matt Fraction can (or will) change these terrible stories on a dime, so we're stuck with immense tragedy in this "sensational installment."

The problem with Fraction is that he doesn't seem comfortable writing the X-Men. Everyone -- everyone -- has de-volved into ridiculous cliche in a near-Claremontian fashion. I've read these stories a million times before. More: the characters themselves have been through these stories a million times before." There's no growth, no progression -- nothing besides a modern dialogue and updated backdrop to the same stuff you read in the 1980's. When will the characters move. on. from. this. cycle. of. BORING!?

I guess X-Men: Forever truly is a brilliant concept then, since Uncanny X-Men is basically doing the same thing.

Since we have our rule prohibiting raw, uncut, sizzling hot SPOILERS!!! I can't SPOIL!!! this for you. So here's the Cliff's Notes. Some sensational things to expect:

1. THE ROTATING CAST IN HOT ACTION! If you had doubts about this master-class idea, you are SO going to have foot-in-mouth disease! Yes, my friends, you will see two -- yes TWO -- females on the X-Plantation eating a bowl of cereal as they answer Beast's (whomustdie) question on the whereabouts of CYCLOPS and the WHITE QUEEN! You'll be shocked at which two random chicks Fraction pulled out for this scene-stealing panel!

2. BEAST!!!! Yes, you two BEAST!!! fans! You'll get pages and pages of BEAST!!!! Beast being scientific! Beast being emo with his BFF Angel! Beast saying the X-Club is here to save mutantkind! BEAST BEAST BEAST!

SIDEBAR SPECIAL!: Why is Fraction pushing this X-Club? Their "drama" is over in mere minutes, they bloviate on how awesomely special they are (when they aren't), and it's full of BORING MEN! Is this Fraction's writing wheelhouse? Because if so, he needs to get out of this disgusting cycle.

3. COLOSSUS' SIDE-PLOT ENDS IN A SENSATIONAL WAY! Yes, my friends. This plot closes "full-circle" in the most laughable, redonkulous way ever. What was apparently written to be a real tear-jerker, it's more like a real LMFAOWTFLOL crescendo. And it results in Colossus ruining the only thing he has going for him: his succulent, motorboat-worthy moobs. Now they're ruined. Now Colossus is fully irredeemable.

4. EMMA FROST'S MADONNA/WHORE! Yes! You get a MomJeans-styled Emma, and also the EEEEVILWHITEQUEEN Emma, just pages apart! Who is Emma Frost? Apparently Fraction doesn't know any more, because as the only woman in this title, she's has to represent the vast array of female character archetypes in comics: the Damsel and the Bitch! Joy!

ALSO!

One character's shameful secret... is revealed! This may change the group dynamic... possibly forever! And an ending so shocking!!!! you could NEVAR HAVE PREDICTED IT!!!!!!!!!1 Except, you know, if you've ever read >10 X-Men comics in your lifetime.

One good scene -- one -- is in this book. One. And it involves Cyclops. And it's a half a page.

Fraction sure knows how to put the F in Fun. And that's exactly how I would grade this issue:

F

Sorry, Dodson.

Painful.... just painful to read....

If I didn't have X-Force and Legacy, or even slow Astonishing (which gives much better characterization, IMO), I'd be done.

I've never seen Emma channel Jean so well. She needs to channel that around Scott so he'll trust her more. This would be the answer to that problem!

So, is Beast now going to be questioning his worth on the team since he's realizing that both Scott and Warren, his oldest homies, have been keeping him out of the loop? Oh, the angst of it all..........

Colossus......... a potential to be such a great character, but his story arc ends in "Da. Da. Katya. Katya. Katya..." which makes him sound like he's no longer mentally stable instead of overcoming the pain.

But wait... now I see the White Queen in all her delicious bitchy glory doing what she does best... apparently right after the Annual story now... and now I'm wondering how many personality archetypes is Emma Frost going to have to be?

It's cool to see Mags again, but I groan inside because Fraction will be handling him. If his solution does help to repower mutants, then there's some definite story possibilities. But then where does that leave Beast and his Get Along Gang? Really... I don't care.

Let's get to the Sisterhood Arc.... where Land's cut, paste, and trace art will be the eyesore..... oh joy... Fraction will have to come with it just to get us past that....... uummmmm... yeah...

Sounds like it was written by some femi-nazi dyke.

It was a powerpacked treatise. Unabomber-esque in its frank brutality.

Some of us have a bulimic relationship to knowledge.

My coworkers love when I bring copies of this book into work, actually. The concept of X-23 causes them to foam at the mouth with rage. They were also pissed that she didn't come out of the shower naked.

I agree. Pixie should have taken a bloody tampon to Emma.

Rage? Or unbridled sexuality?

Thanks for the Freudian insight, i'll be thinking of processed meats everytime you post now.

I think with those aggro str8 boys, it's the same thing. That's why I like to tease their cocks with pictures of Emma Frost straddling whoever Greg Land is tracing. Some of them like fatties, I think, so I give them copies of Dodson's plump Emma.

Funny, if you don't like a book, don't read it either. Yet you guys continually buy it and then whine whine whine. How about you put your money where your mouth is. Stop buying the book if you hate it so much.

I don't tend to buy it. I put on a cunning disguise & "browse it" in the store, whilst purchasing worthwhile titles like "X-force." I actually physically can't buy it normally if Land is involved. I have the same reaction to it as werewolves have to silver.

I thought I'd give it a go this time (you know, giving it a chance...) but no, it was still shite & as I mentioned previously (about 600 pages ago) I attempted to use it in my cats litter tray, but she just looked at me with a disdainful glance & proceeded to excrete in the rubber plant instead. Go figure.

Seriously, just chill. It's a comic, it's Friday, it's lovely & sunny (well it is in London anyway.) If you love it dellicous then bravo for you. I'm not moaning about it, I'm enjoying reading comments by people on this board who are creative & fabulous with their use of the English language.

The fattie-lovers are usually masking an oedipal complex, and Dodson's soccermom visage for all his female characters hits the mark every time.

They also really loved the udders Dazzler pulled out while visiting Pixie in the hospital.

lol, some of you miss the exception to that rule: people who subscribe to the book. I've already paid for it (and got the subscription in the first place because of all the lofty promises for the book) so I'll complain all the live long day since I have no choice on whether I will still receive the book or be refunded my money. It was paid for, it was not good & it has yet to deliver on any of those goods from the hyperbole interviews

Emma donated her Astonishing X-Men costume to Oxfam...this is probably how Elisabeth came across it.

Well yes I know that. But Betsy is going to return to 616 in the Sisterhood Arc. Just seeing her(even in the CC story) makes me leak for the Sisterhood. And since Land will be drawing that particular arc it only seems right to leak.

I have no faith that Fraction will correctly write Psy with the same cornball panache that Mr. Claremont has imbued her with for years.

Land is drawing Fractions biggest fight scene ever...this includes: Psylocke, Revanche, Pryor, Emma, Karma, Pixie, The Masterminds, Spiral, Deathstrike and Chimera...this will be hilarious the boobs will block out the speech bubbles. And God knows what kind of material he'll need to read in order to trace that scene.

Land is pretty tasteful. I don't think he'll be as good a storyteller as Jackson Guice, but it still looks good with the right inker. And it's a nice change of pace from the Aspen/Top Cow or Adam Hughes default faces everyone's doing on women lately.

LOL & there'll be a panel of Scott, still behind his desk (a la X-Force) & still masturbating furiously.

That battle scene is going to be porno-licious! Lets predict what faces we will see.

1) Coyly looking at the camera from a side angle.
2) Head thrown back in orgasmic laughter
3) Finger in the mouth & a saucy glint in her eye.
4) The "Ooooh" mouth
5) Pixie looking fug but with massive knockers.
