I actually enjoyed those previews. It seems like Uncanny is going to get better with the Sisterhood arc. I LOVED the scene between the Mastermind sisters. And Land seems to be more tolerable in the previews. I still would prefer to have Dodson back though.

Thanks for the link. And I don't care that much for the preview, or the idea. There's already a more interesting "hot female telepathic villain raises people from the dead" subplot going on in X-force.

At least the more interesting story is moving forward now. Or threatening to move forward. Lots of smiling women is better then the science club.
Yeah, Dom rocks, glad to see her in uncanny

That actually IS an interesting preview, rare from Uncanny these days. I'm actually in suspense.
Although if that's all Chimera and Lady Deathstrike have in them, fail!
Since when was Martinique self-loathing? That dialogue was odd. :confused:

you know this was pretty good. I liked this preview a lot and domino was pretty good. The dialogue was definitely hot and the story looks good. Find it hard to believe this is an x-men fraction comic. Perhaps betsy will be getting her original body back. Id hate it, but who knows. Best written x-men book ive seen in a while.

Finally, this reads more like the fraction I'm used to reading, instead of that crap I've read for the last two arcs. Bravo! Nice return to form, Mr. Fraction.

That kind of surprised me, too.
She's always been kind of moody and depressed (in the X-Corps storyline, it showed she preferred creating illusions for herself than participating in the real world). It also surprised me that she actually wants her father back. In the same storyline, she seemed unimpressed with her father and actually quite apathetic towards him. Now all of a sudden she wants him back to life? Random...

After taking a break from Uncanny, maybe I'll start picking it up again. I'm interested in seeing who all gets resurrected.
I just hope the rest of the issue isn't clogged with non-sisterhood nonsense. I <3 the description of Lady Deathstrike: Spiral's Magic Murder Doll (even though she seems a bit off, even for her).
RoguefanAM

I thought it read okay. But just okay. Why is everyone saying that he got Regan's voice right? In the preview she says like one line and it isn't bitchy or trashy, so I don't really get it. I like having all the ladies, thats cool. Cool to have Domino too (but isn't she in the future right now...with Wolverine...oh).

just remembered something. Does kwannon know about the mojo eyes and that spiral used to work for mojo? Also does anyone here think Betsy would want her body back with its fake eye balls? Didnt Kwannon somewhat show sorrow when she was dieing. I hope not all these characters are just pissed of b#tches.

She ripped her eyeballs out and left them for either Betsy or Professor X in X-Men 31 I believe.

Is Neena a name Faction made up or is that part of her character before?
Hi-Fi
04-10-2009, 01:12 AM
Domino is known as both Neena and Beatrice. It's been like that for a while now. One of those names is supposed to be false, but I don't think they ever revealed which. Right now, they've been treating Neena as her real one, so I guess Beatrice was fake.
Waterlily
04-10-2009, 01:19 AM

Well, wikipedia says;
She was then assigned to guard the genius Dr. Milo Thurman, whose analytical ability made him too dangerous for the government to let roam free. Somehow, Domino and Thurman fell in love and were married, apparently officially. Thurman had a thing for Dante's "Inferno" and called Domino "Beatrice." However, they eventually divorced when Domino had to change postings.
I've never read what this story. The only stories I've read that had Domino in them were X-Force issues around when OZT was happening. So it looks like it's been changed.

First Uncanny (or part of) that I've read since Messiah Complex finished... and it wasn't bad!
I'm gonna have to check me out some trades and see what I've been missing.
So Domino was taking flowers to Kwannon's grave per Wolverine? I didn't know they were friends or he even interacted with her. The art is tolerable compared to Land's first arc.

Maybe they are trying to streamline "Psylocke" a little. Granted, they add a resurrection which always is a bit messy, but the crimson dawn thing (whatever that is) and power-swap with Jean will no longer matter since they happened to another character. Not to mention everything else that happened after the other character's resurrection in Uncanny.
And, most important of all, she will no longer be a fake Asian. :smile:

We really don't. No one was demanding Domino to be in Uncanny. What's with Kwannon getting resurrected? She's a lame duck character. What's next? Adam X-Treme? Gossamyr? Nina and the Mannites?
*ahem* Please do not put the lovely Kwannon/Revanche in the same category of Adam-X.:tongue:

It's amazing how Uncanny has become interesting without Cyclops, Emma, Beast, and Colossus.
Strange.
Wow, one of the more astute observations I've read in a while.
I loved that preview. The writing is first-rate, the characterization is great, the art is the best panel-to-panel action I've seen from Land in ages (no gratuitous poses, each female character is unique). There was a sense of detail, of reality, that used to be a hallmark of UNCANNY in the 1980s. I could follow the dialog, and the story without wondering who was saying what, or what the hell was going on.
And the preview itself had a beginning, middle, and end, like the chapter of a book.
But still, there was something more. I felt renewed excitement, as I read those pages. I felt a sense of freedom and release and that old X-Men fangirl love returning. Why, I couldn't understand ... the art and writing weren't THAT good. And then I read lockerogue's post and it hit me. Brilliant observation. There was no Cyclops, especially no more Emma Frost, no Beast, no Colossus, no Cable and red-headed little girls in the same story trundling along, repeating endlessly in X-book after X-book.
But of course, these are just preview pages. I'm sure the rest of the comic will feature -- as others have pointed out with such wistfulness -- panel after panel of White Queen and Summers in bed, or Frost jutting her boobs at the reader, or Cyclops claiming "mutants are superior," and, "mutants must rule," and "let's go kill us some more flatscans."
Oh well, sorry for the rant. Had to get that out.
Really amazing how someone (lockerogue in this case) can see around the corner and perceive a truth that should have been so obvious to me.
Oh, and PS, I am not unhappy with the return of Kwannon. As long as they (the editors and writers) keep that tangle of continuity from getting more tangled.

What's with Kwannon getting resurrected?
It seems an odd choice to me as well. You have to have been reading for over 16-17 years of x-men to remember her. Her storyline isn't even in trade. Hopefully, she still sports that really cool perm she had to make up for this.
Ahhh! Lady Kwannon! My heart is full!
It doesn't look as bad as the book has been lately. It's still not at the point where I'm willing to pay money for it again but at least it looks a little more interesting.
Woah girl!

That explains why we haven't seen Hepzibah lately.
She has been exiled from the Marin Base. Space aliens have no place in Scott's New World Order Mutant Militia.
Uh, Domino's got plenty of facetime in X-Force, do we really need to see her in Uncanny? Christ. Do the writers even compare notes?
Of course the writers compare notes! That's why we have the same characters in every single book! Now that Domino is getting facetime over in X-Force, it is IMPERATIVE that she be brought to Uncanny. I look forward to her inclusion in Astonishing.
(However, truth be told I thought her appearance in Uncanny made sense, at least, by virtue of her power)
It seems an odd choice to me as well. You have to have been reading for over 16-17 years of x-men to remember [Kwannon]. Her storyline isn't even in trade. Hopefully, she still sports that really cool perm she had to make up for this.
Judging by the preview art, it seems Land will not be keeping her fabulous perm :frown:

Perhaps the science club will save the day? I'm sure Fraction would love the mighty men of the science club to defeat the women of the Sisterhood.
Upon further reflection I find this preview rather misogynistic. Note how Domino defeats Chimera!

I dunoo about how I feel about the science team, they haven't done anything yet... so I can't really say anything, well except that they're a motley crew. That's for sure.
We've seen this story already. It was in Endangered Species. *spoilers* It didn't work, */spoilers* but I'm sure this latest rendition will end in ZOMG! excitement.

But then he worked it in to plot when Domino used the guy's sword to skewer Chimera in the tits!
Which totally made the preview for me.

Still pointless. Domino shouldn't have needed the sword, or she should have found one laying around in the graveyard. Wolverine owns it afterall.

Look at the preview art that has been scanned on these pages. Lady Kwannon has eyes. Spiral helped Mojo gift Lady Elizabeth Glorianna with her artificial eyes, and most likely blessed Lady Kwannon with her own.
How Blessed it is that Lady Kwannon is returned to us during this most Holy Season!

LOL. OK.
You mean the upcoming cover sketch?
It would be cool if she still didn't have eyes, but then poor Ruth would be out of a job.

I have been looking forward to British Betsy returning in some form since I was a kid. I wasn't old enough to read it the first time around but I've been so interested in Psylocke having two bodies for as long as I've been reading comics. I'm very excited for these issues so I had to renew my Uncanny subscription after a couple years of being comic-less.

I have a vague feeling that Spiral referring to Kwannon as 'the vessel' means that the Sisterhood intends to use Kwannon's body for someone else.
My bet is on Psylocke, which will finally return Betsy to her original body.

I don't think so. "Vessel" in reference to Psylocke has a loaded meaning. Many men have sailed in that vessel.

But it's Kwannon she's referring to, who was in possession of Psylocke's body from the time before it turned into the mutant Love Boat that we all know and love today.

The Love Boat was in her character way before Kwannon. She hit on Doug Ramsey, and Colossus and gave Jaime Braddock a lap dance long before Kwannon.

...she gave her own brother a lapdance? O.o That harridan.
I remember she kind of date-raped Havok through the Siege Perilous as well...

We saw the lapdance during a flashback to a car ride he gives her in the issue where she transforms into an fauxAsian. She's just a girl when she sits on his lap, but once the ride is over she walks out of the car as a full grown woman.

she showed off her scabs and scars a lot lol.
I always thought it'd be interesting for her to return to her original body even without the dyed purple hair, but I guess it would just make her Emma Frost now.

I remember seeing her with these weird, circular sores all over her skin. This panel is new to me, thank you for sharing it!
I'm starting to like Revanche. It's unfortunate, but I doubt she's going to be the one to come back. If she does, she should show off her scars and oozing sores at least once an issue.

If Kwannon doesn't grow back her eyes, she is not fully healed. If she isn't healed, she is still rotting. At worst, she dies again right away. At best, she is a zombie.

Her death was tragic and I guess I wasn't clamouring for her return, but I like her a lot more than Betsy actually.
I'd love to see her develop as a villainess. Or hero, whatever!

I'd like to see her character developed, as well.
When I first saw Kwannon it was directly before her death. I completely missed the issues detailing the body-swap and only saw the aftermath. I was happy that there were two purple haired woman about (I <3 purple), but then saw that Kwannon was dying. I detached myself from her character. I was still grieving for Clarice (can we tell I get my comics completely out of order?) and couldn't handle liking and losing another character so soon.
I'm such a dork LOL.
