[AcesX1X]

i love marc silvestri. i wish marvel would find some way to get him to replace the people on uncanny currently.

[prince_nightcrawler]

Looks like Venom and Northstar might just have a good time...

[psycwave]

Damn thats hot! Asian Psylocke.....but she british again. RIGHT???

[Optic Rage!]

!!!!

That looks hot. I can't wait for this.

[Yearning4Yorick]

That looks wonderful. I look forward to reading this crossover as I am enjoying both Dark Avengers and Uncanny X-Men. I am curious though, I had thought it was only Silvestri drawing this, when did Bianchi come on and how does that affect Astonishing? Is it going to be even later?

[Imraith Nimphais]

I am torn.
I loveLoveLOVE Silvestri.
I detest Fraction
I LOATHE Bianchi
I am most apathetic towards this whole DR-wot-ever.
I am not getting this...(well, that was easier than I thought).

[Nicoclaws]

Sooo asian Psylocke ? (and still with the SAME outfit...)

[Yearning4Yorick]

We should probably wait and see how this current arc plays out before we start complaining, I am not directing this at you either my friend, just stating in general.

[darkwolf]

Looks like Cyke and Logan have to kick the Avengers ass and save their team.

Well I don't like the art. And although I like Asian Betsy, a little design change would have been welcome.

[rwsmith]

I like how you don't know whether that's Logan or Daken in the Wolverine mask on the left. The coloring is very ambiguous so you can't really tell if it's blue/yellow or brown/tan. I wonder if that was by design? My guess is it's Logan because of the stubble. Daken is not hairy like his father and I don't recall ever seeing him not clean-shaven.

Regardless, cool cover.

I never understand these sort of posts. So negative.

Like, why post in a thread about a book you are not going to get? Do you expect us to give a shit?

[ExodusCloak]

Homage to Emma's Original White Queen costume I think.

[CmX]

Actually I think it's a coloring error lol You can see that it is Bianchi's design for Emma.

[eurazn]

I'm not saying this to be antagonistic because it's a genuine question: what's the difference between the post you're referencing and your own? Both are statements of opinion regarding an issue which is being discussed in this thread. Whether it's positive or negative, the opinions themselves don't particularly matter but what IS important is that they can both be expressed.

Comixfan has enough fluff and flowers; I prefer divergence of thought.

[HeckBoy]

Geez, they just had to have Emma in her underwear again?

[Vivica Kang09]

....Its funny because Dark Avengers are about to get murdered by the x-men in their territory! Cant wait!

[jmc247]

Are we getting one issue of Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia a month?

[Yearning4Yorick]

Are we getting one issue of Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia a month?

I believe it is two issues a month, one in Uncanny and one in Dark Avengers.

[NewMutant]

I wish they would give Emma her pants... come on colorist!

I am just glad to see Northstar on a cover for an actual "event"

[AcesX1X]

if bianchi is assisting marc silvestri in the penciling chores, then i hope that he remembers to include a face for everyone.

[DeniseXfrost]

Geez, they just had to have Emma in her underwear again?
She wore pants but they were torn out.

[Swashbuckler]

This is the team? Beast, Colossus, Northstar, Emma and Psylocke? No wonder the X-Men loose this.

[AcesX1X]

She wore pants but they were torn out.

LOL. you post amazingly.

[Swashbuckler]

I am looking foward to this though, I love Silvestri. But what is up with Psylocke? I guess she won't stay British.

[HeckBoy]

She wore pants but they were torn out.Haha, then it's nice to see she wears thigh high stockings even under her pants.

[DeniseXfrost]

LOL. you post amazingly.
I wonder who gets to rape her.

[NewMutant]

She wore pants but they were torn out.

Her outfit is the only one torn out then... in perfect seemless way too.

[Alphaxman]

It reminds me of the Inferno promo picture by Silvestri. I just hope that most of the X-Men are involved and not just the ones on the cover.

[Imraith Nimphais]

Edit: in response to Optic Rage.
Just as I hope you do not think everyone "gives a shit" about wot you post..."negative" or not, it is my opinion...ignore as seems fit and read on...and I had every intension of getting this if only for the Silvestri art...but now that I see Bianchi is attached, I've changed my mind.

Don't worry, Bianchi is only doing variant covers for the series.

This was the very first thing that came to mind when I saw Silvestri's cover...and I was completely bowled over and excited...but alas!...my excitement has waned...still, I will give it a peruse on the shelf.

[CyberHubbs]

Marc Silvestri is back in town.

Thats exactly what I was thinking! I feel like the Wolverine Cyclops heads are similar to his MC one shot cover too.

[Imraith Nimphais]

You kid me not!...please, tell me that wot you say is true.:smile:
You are a ray of sunshine on my dark, dreary day.:biggrin:

[rZi]

Kinda forgot about silverstri....miss him a little!

Emma looks.......LUSH!!!

shame bianchi is on the interiors...wonder if he'll tell this story as poorly as he does in AXM. Hell it's not just even his panels....his women look like undead hookers and the backgrounds are hideous, talk about the wrong artist for the book.

SB is on interiors... Dedato and Dodson are... with Silverstri doing the one shot. SB is doing variant covers apparently.

[Mitteloss]

That team looks awesome!

Emma, Beast, Colossus, Psylocke, Northstar, plus Wolverine, Cyclops, Angel, Dazzler and Nightcrawler.

[SkinFromBone]

I Like Emma that way. Good cover. Maybe there's a good story to go with it. We'll see.

Don't forget Pixie and Hepzibah!

[cgar]

Silvestri art is nice i like his Beast better then anyones. Lame that everyone has a new costumes EXCEPT Betsy. Can they not be creative and just make her a damb new one.

[Yearning4Yorick]

I like the current one.

[peopleofpaper]

I like the art. I like the way he draws Beast. I rather have a British Psylocke but I do like the coloring a lot! She doesn't have purple hair but I really hope her uniform is dark black with a magenta belt- that'd be sweet.

[Majinoaw]

Predictions on the outcome of this storyline.

LET THE INANE, YET HIGHLY ENTERTAINING SPECULATION...BEGIN!:biggrin:

Then enter the Dark X-Men in the UXM #513 & Dark Avengers #7.

Heck the solicits of UXM #513 clearly spoil Utopia. They even mention that X happens in Utopia.

[MartinRedmond]

Marvel: If you don't like Bendis, we'll shove his storylines down your titles anyhow.

[ExodusCloak]

Marvel: If you don't like Bendis, we'll shove his storylines down your titles anyhow.

It's all Fraction, he's writing both the Dark Avengers and Uncanny X-Men.

[Yearning4Yorick]

I love people with your positive outlook on life.

[Imraith Nimphais]

But the whole SI and DR stuff is entirely Bendis' bebe.

[ExodusCloak]

But the whole SI and DR stuff is entirely Bendis' bebe.

The crossover is Fractions though, that was made very clear by Bendis. He's only thrown in one or two small ideas for the crossover.

[MartinRedmond]

The Avengers aren't mutants. It disgusts me to see them mixing with homosuperior. Magneto better kill the whole cast.

[Maestro]

I think this will be better than Messiah War

[Prodigy55]

Emma needs a wax, srsly.

But I think she was supposed to be wearing pants, but the colouring is wrong.

[Anna]

We should probably wait and see how this current arc plays out before we start complaining, I am not directing this at you either my friend, just stating in general.

I remember when Marvel colored Betsy's hair green on a cover to avoid spoiling her return; I just wish colorist would remember to keep her hair purple....

[Imraith Nimphais]

Small idea #1: None of my DA dies or is seriously injured.
Small idea #2: Make my DA look good...other than that...do wot the heck you want.:biggrin:

[Bronze Badger]

I remember when Marvel colored Betsy's hair green on a cover to avoid spoiling her return; I just wish colorist would remember to keep her hair purple....

Maybe the Dark Avengers attacked while everyone was standing over Psylocke's lifeless Asian body discussing what they should do with it. The body could be like Where's Waldo. In every issue it's hidden somewhere and you have to find it.

[Bronze Badger]

double post

[Plym]

Who on Earth gave Fraction all these books?
Did they read Uncanny #500??

Psylocke is hot.

[the Hornet]

Damn thats hot! Asian Psylocke.....but she british again. RIGHT???

You know what....I think that at the end of the current Psyclocke-Sisterhood arc, Betsy still keeps her British body (only in comics can you say such things :rolleyes: ) but dyes her hair a darker purple and continues using the 90s costume. So we won't have to deal with the old Kwanon body swap and still get to have the 90s look, after all its art and can be made to look however needed.

[oneshyguy46]

Sooo asian Psylocke ? (and still with the SAME outfit...)

Just like it should be :tongue:
LOVE asian psylocke :biggrin:

[Nicoclaws]

Yes, but ninja are SO XXth...

[Yearning4Yorick]

Psylocke is hot.

Yea, they probably also read his Iron Man, Iron Fist and Thor one-shots too.

[steve2275]

Haha, then it's nice to see she wears thigh high stockings even under her pants.
NUTHIN wrong with that :smile:

[Maestro]

here is the other variant

Personally I understand these kinds of rude minimodding attempts that fly in the face of the Civility rule even less.

[darknessatnoon]

Are you trying to be ironic?

[streator]

looks okay, but a little too similar to the messiah complex one-shot cover he did.

Wow that's the first I've seen this. Daken's about to get a spanking from his pappy.
